Grateful. #mommawalker #superwoman

A gift I gave my mother.

Goodness, it's been a long time since I last blogged but trust me I have really good reasons for my disappearance.  It's been a whirl-wind/nightmare of a few weeks but now I'm looking ahead and grateful  for so so much especially for my family, friends and life.

To keep a long story short, I needed to fly to NC to be with my mother and family to tend to my mother's cancer treatment. Things didn't go as planned and in a blink of an eye, I almost lost my mother.  It was the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life.  That was a week I never want to repeat EVER.  Even though my family experienced a rough week....good things did prevail.

Had snuggle time with my cat, Blue

Starbucks gave me a good laugh with this one!  Bridgette = Richard

Flowers from Dee Dee--- first day back to work. 

Also, family and friends wrapped my family with love and continues to do so.  I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their love and support.  We couldn't have made it through this without you all. Truly such a blessing and couldn't be more grateful.

I'm especially thankful for the out-pour of love you have given my mother.  

Each day she was reminded of how much you love her by phone calls, cards in the mail, Facebook comments, magazines, flowers, fruit, dinners.

See all the beautiful flowers below!
