For a jig name : Guardian Angel
For your wife: A heart felt prayer cancer is prevalent in my family . I know both the heart ache and the victory . Often the pain comes first but there is victory ahead . Keep your eye on the future and faith in your soul .

My wife called this morning from Michigan so the "Bug" (grand daughter) could talk to Papa. After she ran off to play I told her about this and sent her a copy of the picture.

Mel - this is straight from her "Great picture and the jig he tied actually whether or not he realizes it, how this she hit goes - the mix on the end is the diagnosis - the pink body is the really crappy part Surgery, chemo, radiation, hair loss, puking and cussing (at the cancer and her husband) and he better be real smart and just take it. the white speckled head when the first test comes back and every thing is clear. The space betwee the jig and the flower can be short or long, and it's the waiting time for the 5 year clear date (total remission)". On the name, she said "Hope" says it all but add "(AND KICK DESPAIR IN THE A$$)"!!!

Can't argue with a lady that's been through it!!!

Hey, guys, this is Mrs. Mel -

I do not know each of you personally, but definitely feel connected; I think in part, due to the prayers, endless encouragement and undeniable strength the Mr. Mel and I are able to draw from each of you and your individual stories. Your posts lend words of strength and courage - both of which are much needed commodities in the world of the big "C"; but praise Him, I am a child of the Bigger "C" -CHRIST! There is nothing more precious than being one in the Lord - during the good, the bad and especially during the ugly. We rest in the knowledge that nothing happens to us that hasn't already gone through our Father's hands. He truly is the Center of victorious living and we persevere as we trust and rest in Him alone. You all are such "gifts" to my spirit - it is a blessing to have others in my life to walk this road with. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you for our blessing.

P.S. I love my "special jig" made by my "special guy". I also love and appreciate the names (and sentiments) you all submitted and have settled upon the name "Positive Pink".

"P.S.S. Hello, my name is Mel and I have breast cancer; and I am positively positive, I am at war and I will be taking no prisoners....

You and your family are in our prayers and we pray the Lord has HIS way.

I also think Hope is a good name for your Jig. Your wife and family will be in our prayers. I lost a sister in law and a good friend to cancer in 2011.

Melvin, you out did yourself with this jig. Had to have came from the heart.
I liked all of the name suggestions that were offered. But, she picked the best one for her and it is fitting. I would have to add spirit because she has plenty of that.
The world brings us battles. But when we keep our faith and our eyes on God he hands us victories. Then uses our journey to encourage others.
You are two special people. Even with all this going on you still have time to think of others. God Bless You Both.

Oh, and maybe you should let her pick your materials more often.
