Lord, please send an angel to wrap Andrew in its soft wings and give him strength and encouragement during these difficult times he is going through. Give him bravery and confidence during his gamma knife treatments and make the radiation strong and sure in its job. Comfort his family and give them strength and encouragement also. Help Andrew with his appetite and send him yummy thoughts and foods to comfort him. Amen
Yes. That might be the case. Another reason could be that they are sorry to hear the news. I was going to put a thumbs down for the latter reason, but did otherwise. =)
This is such a strange medium; I have never met you but you’ve been in my home, had tea with me, chatted with me, laughed with me. You feel like dear friends and I pray for you all, for Andrew’s health of course but also for strength and courage and patience for Andrea and Madeline. Being with someone you love as they face something like this is so challenging. Sometimes all you can do is just get through the next 15 minutes, then the next. In those ‘15 minutes’ moments remember that (global audience that you have) even if it’s 4AM your time, no doubt someone somewhere is holding you in their thoughts so you’re never alone.
Yes definitely, I have been sending healing thoughts all day today for you all.....You came into my life in 2016 when life was very dark... even though I am a hopeless knitter I love everything about your wonderful informative podcasts. I taught myself to knit as I am left handed and have had to watch everything in a mirror to see how to do many things. Lol! I want to make something with more than one colour and would love to make a full wearable garment one day... it is too hot in Qld for wool so I like Cotton. Andrew’s knitting progress over the years has been inspirational to me. I do Crochet, but Fair-isle would be fun to learn one day. 🤪 All the best to you all, stay strong from Australia 🇦🇺 xxxx
You three beautiful souls - epitomizing grace and love and generosity of spirit. We're thinking of you all the time and sending healing energy your way. Please don't worry about new episodes unless working is a welcome distraction. We'll all be here when Andrew is well again.
My thoughts are with you at this sad time. You have a beautiful loving family Andrew. I wish you a full recovery. Thank you to you and Andria for an amazing programme best wishes north shropshire England
The odds are just odds, people defy them all the time, especially people who are relentlessly positive. I have every confidence that Andrew will make a full recovery, but I will keep you all in my heart anyway. Thank you for dropping an update so soon after your last video, I know I'm a stranger, but I consider all three of you (and Jack) friends and I worry as much as any friend would.
My mother had a brain tumour and tumour behind her eyes. She got tired of medical treatments. She just decided to have a faith in God and live life. She was given about 6 months to live but she lived for another 10 years. Miracles happen Andrew and Andrea. I pray for you. I shall always be your patron. Sending you lots of love from New York City.
Prayers from Norway. I have been thinking of you a lot. When the last video was published, I was together with a lot of Norwegian knitting-podcasters on a mini-festival. We were a group at a table who watched the video together and almost stopped breathing for a while when we heard the news. It was very strange, because we had been talking about the knitting world and the world of podcast, and I had talked about you in a lecture the same evening (a kind of "the history of knitting podcast) and mentioned you as the most professional and that you are like television in quality. We love you and hope for the best! Take care and don't hurry to make a new episode. Digital hugs from Merete
As a nurse I was really hopeful that you would be a candidate for the gamma knife. The fact that you are in Germany really gives you an edge because the level of medical care there is unsurpassed. The gamma knife has been a total game changer in inoperable tumors. Smoothies are a really good way to get your nutrition Especially if you add a little spirulina Which will help keep your immune system together. I pray for all of you especially Andrea who I think has A highly developed sense of Empathy for other people. I'm glad Madeline was able to come home for a little while I was wondering if she would be able to. I feel like I know you all because you've been so open with your lives. you have my continued little bit of support and my prayers and good thoughts for strength and healing. God holds us all in the palm of his hand and keeps those closest to him in his sight.
I am in the USA and in our stores we have nutritional drinks with lots of essential vitamins and minerals. One brand is Boost, but I'm sure there are others. But it may be a game changer for Andrew's loss of appetite. With love & prayers.
Be careful using that word beginning with r because for people down under it is like using the f word - though I’m sure they understood what you meant ;)
@@mellibee100 well, for us in Canada we know exactly what rooting for someone means (good things) . So Arne & Carlos, we are praying for healing for Andrew also.
Isaiah 40:31 - But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Andrea what a great idea about sharing all the loving thoughts with all those in need. We love you all, and praise God from who all blessings flow and for miracles both seen and unseen.
Prayers from Scotland. I became disabled with a neurological condition 6 years ago. I taught myself to crochet. With lockdown I challenged myself to up my crochet game, then when that was completed I upped my knitting game by trying my first cable jumper ( for my old dog) I hope to try colour work and knitting in the round next. I've got the knitting bug! I discovered your channel when you announced Andrews health condition. You have been in my thoughts and prayers since. I look forward to working my way through the episodes and learning lots.
Sending love and healing prayers to all three of you. My friend's mother had the gamma knife treatment two different times for inoperable brain tumors and is still with us. There is hope. You have many prayer warriors at work for you.
Child of Light, I Bless you! I think of you, I pray for you, not in terms of what I think you need, or what I think you should do or be or express. I lift up my thoughts about you. I catch a new vision of you. I see you as a child of light. I see you guided and directed by an inward Spirit that leads you unerringly into the path that is right for you. I see you strong and whole; I see you blessed and prospered; I see you courageous and confident; I see you capable and successful. I see you free from limitation or bondage of any kind. I see you as the spiritually perfect being you truly are. Child of Light, I Bless You.
