Celebrating One Year Fighting Lung Cancer!!


Bracelets worn by Madison that we had made for Grammie to celebrate her one year battle with lung cancer. On the inside it reads "In Honor or Grammie" :)

A Poem

People are often unreasonable, illogic and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.
The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Luckily my mother has always done ALL of these things, no matter what people think or say about her. She is the most amazing woman I know! <3
