oh my gosh - a great big HUG!
I could hardly believe it!
My family and I were just eating dinner, and the doorbell rang and my son and I went to answer the door and there was just a box, presumably left by the UPS guy. I saw it was from Debbi in SoCal. We had been trying to meet up, but our schedules weren't cooperating. Anyway, my first thought was SQUISHY? Cool! But the box seemed a little big for a squishy! So, I opened it up, and out came a B-E-A-yutiful HUG quilt! I am speechless, amazed, dumbfounded! It is just gorgeous, and I can't believe it -- what an amazing group this is! I have been feeling so out of it - haven't been keeping up with the group that much, and just trying to get life back to semi-normal. But this gift just touches my heart! I want you all to know that I am truely thankful, both for the HUG and for all your support through my diagnosis and treatment! I can hardly believe that all this has happened to me in the past year. My one year "cancerversary" is coming up in May, if you can believe that. I feel so lucky to have had the support of friends like you, near and far. My littlest son and I have been OOHing and AAHing and pouring over the blocks trying to pick our favorite ones. But there are NO favorites to be had - they are all so special! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! Peace and blessings to you all! Ann P.S. And, here's just a little gentle reminder - don't forget that other kind of SQUISH that you need to get regularly from your doctor! It takes all three - mammogram (a.k.a the big SQUISH) + BSE + annual breast examination by a doctor - to really be sufficiently monitoring for breast cancer! |

Do we get to see pix? And thanks for the reminder! I'm very conscious of it at the moment, as one friend has just finished her 5 year course of Tamoxifen, an aunt had this disease, and my near neighbour has just has a recurrence after two years... -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Ann,
If we couldn't get it to you in person, I'm glad The Truck was willing to help out! And should be easy to pick out a favorite block -- just look for one that has purple and green in it :-) Here's hoping the next year will be a better one for you. -- Louise in Iowa nieland4 at mchsi dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa "Ann Adamson" wrote in message ...

Hullo Ann
I'm so glad it reached you safely. I hope it will be a harbinger of good health for you from now on. This must have been a dreadful year. Now you have something to soften the memories, and help you to look ahead positively. So, although you might not have been here with us, we were with you in spirit - working away at your Hug, most in our own small way but some in a much larger way of course. As Butterfly said, hope it keeps you grinning for many a moon. .. In article , Ann Adamson writes I could hardly believe it!
