The Photo Above was taken on the 9th of Feb 2013. On the picture is my aunt and godmother Guiomar and me on the Carnaval Parade in Sao Paulo - Brasil.
My aunt is far the most energetic, happy, full of life person I know... She is currently battling a second cancer. This time the cancer has reached her liver. Even though her cancer is very severe and she is undergoing weekly chemotherapy sessions she hasn't stopped living her life at maximum. She continues attending the four times a week dance classes, she continues to attend parties and gathering with friends and family. Even though in agony most of the times she is always out with family, relatives or friends spreading her joy and happiness all around.
Whilst I was in Brazil on holidays she was there smiling, laughing and spreading her joy all around as she always does. On the Sao Paulo Carnaval Parade there she was...she united over 15 people including myself, friends and relatives to parade....Deep down she was in agony, lots of pain. She had had chemotherapy two days before the parade but she faced it...She went on on the parade, dancing, sending kisses to the audience, smiling and giving a huge example of strength to live.
She inspires me every day with her passion for life and with her kindness and joy. I am here praying for her spirit to continue being brave to face such sad illness.
I would like to invite here everyone who follows this blog to join me on a world wide pray for my beloved aunt and for all of those who suffer of cancer. Let's fight cancer together with a chain of positive thoughts.
