Very courageous to want to live one's ultimate moments with a smile, even half a smile...
Wishing you many smiles, Caroline - hopefully as painfree as possible! xox
You are truely a Guru!

Joy Eliz - ha ha... its not me that's the guru...
And Tinker - sorry I thought I'd already replied to your comment - thank you - the pain has been a great lesson... lessening it has been a great challenge... :-)
And Krimo - what is happening here? I thought I'd answered you too...

Poor bird is going to need a chiropractor...
Family...cousins, aunties, siblings, uncles, nieces, nephews.
We all made my dying auntie happy to the end. I hope.
Last year, when my cousin was going through a dreadful divorce, we were all there for her.
oh what a great photo!! That bird is amazing. I have just found creative therapy thru your links - and taken a peek on wings for you...I am going to try and give it a go!
The magpie made me smile... Thanks :)
Anonymous - strange that we are so obstinate as to need pushing so far!
Tony - Well I know a good one...
GG - you are lucky to have such supportive family. My family seems to have become very scattered and not so supportive...
Krisse - its fun isn't it - that's why I borrowed it. I've finally got it together now...
MP - glad you liked it!
