Gerrie has been kind enough to loan me her quiltlet for inspiration and healing. It was made for her when she was facing the challenge of breast cancer last year. When I unwrapped it, I just sat down and cried for a minute, overwhelmed by the love and strength of its message. I'm not sure I have the words to say how much this means to me. Thank you Gerrie from the bottom of my heart.
Wow, it has been a busy week. Still more medical stuff and endless paperwork to prepare for absence from work. I rather naively thought a few days back that it was going to be simple. Everything is fine, there's just a lot more bureaucratic nonsense than I expected. I had to run around town, file this, file that. I'm off to work shortly, my last working day for six weeks.
My neice and her family are in town for two weeks and there will be a big family gathering this weekend. It will be great to be with everyone and fun to see the youngest family members. I can't think of a better way to spend my last day before surgery, which will be Monday, 1pm Pacific time. Thanks for all your prayers and positive energy for healing.

What blessed energy Gerrie has given you by way of the healing quilt. I've placed your name in my prayer jar. In the meantime, enjoy your family to the max!
I will think of you on Monday, Jen. All the best.
You have my prayers and best wishes.
Jen, that is so sweet, I love the support that quilters are so giving of. I'll be thinking of you on Monday. Wishing all the best of health and healing.
What a tremendous gift of love and power. I'm praying for you and know that with your spirit you will do very well.
How wonderfully thoughtful of Gerrie. I think this blogring has created many connections that none of us anticipated. In fact, I remember when Gerrie posted about that quilt when she first received it. Life is a circle...
