Update on one of the children

A month ago I mentioned that one of the babies I follow might have cancer again after beating it. The biopsy and test results came back fine! She is still CANCER-FREE!!!!!! Praise God!!!!!

a sad sad day

You never realize how much you get attached when knitting for these children. How painful it is when one passes or gets sicker. I rejoice when they get better, but cry when they get worse or pass away.

Baby Mason, the baby that received my first ever knitted teddy bear, passed away a couple of days ago, two days before his first birthday. The teddy bear I made for him was baby blue and baby yellow and according to his momma, he loved it! His photo is posted on the Facebook page if you'd like to see it. I don't want to post it here without her permission and right now she's going through too much and I don't want to bother her.

I will be releasing a red balloon tomorrow at 6pm, the time of his funeral and balloon releasing ceremony. Living in a different state will make it difficult to attend of course, so I am doing it on my own. He deserves all the honor we can give him.

One comfort that I have is knowing that he enjoyed the teddy bear and it gave him love.
