She has been suffering agonizing pain, and is now dealing with a beloved family member who is in the hospital dying; but she still found the time and energy to read all of the submissions for the carnival, AND get it posted. I don’t know how she does it, but she is a model for all of us that live with chronic illness and proof that you CAN have a productive life no matter how bad it gets.
