Such a special Christmas with my SIL

[seadoug]

It was such a special trip.

My SIL is a beautiful, caring lady who has been battling breast cancer and is on her second round of chemo. I've known her now for 32 years, before she got married and any of her kids were born. My hubby and I went to stay with her, along with my BIL and three of her children that still live at home. We spent a few days with her and took her to get her chemo this morning before flying home. She is still struggling with losing her hair because it was so thick and beautiful, but we say she looks beautiful without it.

We have a February cruise scheduled but after that we will be visiting her in March and April to take her to chemo and support her. So far, so good.

Here is a pic of her with my hubby (on the right) and his brother. She says she looks like a "pirate" with the head scarf. We disagree.

She has a beautiful smile! So great you made good memories

The first thing I noticed was that smile. It lights up the photo. Glad you were there and will be there later.

It’s wonderful that you can be there to support her! She looks sweet.

Your sister-in-law's smile shows her beautiful soul. I hope the radiation is successful, and she has many more years ahead of her.

Thank you for sharing these photos with us @seadoug

If that's a pirate, it's the prettiest one I've ever seen. I agree with the others here... that smile is so endearing. I'm sure she's very glad you and your hubby are such a strong support for her. @seadoug

Your sister in law looks like a lovely lady both inside and out. I wish her nothing but the best in her fight against cancer and a successful recovery. Being surrounded by such love and family who care is heartwarming, hugs and love to all of you. Happy and healthy new year to your family.
