JDUSTU - Please forgive me if I have hijacked your thread. That was not my intention and also thank you for allowing me to glean ideas from your beautiful work. I admire your skills and imagination.

Sorry man, I just saw this! No worries at all!

I can't wait to see what you come up with

Thank you for doing this project.

I haven't said anything before, but I have been dealing with my dear, dear, wife of 39 years and her diagnosis of ****** cancer in April of this year. No one can truly appreciate what a family (specifically the spouse and child) goes through when you learn the most important person in your life has a potentially life threatening disease. It has been the worst four months of both mine and her lives.

She finally had surgery on July 6 and according to her surgeon, she should be cancer free. No one can be sure, however. She will still have to go through at least 5 years of medicinal therapy and has the small possibility of some chemo. I don't think the Pope himself has prayed any more than we have and we continue to do so.

Since her surgery, I've been her nurse, housekeeper, chauffer, shoulder to cry on, hairdresser, bath boy, and the soldier that will go to battle for her with anything that gets in the way.

You have given me the inspiration to do something similar for our local ****** cancer society. I knew I wanted to do something, but didn't know quite what form it would take. I ask your permission to borrow some of your ideas for my project.

Thank you for posting this as it brought a warm feeling to me and gives me a positive reason to get back in the shop with a purpose.

It appears the forum censor has **'ed out a specific word, but you know what I am speaking of.

Thanks again.

Hey Sporty,

Sorry to hear about your wife's bout with cancer, I lost my mother to the same cancer when I was a teenager. You can count my prayers in as well and I hope she makes a full recovery and y'all get another 39 years together!!!!

Thanks Blondie.

I'm currently working on a small project for this cause but between other demands, it's taking me a bit longer than I planned. I'll post pics of it when done.

Jdustu - Glad to hear of your sculpture's success at auction. It is a great piece and you did a great job on it.
