(paragraph that was here removed)
My mother in law received the shrug that I had knit for her. I finished it a couple of months ago, but hadn't gotten around to sending it off. When she got this diagnosis of cancer I boxed it up and sent it off along with a jar of chokecherry jelly that I made from the chokecherries that my youngest two children and I had picked. It was so nice to hear that it all arrived safely at their house and my mother in law sounded better than she has in ages. It doesn't change the diagnosis, nor does it shorten the time spent waiting for doctors appointments and test results, but they know I'm thinking about them. She said the wound on my father in laws head where they have biopsied the melanoma is healing. Hopefully it won't be all bad news once the results start rolling in.
I am ready for this year to be over, it has been most trying and I am sure that 2007 will be better....(good Lord it's only September!?)

Aw, Cheri! I'm just catching up. I'm so sorry for all that's happening in your family. I'm sending you my thoughts and hugs, but I wish I could do more.
Hang in there.
So sorry to hear about your news. You are very thoughtful to send those gifts with such love. I got to your blog from http://knittogether.blogspot.com/ and stopped by to ask about the yarn shop in Nipomo - I live in Morro Bay.
