Hello and thanks for stopping by. This is going to be hard post for me to write.
Today I am sharing with you a birthday card for my mom. Her birthday isn't for a few more weeks but I had to make it early.
My Mom has been losing her appetite for several weeks now. We just recently found out that she has pancreatic cancer. She was admitted to the hospital. They tried several times to insert a feeding tube, but it didn't work because she has a large hernia blocking it. I'm sure that's part of the reason she stopped eating. She was sent home a few days ago to live out her days.
Alot of the family got together and had her an early birthday party. She opened her eyes for about a minute to see her card. She has always loved receiving my cards. It broke my heart knowing that this will be my last card that I make for her.
I would appreciate if you all could keep my mom and my family in your prayers. The days ahead are going be tough for us.
I had decided not to enter any challenges, but to celebrate my mom and her love of my cards I've decided to enter some.
