I received a phone call Thursday from family of a man, I grew up with. After graduating from high school he came to live with us and help my dad farm. Spent many years as part of our family until he met his wife and left to get married. So the news of him having Cancer of the liver, and esophagus, was a complete shock, (he never smoked and drank Very little) and having talked with him at Christmas no one would have ever known he was ill, not even himself. The doctors say 2 to 6 months..starts chemo Monday and after our conversation this AM , we are hoping for a small miracle. Many prayer chains have been started, he is very active in his church and community so many people are very concerned.
My tag will be mailed in the morning. It went together quickly, the Sentiment has a deep meaning.
The Tag itself was made from Tim Holtz Lost and Found paperstack. The sentiment from Heartwarming Vintage "Little Blessings" which I purchased at Crafty Secrets. The rest pretty much from my little treasure boxes of this and that.
I will enter it into the following Challenges:
Joans Gardens Tag Challenge

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your weekend..We will no doubt settle in, it is really snowing and roads are a mess. I can hardly see our neighbors. Can go to church in the morning and just maybe have breakfast out.
