I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a proud stay-at-home Mommy of three boys, Christian-6, Devin-4 and Brendan-1. I am happily married to an incredible man and wonderful father. It will be 13 years in May......................................................... ...................................................... On December 21, 2005, we heard the Earth-shattering words that no parent should ever have to hear, "Your son has cancer." You can read his story at www.caringbridge.org/visit/christianlosurdo. After 6 rounds of radiation and 6 months of chemo, I am PROUD to say that he is N.E.D. (No Evidence of Disease - equivalent of "in remission".)................................................ ........................................................... My family is my life. I am especially close to my sister, Dina. She is not only my sister, but my best friend. She has been there for me more times than I could even count. She has done everything from packing up my entire house for a move while I was 8.5 months pregnant, to completely taking over my household while I was at my son's side in a hospital 1.5 hours away. I also have two other incredible sisters, the BEST parents any one could pray for and wonderful in-laws to boot!....................................................... ............................................Cancer has taught me how precious and fragile life is...what a blessed gift from God we all have. Cancer has taught me not to sweat the small stuff, but to live for every moment - especially the small ones. Cancer has taught me that life goes on...don't worry about what could be but rather enjoy what -IS- as today will be gone tomorrow and you wasted it away with your worries and fears. Cancer has taught me that I am NOT in control...that was a hard one! Cancer has taught me that nothing is certain in this world...except for love. Love from God given to all of us to share. And cancer has taught me that there ARE loving, compassionate, charitable, generous people in this world filled with so much hate, greed and selfishness - they're Angels here on Earth.................................................

I am sure you will be shocked to find that I am a total movie nut. I can usually find SOMETHING to like in almost every movie I see. LOVE CINEMA!!! My favs are all of the old 80's "brat packs"....Pretty In Pink, 16 Candles, Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, About Last Nite, etc etc... I am also OBSESSED with VAMPIRE movies...anything dark..... But I love everything from Romantic Comedies to Sci Fi, Tear Jerkers to Action...so just save me the aisle seat, ok?

Heroes:

-My 6 year old son, CHRISTIAN, who KICKED cancer's BUTT!! (You think it's tough to watch an adult you love fight cancer? Try watching not only a young child, but YOUR child!!) -People (Like Democrats, soldiers, doctors & nurses) who care about our planet, its future and who care more for others than themselves.
