The DC Moms are hosting a ”@whymommy love fest” today and this is the image I sent in for her digital card. Want to contribute your own heart? Click HERE for full details (just remember that you only have until the end of the day).
I don’t know Susan well, but I’ve been inspired by her courage, strength, beauty and grace since I found her blog a few years ago. She’s fought long and hard. She shines brightly. And she’s in my heart and my prayers.
Mother to three children (four if you count my husband), keeper of a moderately sane house, admirer of beautiful interiors and fashion that becomes more and more "young" for me, textile junkie and believer in the power of wishing really, really hard. I wage a daily battle against feet on furniture, "outside voices" inside, the ever widening chasm between now and "when I used to work," wrinkles, a lack of personal time, dust and the constant arrows that having a special needs child shoots directly into one's heart. So far dust and wrinkles are winning, but only because even the best of multitaskers have their limits.
Thank you so much for letting us know. I sent one in too.
Even with all she’s faced over these years Susan has never stopped striving meet everything thrown at her with strength, courage and grace, and to be and stay present in the life of her family and all those that care about her. She’s an inspiration to us all, and I’m so very grateful to know her.
I’ve never met her in person; we’ve only tweeted a few times. Every time I think of what I’ve been through in the past year, I think of her…she’s utterly amazing. She’s such a real person and I’m hoping she’s back home very soon…
