I'm Olivia, Shirlene's granddaughter. I'm posting for her today because her computer isn't working. On Monday, my grandma had her last herceptin infusion. All of my cousins and I made a poster board that we had all signed and wrote little things like, "Our Grandma is tough!", and, "Our Grandma is AMAZING!" Haley and I made a heart shaped cake with the Breast Cancer ribbon on it (made out of sprinkles.) We all walked in to surprise her with pink balloons, our card, and our cake. All of the patients in the infusion center were very excited to watch all 10 grandchildren go and sit by our grandma. After her treatment was over, she got to ring the bell. All of the nurses and patients clapped and hoorayed. We all love our Grandma SO much and we are all so excited that she is done with cancer! She was so brave and strong throughout this whole year. Grandma has been so amazing with the best attitude. She has taught us all the meaning of gratitude this year. We love her so much and are so proud of her, but now it's time to say, BYE BYE CANCER!!!

Congratulations Sis.Seare! I am so proud of you. I can't imagine the year you and your sweet family have had, but I am glad that it is over. May Heavenly Father continue to bless you.
Dear Shirlene ~
Just found your blog...
What an inspiration...first I would like to express my sincere gratitude that you are well and have endured and conquered the unthinkable. You are amazing and always have been. So many years, 40 to be exact, since we have seen one another. Spoke w/your sweet Mom several years ago. She too remains amazing. You are just as stuning as I remember ~ look how very blessed you and Mike are with your beautiful (large) family ~ your pride and love for each of them is expressed within every word you write. It would be lovely to visit with you.
May your health and strength continue to improve ~
Sincerely,
Lynda Olsen Westphal

Great post Olivia! Your Grandma is a strong lady. I love that she has set that great foundation for your family and all of her friends. I have been blessed by her advice many times too.
I am so happy (i think I could ring a bell too!) that she was able to over come this yucky disease and spend even more time with your family. I am so excited for you all to be close together with your move up there. We will miss you but we promise to visit, blog, and call often !
Love you all! Marla Arnold
Shirlene, I am so thrilled to hear of your great success in this huge trial you have conquered!! You have been such a great inspiration to so many and are so loved. I am grateful for your friendship and look forward to hear of all the fun things you and your family are able to do together. What an accomplishment. Keep in touch, I love you!!

What a blessing your family is! To have all those beautiful people at your side, throughout the tough year and especially at your last treatment, must have given you strength to push through the darkest moments. Enjoy celebrating with them -- living with them, in the light of life! Peace, and Happy New Year!