My God, I don't know you personally, but love you all and am hoping everything good for you!!! You have set the bar of human behaviour and class so high, we all could learn so much from you!
Andrew you are going to beat this thing!! Sending much love to you and your beautiful family from Oklahoma, The Cowling Family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You all continue to be in my heart and prayers. I am an 8 year ovarian cancer survivor, having recurred twice since my initial diagnosis. I consider it a chronic disease and something I just have to live with. If your tumor cannot be cured, like my cancer, I hope at the very least you can keep the cancer at bay long enough to enjoy periods of "normalcy" before you have to treat again. I myself and in a reprieve period between treatments. Bless gs to you all. ❤️💛💙💜💚
My thoughts and prayers are with your sweet family. I can't tell you how much you have helped and encouraged me over the years with your beautiful podcasts that you have selflessly given us all. Praying for healing, and indeed a miracle! Our God is in that business! Much love and affection from the Great Smoky Mountains of east Tennessee
Not a day has passed that I have not been thinking about you! Your description of the all the prayers working like the radiation beams is very real. All the positivity bundled together in prayers, from all over the world, can only be healing, right? Putting out this video must have been difficult, so I want to thank you for keeping us updated, - we all have you in our hearts, I have you in my heart! It makes me so happy to hear that you received so much support! We will continue to be there. Andrew, I wish you strength and lots of healing energy!
So lovely to receive your update. Was pleased to see Madeline home, so you all draw strength from one another. In spite of Andrew's health challenges, you all are providing an illuminating example of love in an often dark world. Continued prayers for your dear family and all others in the Fruity Knitting family who are struggling with their own battles. Peace be with you.
I love your whole family, Andrea, Andrew, and Madeline, even though I have never met you, and I am weeping with you right now. Tears are healing, though, so I am grateful. Thank you so much for this beautiful update, and for the beautiful music and scenery at the end as I write this through my glassy tears. I am praying for Andrew’s healing and for the healing of all who are suffering illness, as you said, you who are unknown to the rest of us. I have been suffering a troubling condition since last winter, nothing life threatening, but I’ll be having surgery to correct it soon, and that should be the end of it. And I must say that discovering your podcast through my Zoom knitting group in June or so was such a thrill to my heart during this pandemic! Right away I began watching the episodes from the beginning and soon became a Merino. It blew my mind when I received a video thank-you from Andrew even though you were supposed to be on vacation! Anyway, I am now up to episode 34, and of course I watch the newest episodes as soon as they are released. (Please take all the time you need before releasing another one. You have blessed us with such rich content, surely there is plenty to feast upon in the meantime.) But oh how I pray Andrew will be one of the wonderful survival stories! Oh how I pray for God’s glory that Andrew will be healed and that we will be rejoicing with you all every step of the way! Thank you so very much for being forthright and telling us that your faith is how you are getting through this! Dear Father, I thank you for the witness of Your love through Andrew, Andrea, and Madeline. I thank You that they are leaning upon You during this difficult time. I thank You for providing for their every need and ask You to guide and direct their every step, their every choice and every decision. I ask You to banish all fear and panic and fill them with Your peace. Comfort them, Father, and strengthen them for each new day. Please heal Andrew of the tumor in his brain and destroy all the cancer cells anywhere in his body that may be forming any tumors anywhere. Nourish his body and strengthen him to fight off the illness and to withstand any needed treatment. Strengthen Andrea and Madeline as they minister to Andrew and to each other for the work that You have given them to do in this season of life. Send friends and angels to minister to all of them. And fill each one of the family with Your peace, the peace which surpasses all understanding, and guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, amen.
Your followers and fans love your videos because they are an expression of the wonderful people who make them. Hope and positive thoughts and continued Patreon support from this corner of Maryland. Love you all.
I was too sad to comment last time, but here goes: I actually started watching Fruity Knitting during my own (mental) health crisis, in early 2017. You three were a bright spot in my dark room, and I really want you to know that. So much love, and God Bless
Thanks for sharing today. I had just been telling my husband about Andrew and have become a Patreon. As the wife of a cancer patient, you brought me to tears Andrea as I truly have benefited from the thoughts and prayers of our own support system. As a believer in Christ I will continue to pray for all three of you. I know how hard it can be not just on the patient but the family as well, there will be good days and bad days but there are brighter days ahead. 🙏💗
Madeline, you are such a beautiful young lady, but it is no wonder because you have beautiful parents. They have given me so much joy over the years and I in turn send you all my love and prayers.
Although I am a non believer, I do however wish you all my sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with you and your delightful family at this difficult time. Stay strong and EAT!
Please, please, please don't worry about another episode and do what you three need to do to take care of you all, especially Andrew. While sitting by a blue lake, in the sunshine, knitting yesterday I was thinking of Andrew and sending some of earth's glorious energy. Thinking of nothing but gamma ray-like beams of love. Fern in Minnesota
Sending healing thoughts and prayers to Andrew and wishing Andrea and Madeline strength and courage through this really tough time. All the best to you all.
Andrew you and your family have touched so many hearts. Today, 4 November, is my birthday and my wish on this day is that God will bless you with good health and tons of love and happiness for you and your family. Stay strong and keep the faith and please get better.
