It is always hard to see people we love go through something hard and extremely painful.  A well known visitor to the Pootie diaries and very good friend to many here, jwinIL14, has just been diagnosed with lung cancer.  He is scheduled to have surgery on Sept. 25, certain tests allowing.  He is hoping they will have to remove less tissue rather than more… Regardless, it will be a very major surgery.

Let’s make jwin14IL a colorful blanket full of loving messages that he can take with him to the hospital, something to remind him of how many people treasure his cheerful spirit and sense of fun.  Then, when he is home recuperating, he will have all your loving words to blanket him as he rests and gets his strength back.  This kind of community love is excellent medicine and it cannot help but support the spirit of our dear friend as he heals.

 This is a rush project for obvious reasons — we are looking for at least 44 messages of love and support and hope to get them quickly.  So please help us spread the word and get this quilt subscribed.  If “jwinIL14” is too much of a mouthful in your message, it is okay to address him as John.
