As of April 2, 2012, this blog became the place for documenting our New Adventure called Breast Cancer. Basically it's all about our Cancer ParTay.
As of Oct 2013- our 18 month Survivor mark- the ParTay's pretty much over. Treatments are done, my hair is back and I am healthy & cancer-free!
As of today- I want you to know that the trick to living a happy, healthy and wonderful life in the future is to remember where we've been, what we've learned and how much we've been blessed! That's exactly what I hope you find here.

A Prayer in Each Square

Some of my dear friends recently brought over a very thoughtful gift. They have made the most magnificent Cancer Quilt you've ever seen. All done in pinks & reds (did you know red is my favorite color?), each square contains a heart with a name or a scripture embroidered on it. They have very thoughtfully documented so many of those here in Fargo or those that I have met here that are praying for me in this Adventure. How sweet is that? The nurses and other patients at Chemo are totally gonna be jealous! LOL Thank you so much to the awesome quilting ladies (You are amazing!) and to those whose names are on my quilt. It means so much to me and my family to have such a fabulous group of friends whose extra prayers we can count on. We love you all so much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
The card read: "Sending happy thoughts just for you...  ...today and every day. 'We hope you use this quilt, each heart representing a friend or a scripture, to envelope yourself during your Chemo and remember all the support and prayers coming your way.' With Love, Brooke, Linda and Patty"
PS Our Quilter friend, Betty has been quilting Brooke & my quilts for the last several years. Brooke had called her for suggestions on a quilt design. After the ladies completed the quilt, Betty called and told them to bring it over becuase she wanted to quilt it for me. (for free) How great are people? Thanks Betty! The quilting is beautiful. I love it!
