Clea Shearer Instagram – This trip meant so so much to me. It’s hard to put into words. Two years ago, our mom / daughter group had the most incredible time in Paris – and just months later, I received a cancer diagnosis that would change my life forever. The last time I was in Paris was with John, a year ago. And we had received my diagnosis just two days prior. We wandered the streets, and quite honestly, I felt dead inside. I could only picture myself in hospitals, with life altering surgeries and chemo with no end in sight. I cried every day. I remember walking into stores and thinking, “why buy anything? where am I ever going again? I’m fighting for my life – not getting dressed up.” And here we are, exactly two years later. I might look different, I might feel different, but I think I’m even happier than I was in 2021. My gratitude and appreciation for life knows no limits. Moments like this are not taken for granted. And unfortunately for John, I *did* find my way back to shopping 😂 Xo, Clea
