Nope. Not giving up on you sweet Michele. I know how health issues can impact a family. Prayers for you all. You're in my thoughts. This is a lovely card. That background is wonderful and the greens for the leaves and the 'peace' are the perfect compliment. It's beautiful. Hugs, darlin'. Bev

With so many hugs that have come your way, I'm renaming you 'Squishy' for now. Hugs leave their tell tale imprint, you know 🙂
I'll add mine in for an extra 'squish' for you and I hope that no matter what the outcome, you and those you love will all know that 'peace' you've put on your card for today.
Thinking of you... x

He is surrounded by love from all his family and we will continue to include you and your family in our prayers.
