Per my usual I’m on the run, but I have some important things to share so I’m stopping by quickly.

No eye candy today.

Before you read today’s “news” you may want to just take a moment and hug your own children or loved ones. We should never forget how fragile and precious life is. Your entire life can change in an instant. Tomorrow is never a guarantee. That being said what I have to share breaks my heart. I feel for all those affected and know that their lives are forever changed, in just a second.

I work for Pink Cat Studio. One of our girls has suffered a severe loss. Something no mom should ever have to go though.

This is the info we are all using the spread the word:

This week has been a very sad one as DT member Sarah Anderson’s 3 year old son Henry passed away. Little Henry was unable to overcome a virus that made him ill last week.

 Lorie Ames has organized a way to donate for a memorial for Henry. Henry loved his local zoo and visited it almost every day in the summer. As a memorial, trees will be planted there in his honor. Melissa at Pink Cat Studio has created a digital stamp to help raise funds for a tree for Henry. All proceeds from the sale of the digi stamp, minus Paypal costs, will go towards the tree. If you would like to donate towards the tree, please visit this webpage to purchase the digi stamp: https://www.pinkcatstudio.com/Digital/DigiStamps/Animals/Zoo/GiraffeAndMonkey.htm

Another way to donate to the memorial is to print out this form and mail in your donation directly: https://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/Parks/PDF/MemorialTreePamphlet.pdf

Please write on the form that the donation is for Sarah Anderson’s son Henry. Once all of the money is collected, a tree and location will be selected. If you have questions about the form please contact Lorie Ames. Lorie will be in contact with Sarah along this memorial journey to ensure that her wishes are followed.

If you don’t know Sarah and would like to learn more about her, please visit her blog: https://scrampinmama.blogspot.com/ Thank you for your help to raise money for a tree for Henry.

Then another sad story to share is that of Jaime Cates.

There is a blog hop going on for her beginning here (this was the other day). So if you have time send her a card!

I know I will be working on that this weekend, along with the latest from Pink Cat Studio-with the image for Henry. She has some really cute new digis out.

I have some other last minute projects to prepare for too, so better get going. You WON’T want to miss my PTI newsletter project tomorrow 😀 TRUST ME!

Thank you all for checking out these causes, and maybe finding the time to send a card. Its little things like that, that touch people.
