Buttons

Last night I had a dream about buttons. Every colour. Every size. Every shape.

When I woke up I could see all of the buttons so clearly and wondered what they represented in my subconscious. Then my mind drifted to all of the women around the world who will be coming to Hamilton next year for the World Conference on Breast Cancer.

We are like the buttons. We come in every variety. The factor that makes us most like the button is we often hold our families and communities together. When we get sick, we are like the button, whose thread has come loose and we need someone to help us get through.
