Mrs.Workman -
My memories of you have been nothing but wonderful. Yet, as I'm writing this tears are filling my eyes because it just hit me what has happened. Nobody knows the joy you brought to me. The way you talked about little Mindy, and the heart you had to adopt her. You showed her off like she was your precious china doll. You gave that little girl everything, and I loved being able to be apart of that. Giving Mindy dance lessons was the coolest thing.
You made chemistry so happy and fun, WHO DOES THAT?! I remember when you would walk to the back of the classroom and put on your little cheese hat and scream "IM FROM WIS-CAN-SIN"and tell us inappropriate stories about your family.
You definitely embarrassed the heck out of me in front of the entire class,but I don't even care anymore.haha.
You were so strong for each of your students and your family throughout this whole battle. I'm so proud that you "hung in there" as long as you did. You were truly an incredible woman of faith, and I'm so glad I got to be a part of your life.
Love you cheesehead.

REJOICE REJOICE AND AGAIN I SAY, REJOICE !
Yesterday I woke up around 6:00am to get ready for school and the rest of the day. Soon after I woke up,my mom was awake. She had chemo scheduled yesterday,and on chemo days she doesn't sleep much. What the rest of the world didn't know,besides my family, was that yesterday was supposed to be her last chemo because of a lot of things that have been happening. Knowing it was her last time,there were a lot of emotions running through the Hutcherson house. I got to hold my mom and cry with her for a little bit yesterday. While the chemotherapy from hell was ending, and that was exciting , the fight still isn't over. There are some surgeries and other things down the road.
I went to school yesterday sporting my mom's breast cancer awareness shirt and my breast cancer ribbon shoelaces.Right after I got out of school I rushed over to the chemo center.I got there and everyone was packing stuff up,I was so confused. -The Doctor checked my mom's counts and wasn't happy with them,so they just decided she didn't have to go through chemo. Which means ..
NO MORE CHEMO THERAPY FOR MOMMY!
WOW. What a blessing. Nobody knows what happens behind closed doors during/the following weeks after mom goes through chemo. It's suckville.
After receiving the news,the fam went out to lunch to celebrate along with cancer survivor and friend Tammy Coleman. It was great !
Our family still can't process how real this is considering going to chemo and the doctor visits have been a regular part of our every day life for quite some time.
As said before,we're not completely finished.KEEP PRAYING!

BOO! [bies].
Some of you may know this amazing lady below.Yeah,that's my mom aka: Vern aka: My hero.She has been awesom throughout her cancer battle,and I'm so proud of her.Prayers are always appreciated,we hope that she gets to end this fight with this nasty disease SOON! If you want to help support / spread my family's story visit http://inspiredlooks.org
I'm sure you've seen or heard all the ruccus. October is usually connected to pumpkins and Halloween and whatnot .. this year October has a totally different meaning for me. It's breast cancer awareness month. This is a topic very close to my heart [no pun intended].
Around March of this year, my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer.I thought that was tough..then on May 15th it got a lot more shaky when my mom told us she too had been diagnosed with breast cancer. My world was forever changed. I've had many experiences with friends and family having cancer, so I thought I knew what to expect.I was wrong. Nobody can ever say they "know what you're going through" unless they've experienced their own parent dealing with cancer firsthand.
Watching someone be in so much pain scares the living daylights out of me.Especially when it's my own mom, one of the people who could always make me feel better by giving me medicine or doing other motherly things like simply kissing my booboos to make them go away. Now she's the one who's sick and there's nothing I can do about it. It sucks. It's not something you can just give her some medicine and she's good to go. The weeks alternate on how she feels,some weeks she just straight up throws up everything she has eaten,which you probably didn't want to hear, but you know in that situation there's nothing a person can do. Other days she's stuck in bed because she's in so much pain from her chemo. Everyone around her is helpless.
I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through this nightmare.
GIRLS; please please please take care of yourself. Check yourself. And older women,make sure to schedule your yearly mammograms , it can save your life.
*treasure your chest*
Every sixty-nine seconds a woman dies of breast cancer, but believe it or not , women aren't the only ones who can be diagnosed with breast cancer.Men can get it too! No matter the gender of the person diagnosed,it completely changes the lives of those who love that person. 69-seconds.org
