Abby’s Dream Walk at a nearby school.  Abby (age 13) was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 years ago…. (yes, that is Booboo Stewart, who plays a werewolf in Twilight movies. He took time out of his busy schedule to participate in the walk)…..

There’s a small park I drive by in town where there is a memorial in memory of Macon's Major Cole Hogan Jr. I have never driven past when there wasn't an American Flag there. Hogan was killed in the attack on the Pentagon in Washington, DC on September 11, 2001. It reminds me to be thankful for the sacrifices so many make daily for all of us.

    What amazing color in those pictures, Susan. They just FLY right off the screen -- so true to life. Wonderful shots, great post -- but how sad to hear of a 13 year old girl with lung cancer. There are so many things we just don't understand, and never will.
