My three friends and I met as teens living with cancer and started The Sisterhood of the Dropped Stitches knitting group. Five cancer-free years later, we were still meeting weekly.
To celebrate, we each set a goal for the year. Lizabett dreamed of being a dancer, Becca needed an internship, Carly wanted her first pet and I, Marilee Davidson, challenged myself to go on three dates.
That was easier said than done. I hadn't let any man get close to me since my diagnosis. But with the help of my friends, I put myself out there…and learned that sometimes love can be found in the most unexpected of places.
