This challenge is close to my heart. I have lost two very dear friends to breast cancer. They were both quite young. Thanks for the challenge. ( If anyone has a friend battling cancer, I would be happy to mail them my card.)

Oh, Kathy, this is beautiful, and I am so very sorry for the loss of two dear friends at such a young age. Breast cancer is terrible, and it's especially hard when it hits someone so very young. I lost my mom to breast cancer, and she was only 67, which was far too young. This will surely be a great encouragement for someone in the midst of their battle!! Tender hugs, sweet friend! xoxo

Kathy, your choice of the Dickenson quote is perfect for this challenge. And I adore your think pink Crazy bird with the goo-goo eyes.
Whoever receives this generous card will find comfort and humor...good medicine!

Oh my, Kathy - your bird is just the sweetest with her little ribbon of hope pinned to her breast and that little ribbon in her topknot. It's harder to see younger women dying. When I was in my twenties we had a friend stay with us after surgery and during her chemo and radio as she was always very ill for a couple of days after. She made a good recovery but tragically died of secondary cancer just a few months after her second daughter was born :-(. I still miss her and think of her often.

What a fantastic card this is to make and send to someone dealing with cancer. This quote is so inspiring and uplifting and this delightful crazy bird just makes me smile. My heart goes out to you losing 2 friends who were young to breast cancer. It seems so unfair and is hard to comprehend when we are younger. Hugs my friend! ~Karen.

What a great sentiment and I am sorry for the loss of your friends. I have lost several family members to cancer and it is so heartbreaking when I hear another has cancer with the number of family members I have lost. Hugs friend.
