A month ago, when I was feeling pretty low…I started getting letters and cards in the mail. Many, many cards! It was sweet, thoughtful and overwhelming. I loved that people took the time to share a moment in time with me.

A few of the letters were from people I did not know. One, was from the Mother of a friend of Lauren’s. Her name is Hazel. Hazel, has been fighting ovarian cancer and she is in remission! { I love that word!} And…Hazel has become a friend of mine. Our friendship started by writing texts almost daily and now we have marathon phone calls once or twice a week.

Hazel, has been fighting cancer, is a master quilt maker and loves her children/grandchildren very much. See? We have a lot in common.

Yesterday during one of our wonderful visits…Hazel mentioned that she had made masks with fabric she had at the house. She made as many as she could {17 I think} and then made arrangements to deliver them to the pediatric office where her grandchildren go. I am in awe of her. What a lovely, thoughtful thing for her to do.

She sent me a picture after our visit and I had asked her if I could share the story and photo. She said of course.

Hazel and I have never met in person. I hope that when the quarantine is over, she and I can have a chat in person.

I finished a painting yesterday. It is titled Hazel’s Bouquet…..fitting, don’t you agree?

May your today be filled with special people, and special moments…..

That is what matters most of all, right?

Love you beyond the moon.
