Tears and Roses

This is my tribute to breast cancer awareness...in honor of all the people we have lost, all the brave survivors and all the tears we've shed over this terrible disease.
My mother lost her battle (and she did battle for two years) in 1994. She enjoyed life to the fullest until she was too tired to fight. Right now she rests on a hill in northern Michigan, and I know she's loving the autumn colors today.
