Two things that are very close to my heart and probably hundreds of you that may read this,is breast cancer awareness and the poppies for remembrance,and as we are still (just) in October which is breast cancer awareness month I thought a Pink ribbon would be good to put on my blog and remind everyone women and men about examining ourselves.My family have gone through the horrible disease three times and I myself have had two scares so I always support anything to do with raising money for research.
Two sad subjects to Post about but ones we should all be very aware of and ones that most of us will have been or know someone who has been affected by them. SO FEEL THOSE BOOBS AND WEAR THAT POPPY GUYS AND GIRLS.And I hope all you lovely people in America and surrounding countries are safe.
Take care love Jill xxxx
Hi Jill, thank you for your post about the awareness of breast cancer, which is a constant threat to all women. Wearing poppies in conmemoration of WW II and WW I is beautiful gesture to the victims of these wars. I myself was a prisoner in a Japanese concentrationcamp for 2. 1/2 years.

Wonderful reminder post and tribute ~
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me - I got a notice that I'm due for a mammogram! I must make an appointment as my older sister had to have a mastectomy and my younger sister is going through a scare right now...hopefully, it's just a scare, that is. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Well said Jill!
ReplyDeleteI was interested to learn that even the young men of my grandson's high school class have bought--and worn--the pink tokens this month.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of poppies in remembrance of war deaths.
