You could call it a ribbon of inspiration, but Marion Lussier calls it a true labor of love.

This beautiful garden of pink impatiens was planted in the shape of a pink ribbon in the Lussier's backyard in Lincoln.

Marion's husband, Armand, planted them to help her with the hardest journey of her life, her fight against breast cancer.

Marion was diagnosed a year-and-a-half ago, and after nine months of chemo and four months of radiation, depression set in.

Then, Armand had an idea.

"My husband decided to get me on a different level of happiness and he designed this beautiful cancer ribbon for me. He planted all these flowers and said here's your private oasis."

Armand planted the flowers in May and by June, the ribbon was in full bloom.He says he'll do it every year.

We're happy to report that Marion is cancer free.
