A week ago today the mail started coming. The email poured in, the doorbell rang heralding deliveries from afar. A community of friends praying and calling others to pray surrounded me. I am honestly speechless...
I will tell you more about the 'what' in April when the month for Breast Cancer Awareness comes around. Let's just say, I have been through this 'two-fer' deal at age 29 so imagine my shock to find a lump where none was expected. This adorable Scrabble vignette (and so many other goodies) arrived from Kim K, the Musing Mama.
These beautiful multicolored tulips came from my "California Girl", Chris at Perfectly Printed, there are THREE DOZEN of them! This vase is in my bedroom, another graced the dining room. Can you say Shock and Awe? Whodda thunk I'd get flowers from Imaginary Friends? Not me!
I made this Santa wall hanging last Christmas, I really am CHECKING IT TWICE. Because there was more. More pix next post, I know that you are all jealous seeing this much! I have never received so great an outpouring of love, support and friendship as in the last week!
Renee over at My Vintage Mending sent this Little Golden Book for my collection. It's one I had NEVER seen before! Super sweet in this display with the 'Nativity Play' characters! Diversions from all over the country just kept coming in the mail...
I am SO grateful, mostly for your prayers and support in a tough time, but also for the OUTPOURING of friendship gifts and positive reinforcement. The lump was BENIGN. I am BLESSED AMONG WOMEN and like Mary, the mother of Jesus, I will treasure all of these things in my heart for a very long time.
Your Imaginary Friend,
Tammy
Your imaginary friends love you dearly. I can't think of a better gift than to read the words benign. Continued blessings, dear Tammy.

ReplyDeleteDear Tammy, I am so glad to hear that you are okay. My boss's wife recently had a lumpectomy for a small cancerous tumor. She is now doing 45 days of localized radiation and is doing well. He was literally a zombie for nearly a month when they first found out. Sending warm wishes and hugs your way, Tammy
ReplyDeletePraising Jesus for your health!
ReplyDeleteYour decor is completely and utterly enchanting!
You are such a clever and creative elf.
Have a holly jolly day!
I guess I have been away from blogging for awhile, because I missed the post about the lump. But I am so glad to hear your good news. You are truly blessed to have had such an outpouring of love.
