A very well thought out image / creation, John. I recognized the pink ribbon right away as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but also is a good time to schedule an exam if one hasn't done so. Very well done.
There used to be a link on this site where you could click to help fight Breast Cancer, Shads. I can't seem to find it now. I know this one hits close to home for you. Beautiful dedication.
John, as a foreigner your creation is cryptically. See however that, because of the pink ribbon, there's a connection with cancer. Therefore I suppose that it could be about (the) (biography of) Susan Oliver. Cancer is terrible, and I really know where I'm talking about. Hope there will be find a good solution to heal those who are suffering from this terrible disease.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
