36 Comments on Breast Cancer Awareness Month A Video and Photo Tribute

Ashley, I don't know where to start.  Yes I do...KUDOS to your daughter for the inspirational video.  Natty is quite the caring young lady. 

Your family has battled this disease for over 50 years.  When you hear the words "breast cancer" it really hits home for you.  As Natty said "Believe..." Hopefully one day soon we can all "believe" that that this horrid disease will be in the past. 

Beautiful and inspirational Ashley.  Thank you SO much for this post.

Ashley, a wonderful photo tribute and I am speechless at the video Natty put together! I hate it that your family has had such a battle with breast cancer but how wonderful to see that they were able to successfully battle it. Your family is an inspiration.

Ashley that is quite a tribute and one that everybody should read and watch.  You are in a family of amazing woman.

Kris - I was just stunned at the video she put together. I just sat there and cried. Thank you for the nice comment about Natty.

10/14/2007 12:09 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Sarah - Thank you! She also has a youtube following. She has a group of fans who are always asking when her next show is coming out!

10/14/2007 12:11 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Missy - Thank you and I am going to show her all these nice comments everyone has left.

10/14/2007 12:12 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Charles - I have a hard time doing anything about breast cancer without tearing up. I had tears just pouring down my cheeks when I saw Natty's video the first time.

10/14/2007 12:14 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Marchel - I think that is what helped my mother. She had seen her grandmother go through it twice and survive it. It didn't have to be a death sentence in her mind.

10/14/2007 12:16 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Julie - Thank you! I think the woman in my family kick some serious butt!

10/14/2007 12:17 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Mana - There are some strong woman to be able to watch in my family. I love seeing it in my daughter.

10/14/2007 12:19 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Ashley, your daughter must take after her talented mother.  That was really awesome!!  Kids can just blow your mind.  I think this is a lovely tribute and I'm glad I got a chance to check it out!  FABULOUS!!

10/14/2007 03:29 PM by Huntsville Alabama Real Estate Agent, Kimberly Grant (Exit Leon Crawford Realty)


Ashley-- tell your daughter that I loved the video.  I also love Twisted Sister, because, you know-- I was, like, in 5th grade when that song was a hit.  I had a Sony Walkman.  Ha!

Thanks!

Karen  -  Glad you enjoyed it! I loved all the heavy metal bands of the early 80's.

10/14/2007 11:16 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Thesa - I do. I am at a higher risk because my mother was premenopausal and I been having regular exam and mammograms since my early 20's. My doctors have been on top it for years. Now I have to start being concerned about my daughters (17 and 12) as well.

10/14/2007 11:22 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Ashley - Nicely done post and video.  Thanks for including it in the group!  Your daughter is talented.  I also love that song!

10/15/2007 02:04 AM by Jason Crouch, Broker - Austin Texas Real Estate (Austin Texas Homes, LLC)


Wow!!  Please tell Natty I'm touched!  She's only 12?  Wow!!  Double WOW!! 

Very nicely done...you can both add to this later when you feel compelled.  This definitely hits home.  My maternal Grandmother had it...and SURVIVED!!  :-)

Your daughter seems to get her great computer skills from her Mother. 

10/15/2007 11:14 AM by Rey Gallegos Home Loan Consultant Las Vegas, NV (A Mortgage Bank)


Ashley- My heart goes out to you and your family. What a struggle and what amazing women to go through all of this. You have a great daughter. Give her a hug for me. Katerina

10/16/2007 01:50 AM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Susie - the first time I saw her video I just have tears running down my face.

10/17/2007 03:42 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Katerina - Thank you! I am amazed at her video myself.

10/17/2007 03:44 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Ashley,

Your daughter is very creative.  I am sorry to hear that cancer runs so strongly in your family.  It is amazing that they were all successful in their fight against cancer - they must have been very strong women. 

10/17/2007 05:26 PM by Rita Taylor | Sanford NC Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Sanford North Carolina (Strother Real Estate)


Rita - Her videos are getting better with each one! I never thought about how truly devastating cancer can be as I was growing up with these successful fights. Only as I got older did I see how they can really be.

10/19/2007 02:35 AM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


Ashley~ what an amazing, caring, talented daughter you have (I bet she takes after MOM!)  That a great tribute you put together for you family.  By the way you have a strong resemblence to the lady on the top left, Alice? I think.

10/24/2007 04:17 PM by Lisa Ryan~Selling Princeton,West Windsor and Montgomery Township New Jersey (Prudential NJ Properties)


Awesome video Ashley!  I too, have it in my family, and it means that we all have to be very careful.  The way to survive it is to catch it early.  All the determination in the world won't help anything except your attitude if it is late and aggressive. 

11/10/2007 09:04 AM by Summit County, Colorado Realtor l Joanne Hanson (Coldwell Banker Colorado Rockies Real Estate)


Ashley, WOW, what a great production your daughter did!  1 in 8 really makes you think!  How many people will we know in our lifetimes that get breast cancer?  How can we stop it?

11/28/2007 08:45 PM by Chris Tesch College Station, Texas Real Estate (RE/MAX Bryan College Station)


Ashley, you daughter Natty did an awesome job! It is all about awareness! How very, very cool! Please tell her that she rocks! And so must her Mom :.)

 

12/07/2007 10:41 PM by Brentwood TN Real Estate/Homes - Vanessa Stalets REALTOR® (RE/MAX Elite)


Ashley,

Hope all is well with you. (haven't seen a post from you for awhile) Guess that's a good thing because it probably means you are busy! My mom battled Breast cancer also. It's a very scary thing to go through. Great video and you are sooo lucky to have a daughter like that:)