I admire your strength Madeline, being young and giving support to your mom and is the best you can do. Andrew, hang in there, angels are with you and we all love you. Andrea, love, may the universe bless you and you know we'll be there for you. You are a beautiful family and you'll all get through. Hugs from Canada ♥️
Yes, when my father had cancer I was not nearly as strong as Madeline. I admire her strength so much. Madeline - when you look at your Dad, look at him like he is still the strong man he was and will be again.
@@charlotte8279 Hello Dukie, I'm sorry for your loss too, I just lost my husband a year ago, but he I'm not sad because life is beautiful and love is what keeps us all going. Lupe
@@lupepedraza8497 I could not agree more with your statement, thankfully my father actually recovered but I feel guilty I was not there in his darkest days. I am sorry to hear about your husband but I love your attitude. May God be with you.
May the prayers and good wishes of all your followers continue to lift you up. We’ll keep praying and thanking God in advance for Andrew’s return to full health. Much love to you.🙏💕
The loving thoughts and prayers ARE the beams that will destroy the tumor! It hit me the second you said it.!!! 5 years ago, the mother of my girlfriend had an 8 hour surgery on her pancreas. She had cancer. This is a very agressiv kind of cancer. My son, who has sometimes visions (he was only 7 years old then) said on the morning of the surgery, that the mother was going to be o.k. and that we would send her "Pokemon" power. In his childish way he send out those beams of healing and it happened just as he said. My girlfriends mother is still healthy to this day and all her check ups positive. I always imagine Andrew and you Andrea, in your dream home on one of those wonderful Shetland Islands, where you continue doing what you love, from a new home basis so to speak. Now woulnd`t that be so lovely, to see Andrew extreme knitting amongst a herd of sheep on the Islands. :-) Huggs from Rose-Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany.
Continuing to keep you in my prayers. I'm thanking God for all of your lives and the contribution you make to the fiber community. You're all so genuine in your passion towards what you do and I'm so grateful that I came upon your channel. Remain blessed
Close your eyes and imagine those beams of light are all the prayers being offered for healing, strength and recovery. They are offered with much love and care for all of you. God’s blessings to you and His grace to enfold you. ❤️
Please don't worry about the next episode. Your viewers just want to see your beautiful smiling faces. Just think, you have over 50,000 subscribers sending love and prayers to Andrew. We are all focused and zeroing in on all of you. Stay strong and positive - know you are in my thoughts and prayers every day. Miracles do happen :-)
It brings me joy to witness the love between the 3 of you, and the worldwide outpouring love and prayers. You are each tucked up under my heart while you navigate this leg of your life journey. Each day, I beam healing energy your way, Andrew. Please don't spend any time worrying about your next episode. We have so many to savor! Love and Light, Kathleen
Don't feel stressed about getting up another episode. We'll be here when you do and in the meantime will continue to send healing prayers to your lovely family.
I join with you in prayer for Andrew's healing and for strength for all. Your faith in the midst of this hard time is beautiful. May the peace of God, that surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds through Christ.
You are beautiful people...Please know you are in my prayers. I am a Patreon, and every episode is really a treat. Thank you for sharing what you do. Thank you for the update....All three of you make me smile...and cry..at the same time! Much love to you for carrying on with such grace and kindness!
My brother had stage 4 lung cancer twenty years ago. He overcame it to live a good life. Please know we are all hugging you so closely that you won’t fall down. Love and prayers.
God Bless you 🙏. We love you and you all are always in our prayers. You never cease to amaze me...your strength, love, courage, generosity and kindness. You shall overcome ❤️
It was good to see you all together. If planning episodes make you happy, I will always watch 🥰 I have placed an extra bowl of fruit next to my knitting chair, and send up prayers for healing each time I look over or catch the lovely scent of the fruit there. My prayers always extend to those who need them, whether for fortitude or improved health. Love and strength to you all ❤
I totally agree with Malcolm Walker and couldn't say it better ( not only because not English tongued) . You shared and still share your love with some many people! Thank you! Also, you're so brave to share those difficult time with us! 👍🏻 for Andrew!!!
Continuing to lift you up in prayer...for healing, strength, and comfort. May you feel the Lord’s presence each day, and rest in His steadfast love for you. “(Love)...always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Cor. 13:7-8a We are holding on to love and hope with you!
I too lift you Andrew in my prayers. For all 3 of you. Ive Been in your shoes Andrea. Its tough ones to wear. However, the Lord WILL see you through this tragic experience. May he Bless, heal and encourage you.
Your family is so beautiful and have given so much to the knitting community. My prayers for you will continue with positive energy focused to Andrew. Love all you do and admire your relationship. I’ve always thought what a terrific couple you are with a gorgeous daughter. Blessings your way
Thank you for the update. Prayers from East Tennessee, USA. Our knitting family is so vast and "tight knit." I am a medical person and I loved your analogy of the cyber knife therapy to the healing and loving thoughts from your world wide family. Madeline, you are a strong young woman with incredible role models in your parents. Love your new hair style.
Such loving and beautiful statements for all three of you. Of course the prayers will continue for healing and consolation. Yes, Andrea, you’re absolutely right - we’re all connected. Best wishes from me in Brisbane.
