A mother may never know the impact they have on their children. They may not ever get to see that the love, the strength, the poise and the humor that they filled their home with, will be the very things that carry their own child through the same disease, years later. 

 “To the person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it.” That’s how Cheryl and Meg met, from a t-shirt Cheryl was wearing at the gym. Cheryl and Meg began what they like to call a “silent friendship.” Always being placed next to one another at the gym not knowing that the simple laughter and eye rolls and sometimes a little TMI, was starting both of their days off with a smile. Meg came on the podcast to share her experience and journey with breast cancer and these two felt like they were side by side at the gym all over again, laughing, crying and talking so much they forgot to pay attention, as the podcast ran for over two hours. I’m honored that Meg chose this space to share her story.
