About Me

My photo
Rayne, Louisiana
You've got to be kidding me, I have Breast Cancer? My name is Madelene Boudreaux. I just had my 51st birthday and my present was cancer. Although it wasn't the present I was expecting, I have decided to embrace it as such. My life as it existed is changed. Even though my diagnosis is that I have the most common breast cancer you can have (80% of the women who get breast cancer have this one) and the actual tumor was only 1.2 centimeters and there was only a microscopic spec in one lymph node... things just changed overnight. I feel confident that I will be healed with all the surgery, chemo and radiation, as well as the prayers, the shift in lifestyle and health changes, all of this with God as my Healer overseeing the whole plan. Most importantly, sunsets are more beautiful, my children are more precious and I cry for everything. Such clarity prevails, where life was blurry. I know my healing will come gently through trusted medical professionals, faith in a loving God and prayerful friends. I am surrounded by love with my family of eight kids and a great husband and a community of kind spirits!

A little bit of everything!








First of all, can you believe this dog? This is Malorie's newest addition to her menagerie of pets! I tried to capture the essence of her "beauty" in the this photo! I think I succeeded. I have never seen anything so atrocious in all my life. All God's creatures need love. Lucky for them there are people like Malorie in the world!
Audrey loves to watch TV. Here she is watching TV with Happy in bed! Today she missed her usual visit with her cousin, Evie, because Evie is in Indiana visiting her relatives on her mom's side! A 15 hour road trip!! We all missed Evie. (and her mom and dad too, of course)
Matt and his two boys, Jackson and Austin, came over and we celebrated Austin's 4th birthday. He was intrigued with the sunflower field and was excited to be able to pick sunflowers.
Twas a good day!
