May sound like a commercial, but hey...whatever.

So, tomorrow…

I have to go have this “procedure” done.

When I was 14…I didn’t understand what was happening in the world around me or right next to me. It just happened to me.

When I was a teenager, I hated myself and was really irresponsible with my life. I didn’t mean it. I wasn’t a bad kid. Just stuck in a rut in my own mind. Scared. Sad. Depressed.

Anyway…I have to have this procedure done because of my life 20 years ago.

Mothers…vaccinate your daughters against HPV.

Mothers…your daughters don’t always mean to make the decisions they do.

Mothers…you may raise your daughters “better than that,” but there are other factors you cannot control.

Fathers…you want to be there, but you aren’t always.

If something can protect your daughter’s piece of mind in the future so she doesn’t have to worry about cervical cancer for the rest of her life…protect your daughter…especially because she means to protect herself, but can’t always.
