Breast Cancer Ribbons . . .

One of my best friends, Bob,

is a cancer survivor.

He had breast cancer and underwent

treatment and was cured.

My other best friend, Donna,

decided to stitch

enough ornaments to fill a

Christmas tree

and auction it off at

Thanksgiving by way of a raffle.

She has had a lot of help in this undertaking

and there are very many

beautiful ornaments up

for auction.

So l . . .

stitched some ornaments in

memory of some of my loved ones.

Bob is one of those people. He is now

81 years young and is very dear to me.

And thank God he survived ~ many don't.

My Aunt Maribel also had breast cancer

and she lived for some years cancer free

after her different forms of treatment.

Then she didn't return to the doctor

after she was cancer free

until it was too late.

The cancer came back and got into

her bones and before she died it

had spread all over her body.

She had many broken bones

because her marrow was so porous.

She even had her arm broken once from the blood

pressure cuff.

She was a Bible scholar and she knew anything

about the Bible you would care to ask her.

She has been greatly missed.

My cousin also had breast cancer. When she died

she was only 56.

She also did not go back for her check ups

after she was cancer free until it was

too late.

So to honor her I made this Breast Cancer Ribbon.

I plan to make them into ornaments. They will

be backed with a floral for my

Aunt and cousin

and a swirl, for Bob.

Then a ribbon will be added around

the piece. I will also put a little hanging ribbon.

I will post pictures when they are finished.

Tonight I found out that my x brother-in-law has

pancreatic cancer.

After the biopsy is studied they will know more.

What stage it is, if it has spread and what

kind of tumor he has in the pancreas.

He is very frightened so all your prayers

would be appreciated.

I will keep you posted on his progress. He is very

dear to me and I can't believe this is happening

to him. He is a funny guy. I have know him

for about 42 years.

If you are interested in participating in the raffle

just leave a comment and I will give you the info.

Thank you for visiting and leaving your comments.

Take care and God Bless ~
