My daughter has advanced cervical cancer and anything positive that you can post would be great. All positive thoughts please. Contest is open to the continental US only.

Nine years (and many successful New York Fashion Week runway shows) later, Twinkle now encompasses a whole range of goods, from womenswear to home to jewelry. Twinkle Jewels takes flight with the Birds of a Feather necklace. Set on a brass chain, the darling avian-inspired charm will fly straight to your heart. * Brass chain * Plastic and wood bead pendant Value: $101 Extra entries: Follow my blog Follow elliejf on Twitter Blog about my giveaway and leave the URL where you blogged.

Thank you for the giveaway. If I won this beautiful piece, I'd give it to my mom for her birthday.

Wishing you many wins and better (much, MUCH, better) news soon. I'm not sure what I could say that would cheer you up, what you are going through is a lot. I'm so sorry.

Good Morning! I don't know how I missed this great fun blog of yours! My fb status updates are wonky sometimes or buried in all the quizes! :) I'm a follower now though! :D What a beautiful piece!

I was really saddened to hear of your daughter's diagnosis, I know how heartbreaking it is to go thru cancer with your child, my son is a survivor today and I'm praying your daughter will kick cancer to the curb, just like her strong momma did! :) Hope you have a great day!

Love your blog!

Here's a joke that my son always says cheers people up:

What do you call a cow dream that you have over and over again?

Deja-Moo!

Wishing you a happy day and many prayers to you and your daughter!

It's wonderful that you can see the positive in so much when faced with heartbreaking news.

Here's a silly joke my stepson tells us (more so when he was younger)..

why did the skeleton not cross the road?

cause he didn't have any guts. lol.

you probably guessed that. picture a 6 yr old telling you that :)) very cute!

Karin on April 10, 2009 12:30 PM said... 25

Very sorry about your daughter, hugs and prayers to you and your family.

Here are a few cute jokes:
Two dogs are walking down the street, one says, "Wait a minute" and then crosses the road. He sniffs around a fire hydrant and returns. The other dog says, "What was that all about?" The first dog replies, "Just checking my messages!"

Why did the chicken cross the road? To prove to the squirrels it could be done

I was flipping through the channels a few nights ago and I saw something about a blood test for cancer. They can check protiens in the blood to detect if there's any cancer. They hope to have it included in everyone's annual checkup in 5 years.

Wouldn't that be great? To detect cancer so early will surely save a lot of people.

I'm so sorry your daughter is going through this. Stay strong. Your family will be in my thoughts.

I appreciate the giveaway , it's a darling necklace!

You might know this verse already - Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

It's helped me get though some difficult times, my son has been sick for quite some time. My prayers are with you.

I'm really sorry about your daughter. I don't know if she lives in Maryland too (another Marylander here)but as I'm sure you know we live in one of the greatest medical centers in the country. So I'm sure she's getting the best care. When my husband was ill with cancer we tried to do some fun things as well as get his treatment. Maybe the two of you could go for a mini spa day or to one of the museums.

Take care. Kim

Sending good thoughts and prayers out to your daughter and you. Just read this articl in Woman's World about a woman who battled stage 3B breast cancer and was cured after changing her diet. Info is on her website CancerAvenues.com. Maybe this can help your daughter.
