NPR: A Day To Celebrate

My Cancer

A Day To Celebrate

If there's ever a day to celebrate Leroy's creative energy, today is that day.

It's Halloween. A holiday that brought out his best ideas that fit into the theme of our annual "come as your favorite story of the year" party.

Dolly the Sheep, Linda Tripp, a Mad Cow, Janet Reno, just to remember a few.

His creations were legend and done with fine touches to detail. The band was loud. Tons of decorations. Talking and eating. The house was packed with friends dressed as headlines.

It was a happy time. No thoughts of chemo or radiation. A cancer-free zone.
Halloween rocked at our house.

So if you're in the mood to dress up and celebrate, make it a "Leroy-Halloween" and give it all you've got.

Happy Halloween
