Live and Give is my memoir. I am Holly Rose, a wife and mother of two, whose world was turned upside down at the age of thirty-nine after receiving a playful posting on Facebook reminding me to perform a self-breast exam. That night I did my self-check for breast cancer and, to my horror, I felt a lump. A week later a doctor coldly told me, a??What I see is not very good. You have a long hard road ahead of you.a?? Initially, my only thoughts were of my babies not having a mother and my husband living without a wife. For the next nine months I questioned, a??Why Me?a?? as I trudged through two surgeries, four months of chemo-therapy and two months of radiation. In the process I unearthed a voice deep inside of me. I had always hoped that God would bless me one day with a voice like that of Julie Andrews, bringing song into every childa??s home, filling it with laughter and love. God did decide to give me a voice; he just had a sense of humor about it. He decided my voice was to be shared in cyberspace and in Live and Give. As I Facebooked my way through breast cancer, I discovered many of my lifea??s lessons, which I share. I witnessed how genuinely beautiful and caring people are, I relived seventeen years of true love with my hubby and I poured out my endearing love for my babies. Ultimately, through my pondering, I did find my meaning in this wonderful life . . . to live and give.
