Gots Ya A CArd!!!

Hippie Love!!
Good evening!! Who says that your title has to be correct..Well it has been a bit since I posted a card..Well I have been coloring but no time to post...I had the wonderful experience of going to a Tim Horton's Camp on a school trip.  Man oh Man what an amazing experience...Lets just say the lessons learned are well worth buying an extra coffee each day to help support these amazing camps...Now I have to tell you ladies a story...I have a friend who lost her husband nine months ago to a tragic car accident to then make progress to be knocked down by a legal matter...just when the water started to settle she calls me to tell me she has found a lump in her breast...Lets just say when I get off the phone I walk out of my craft room go upstairs get my coat get in my card and I drive thinking to myself..(sorry if I offend anyone I do not mean to) are you f*&king kidding me...I pull over on the side of the road I look up into the sky and say what are you doing do you not believe on giving someone a chance..,Well nothing happened except that it started to rain...So on Monday she had a breast removed...Today I go out to see her and before I leave she asks me if I can give her a hand washing before her nurse comes..Yes I def can do this for her...Then we proceed to wash her hair and she tells me that is the best she has felt in a while as we turn to the mirror so she can dry her hair I am chatting away I look up to see a tear roll down her cheek... I lift my head and she looks at me and says how does this work Kerri...Now usually I am not at a lost for words but being unsure what to say..I say  Well you won't fall over or tip sideways...now this is one of those times as it is coming out I am think oh man is that what you just said...My friend looked at me and bursted into laughter she laughed so hard I had to get her a pillow...When we were all done and she was dressed and I was heading out she told me one of the reasons that she loves me so much is my outlook on life...I guess what I am trying to say is who is to say what is right and what is wrong.. I think that if we live our life treating one another the way we want to be treated life will be great..Sometimes the wrong thing just might be the right thing... I want to take my hat off to all of those who are survivors of cancer and to those who stand by the loves they love and support them...Courage, I think is something that we have to learn and relearn all of our lives...Ok done rambling....Yes I do have a card it is a Krista Smith Hippie Love this is one of my favs and I made this one for a special little girl who is turning six on Friday...love to all stay strong, safe and happy
