This is beautiful Lexie. I've been thinking about you a lot this week. I hope you are all doing ok.
What a beautiful way to express yourself, Lexie! Cancer takes away but I love how you've pointed out what you've learned from cancer as well. You are a woman full of gratitude no matter what life deals you. I love how your Mom instructed you that even if you didn't feel like eating, those grandchildren had to be fed!!