Hi. It's so kind of you to update us of Andrew's health. Thanks for that. Your family is in our prayers. Hope Andrew feels better soon and all these symptoms go away soon and he starts his old routine of knitting and traveling. Take care and stay safe. Love and prayers from India.
Prayers continue for y’all. Your daughter is a lovely combination of you both! You’re extremely strong and genuine people. A tribute to your love and respect for each other. Blessings 🙏✝️🧡🧶🧶🧶
Dearest friends, The main prayer in Judaism is the “shaman”. It says Listen Israel, God is our God , God is one”. The belief is that we all, everyone, has a bit of the divine in us and that is “the image of God “ in the idea that we are made in the image of God. and together we are one and that spark of the divine is our source of strength and United we have the power of God. So, I take my spark of the divine to join all of humanity and like Andrea said , together we will heal, because when Andrew or anyone is suffering, we all suffer and work for the healing power of “one” . What a joy that distance makes no difference, it is that love that heals and strengthen. I know that one day Andrew will have a “Bring and Brag” session to celebrate his recovery. So may you have a Bring and Brag session soon to celebrate. Love, Martha
Thank you so much for the update, I hoped it helped you too, and just to say I work for Elekta, the company that makes the Gamma Knife machine, and I'm so happy you're being treated with it, as this is what it is designed for. Love to you all xxx
I only discovered your podcast in December. I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode and have been so touched by the charming and genuine love that radiates out from your relationship. My heart broke when I heard your news and have contributed what I can. I pray for good health and the tender mercies of the Lord for each of you. I am recovering from my second cancer surgery and know that prayers make a difference. God bless.
Thank you for shining your light in the world. I will continue with prayers of thanks for Andrew’s healing. ❤️🙏🏻 You are such a lovely family. All the best. 😊
Thank you all for taking precious time to keep us informed. The grace, courage, and honesty that each of you exhibit is awesome. I continue to offer prayers for strength for you, wisdom in decision making, the confidence in your medical team, and for healing. God’s blessings to you, I hope you can feel all the virtual hugs 🤗 winging across the entire world to embrace you in love and hope. 💛
I commend your family for being open and vulnerable with your private pain. It would be very hard to be in front of the camera and not break down in tears. I hope that Andrew meets his challenge and moves past it. Thank you fruity knitting for introducing me to various professionals around the world and the wonderful traditions of knitting.
I literally just found your channel and am so sorry to hear about this, Andrew. My two youngest siblings both had brain tumors about 10 years ago. The tumors were removed and they are both in good health now. Rest assured we will be praying for your speedy healing. Frankincense oil is known to help shrink tumors. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Praying for you in Israel. I stumbled upon your podcasts a few weeks ago and am absolutely hooked on your wonderful production. Blessings to your beautiful family💜
Have gone through a few tissues...continue to send lots of love and healing prayers. Love the idea of all of our healing thoughts coming together to zap that tumour...... Sending thoughts to anyone who needs them. Love to all............
I had so much good news and blessings today, I was sure this was good news too. So I'll boldly and confidently say "Thank you for healing Andrew, Father" Sending blessings to all of you and others in the community who are in need of some TLC right now.
First let me say how brave and encouraging a video this was to watch. With tears for all 3 of you...lovely family I will be praying for you and the decisions to be made💞 Had taken a hiatus from knitting and all social media since last July and am blessed this one was on my watch list. May God continue to send His love and healing through those in your virtual circle in the coming months, as those past videos watched are a joy for me and many others. Love from your knitting family...Connie
I'm inspired by your response to peoples' stories to tell you my mother's for more encouragement. I'm an Aussie living in Boston, with my 86 yr old Mum in a nursing home in Perth, WA. 3 yrs ago she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Doctors said she'd likely be dead in 3 months after diagnosis without treatment, and with chemo would be paralyzed from the waist down and likely live another year. She ummed a bit, and first was going to allow things to run their course without interfere. Then she changed her mind, did the chemo, did little toe and feet exercises quietly under the blankets, and then progressed to getting herself into her wheelchair on her own, then to a walker doing 1-2 steps, to now 3 years later, walking for 20 mins twice a day with her walker. At her final check- up, the specialist said "I hear from my staff that you are walking. Show me." She stood up and did so; he was at first completely speechless, and finally said "If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it". Don't give up, and continue to love, and live, life. I send prayers your way.
Thank you guys for including me in your knitting life I have been following your story since the beginning when you were on holidays in the little cottage in Wales.I am heartbroken to hear your sad news and I pray for ye and god keep ye strong. I love your hair Madaline and am delighted you are with your Mam and Dad. I am a Grannie and if you ever want to come to the West of Ireland for a holiday we have a holiday house on the coast you are wellcome, we have have to have a plan and thanks for the update. Anne.❤
Praying for Andrew's complete recovery and strength for all three of you! Enjoyed meeting you in Edinburgh.... my husband and I are sending hugs and love your way!
