Retro sketches #14

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Work, for me, was super busy this last month, but this weekend I found the time to play with  my PTI goodies and created today's card for Retro sketches.

This is my first time officially playing along. I used PTI's Bacground Basics: Diamonds for my strip, Pretty Peonies for the image and Botanical Silhouettes for the sentiment.

Unfortunately there is a real reason for creating this card. My friend, Gina, who has been fighting breast cancer has had some recent difficult news. She has gone through 2 rounds of chemo, and was on her second clinical trial, when she suffered complications that admitted her to the ICU. The cancer has now spread to her brain. This whole thing is hard for me to wrap my head around at times. My throat hurts, my stomach hurts and I have cried a lot. If you have read this far, please, please say a prayer for her and her family. Pray for God's utmost comfort. Thank you...
