Mother’s Gifts

“Our mothers give us so many gifts. They give us the precious gift of life, of course, but they also leave treasured lessons that can guide us along our journeys even when they are no longer with us.”

~ Maria Shriver

Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms!!!

Seventeen

“The beginning of wisdom, as they say. When you’re seventeen you know everything. When you’re twenty-seven if you still know everything you’re still seventeen.”

~ Ray Bradbury

Seventeen years ago I was blessed to have received the heart of a hero. Benny Keith Ward will ALWAYS be my hero.

Seventeen years! A heart transplant! What a journey it has been.

Seventeen year journey has been about people. Those that have deeply touched my soul. All the medical professionals, family members and friends have made this a truly amazing ride. Benny Keith and his family have touched my life forever!

Thankful for each and every day, no matter what the number might be!

God is in control!

Change is Certain

“Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.”

~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
