To the loving mother that did an amazing job raising an incredible man...
You did it once. Twice. And you can beat it again for a third time.
Jay sends to you, lots of "hearts and love and I-love-yous and more hearts."
Lola sends to you, lots of "glitter and sparkles and more and more sparkly glitter."
And Fifi sends to you, everything else that is missing, at once. She, the third, completes the picture.
And I send to you, every inch of our stubbornness that must run in our family to give you the strength and the courage you need to fight breast cancer for the last time.
Forever grateful for what you created. Fight.

Beautiful works of art, both your children and the canvases. My thoughts and prayers to your MIL. Cancer is such a horrible thing and for her to have beaten twice...well then she must be a tough gal, she can do it again! Best of luck to her!

Cancer sucks. That's all there is too it.
Warm thoughts to you and yours...and that last picture is just TOO MUCH!
I love the pictures. And I'll bet grandma will, too.
3 times? Wow, let's hope this 3rd time is a charm and will be treated and cured easily. :)
Beautiful post. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Perfection.
Oh honey, I'm so sorry to hear this. The art work is wonderful, though. Perfect sentiments from all four of you.
It's a perfect prescription. I hope everything goes well.
That is such a great gesture, and I am sure it will be loved and appreciated. Stay strong and never give up! Many thoughts of wellness for your MIL!
What a touching post. I hope she beats it for good this time!
As blasphemous as this sounds, I was blatantly defiant of God when I found out my grandmother had breast cancer. I was in college. She had seen me through some major troubles, when everyone else hung me out to dry. So when I found out, I clearly remember saying, "God, don't you DARE take her from me. Not now." She won. I hope your MIL does, too.
Those are so precious, your children are beautiful people. So are you, I hope all is well with your MIL.
Lots and lots of prayers for your MIL and your family.
heavy sigh. I'm here. Trying to think of what you might need. Not feeling very creative or witty.
Saying a prayer for your MIL's full recovery.
I'm sure you put a smile on her face. Great idea.
That is so sweet. I am sure she will treasure them!
Praying for a quick recovery for MIL :)
I'm so sorry that she has to go through this again... May you all keep that stubbornness through it. And I hope this time around is as easy as it CAN be....
I am praying for your MIL and for your hubby and your family. It is so hard. Cancer takes so much from families.

i love the artwork. as i look the possibility of cancer in the face friday i can't imagine what she is going through. again. i'll be praying!
My thoughts and prayers are w/your MIL.
What beautiful artwork...love the face in the last picture!! :)
So sorry to hear this. But I'm sure this totally made her day. What beautiful pictures!!! Definitely frame them!
My mother has battled breast cancer (10 years ago), lung cancer (2 years ago - considered a recurrence of her breast cancer) and brain cancer (last year - more recurrence). And she's STILL here and still fighting and still maintaining a good quality of life. Cancer research has come a long way - and this combined with your mother in law's strength will get her through another fight. Hopefully she really won't ever have to live to fight another day. She can just live to live. Much love to all of you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...sending strong vibes to your MIL:)
Just beautiful. Sending good and strong and fighting thoughts.
Those are gorgeous and so beautiful and treasured! And cheery and wonderful! I could go on and on! What a wonderful idea to do that for her.
Prayers for your MIL and all of you!
Praying for your MIL as well as your entire family.
Love the paintings. You are so brave to let Fifi play with paint!
Yes, I agree, that was the absolutely most perfect idea. I love them and I definitely can imagine how much your MIL loves them!!!!
I'll be thinking and praying for your family!
So sorry your mil is fighting for a third time...I think this will lift her spirits...Good luck and I will keep your family in my prayers
I know, truly know, what you are going through.
This was a gorgeous and inspirational post and I am praying with all my heart for your MIL's recovery.

Beautiful pictures. I know your MIL will greatly appreciate them and it will make her smile to know her beautiful grandchildren made them in love. What a thoughtful and wonderful thing to do. Our prayers go out to you and your family. My grandfather beat cancer 2 times. He did pass away almost 4 years ago from leukemia but I know your MIL is young and she can beat this.
Those are awesome.
Sending good thoughts and prayers to your MIL!
Beautiful cards, I hope this adds to your mother in laws feeling of being loved! I am praying for her and your family, so tough to have to do it again.
