Remember how I was supposed to post a recipe at Frosting for the Cause on September 6?  Don’t worry…time didn’t really fly that quickly!  Two June dates opened up and I offered to switch to the later one because it was the day after my aunt’s birthday.

Anyway, that’s today.  (The posting date, not her birthday, silly!)

If you would like to read about my Aunt Tammy and also how I made these Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies, then cruise on over!

Thanks to Paula for organizing such a great cause!

Aunt Tammy with Natalie (my niece), Easter 2011

Two years ago, my Aunt Tammy was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.  As aggressive as her cancer was, she constantly remained optimistic, even calling what most refer to as their “battle” with the disease her “journey”.  Sadly, she passed on Monday, with my uncle right by her side, just as he always has been.  Those of us who knew her are fortunate to have had her in our lives, as short as her time was with us.

On September 6, 2011, I will post at Frosting for the Cause in honor of Aunt Tammy with support to the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.

UPDATE: My posting date is now June 23, 2011, which is the day after what would have been my aunt’s 51st birthday.
