Description

Ashley’s only wish was to be alive to raise her two children, Audrey Margaret and James Thomas (J.T). Audrey was six and a half and JT barely three when she was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Sadly, her wish was not granted and she passed away two years and three months after the initial diagnosis. This unedited collection of her thoughts, fears, and musing are dedicated to her children so that they will know how badly she wanted to be with them and how she loved them with all of her heart. Betty Crew Brown’s motivation for wanting to chronical the brave and loving words that flowed from her daughter’s Blog posts was chiefly so Ashley’s young children would someday know how much their mother adored each of them. And, how valiantly she fought for the gift of an extended life that she hoped to share with them and the other friends and family members who meant more to her than even her eloquent words could express. It was Steve Upton, Betty’s collaborator on this work and a published author, who first suggested to Betty that other people who are presently battling one of life’s oppressive medical conditions could gain a measure of peace, understanding and courage from Ashley’s brutally candid description of her last months. After much thought and careful consideration, Betty agreed to allow the book to be offered to the public, with one important stipulation. She was clear that no profit be realized from the publishing and sale of this book. Consequently, all proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to cancer research, and especially toward research targeted at ending breast cancer.
