Blowing Bubbles

April 2011 at  MUSC.  I can’t get this image out of my mind.  I’ve never posted it, yet it is burned into my memory and holds such significance now.

Mary Clare found happiness amidst pain and looked beyond the immediate.  She is what keeps me going.

As MC has proven over and over, nothing is permanent! There is a silver lining is everything…might be hard to see today but it will be clear tomorrow! Hugs to you today and everyday…

I’m not sure now where I found your blog but was drawn to it because of a similar medical situation with my dear niece. At about your age, she discovered a problem in her breast which was diagnosed as cancer. It was the first cancer in our family and we were in shock. She had two very young daughters at the time. She went through surgery and some hellacious treatment, taking a year off from work. That was over five years ago and, thankfully, she is cancer free and back to work as a successful surgeon and enjoying life with her growing girls and husband. I hope the same will be true for you.

Best,
Bonnie

And now, we have an idea of why God chose you and Mel to be MC’s parents. Thank you for posting that picture. Loving and praying, Judy
