Draw Me Like an Angel

Every life has challenges. The path of every journey has rough patches. It isn't the crises' we face that define our lives nor our possession or lack of an amazing physical appearance that defines us. We are defined by our spirit.

T. add to a bountiful life lived in the moment. There is no perfect path to a bountiful existence. We can benefit from the tools we are provided but we must choose to use them at any given moment. With an awareness of the tools in our box, choosing to act comes easier. When a sweet and youthful girl, also suffering the slings and arrows of cancer, asked Kelly, not to be drawn to "look" as an angel might but to draw her "like" an angel, Kel
