Kathryn R says:I don’t know you, Crystal Canary, but your winter pick is beautiful even though freezing cold. I’m so sorry to learn of the setback you and your husband are experiencing. I’m praying for you both and your family in this horrible time of covid. Sending a hug and hope that love will prevail.

dolllady aka Pam says:It is a beautiful pick to get you through the storm handed to you in this already horrible pandemic. That initial shock is like rough man slammed his fist into your gut. It will get easier as you know. There will be have its ups and downs as you well know. You also know your LB buddies will be thinking of you, sending you guys huge through space, thoughts and ptayers.

MH says:May God bless you and your husband! I tuned in to do my own ice themed pick, but not for a reason as earthshaking as yours. So I’ll skip my complaining and pray for you and your husband.

Robin nursechick says:CC, I was wondering where you were. I’m so sorry to hear of your husband’s illness returning. Both my brother and his wife have cancer. It’s a difficult road to go, I’ll keep you and your husband in my prayers and hope you can draw strength from your faith. I agree, your LB friends are here -prayers my friend!

Beady Little Eyes says:Oh Crystal – I’m so sorry to hear the terrible news. My heart goes out to both of you. Hugs from me also.

Crystal Canary says:What a warm way to start my day with all the wonderful words of comfort & hope from all of you. It’s been very emotionally hard to wrap my head around this, and I just feel numb. I went into the bead room last week, and was surprised that I was uninterested in anything to do with beading–that’s a REAL surprise. Thought it might help to distract my mind, but it didn’t work. This week, I thought I’d visit the site and create a pick–and behold, you have all given me a boost of courage. Thank you all.

Zippy-Klunk says:Love this pick! Monochromatic but also dramatic…but my heart sank when I read your news! I am so very very sorry. I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around what you are facing, even with your visual description. I am a prayer-warrior and both you and hubby are and will continue to be on my list. Please be very kind to yourself! Thank you for sharing your heart with us. A very brave thing to do…

Granny Nancy says:Congratulations on your beautiful POD. I don’t know where you shared what’s happening in your lives but I understand your husband’s cancer has returned. My husband had cancer and we lucked out with a remission from the experimental drug study he was put into. So there’s always hope. And definitely I’ll be praying for you both.

Kathryn R says:Congrats, Crystal Canary, on your POD. Like Nancy and so many others, I will be praying for you and your dear husband.

Jogi says:Crystal, This is a beautiful pick that you made in the midst of a monochromatic reality. I, too, offer my prayers. I have found that when we are at our most hopeless that we can experience God at His most hopeful. That may not matter to you but I promise to keep you and your husband in my prayers. I have experienced the most amazing miracles in the darkest hours of my own life. May you, too.

Crystal Canary says:Thank you all so much. I was so shocked to turn on the computer and see that this made POD. All of your comforting words help so much. It’s good to know you’re not alone when facing these realities in life. We are both hanging in there. The beginning of this week, I actually felt the urge to create again–so glad to feel that way, as I know it will help keep my mind busy. Thank you again–your words mean a lot to me.
