For a friend
Evening all,
I have a friend who's fiance has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is also a friend so thought I would throw together a quick pink pen as a gift for her. They're doing it pretty tough at the moment so hopefully things improve quickly for them.
Regards,
CorbsIt's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Top stuff Corbs. All the best to your friend. A mates Grandmother is suffering with breast cancer at the moment, 2 simultaneous lots of chemo.
The old girl's a fighter though, tells everyone she's determined to die of a heart attack and not cancer

Thanks for the comments all (and for the PM Amos). It's not something you want to happen to anyone but these people are really very nice and a lovely couple. He only proposed to her over the Xmas/New Year period and then this happens. He has only told three or four people onboard about it and the fact that I'm one of those people I feel is an honour that he regards my friendship that way. She is a young strong woman and will get plenty of support from him and others so hopefully this has a happy ending.
Regards,
Corbs
Edit: I have no idea how the ROFL came up in my post but just noticed it. Gone nowIt's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Beautiful Corbs, I hope she gets through it, they already know to stay strong, all my best. I'm sure that if they need extra strength you'll have it for them.
