My daughter Sam works in an Oncology office. Cancer is their life! They spend their days (and many times nights) assisting folks who are involved in their own private war. Each and everyday the staff of this office leaves their own problems in their cars and walks through the door with smiles and eyes filled with hope for all of the people they will be seeing during the course of their day. These girls are all special, no matter what their specific job is they all are an important aspect to the well being of the patients. They are all very aware of all the effects cancer has on the life of their patients. The office gets involved in all sorts of charity work to help keep cancer research going. They participate in walks and make donations to charity events. They try to assist, teach and create a community support system. In October (breast cancer awareness month) they get together and have an office luncheon where they all cook or bake something. These little breaks from the normal day helps to keep them together as group. A little bit of lightness in a stressful situation so to speak. Last year Sam was on cupcakes and we made really nice toppers for the cupcake display (of course I didn't get a picture). This year I got a jump on the graphic and I really like the way it looks. Here is a .png of the graphic. I hope you like it too.
Can't you just see this on a toothpick coming out of pink and white frosted cupcakes! I think the girls will love them. I just hope I didn't make a spelling mistake. If you catch one please let me know so I can fix it before I go to print! Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend,
Lysa

I was released from my oncologists office last October. The saddest thing to me was not being able to see the smiling faces and upbeat greetings from "the girls" behind the desk! No matter how bad I was feeling the day of my appointment (physically, or just plain depressed) their smiles and greetings ALWAYS lifted my spirits. PLEASE tell them how much they mean to us as we are going through our battle!