Andrea, don't underestimate the strength you give Andrew, without you..he;d ask himself why should I fight so hard....with you, and your beautiful daughter, his physical energy maybe diminished...but his spiritual energy is fighting hard to stave of what is an horrific nightmare. 'I will Survive' by Gladys Night and the Pips...sing it loud and sing it proud.... you two, this time next year will be sat right where you are, saying Tumour, what tumour.... Not, I will survive - We not only survived, we kicked it into touch... there's a line in the song, .... which says, 'did you think I'd lay down and die! No as long as I know how to live.... i will survive! Yes the song is about lost love, but loss comes in different forms...and the song is very apt! xxx
You remain in my prayers. Since your last podcast, my husband has just been diagnosed with COVID and he and I are in quarantine. He has been quite ill but seems to be improving and I have no symptoms at this time. Life can change in an instant and I have learned, after losing my oldest son to cancer at the age of 15 in February 2000, to be grateful for today and hang on to your faith. God has this!
I continue to pray for you Andrew, God loves you very much and you are very dear to Him, I'm praying for full recovery for you and strength for you and your entire family, may you receive comfort, hope and faith from the Lord in this time all of you. I cover you in prayers. May this trial turn into a glorious testimony which will help many others. Blessings and love.
We are here for you, so please do not worry about creating episodes - just focus on your health.You have become a part of our families. My prayers for you, Andrew, and your family, both there with you and in Australia. May God's healing love heal and restore you to vibrant health. With love.
God bless you Andrew, Andrea and Madeleine. My church are praying for your recovery and send their love. I send mine too, you feel like long time friends to me and my heart aches over this situation. I do believe in positive thinking though and I hold you up to the light Andrew, God keep you safe through your treatment and help you to regain your strength. You are so loved 💗
Continuing to pray for all of you all through this. God will continue to hold you all in love and comfort. Thank you for taking time for the update and as a mother of a daughter Madeline’s age, I am saying special prayers for her.
Thank you for the update - I was thinking of you this morning and wondering how all of you are doing. My thoughts and prayers continue for Andrew's full recovery and also for Andrea and Madeleine for continued strength and health. Your current body of available work is outstanding - don't worry about making any new episodes at this time. I, for one, feel privileged to be able to continue to support you and I'm sure many agree. Blessings.
I love seeing you are together as a family. Our connections with our families and friends are after all the meaning of life. I thank God every day for my family and friends that travel life with me... and I pray that you continue to be blessed in this journey you are on at the moment. I continue to hold you and yours in my thoughts and prayers!
Sending love and will continue to see in my minds eye Andrew sitting next to Andrea when they are both wrinkly and grey. Each still knitting and smiling at each other. Still emitting the grace and kindness you both posses, your all inspirational. I loved the gamma treatment analogy and believe it to be true. Much love Brisbane Australia.
Thank you for the update you have been on my mind heavily since you shared with us the news. My family and friends all know as it was very upsetting and I couldn’t stop saying how sad the news was. They also send love prayers and well wishes. None of them are knitters by the way I’m the only one they got. Lol. We are all indeed connected I cry with you. Staying strong and positive is crucial🙏🏾 healing is happening. xxx
Andrea and Andrew, please don't let there be any pressure to put out an episode right now. You've been giving and giving for quite a while now. It's time to just focus on what y'all need right now. Just soak in the love that's coming your way.
We are all part of the great knitting family world, fruity knitting has brought us all together in a different way. If I can ever do knitting as well as you I would be very happy.
Thank you for the update. I’ve no doubt that Andrea’s tenacious thirst for knowledge will continue to work for your family, bringing you the treatments that will be successful. I send extra thoughts for Andrew’s team of doctors to tailor his treatments with exacting precision. See you on Patreon and in the loving Fruity Knitting Community.
Prayers from Baltimore, Maryland. I think of you often and hope you both can remain strong through this difficult time. I hope the love from the knitting community can lift your spirits and bring you joy. Much love to your family.
Lord, please send an angel to wrap Andrew in its soft wings and give him strength and encouragement during these difficult times he is going through. Give him bravery and confidence during his gamma knife treatments and make the radiation strong and sure in its job. Comfort his family and give them strength and encouragement also. Help Andrew with his appetite and send him yummy thoughts and foods to comfort him. Amen
Amen
💞💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💞💞💞
Amen to that
Amen!
Amen!💗
I am in agreement with your loving thoughts and prayers! Amen.
The person who put the thumb down - they missed the thumbs up because of the tears that were in their eyes. Lots of love and keep your spirits up!
Yes. That might be the case. Another reason could be that they are sorry to hear the news. I was going to put a thumbs down for the latter reason, but did otherwise. =)
Very well said!
Thumb down? I missed that. Who the hell are these heartless jerks?
@@postulatedspace they are probably thumb- downing the illness itself. Everyone surely prays for the best.
that was just a cat or bird, don't worry, they are just very jealous walking across mom's keyboard! ugggh
This is such a strange medium; I have never met you but you’ve been in my home, had tea with me, chatted with me, laughed with me. You feel like dear friends and I pray for you all, for Andrew’s health of course but also for strength and courage and patience for Andrea and Madeline. Being with someone you love as they face something like this is so challenging. Sometimes all you can do is just get through the next 15 minutes, then the next. In those ‘15 minutes’ moments remember that (global audience that you have) even if it’s 4AM your time, no doubt someone somewhere is holding you in their thoughts so you’re never alone.
I agree, watching this at 6am in Ireland. Stay strong you are never alone
You said it! There is always someone lifting you up to God for healing, round the clock!
Yes.
Praying for you. 10:50 a.m. in the USA.
