relay for life

Meet my 92 year-old mother, Iris. She is a cancer survivor. Her's was not breast cancer. The beauty of her name embodies the beauty of her spirit. The warmth of her heart has won her many friendships in life. The strength and determination she showed during her battle with cancer is the same force that has guided her throughout life. Her teachings as a mother, although often subtle, have had a lasting impact on how I look at life. I'm thankful for each day her smile warms the morning. As my biggest fan, she follows my postings on flickr which we often talk about in our telephone calls.

 

So Mom, when you see this, know how much all your children love you and how blessed we are to have your influence of wisdom in life. We shall continue to celebrate life together. Love you!
