An odd request.
 

So I haven’t mentioned it here, but my grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer this year. We lost my grandfather, her wonderful husband of 50 years two years ago after a short battle with leukemia.

All medical probabilities point to this likely being her last Christmas, maybe one more. One of her favorite past times for Christmas is displaying all of her Christmas cards.

So my odd request is for you guys to help flood her mailbox with Christmas cards. She would adore it.

Here is a picture she sent us from her last chemo treatment. Sorry for the pats hear but we are local and she’s been a die hard my entire life. Even had season tickets in the 70s to the 90s.

If interested please pm me for the address. Thanks everyone and happy holidays.

BTW, small cell lung cancer is very fatal, BUT they now have stuff to treat it better. I have a lady friend diagnosed 2 years ago and the doctor told her she had 1 year max. She's alive and the cancer is GONE.

I’m in

Missed me.

Got ya now.

I think I’m all caught up. I knew CP wouldn’t let me down. You guys are the best.

Yeah, there are some success stories. She is fighting it. Determined to beat it. We are all hoping for the best. She’s 72, my grandfather was 72 when he passed with leukemia. Never got to retire, and if anyone deserved it it was him.

Pm me, I'm in.

Just now catching up on CP i'm in pm me.

I do ask for one thing in return...
I want to see this thread bumped on Christmas with a picture of her and her Christmas cards.

I didn't need it this time, but that's kind of brilliant.

Sorry it took me a while to catch up here. I just knocked out a 13 hour shift.

I am all caught up on messages. Thank you guys so much for being awesome. I can’t wait until these cards start rolling in.

My card is in the mail. Bump for anyone else who might be interested in this

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know that you rock. My grandmother was super surprised and absolutely loved the kind messages you all shared. She is very grateful. She didn’t want to be in the picture, for personal reasons but I wanted to share the display she has going on.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9fc11adee6.jpg

Mine will be there soon.

That's awesome man, thank you for the update.

Here are all of the cards since my last update. Thanks a bunch guys. You are all awesome.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d328938a93.jpg

Glad to do it, sounds like she's a sweet lady!

Crap, I feel terrible that I missed this thread. PM me an address and I'll mail card..

Sorry I missed this..

Wanted to give everyone a quick update. My grandma is a warrior. She has gone though chemo every 3 weeks since September, and no more are scheduled for the time being. She has been feeling better and having to use the oxygen less. She started an immunotherapy this week and goes back for more scans this month. Thanks to all of you guys that sent cards wishing her well. i knew i could count on you guys to help brighten her holiday season.

I did not send a card, but this is great news! Prayers, Thoughts and Good Vibes for Grandma. :)

Sorry to have missed this thread Josh.

Outstanding.

At least her team won the SB. Hopefully that helped her feel better too.

Hey, we're not as bad as people claim we are.

And I'm super-happy she's progressing too. I love me some good news...

Rock on brother!

Hi guys , another quick update. My grandmother wants me to thank everyone, but i will do so by sharing the actual message she just sent me. You guys sending her cards really helped a bunch. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cf2c4f8cf5.jpg

The truth is, we're a pretty big group, we should do more of this sort of stuff...

If people will just ask, we will deliver.

It was awesome trying to find a stamp... LMAO

The pleasure was mine man. I'm glad it lifted her spirits. I'm guessing another Pats SB did too

Glad to do it. Good to hear she is doing better.

Hey guys.

I just wanted to let everyone know that this morning my grandmother passed away. I want to thank everyone here for helping lift her spirits over the holiday. You guys are the best.

Sorry to hear. RIP.

Sorry, man

I'm sorry Josh. May she RIP

Sorry to hear this. Hugs and prayers to you and yours.

My deepest condolences. Hang in there.

Aww, damn. Sorry to hear that man, but glad we could help lift her spirits a bit. Condolences.

Very sorry to hear it Josh. And I'm happy we could make her holiday a bit brighter.

We fight a lot, but we're pretty OK sometimes too.

Condolences. Glad we could lift her spirits over Christmas.

Damn bud, very sorry to hear this :(
