The Breast Cancer Awareness Angel Pin, $3 from Your Way Embroidery is a great way to celebrate the lives of your loved ones who have had breast cancer.
Whitney says:
Cancer in general has affected so many in my circle of friends and also my family. My grandmother and her sister (my great-aunt) both suffered and survived Breast Cancer. My best friend’s mother and grandmother were diagnosed a few years ago with breast cancer within the same month. They too are survivors, and I pray that it remains that way.
I’ve lost two friends to Brain Cancer. One in 2007, and one in 2008.
The biggest influence cancer has had on my life is when I lost my 29 year old Aunt to Leukemia (AML). She and I were only 5 years apart, and we were more like sisters. She left behind a little boy who was only 1 year old. She watched him celebrate his first birthday and died less than a month and a half after that. It was devastating to our family. And it still influences things I do today, 9 years later.
This is why I make the angels and the ribbons. Cancer is devastating in any form. Being Breast Cancer awareness month…I make them in pink.

It seems the older I get the more I know people with cancer.

Gail, that’s such a shame, isn’t it - but it seems that that’s the way it goes.
