You know what I hate? CANCER! It doesn't matter a person's age, whether they exercise every day, what their ethnicity, whether they're a nice person or not - it seems nobody is safe from the "C Word".
I have a beautiful friend - the picture of health & fitness who has been diagnosed with lymphoma. The prognosis is good, but she is in for a rough road of chemo & radiation therapy.
So . . . now what? How can I show my love & support? One idea - a quilt.
There wasn't enough time to whip one up, so I called one of my "quilt-a-holic" friends who happened to have several of her hand made lap quilts on hand. I chose the one with the happiest color scheme & ran around to a few of Jackie's closest friends to sign some of the white squares.

The idea is that she can take her lap quilt with her to her treatments - a tangible representation of the warmth & comfort of her friends.
I also created this printable about what Cancer Cannot Do.
{Please feel free to use it - you can print it on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet.}
Do you have neat any ideas about how to support a friend or family member with a serious illness?
