One of the lymph nodes the cancer broke through.
This quilt is a work in progress, I still need to represent the chemotherapy, radiation therapy and bone marrow transplant.
This story has a happy ending, my son will be starting college this month.

BEautiful story and quilt and CONGRATULATIONS on your long journey. GOD is Good isn't He! So glad you have been there for your son through his growing up years and pray that you will be able to see grandchildren graduate from college and give you great grandchildren.
