The Garden of Reading

In the spring of 2012 my dear friend received her diagnosis of breast cancer. It was the most distressing event she had ever experienced. It was in the garden of orange flowers, she would read stories that would transport her to a peaceful place that would soothe her soul. It was in the garden she found comfort spending time with her book-club friends sipping herbal tea, laughing and sometimes crying. It was here she learned that friends are like shiny gold gems, each one is rich and there for you in your time of need. It was there she taught her book club friends to embrace the struggle; it will make you stronger, and it won’t last forever. The Garden of Reading—a peaceful place where friendship grows!!!
