Topic: One year video.

Hi Everyone,

It will be one year that Lauren was diagnosed with CC on Aug. 29th. I wanted to do something special for her, so I made a little video. These are all pictures from the year. This is her blog link if you want to check it out. I wish more people on here would post pictures. I would love to see what you all look like!

My beautiful daughter, Lauren Patrice, will live on in my heart forever.

My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

Re: One year video.

Oh, Pamela, this was the most awesome, beautiful, wonderful video I have seen but I can't help thinking and wishing it was not true. My gosh, Lauren looks beautiful through the whole video, always with that gorgeous smile, one would never think anything about her but a picture of health! BTW, also loved the doggies dressed up for Christmas. You did a splended job on this, I see a new career for you! I only have one question. How did you get to be so tall like me???? OK. ok. to me you are a very tall woman. I used to say about Teddy, "How does a short man get so tall?" You join that list of people I want to be like when I grow up.

Re: One year video.

I loved it Pam! And yes, I did cry w few tears during it. It's so unfair that someone as young as Lauren is having to deal with this. I love the song you put with it. Yes, she is a fighter.

Re: One year video.

Pam, I've watched your video probably 4 times!  Every time I notice something I didn't see before!  Your family life is full and rich.  I am so inspired by your attitudes!  I love the music you put with the video.  It is a beautiful tribute to Lauren!  Tell Lauren to keep fighting, winning and living life!  Pam

Re: One year video.

Hi Pam,  Like Lainy I watched that and thought "Lauren is the picture of health." Really, she does not look sick. Nearly one year, what a milestone and I am expecting many more years to come. I think of you guys often and if well wishes worked Lauren would be 100% by now! She really is doing remarkable though. I am not computer savvy like yourself but I am on facebook (Nancy Jensen Revelstoke B.C.) and have some pictures on there. Friend me if you are on. Sending lots and lots of healing thoughts to Lauren and you. Hugs. Nancy

Re: One year video.

Hi Pam,

I pop on to the CC site every now and again to check in with my CC family, I always check on Lauren. She is such an inspirational young lady. 

What a lovely video, Lauren is so beautiful and the love you have for each other shines through on every photo.  The song has become one of my favourites.

Tell Lauren to keep kickin CCs butt!!

Much love
