A picture of health!

London, Ontario, Canada

Just recently, one of my dear Pbase friends messaged me to ask how my wife, Carole,
was doing and it occurred to me that I haven't given you an update for quite a while…

Well, as you can see, she is doing really well. Physically, she is now in full remission and the last three biopsies have
all shown her blood to be free of leukaemia. And, emotionally, the opportunity to visit our son, daughter-in-law and
first grandchild, in Canada, has made a huge difference to Carole's confidence and overall sense of wellbeing. While
we were there she was able to do all the normal grandmotherly things and that undoubtedly gave her a real boost.

So, we're very thankful! Grateful for prayers answered and also for so much support from friends all over the world.

I have to say that I have never experienced such genuine concern on any other photo web site I have ever tried ~ and
I've tried a few! So thank you, dear Pbase friends, for making this site unique with respect to that dimension of friendship.

I greatly appreciate you all!

A photo can at time be worth a thousand words they say , this is one of those photos.
Her smile and holding the baby fills many pages of words.

Having my granddaughter in remission from Infant A.L.L I can appreciate the joy your both feeling with Carole's progress and I know first hand the touch of the pbase community unity and support and as long as it stays just the way it is I know it will continue to be the extended family of genuine friendship we all enjoy.

What a treasure this image is.
