Welcome to my site

A couple of months ago, my lovely friend Joanne Schweitzer was diagnosed with lung mets from breast cancer.  This meant that she was going to undergo her third course of chemotherapy.

A group of us, who have been friends for nearly 5 years through an internet Breast Cancer Support Board, decided that we would show her how loved and supported she is by setting up a schedule of gift-sending throughout her ordeal.  One of us, Rhonda, immediately began sewing her a quilt, with a square for an embroidered personal message for each of us to Joanne.  I began knitting.  I knitted her a hat, and then a small rug.  But somehow it just didn’t feel like it was enough.

“What would I like to receive if I was in her situation?” I thought.  And I kept coming to the same conclusion.  The thing that I would like best to receive would be a visit.  So that’s what i decided to do.

And this is the journal of that visit.... and the visits surrounding it. 

Enjoy.
