you are my hero!

Dear Sheila, your presentation of health challenges is always pointed in the right direction: up and positive.

Your avatar photo made me smile and the photo of the serene bird in the pond was wonderful. You never fail to amaze me with your strength and love of life. I hope you find your new treatment works better than ever - if anyone deserves a miracle, surely it is you!

Love, Donna
