On Tueday, August 2, here in Arlington, VA, Susan Anne Catherine Torres was delivered via c-section. She was 1 pound, 13 ounces and 142 days early. She is doing well.
Her mother, Susan Torres, had a stroke on May 7th - a complication of Melanoma. She had originally been diagnosed in her teens and was cancer-free for 9 years. Susan was only 26 when she passed. The rest of her story can be found here.
You can make a donation to The Susan M. Torres Fund to help offset the familys medical expenses, if you like.
Be aware, appreciate what you have and Live STRONG!

That is such a sad story. I hadn't realized that she was a melanoma victim. :-(
I hope you're feeling okay! Jeanne and I looked for you tonight at the 5K and we were concerned when we couldn't spot you!!!
Very sad indeed...
