Still blogging for the Breast Cancer Awareness (I do love the homophone part in the logo, though, isn't it witty?). Again only the top part of my outfit today. I thought it would look really good with nothing else but bright pink everywhere. Ah well...
Last year I participated in a charity challenge for breast cancer awareness - I made a bracelet which had to include an element of pink - I made a simple string of wooden beads with a light pink ribbon. It was lovely! It didn't win, obviously, as it wasn't sophisticated enough, but it was the simplicity of the piece that I really liked. I'm sorry I never took a picture of it - I might recreate it one day (the one sent to the challenge was not returned, of course). Perhaps next time I should try something like this:
I do hope that campaigns like these make people more aware of health issues. We never know what awaits us and at which point in our lives. My boy has a friend in his class whose mum is in recovery from breast cancer. She's lost all her hair during the chemo, but it's growing back already - it's completely grey at this point and I love it. Even though grey hair is associated with old age, in her case it's a sign of a new life, hopefully cancer-free!
Her youngest son is only nine, same age as mine. May he be able to hold his mum's hand for years to come...
oh that is a sad and happy story. May we be kept safe.
