September 17, 2010  Gifts for a Sick Friend  My cousin Lee
writes: I have a good friend from college who has had a bone
cancer disease and it is getting the best of her now. her entire
face from the nose down had to be basically taken apart to get
the cancer out of the jaw bone.  She only drinks liquids
now...and can't smell very well.  So here's my question for you
and possibly for your blog readers if you want to pose it....  I
want to send her a care package. Smelly things are is out....
What could I assemble that would bring her joy and happiness?
She loves flowers...but flowers die quickly....I want some
things to cheer her up.  and I need help figuring this out. I'm
stumped.  Are you on it for me?  Aw, GEEZ, Lee, this is really
SAD! And a little gross BUT MOSTLY SAD.  Flowering plants are
good, if you think she'd be up to caring for them. When Henry
was born, my parents brought me a gorgeous shiny splendid
geranium for my room. Admire:  Also admire little Henry on the
bed. How eensy is he? VERY eensy.
