Happy Holiday Weekend!
I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter, and to those of you who do not celebrate Easter, have a wonderful Spring weekend!
Here is a photo that Cooper took of me last Summer (during the climax of my chemo) of me wearing a hydrangea "crown" he made for me. I need to update my signature photo, as I look nothing like either of them anymore! LOL
Hugs, blessed thoughts, and take care!

Happy Easter to you, too, Krista, and everyone else on this board who happens to celebrate this special day. I love the hydrangea crown picture--you look so happy and radiant. Even though we still have snow and cold here in Ohio, I know that Spring is here and that means sunny days and daffodils are just around the corner...my favorite time of year. Love and peace to all my bc sisters (and brothers like Joe and Bill and Mel and Eric, who hate this disease as much as we do and contribute so much to this board). Hope you get to spend the holidays with those you love.
