“Love to unite us now and forever” 🩷
Words we recite together in our Junior Auxiliary prayer, but words that have taken on an entirely new meaning for our sisterhood.
Yesterday, our sweet Abbie Ham rang the bell, marking the end of chemotherapy in her breast cancer journey. A moment filled with so much strength, hope, love and victory! 🔔
Earlier this month, our chapter welcomed Breast Cancer Awareness Month by coming together in pink, honoring those who have fought, those still fighting, and those we hold close in our hearts. For our chapter, these shirts and sweatshirts carried an even deeper meaning as we stood together in love and support of one of our very own.
Designed by our chapter and brought to life by SDesigns, these shirts and sweatshirts were made available to all active, life, and associate members, with all proceeds going directly to Abbie and her family.
Across the front were those familiar words from our JA prayer: “Love to unite us now and forever.”
When we joined Junior Auxiliary, we made a commitment to serve others. Somewhere along the way, we also found a sisterhood that extends far beyond our service projects, meetings, and time spent together. One that celebrates the good days, stands beside each other through the difficult ones, and reminds us that none of us have to walk through life’s hardest seasons alone.
Abbie, we are so incredibly proud of you! We hope you have felt every bit of the love, prayers, and encouragement surrounding you throughout this journey. Yesterday’s bell was yours to ring, but the joy of that moment was shared by so many who love and admire you.
As we celebrate this milestone and recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we hope Abbie’s story serves as a reminder to be proactive about your health. Schedule your recommended screenings, listen to your body, advocate for yourself, and encourage the women in your life to do the same.
And perhaps most importantly, love your people dearly. We never know what tomorrow may bring, but we can choose how deeply we love today.
