mother daughter

Two things. First of all, Emily, her daughter and her mother all flew in from Denver to be part of the 30 Strangers project. And here’s the fun part. They came to Provo, and her last name is Provost. Get it? Provo–Provost. Neat, huh. And they’ve never been here before so I suggested they eat at Communal, Pizzeria 712, Rooster and Gurus while they are here. I think they went to Communal for lunch.

So that’s a good story and all, but get this. Emily and her mother are fighters. Strong women. Survivors. Her mother has had breast cancer twice, and beat it both times. And Emily has had breast cancer and beat it. Emily’s father, not so fortunate. He died of breast cancer 3 years ago.

In an email to me before she came, Emily wrote, I’m a positive and funny person. Really. So don’t worry about the session being all “cancery cancerton.”

She was right. Positive and funny. And now, meet three of my new favorite people.
