Thanks

A little over 3 years ago, my mom broke news to us that forever changed our lives: it was cancer. Even though her doctor had comforted her that it was probably nothing when she had a mammogram done, he encouraged her to go ahead and see a specialist, just to be safe. Praise God that she trusted his judgement. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in her left breast, and had surgery soon thereafter at Baptist in Nashville. Thankfully, the surgery went well, although it was learned the mass was larger than expected, so it was necessary to take additional lymph nodes to ensure the cancer had not spread to other areas of her body. After the surgery, she needed additional radiation and chemotherapy. Many of you have met my mom... you know that she is the most loving, amazing woman that God has ever graced this sad world with. My mom is the most unconditionally loving person, and a pillar of strength. She has always been my rock. The chemo was so hard on her, that during her last and worst chemo session I had taken her to, she looked at me with her pain-filled eyes and told me that if she had to do anymore treatments, she would just tell them to forget it and to let her die. I'm not ashamed to tell you, I still cry as much today thinking about it as I did then. Mercifully, God has laid his healing hand upon her. 3 years later, which doctor's say are the most important, she is still cancer free.Sadly, many of you reading this have been affected by cancer somehow already. Undoubtedly, if not... you will. All month, the NHL and it's individual teams have made efforts towards this battle with Hockey Fights Cancer. Tonight, 25% of the Preds ticket sales will be donated to causes that fight cancer. I don't know if anyone involved with the Predators or the NHL reads this. I seriously doubt it. But if they do... I thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

Until next time, God bless you all. - Big Kev
