She (Five Minute Friday)

It's Friday. Where we pause, follow the prompt, and pour out our thoughts onto the screen for 5 minutes. A whole bunch of us. It's easy. It's fun. It's soul-nourishing. Won't you join in?

1. Set your timer for 5 minutes. Write about the prompt, no editing, no backtracking. Just write.
2. Link up over here.
3. Take a minute. Read the postings of the folks before you, and leave them a little encouragement. It's the best part of Five Minute Friday. Give someone else a boost on a Friday. Share with the community. You'll be glad you did.

SHE

She's a knitter. She's a writer. She's a dresswearer.

She's a mom. She's a classmate. She's a friend. She's a neighbor; a teacher; a stranger. She's a soldier, a sister, a daughter.

She's a single mom. She's a grandma. She's a brave fighter. She's an inner city girl, or a suburban girl, or a country girl. She's a Southern belle. She's a Jersey girl. She's my best friend's mother. And mother in law. And my aunt.

She's anyone, really. She's why I walk.

Breast cancer doesn;t distinguish. Doesn't play favorites. Strikes someone new every 3 minutes. She was an Army wife.

So, with me, and two little girls in my home, I dream of a day when the statistics change. When we've found a cure. When I can go to sleep knowing it's on it's way out.

Until then, she's the reason I walk.


STOP.


PS  I don't normally link the walk here, other than to talk about it. But if you want to support the cause, here's my link.
