Oct 10: Bucket of Strength Hat

I am thankful to have participated in this event each year since it started. Over the years I have been honored to have met many outstanding people, including survivors, their family members, and those who make and donate things to help those effected by cancer. This year my “beanie” is a different style, one full of strength. Almost every year I have chosen to honor those with lung cancer.

A few years ago my mother in law was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I often tell her she should be the poster child for the effect a positive outlook can have on one’s life. Through the diagnosis, aggressive rounds of chemo, hair-loss, and many side effects, she has never stopped living her life to the fullest. I know she has to have felt a range of emotions and she has been sick, but she has ALWAYS been 100% there for everyone around her. I chose a colorful, purple-ish yarn instead of white (the color of the lung cancer ribbon) to celebrate the many colorful moments she brings to her grandkids, kids, and everyone who knows her. May this hat bring strength, comfort, and a feeling of power to all who wear it.
