The votes are in and a winning photo has been chosen

However, now we have to hope that the winning photo REALLY IS the winning photo!

After much debate and a huge helping hand from all of you, a picture was picked to submit for the $500 Summer Fun Photo Contest at 5 Minutes for Mom.  It was a hard choice between the one of Rachael’s goofy smile and Peyton in the sand.  Because several of you mentioned the beach photo that I had color-adjusted to be black and white with pink highlights, I am going to use that photo as my submission.

Even if it doesn’t win, it will always hold a soft spot in my heart for her little bald head shining on that day and how I was so proud that she never let cancer get in the way of having a good time.

So, here is folks, my submission photo.

Thanks so much for helping me choose!

    It is perfect. I don’t know if I could enter after you submitted a picture like that. I’ll vote for you if there is voting.

    WoW! Great photo and great editing. Congrats to your family for making it this far through the loooooong cancer journey. We had a countdown for Ali…and it ended with a party for her OT, birthday and graduation! That was 6 years ago and we haven’t looked back! Wishing the same for you all 🙂

    That photo rocks! It needs to be blown up and framed so you can admire it every day.
