My entry is not for my mom, but for a mom and friend of mine who deserves something special for herself.
Abigail suffered a grand mal seizure at work two years ago and has since dealt with countless medical appointments, memory loss, sensory loss, and constant headaches – all while raising four young boys. Since Abigail is now unable to work fulltime, her husband took on more hours at his job, leaving her to shuttle the boys from sports practices to dentist appointments to school events on her own.
However, despite her medical issues (her neurologists never did find a cause for the seizure and have not ruled out the possibility of it occurring again), Abigail is one of the most upbeat people I know. She always makes herself available to help out other people – most recently, she’s been driving an hour every day to help her pregnant sister pack for an upcoming move. She’s thirsty for knowledge and works on puzzles and word games daily to help improve her memory. She reads voraciously in search of food ingredients that might help spark her taste buds to regain sensitivity.
The boys have been great, too – they understand that Mom’s brain is no longer wired to remember to sign their permission slips and pack lunches without several reminders from them. Only once have I seen Abigail break down and cry over feeling insufficient in terms of parenting, but I know that she’d give anything to regain her short-term memory capacity, if only so that she could expand on her service to others.
If anyone deserves a Total Mom Rejuvenation, it’s Abigail, and I am honored both to be her friend and to share her story.

I expect that there are many deserving women who would easily qualify for such a nice gesture as this, but based on the experience I have had, it is hard to imagine that anyone deserves it more…
Please consider making this special opportunity available to such a wonderful and deserving woman.

I’m so moved by Janie’s compassion and her desire to give a sense of femininity
and optimism back to other women stricken by cancer. That she has continued to do so as a widow, who is still suffering from losing her beloved mate, marks her as a truly special woman, deserving of every little bit of pampering she can get. I’m also touched by her daughter’s devotion to her brave and spirited mother.
Janie and Abbie are wonderful! They always think of the little things to make me and everyone else feel better. I vote Janie!
