23rd Aug Goodbye Wonder Women

I cant remember when I started reading blogs from wonder women dot com. 3 particular wonder woman caught my attention most and I have been following their blogs ever since then.
3 of them had one thing in common - cancer.

Molly Lee - founder of we are wonder woman website



Molly Lee was a three-time cancer sufferer who set up WeAreWonderWomen.com to support other young women going through cancer. Molly passed away on 29 May 2008, after being named the Singapore Woman of the Year by MediaCorp.
Her husband, Josef is still running the website for her and recently started the Molly Lee appeal to raise funds for woman who may face difficulties in paying for the cancer treatments.

Shin Na



Shin was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in December 2005. In February 2008, her cancer had spread to her brain, liver, lungs, and bones. She lived in Singapore with her husband Tony, daughter Josie and son Toby.

Shin is just amazing. she writes very well and was one mother with strong fighting spirit. She gave her all to her 2 beautiful children and shared with us her journey battling cancer. She lived every day to the fullest and spent her every day as a wonderful mummy to both Josie and Toby. Even after she is gone, she donated her organs and her body for research and educational purpose. I blogged about her demised, back in Jan this year. It is just amazing how she prepared the kids to face her death.

Fleur (Flora)



Flora was diagnosed with Stage4 of Metastatic Breast Cancer, which means the cancer cells have spread to her liver and her bones. In August 06, she was found to have multiple spots in her liver, with the biggest tumor at 5.7cm. August 2008, tumors in her liver relapsed.

Flora shared alot on her fight with cancer and how cancer changed her life in general and even her marriage life. Despite her condition, she still remains cheerful and positive about life. I always feel a sense of joy communicating with her.
She went home to be with our Lord this morning at 530am.

3 of them taught me alot about life, a side of life, which not every one will experience. They taught me how to be a better mother, a better wife and a better friend. Till we meet again, wonder women!
