With all of our energies focused toward mom these last few days, the hours pass in a rush or not at all. Even though we haven't responded to all your love and thoughts please please know that they're getting through. Every card and email elicits a laugh or a cry or a smile or a good thought in all of us here. (Fyi, we're working on getting the Zumba video from Meg.) -n
Dear, dear Diane, You are the trailblazer for your family, and oh what a class act you are. the love that surrounds you, full of all sorts of emotion seems to be the purest of all love. You know there are so many that care about you not only in this struggle, but also in the more mundane(?) struggles as a writer and artist. Remembering the terrific times at the conferences where we were always trying to boost each other up. We all know that those people that critiqued us harshly were the gems that made us better. YOur bravery is a model for all of us, and just know that your spirit (and of course your smile) is on high beam and truly glowing. I also send love to your family with oodles of comfort attached. Much love dear friend.....Charlene PS Soak up the smells and beauty that surrounds you, as springtime is a time is truly a time of hope.

I love this photo! What a great card.
Thank-you to your family, for catching these moments and sharing them with us.
