I would have never dreamed that someone would write about these two things together. Breast cancer and taxes. I was diagnosed with breast cancer just this past Wednesday and notified of an IRS lien on my life yesterday. (Friday, two days later) I totally enjoyed the story with your grandma, I too have wonderful warming memories of mine. Good luck on your goal here and THANK YOU !!! This is too wonderful.

I drink far too much Diet Coke and am, in fact, 5'2" so I tell them soda stunts your growth. I have not, however, told them that Uncle Rob used to drink like 2 liters of Sundrop a day - he's 6'. Oxnate,
I tell my kids the same thing about soda. I drink far too much Diet Coke and am, in fact, 5′2″ so I tell them soda stunts your growth.
I have not, however, told them that Uncle Rob used to drink like 2 liters of Sundrop a day – he’s 6′.

What a lovely post & memory of your grandmother. My own grandmother died of lymphoma after a long battle with breast cancer, and my mother passed last year after a 12 year battle with Alzheimers. I think of them both EVERY day & it's the sweet memories like you've shared above that make me smile (my mom always drank her beloved coffee with cream - as do I). Thanks for offering to make a donation to Susan G Komen, your grandmother would be proud of you I'm sure! :-) Cheers, @Jasperblu Oh TaxGirl! What a lovely post & memory of your grandmother.

Currently they have a campaign going to encourage people to write Yoplait. Yoplait sends money to the Susan G. Koman foundation when a purchaser sends in a pink lid. Unfortunately, Yoplait uses milk form rBGH injected cows for its yogurt which has been identified as a cause of breast cancer. The site helps guide us when making purchases that are supposedly made to help breast cancer research.
