Living on the Skin

Vicky of The Westra World posted a quote on her blog today.
I placed it on one of my photos here...
and I will tack it up on my bulletin board too.
(maybe a tattoo on the forehead?.. as a reminder)


 
 Here is why it's particularly poignant coming from Vicky -
She's just been slammed with a diagnosis that would knock anyone to their knees.
This courageous mother of two young  boys is so gracious, with an open heart.
I am amazed at her strength, her resolve,
her gratitude despite the battle ahead of her.
She's on a mission, and I see someone who's got what it takes to win.

Fight like a girl, Vicky-

  6. Karen- I got sidetracked. I went over and read many of her posts. My heart aches for her and her family. Stage 4 cancer is a huge recovery hill to climb-but I still believe in miracles. Thank you for posting this link. xxoo Diana
