October is always a special month for me. Besides being my birth month and seven other family members and friends, it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Too many of my friends have gone through this battle. When my sister suffered as well, October became even more special.
Many, many years ago, eight of us women formed a bridge group playing once a month. Of those eight, three have had breast cancer. Statistics state that one in eight women will get breast cancer. We have three in eight. What are the odds!!!! We have talked about this quite a bit and wondered if our environment, job location, water or what was the reason. Probably we will never know.
So, for those women, my sister and all others, here is my latest card.
For the CAS-ual Fridays CFC158 Challenge
- special challenges for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
and Always Playing with Paper challenge The Challenge #80
The weekend is here. Hope the hurricane has passed by.

Oh so pretty and dainty and lovely. Love that pink background! Thanks for playing The Challenge!
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting reading your post Kathy - I think environment and what we consume has a huge impact on cancer statistics. I hope your friends have fully recovered. Your coloured blooms are so pretty - a perfect fit for the theme this month. Thanks for playing along at CAS-ual Fridays!
