Pink Carnations:By The River

A story on how I came up with the title for this tut:
Yesterday,while listening to the radio,a woman had written in to request Garth Brooks song"By The River".

She lives in Canada,a 11 year surviour,and she is part of a group of woman that formed a breast cancer surviours support group,their name fails me at the moment.

But once a year,they take pink carnations to the river,throw them in and say prayers for their battle with this horrid disease,their prayers for lost friends,their praise of beating it and their graditude to all the love&support they recieve from all over the world.

So I decided to pay tribute to them,and all women,and families,that have been effected by this disease. May peace and health be with you all,keep fighting.

Hugs Mary
