Wish there was a Love button 🙂
I know, I came across that and just HAD to share that. It’s beyond wonderful.
MJ
this is a family blog so we are not going to get into that here….
Thank you for the discretion, Coop! 🙂 MJ
Now that’s impressive! 🙂 ~ Sheila
I think so as well! MJ
Beyond fantastic! Looks like fun, too.
Here Here for Dorothy! And yes, makes me want to do that, too 🙂 MJ
So beautiful. So sweet of everyone to make this happen for her. 🙂 Tears are streaming – that song just touches me. (It’s a favorite of my cousin, who’s bedridden in a nursing home, battling cancer…) Of course, the fact that Ellis was my mother’s maiden name just adds to the emotions.
Well if it makes you feel any better, I cry every single time I watch it. Love the song. It’s perfect. So sorry about your cousin, I know it’s been a long battle. I have a good friend just starting hers; tough stuff.
Hugs
MJ
Precious. Thank you for sharing this.
R
You are most welcome; this one just HAD to be shared!
MJ
Way to go! Isn’t this inspirational!
Indeed it is! I smile and cry every time I watch it, and I’ve probably watched it 13 times already!
MJ
So glad her wish was granted!
You and me both! MJ
This brought tears and smiles! Kudos to Dorothy for pursuing her dream in spite of her age and health!
Absolutely! My thoughts exactly 🙂 MJ
