Just joined an organization called Send Love Today. I am so grateful to our sweet Michelle (Shellapoo) for introducing me to them. She is a very caring person who thinks of others even though she has her own illness to deal with. Nathan is my chemo buddy for the next 2 months. He is 22 with a very rare brain cancer. I did this card hoping he sees the beacon of hope. I did this one at Kris' house (parkerquilter). She has such great ideas.
Comments appreciated. Thank you for looking.

Oh Ms Connie Jo, this is so wonderful. I'm so glad Michelle put you in touch with this organization. She is, by far, one of the most giving people despite her physical challenges. Beautiful card to soothe the worried, heart of a young 22 yo son! Sweet Connie, your card is wonderful.

This is wonderful Connie Jo. I love the meaning you give to this special card. It is one thing to make a card but to create a card with this special person in mind is one of the greatest things you will ever do. Design teams and star stampers and challenges and all of that don't even compare to what you did here. Super job...Hugs to you for making his path a little brighter.
