Blood Colors and Tears Red roses in the dead of winter. Hard to find, a costly extravagance. Cancer… Changes the price of the moment, and the very value of our existence.

Stand strong friend. It is hard to watch. I have seen it far and close, but the victims of its passing...ripple out to all those around them... Hugs for your day. Bright flowers... Ann
