Anne, you made a terrific choice for this week's queen......Congratulatoins, Connie Jo!!! You are very deserving to wear this crown of honor!!! I"m so happy for you!
September is a hard time of the year for me as that was the month that my middle son was in a car accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury. I felt your pain as I read your story for your card and I totally related to you. So many of us at SCS have had children who's lives have been threatened. BUT, PRAISE THE LORD that your son, and my son, are alive!!! Like you said in your card description......GOD IS GOOD!!!!
Connie Jo, here is a bouquet of flowers for you, from a mom who knows the depth of pain for her child's injuries, but also knows the elation and joy of her child living. Our children are so very precious, no matter how old!!!!! God bless you and your family!!!!

Lesley, this is beautiful and your story is so sad. I am so glad your son lived as I am about Connie Jo's. One of my sons was in a couple terrible accidents. Thankfully, he is o.k. I love your gorgeous card!

Beautiful card, and a lovely tribute to Connie. You've really hit on what makes the sisterhood on SplitCoast so special... the sharing of not only artistic talents, but of joys and sorrows, pleasures and pain.
