I am not sure where you are getting your information, but great topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more. Thanks for great info I was looking for this information for my mission.

I was directed to your post by way of Facebook – and I am glad to have found it.

Your words are inspiring and they really hit home. I am a Cancer Caregiver, and was my loved one’s primary caregiver during her 9-year battle with Breast Cancer.

A huge part of caregiver (in my opinion) is learning how to spend time together, and not focus on the disease. Focusing on the joy and simple beauty can sometimes be forgotten.

This is definitely something caregivers and their loved ones could do together – I plan on recommending this to others.

Thank you.

That is a great story. A lady near my home gave me many one year, 6 years after my diagnosis and treatment. Love Canna Lillies. Unfortunately only 3 survived and I planted those. However after reading your story I am going to buy some this spring and start the ritual myself. Thank you for sharing. I am a 9 year survivor of breast cancer and I try to live each day to it’s fullest. Again, thanks.

Reading your story early this morning, I’m deeply moved. I am also a nine year survivor of breast cancer, although metastatic immediately. I plant canna lilly bulbs every year, and I bought mine the day after my first chemo at a swap meet in my community in Montreal. I had totally forgotten this coincidence. The tears rolling down my cheeks this morning, were tears of joy, that I am still here enjoying every spring, planting those canna lilly bulbs. Thanks for the reminder.
