My Very Own Christmas Angel


Early in December, I had a surprise visit from my very own Christmas angel. Olivia is the daughter of my friend Beth and they raised money and walked with me on the "Race for the Cure", in October. Her mom called early one morning and said Olivia had a special surprise for me and asked if they could stop by. A little while later, Olivia showed up with an adorable pink bear that she had saved her money to buy for Miss Susie! Olivia made the bear at Build a Bear in the mall, filled her with love, and even dressed her in a pink outfit. Olivia named her Passion because she remembered the name of my team was Pink Ribbon Passion and she has a pink ribbon on the bottom of her foot in support of BC! Olivia was full of smiles and giggles when she gave me the bear and was sure to tell me she put a special heart inside of Passion for me! We exchanged lots of hugs that morning! Thank you Olivia, you're one special little girl!

That is so very sweet! How cool that her Mom is teaching her to save up and give to others!

Hello Susie, I attend Palm Valley and have been following your blog for over the past year. You are a true inspiration in your walk and faith in the Lord through your journey. I wanted to tell you that I recommended your blog to someone who just found out they have breast cancer. I am not sure if she is a Christian, but pray that she will find peace by your words, music and faith! You have such a wonderful support in family and friends! May God continue to bless you as He already has!
