wondering if all of you creative people out there might be able to help me with a project. I have a very sweet and dear friend who has been plagued with cancer most of her adult life. Slowly, she is losing the battle. She had surgery to remove a large amount of it, and the Dr. was pretty sure he got it all this time. She went in for her post-op appointment, only to find that her cancer has already returned! She is the most wonderful person you could ever meet, and is a real fighter. But even she is starting to lose hope.

I wanted to make her a lap quilt, embroidered with pictures and positive affirmations. I'm wondering if you all could help me come up with some SHORT sayings that might help keep her spirits up and help her stay strong and continue to fight. She loves dogs and all animals, is a very strong Christian lady, and all of the neighborhood children get really excited when they see her outside, because she allows them to go on walks with her (with parental permission of course). She is the pied piper of children and animals. On the dark side, she has two adult sons and a boarder who leach off her and treat her like their own personal slave. It is her selflessness that is being abused here. Anyway, if you could offer sayings, short prose, affirmations, etc., I would appreciate it. I haven't figured out how to use all of those beautiful fonts on my computer yet, other than to pick out the letters I need and put them on my memory stick. Therefore, the request for the short sayings.
Thank you! This is a wonderful community and I know that you have imaginations beyond belief.
