So, here’s my question. What kind of jelly makes the best PB&J?
Every once in a while, I will spend a little time perusing the greeting cards at our local grocery store, looking for particularly funny ones. Some time back, I found a real gem of a card and bought it, intending to send it to one of my brothers on his birthday. Well, the card never made it into the mail, and I came back across it last night while cleaning through a pile of papers on my desk.

My daughter Ashley died of cancer in November 2001. She was 14 years old. Diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was almost 10, she went through a year-and-a-half of treatments, was cancer-free for three years, and then relapsed in the Fall of 2001. She survived only two-and-a-half months after her relapse.
In the United States in 2007, more than 10,000 children under the age of 15 were diagnosed with cancer. Over 1,500 of them will die from the disease. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children, exceeded only by accidents. (Source: American Cancer Society )