Yes definitely, I have been sending healing thoughts all day today for you all.....You came into my life in 2016 when life was very dark... even though I am a hopeless knitter I love everything about your wonderful informative podcasts.
I taught myself to knit as I am left handed and have had to watch everything in a mirror to see how to do many things. Lol! I want to make something with more than one colour and would love to make a full wearable garment one day... it is too hot in Qld for wool so I like Cotton.
Andrew’s knitting progress over the years has been inspirational to me. I do Crochet, but Fair-isle would be fun to learn one day. 🤪
All the best to you all, stay strong from Australia 🇦🇺 xxxx
You three beautiful souls - epitomizing grace and love and generosity of spirit. We're thinking of you all the time and sending healing energy your way. Please don't worry about new episodes unless working is a welcome distraction. We'll all be here when Andrew is well again.
My thoughts are with you at this sad time. You have a beautiful loving family Andrew. I wish you a full recovery. Thank you to you and Andria for an amazing programme best wishes north shropshire England
The odds are just odds, people defy them all the time, especially people who are relentlessly positive. I have every confidence that Andrew will make a full recovery, but I will keep you all in my heart anyway. Thank you for dropping an update so soon after your last video, I know I'm a stranger, but I consider all three of you (and Jack) friends and I worry as much as any friend would.
I with you they are special to us despite never meeting friends indeed
Same from me! Im so glad you said that much more eloquently than I could have!
My mother had a brain tumour and tumour behind her eyes. She got tired of medical treatments. She just decided to have a faith in God and live life. She was given about 6 months to live but she lived for another 10 years. Miracles happen Andrew and Andrea. I pray for you. I shall always be your patron. Sending you lots of love from New York City.
Wonderful story
So sad Really sad what a lovelyFamily
Prayers from Norway. I have been thinking of you a lot. When the last video was published, I was together with a lot of Norwegian knitting-podcasters on a mini-festival. We were a group at a table who watched the video together and almost stopped breathing for a while when we heard the news. It was very strange, because we had been talking about the knitting world and the world of podcast, and I had talked about you in a lecture the same evening (a kind of "the history of knitting podcast) and mentioned you as the most professional and that you are like television in quality. We love you and hope for the best! Take care and don't hurry to make a new episode. Digital hugs from Merete
How beautiful. I feel this from the UK too. Prayers and love, Vivien xx
Thank you Merete
As a nurse I was really hopeful that you would be a candidate for the gamma knife. The fact that you are in Germany really gives you an edge because the level of medical care there is unsurpassed. The gamma knife has been a total game changer in inoperable tumors. Smoothies are a really good way to get your nutrition Especially if you add a little spirulina Which will help keep your immune system together. I pray for all of you especially Andrea who I think has A highly developed sense of Empathy for other people. I'm glad Madeline was able to come home for a little while I was wondering if she would be able to. I feel like I know you all because you've been so open with your lives. you have my continued little bit of support and my prayers and good thoughts for strength and healing. God holds us all in the palm of his hand and keeps those closest to him in his sight.
I am in the USA and in our stores we have nutritional drinks with lots of essential vitamins and minerals. One brand is Boost, but I'm sure there are others. But it may be a game changer for Andrew's loss of appetite. With love & prayers.
You are both in our thoughts and we are rooting for Andrew. ❤️❤️
Be careful using that word beginning with r because for people down under it is like using the f word - though I’m sure they understood what you meant ;)
@@mellibee100 well, for us in Canada we know exactly what rooting for someone means (good things) . So Arne & Carlos, we are praying for healing for Andrew also.
@@mellibee100 I'm a Canadian with a a good heart, nothing rude here.
I’m a new viewer and I’m praying for you Andrew for complete healing. May the Lord bless you and keep you and make his face shine upon you. Amen 🙏🏻
Isaiah 40:31 - But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Amen
💞💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💞💞💞
Amen 🙏🙏🙌🙌🤲🤲🤲
Yes! This!
This is a very healing verse and I speak it over Andrew and all the family as I read it. I know it by heart so it has become my prayer for you. Amen
For all who are in need, we pray 🙏 keep us firm in faith Lord 🙏
Andrea what a great idea about sharing all the loving thoughts with all those in need. We love you all, and praise God from who all blessings flow and for miracles both seen and unseen.
Prayers from Scotland. I became disabled with a neurological condition 6 years ago. I taught myself to crochet. With lockdown I challenged myself to up my crochet game, then when that was completed I upped my knitting game by trying my first cable jumper ( for my old dog) I hope to try colour work and knitting in the round next. I've got the knitting bug! I discovered your channel when you announced Andrews health condition. You have been in my thoughts and prayers since. I look forward to working my way through the episodes and learning lots.
Sending love and healing prayers to all three of you. My friend's mother had the gamma knife treatment two different times for inoperable brain tumors and is still with us. There is hope. You have many prayer warriors at work for you.
Child of Light, I Bless you!
I think of you, I pray for you,
not in terms of what I think you need,
or what I think you should do or be or express.
I lift up my thoughts about you.
I catch a new vision of you.
I see you as a child of light.
I see you guided and directed by an inward Spirit
that leads you unerringly into the path that is right for you.
I see you strong and whole; I see you blessed and prospered;
I see you courageous and confident; I see you capable and successful.
I see you free from limitation or bondage of any kind.
