For those who dont know… I have cancer. Ive been pretty open about it on this page when I needed to be but Im not using this as a forum to talk about it because this is not about me. This page is about the kids. But, I am finding it necessary to mention some things right now. One… I have cancer. Two: I just experienced two critical events in the past two months… The last scenario was scary enough that everything stopped with KK because my admins are also my friends and my family. They are my sisters. They were at my side praying for me, caring for me, and encouraging me. Sheila has not left my side in over a month now as Ive transitioned from treatment to hospice. Holly has been here… Nichole has been here. I got to come home, be in my own space and be surrounded with the love of my family. That meant that no one here was really thinking about was in my sewing room at that time. We had a back up plan and Im sure that if things had gone terribly wrong, youd of been told about it. But at that time, our attention was focused on me surviving a very close call. I am not out of the woods by any means. I am unable to walk right now and am working to regain my ability to move and work. That being said, I have gotten tremendous support from the people who are on this page. From those who have purchased the two orders that sold this week so I could finish getting supplies for Aiden, to those who left notes and love. Thank you. There are no words I can come up with to express my gratitude. For those of you who didnt abandon this page but stuck with me, thank you. You are amazing! For the fact that there has been no negative and nothing but understanding from those whose packages were left un-sent in the back of the car or in my office, thank you for understanding! For those of you who gently whispered prayers for a stranger you didnt know but who needed it… thank you. I am humbled by you, I am inspired by you, I am touched by the goodness of all of you out there! I am working hard to catch up on the last of 3 siblings (Christian) so that I can work on a blanket for Kalebs Mom (Kaleb passed away shortly after the monkey we made him arrived… he never woke up to see it but it was there.. and he is forever in my heart!). This is my focus right now… to earn the funds needed to cover the cost for Christians project in time for the holidays at least (please pray for this!) and also for Kalebs Mom, sweet Ronni, who really needs that blanket to hold on to as she endures this time of year without her son…. and then on to the other children who have been on our waiting list since July and August! I know this page doesnt get sponsors and help as easily and quickly as other pages but this page makes me proud. You are all amazing, you are all kind and you are all the reason I have not and will not give up on making these wishes come true for these kids! THANK YOU ALL FOR BELIEVING IN THIS MISSION! Please, even if you cant afford to do anything or you dont want to give or whatever… your prayers are more valuable and important to me! Maybe if you can share what I am selling or have for raffle or even just mention this page it will reach the people who are looking for what we have this holiday season so that we can make these gifts happen. And I, I have finally gotten closer to the end of my pile of catch-up work… after packing extra special notes of gratitude to the parents who patiently waited for my sudden storm to pass and never complained. YOU are true heroes in my world!
