I taped the show too, but I have not watched it.

It amazes me how sometimes the people who seem to be going through the hardest time do have the best attitude. When I was working summers at Marathon in Findlay, I worked with a woman whose daughters I knew of through volleyball, as we played against them in high school. We became friends and that summer, and that same year she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She said she always knew she would get it, having lost both parents and a grandfather to breast cancer, it was just a matter of when.

After I went back to school , we kept in touch and would at least exchange Christmas cards each year. She went through so much as the cancer spread and eventually it gotinto her bones. She had pieces of her jaw removed twice as well as mant other complications. Sheila passed away on Christmas day 2006.

The one thing that has stuck with me was her attitude of "find a bigger problem" No matter what she was facing, she always said there were people out there whose situation was worse then hers. That attitude can really put things into perspective when things are rough , we have to remember how lucky we are for the good things we do have.
