I purchased this in memory of my mother who survived many challenges,  beginning at the age of 5 through her senior years;  polio, lupus, heart bypasses and lymphoma. What an inspiration!  After Friday rounds of chemo and sick all week-end, on Monday mornings she'd make herself put her feet on the floor, put on her wig, add a touch of lipstick and rouge on her pale cheeks, then drive off to work. No one knew what she was battling.  She survived against all odds and thrived for 23 more years!  She taught school, sang overseas, and was a writer for a newspaper. Her famous message? "Never, ever give up."  This is a beautiful gift, not only for someone who needs support, or for yourself as a reminder. That's what I did!   (The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because one of the corners was slightly damaged in shipping)
