The Star's special Breast Cancer section last Sept. 28 featured a piece by 32-year-old Michelle Hobor. The wife of Durham Region police officer Terry, mother of Nate, then 2, and Noelle, 14 months, died of breast cancer last month. Editor Adam Gutteridge reflects on their brief correspondence and shares her emails.
In this article, there is a Video (an album) tribute to Michelle and played with a song, also a tribute to breast cancer's victims and survivors, performed by Melissa Etheridge... I Run For Life.
I Run For Life
by Melissa Etheridge
It's been years since they told her about it
The darkness her body possessed
And the scars are still there in the mirror
Every day that she gets herself dressed
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
And the fear is now a docile beast,
If you ask her why she is still running,
She'll tell you it makes her complete
I run for hope, I run to feel
I run for the truth for all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run life
It's a blur since they told me about it
How the darkness had taken its toll
And they cut into my skin
And they cut into my body
But they will never get a piece of my soul
And now I'm still learning a lesson
To awake when I hear the call
And if you ask me why I am still running
I'll tell you I run for her soul
I run for hope, I run to feel
I run for the truth for all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run life
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
And someday if they tell you about it
If the darkness knocks on your door
Remember her, remember me
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers, running for more
I run for hope, I run to feel
I run for the truth, for all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run for hope, I run to feel
I run for the truth, for all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your daughter, your wife
For you and me my friend
I run for life
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run for life