I see you as the spiritually perfect being you truly are.
Child of Light, I Bless You.
Amen
Amen ☀️ ❣️
AMEN! 🤍❤
My God, I don't know you personally, but love you all and am hoping everything good for you!!! You have set the bar of human behaviour and class so high, we all could learn so much from you!
Still praying for you from Nicaragua. God is in control and He loves Andrew more than anyone. Pray to see God's love in this difficult time.
Andrew you are going to beat this thing!! Sending much love to you and your beautiful family from Oklahoma, The Cowling Family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You all continue to be in my heart and prayers. I am an 8 year ovarian cancer survivor, having recurred twice since my initial diagnosis. I consider it a chronic disease and something I just have to live with. If your tumor cannot be cured, like my cancer, I hope at the very least you can keep the cancer at bay long enough to enjoy periods of "normalcy" before you have to treat again. I myself and in a reprieve period between treatments. Bless gs to you all. ❤️💛💙💜💚
My thoughts and prayers are with your sweet family. I can't tell you how much you have helped and encouraged me over the years with your beautiful podcasts that you have selflessly given us all. Praying for healing, and indeed a miracle! Our God is in that business! Much love and affection from the Great Smoky Mountains of east Tennessee
I've had your family in my prayers since you told us about the tumor.
You are all so loved by so many people. I glad I’m one of them.
Not a day has passed that I have not been thinking about you! Your description of the all the prayers working like the radiation beams is very real. All the positivity bundled together in prayers, from all over the world, can only be healing, right? Putting out this video must have been difficult, so I want to thank you for keeping us updated, - we all have you in our hearts, I have you in my heart! It makes me so happy to hear that you received so much support! We will continue to be there. Andrew, I wish you strength and lots of healing energy!
Thank you Karin
My prayers from Ohio USA! Love your podcasts! But your lovely family is the Heart of it!❤️❤️
So lovely to receive your update. Was pleased to see Madeline home, so you all draw strength from one another. In spite of Andrew's health challenges, you all are providing an illuminating example of love in an often dark world. Continued prayers for your dear family and all others in the Fruity Knitting family who are struggling with their own battles. Peace be with you.
I love your whole family, Andrea, Andrew, and Madeline, even though I have never met you, and I am weeping with you right now. Tears are healing, though, so I am grateful. Thank you so much for this beautiful update, and for the beautiful music and scenery at the end as I write this through my glassy tears. I am praying for Andrew’s healing and for the healing of all who are suffering illness, as you said, you who are unknown to the rest of us. I have been suffering a troubling condition since last winter, nothing life threatening, but I’ll be having surgery to correct it soon, and that should be the end of it. And I must say that discovering your podcast through my Zoom knitting group in June or so was such a thrill to my heart during this pandemic! Right away I began watching the episodes from the beginning and soon became a Merino. It blew my mind when I received a video thank-you from Andrew even though you were supposed to be on vacation! Anyway, I am now up to episode 34, and of course I watch the newest episodes as soon as they are released. (Please take all the time you need before releasing another one. You have blessed us with such rich content, surely there is plenty to feast upon in the meantime.) But oh how I pray Andrew will be one of the wonderful survival stories! Oh how I pray for God’s glory that Andrew will be healed and that we will be rejoicing with you all every step of the way! Thank you so very much for being forthright and telling us that your faith is how you are getting through this! Dear Father, I thank you for the witness of Your love through Andrew, Andrea, and Madeline. I thank You that they are leaning upon You during this difficult time. I thank You for providing for their every need and ask You to guide and direct their every step, their every choice and every decision. I ask You to banish all fear and panic and fill them with Your peace. Comfort them, Father, and strengthen them for each new day. Please heal Andrew of the tumor in his brain and destroy all the cancer cells anywhere in his body that may be forming any tumors anywhere. Nourish his body and strengthen him to fight off the illness and to withstand any needed treatment. Strengthen Andrea and Madeline as they minister to Andrew and to each other for the work that You have given them to do in this season of life. Send friends and angels to minister to all of them. And fill each one of the family with Your peace, the peace which surpasses all understanding, and guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, amen.
Amen
I am in total agreement with your beautiful prayer! Amen.
I ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Thank you for the beautiful prayer.
Your followers and fans love your videos because they are an expression of the wonderful people who make them. Hope and positive thoughts and continued Patreon support from this corner of Maryland. Love you all.
I was too sad to comment last time, but here goes: I actually started watching Fruity Knitting during my own (mental) health crisis, in early 2017. You three were a bright spot in my dark room, and I really want you to know that. So much love, and God Bless
Thank you
Thanks for sharing today. I had just been telling my husband about Andrew and have become a Patreon. As the wife of a cancer patient, you brought me to tears Andrea as I truly have benefited from the thoughts and prayers of our own support system. As a believer in Christ I will continue to pray for all three of you. I know how hard it can be not just on the patient but the family as well, there will be good days and bad days but there are brighter days ahead. 🙏💗
Madeline, you are such a beautiful young lady, but it is no wonder because you have beautiful parents. They have given me so much joy over the years and I in turn send you all my love and prayers.
Although I am a non believer, I do however wish you all my sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with you and your delightful family at this difficult time. Stay strong and EAT!
