This is my card for today's inspiration challenge. This is my story:
1. I made two cards today because I had two sad reasons to. I made this card for a friend of a friend of mine, Charlene (LilLuvsStampin)
2. My story is actually Charlene's story which I am sharing with you here in Charlene's own words:
3. My friend, Berta, whom I have been friends with since we were 3 years old (47 years!!!) was diagnosed with liver cancer in January, and the cancer is in her lungs, ovaries, and bones now. We've actually been surprised that she has hung on this long. Her only wish now is to see her 50th birthday this December 23rd. She's so close, but the doctors have told her to prepare for the end. It's so terribly sad. She has been amazingly positive throughout this whole ordeal and has found faith and strength in God. I just can't believe this is happening to her. I know it's life and no one is guaranteed tomorrow but I guess you never really expect it to hit so close to home.
4. If you would like to send Charlene's friend Roberta a card please pm Charlene or me and we will happily provide you with an address!
Thanks artystamper for the images!
