AN EMOTIONAL HEALING QUILT

It has just occurred to me... the healing powers of a quilt. I think Bryce needs a quilt as a tangible sign that people care about him. That he has worth and that we are glad that he is recovering. So we will make him that quilt to show him that we love and care for him. I think because a lot of 'old men' get prostate cancer, people dismiss it or somehow normalise it. But Bryce is a younger man and men his age generally do not get struck down with prostate cancer. Bryce is a person who has always had that driving force within him to be a healthy person. Because his dad died at the age of 56 from a heart attack - Bryce has always ensured that he would not smoke, would not eat the wrong diet that could lead to a heart attack, and that he would keep himself at a healthy weight range by (diet+) exercising well. (of course we love cake, pizza, pies, chips, chocolate) - they are an occasional part of our diet.) Bryce has weights and he walks/ runs to keep his cardio function in top gear. Never had Cancer come into the equation. I think he and we ask ourselves "WHY". But then you can also say, why not. Cancer strikes indescriminately. 1:8 women gets breast cancer. That's a massive high figure. Why? And other people get other things that drastically change their lives. So the process of making him that quilt will help to say "You are important to us".
