Breast Cancer Awareness Quilt News
I just had to let you guys know....
I received a phone call from my friend Alison this afternoon. She has been asked to be a speaker at a Breast Cancer Awareness luncheon on Sunday. She was calling to ask me if I would attend with her - because.... the luncheon is for breast cancer survivors and the people who have supported them through their treatments and recovery. She asked if I would go with her because she felt that I had a profound impact on her recovery and she asked if she could take her quilt, show it and talk about how it came together and the people who participated! OMG - I cried and cried. Like I told her, I can't accept all the responsibility for the healing, support and prayers that went into her quilt - I would have to bring all the kids from school, her friends and all my RCTQ friends along with me! DH reassured me, that I should go and just consider myself the Rep. for the kids and my wonderful RCTQ friends. Ok, fair enough. Anyway, I just had to share this with you all and let you know how good this made me feel that she felt this way about her quilt - and to let you all know that she wants to show you all off at this Breast Cancer Awareness luncheon. Thank you with all my heart for the love, prayers and support you all put into this project. Hugs, Tina |

After the luncheon/Breast Cancer Awareness Quilt News
WOW, all I can say at this moment, is WOW. I hope you all had a good
cry today. A happy cry, for being a strong survivor! A happy cry, for having such wonderful friends and supporters among this group! A happy cry, for the month of October and everything it means to so many women across the world! and maybe a sad cry, for those who were not survivors. I had lunch today with a ballroom FILLED with survivors! and their family, friends and supporters and most of all, my friend Alison Ayres Bell. Who not only is now a two month survivor, but is now an advocate for stem cell research. You can read about her on her husbands web site www.chrisbell.com Alison talked a LOT about her quilt and mentioned all of you here at RCTQ. She talked about how amazing it is to her that when you mention "Breast Cancer" you suddenly realize you have sisters, friends and supporters from across the globe that you have never even met. She was honored and grateful and awed by the love and compassion shown her through her HUG quilt. I can't thank you all enough. All donations of Kleenex, or tissues of any brand, will be gratefully accepted at my address which is in the directory. I will be needing them for days as I still can't quit crying. The luncheon was beautiful, moving and touching and the Waterford crystal trinket box I was gifted with, will hold scraps from her quilt as my own remembrance of Alison's noble fight against breast cancer. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Hugs, Tina |
