My mom... and "Grandma" to our kids and for that matter... hundreds of kids from all over the country and around the world.

I just received word that my cousin, LeRoy's wife passed away from cancer. She was only 68 years old... Just like my mom. Had "beat" breast cancer years before... just like my mom. And then the cancer came back... just like my mom.

I am not going to get on any soapbox... or share the pain and anxiety that comes with that dreaded disease... I don't wear pink... or tell you....

I just want to say... Don't "spare" the love when it comes to your family. Count everyday a blessing... whether in sickness or health...

And thank God continually for those that He has given to you as family.

...Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. James 4:14

Vicky (Voreta)Rae Reinhold... A life well lived. To God be the Glory.

An added note... I love this photo of Mom and her beloved Smokey.
