Always present, Cancer

By June Hibbard

Throughout all seasons, though the generations of family and friends, Cancer exists. My namesake, June Patty Hibbard (Leukemia) together with my dad and aunt; my father, Gerald Michael Hibbard (Pancreatic Cancer); my great grandmother Hibbard (Breast Cancer); and my close friend, Matthew James Duket (Multiple Myeloma), who is still battling to live. Cancer is a long road alone, a dark diseased Fall, a cold harsh Winter, and suffocating Summer, Springing life into small glimpses of hope. Don't lose hope!
