~ Worldwide Cancer Support ~ (& a GIVEAWAY)



Relay for Life from right Aya, her dog Kai, Kyoko and Miyuki. We are very good friends and supporting each other. This dog is volunteering as a therapy dog. He is very cute.

In Japan purple scarves are worn representing cancer survivors.

Miyuki is a wonderful friend of many years, who comes to visit occasionally. She has her own antique shop in Japan. We are so blessed with her friendship, she is like family ... & so deeply grateful she has survived this disease.

He & Me love you forever.

  1. So happy that your friend is a breast cancer survivor. Our daughter is also.

    Not happy that anyone had it. Simply happy, that they survived.

  2. Hey I made it in today. Life is good. Maybe I needed the cancer reminder and God knew it. I know so many survivors and one really close to home. I pray for my BIL daily as he had lung cancer and is living by a thread. But then we all are.

  3. Praising GOD that your friend is doing well. I, too have therapy dogs that I take into the hospitals and nursing homes. It is truly a blessings to watch them work.
    My brother in law was just diagnosed 2 days ago with lymphoma. They are still running many tests to determine the stage and prognosis. Please keep him in your prayers.
    Blessings, andrea

  5. What a wonderful tribute post today. Yeah it is nice to hear of survivors. I hope this day finds you well. And I wish you a wonderful weekend. Yeah mom and dad are coming home tommorrow. The trucks water pump went out and they are spending the day fixing that so hopefully they make it home safely. It's better that it broke before they got out on the highway though.

    Blessings,

  11. I like to think of cancer survivors as even more than that - they are overcomers!!

    First time to your blog, spent lots of time reviewing past posts and so enjoyed all your photos, pretty new bathroom decoration and all your great quotes on the sidebar. Don't want to miss a thing so I signed up as your follower.

    Come see me when you have a moment.

  14. So nice your friend is a survivor. I too have a good friend who is. It is indeed a blessing. Am curious, why purple scarves in Japan; instead of the traditional pink?

  15. Lovely post Marydon, it is so good to hear happy stories. I am sad to think of how many lives could be saved if the big drug companies did it for love not profit.
    In the meantime we all need to do our parts!!!
    thank you,

  17. Gosh, I know it wasn't meant to be thisaway but when I started reading your post, I started to cry...then read the sorrow happened four years ago. The new church is beautiful and I'm happy the Phoenix has risen again...so to speak. So glad your friend is well.
    What a post! WHEW!
