THANK YOU Sheri,

for holding my hand in the hospital during a difficult time in the hospital, the way you stayed by my side, when i was in pain, scared, and struggling. you held my hand, and you prayed. i felt that you would have taken that upon yourself if you could have. i felt so vulnerable, it was awful. but with you there, i endured the pain, and i felt some comfort and relief. thank you for being so amazing. i love you, and i am STILL enjoying my flowers!

Thank you Clarissa, Samuel, and Jeremy,

for gathering all the dandelions

and bringing them to me on mother's day.

beautiful flowers that bring me comfort, SMILES, and sunshine.
