Mini Purple Pansies

I met someone today who was given three months to live as a result of her third bout with cancer. She told me of her faith journey, her failed marriage and her trip last month on a Hawaii cruise celebrating her 20th anniversary with her second husband who cares for her and loves her. She has a pleasant and relaxed demeanor, almost as if nothing could bother her. She enjoys life because that death sentence was given to her eight years ago. We are all living on 'bonus' time. We just don't acknowledge it like she had to.
