are always sharing their hopes and dreams. Little girls wish upon a star; they
dream of being a princess and, when they are older, of meeting and marrying
Prince Charming, Mr. Right. Little boys dream of superheroes and later of being
the all-American athlete. Later on we want the dream vacation, the dream house;
we want to live the great American dream.
When
we get older, wisdom that comes through experience has our dreams take a
different shape. So it is for those who have faced the cancer diagnosis — the
patient, the survivor, the caregiver — and the teams of researchers, physicians
and organizations that pursue the cure. For some, the dream becomes a mission,
a purpose in life, a legacy.
In
February, we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Cancer Serenity Garden.
Located in Warner Robins, it is adjacent to the main post office on Russell
Parkway. The garden is the “dream come true” of Judy Mason, owner of Color Me
Pink, and founder of Georgia Cancer Friends, Inc. This garden hopefully offers
a respite for those fighting cancer and for those hoping to find comfort and
healing after the loss of a loved one. Take time to visit the garden. Consider
buying a brick “in honor of” or “in memory of” someone touched by cancer.
Consider a donation to help the dream grow as we hope to add a water fountain
to the garden. Contact Judy at Color Me Pink 478-953-1377 or P.O. Box 9188, Warner Robins, GA 31095.
