Many signs and remnants all around the city of the recent earthquake in Marrakech (8 September 2023)
One of my dear friends is battling breast cancer right now, and so we at work have been trying to show our support and to cheer her up with her favorite things (which are the color purple and butterflies).
So, first we made her a mobile, where each person who wanted to made a butterfly, and I made the mobile and put everything together.
It was hanging in her cubicle while she went through chemo therapy, and she said it really helped through those nauseous days when she needed a bit more motivation.
Then her dog suddenly developed tumors and died, so we made her a butterfly with her dog's portrait, which went into her cubicle, as well.
Right before Lori's surgery, my supervisor had an idea, which I made into reality ^_^
I made a cocoon, with a butterfly (which my supervisor made) inside. And everyone who wanted to in the department wrote notes for our friend, which I folded and attached to the cocoon. Lori took it home to read the notes, but is not allowed to open the cocoon itself until she comes back (then the butterfly can come out).
This is the shot of everything on Lori's last day before her surgery. As I'm thinking of her, I decided to share this shot, so maybe if there is someone in your life who is going through something hard like this, it can give you an idea on cheering them up through little things like these.
