Cheers

Fantastic pic, great journalling, you have had a tough time, one that we having not been through this would truly appreciate, the loss of a child is incomprehendable to me and i know we never stop worrying, we need to accept more and feel tomorrow will be a better day, TFS :)

Wow Joan. This is so moving for so many reasons....your story is something and the photo is incredible.....unfortunately I can relate some. On Oct 3, 2004 I broke my ankle. On Oct 8, I was raced back to the hospital in an ambulance cause I had near fatal pulmonary embollism in my lungs....from blood clot from the ankle surgery....then on Oct 11, I was told I had cancer. I had a 10 pound, yes, 10 pound tumor in my abdomen known as a liposarcoma. I had to have surgery. I had of course complications and needed 7 blood transfusions......6 week hospital stay and three months of DAILY home nursing; my parents moved in with us to our new home in Virginia to take care of me, my hubby and then 4 year old daughter.....now 2 years later, cancer free.....just go for annual CAT scans......and can stop my coumadin,......and we may be able to have another child(I'm 38)...... I also have a brother in the army.. he was in Afghanistan and then Iraq, but now Hawaii.......I can see the sun for me....I hope you can soon!!!!! Thanks for making this layout. It really has touched me! I hope you're doing better after creating it. It helps to keep getting the STUFF out. I also have a brother who passed away 7 years ago at 28 and my daughter was born on Eddie's birthday.....March 3.......all this stuff hurts a lot at times, but it so makes me who I am and why I scrap....I see EVERYTHING differently....I hope you do too! hugs to your tough month and here comes the sun!
