CANCER FREE




Simply put... 
I am cancer free

Everyone...
yes YOU 
and YOU 
and YOU


YOU carried

YOU comforted

YOU caressed

YOU cradled

YOU empowered

YOU healed


You gave me the courage to do what I recognized in my gut, heart and head, needed to be done.

Thank you. 

I love you
I love you
I love you


Always,

“When love awakens in your life, in the night of your heart, it is like the dawn breaking within you. Where before there was anonymity, now there is intimacy; where before there was fear, now there is courage; where before in your life there was awkwardness, now there is a rhythm of grace and gracefulness; where before you used to be jagged, now you are elegant and in rhythm with your self. When love awakens in your life, it is like a rebirth, a new beginning. ” 

― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