Please, please, please don't worry about another episode and do what you three need to do to take care of you all, especially Andrew. While sitting by a blue lake, in the sunshine, knitting yesterday I was thinking of Andrew and sending some of earth's glorious energy. Thinking of nothing but gamma ray-like beams of love. Fern in Minnesota
Sending healing thoughts and prayers to Andrew and wishing Andrea and Madeline strength and courage through this really tough time. All the best to you all.
Andrew you and your family have touched so many hearts. Today, 4 November, is my birthday and my wish on this day is that God will bless you with good health and tons of love and happiness for you and your family. Stay strong and keep the faith and please get better.
I admire your strength Madeline, being young and giving support to your mom and is the best you can do. Andrew, hang in there, angels are with you and we all love you. Andrea, love, may the universe bless you and you know we'll be there for you. You are a beautiful family and you'll all get through. Hugs from Canada ♥️
Yes, when my father had cancer I was not nearly as strong as Madeline. I admire her strength so much. Madeline - when you look at your Dad, look at him like he is still the strong man he was and will be again.
@@charlotte8279 Hello Dukie, I'm sorry for your loss too, I just lost my husband a year ago, but he I'm not sad because life is beautiful and love is what keeps us all going. Lupe
@@lupepedraza8497 I could not agree more with your statement, thankfully my father actually recovered but I feel guilty I was not there in his darkest days. I am sorry to hear about your husband but I love your attitude. May God be with you.
@@charlotte8279 thank you Charlotte for your kind words. It's so nice to hear such lovely words and feel the love from a stranger far away 😍
you are such a beautiful family.
May the prayers and good wishes of all your followers continue to lift you up. We’ll keep praying and thanking God in advance for Andrew’s return to full health. Much love to you.🙏💕
The loving thoughts and prayers ARE the beams that will destroy the tumor! It hit me the second you said it.!!!
5 years ago, the mother of my girlfriend had an 8 hour surgery on her pancreas. She had cancer. This is a very agressiv kind of cancer. My son, who has sometimes visions (he was only 7 years old then) said on the morning of the surgery, that the mother was going to be o.k. and that we would send her "Pokemon" power. In his childish way he send out those beams of healing and it happened just as he said. My girlfriends mother is still healthy to this day and all her check ups positive.
I always imagine Andrew and you Andrea, in your dream home on one of those wonderful Shetland Islands, where you continue doing what you love, from a new home basis so to speak. Now woulnd`t that be so lovely, to see Andrew extreme knitting amongst a herd of sheep on the Islands. :-)
Huggs from Rose-Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany.
Continuing to keep you in my prayers. I'm thanking God for all of your lives and the contribution you make to the fiber community. You're all so genuine in your passion towards what you do and I'm so grateful that I came upon your channel. Remain blessed
Close your eyes and imagine those beams of light are all the prayers being offered for healing, strength and recovery. They are offered with much love and care for all of you. God’s blessings to you and His grace to enfold you. ❤️
Please don't worry about the next episode. Your viewers just want to see your beautiful smiling faces.
Just think, you have over 50,000 subscribers sending love and prayers to Andrew. We are all focused and zeroing in on all of you.
Stay strong and positive - know you are in my thoughts and prayers every day.
Miracles do happen :-)
Thanks for the update! God can heal in the most unbelievable ways and I pray He will heal you, Andrew!
It brings me joy to witness the love between the 3 of you, and the worldwide outpouring love and prayers. You are each tucked up under my heart while you navigate this leg of your life journey. Each day, I beam healing energy your way, Andrew.
Please don't spend any time worrying about your next episode. We have so many to savor!
Love and Light, Kathleen
Don't feel stressed about getting up another episode. We'll be here when you do and in the meantime will continue to send healing prayers to your lovely family.
I join with you in prayer for Andrew's healing and for strength for all. Your faith in the midst of this hard time is beautiful. May the peace of God, that surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds through Christ.
Thank you for that beautiful, loving and gentle update. It’s such a privilege to join your family in this way and in Jesus name. All love.
Prayers are arising for ANDREW and the whole family from a religious Hermit in the US
You are beautiful people...Please know you are in my prayers. I am a Patreon, and every episode is really a treat. Thank you for sharing what you do. Thank you for the update....All three of you make me smile...and cry..at the same time! Much love to you for carrying on with such grace and kindness!
surrounding you all with my love and healing from Ireland
My brother had stage 4 lung cancer twenty years ago. He overcame it to live a good life. Please know we are all hugging you so closely that you won’t fall down. Love and prayers.
God Bless you 🙏. We love you and you all are always in our prayers. You never cease to amaze me...your strength, love, courage, generosity and kindness.
You shall overcome ❤️
It was good to see you all together. If planning episodes make you happy, I will always watch 🥰 I have placed an extra bowl of fruit next to my knitting chair, and send up prayers for healing each time I look over or catch the lovely scent of the fruit there. My prayers always extend to those who need them, whether for fortitude or improved health. Love and strength to you all ❤
I totally agree with Malcolm Walker and couldn't say it better ( not only because not English tongued) .
You shared and still share your love with some many people! Thank you! Also, you're so brave to share those difficult time with us! 👍🏻 for Andrew!!!
Continuing to lift you up in prayer...for healing, strength, and comfort. May you feel the Lord’s presence each day, and rest in His steadfast love for you. “(Love)...always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Cor. 13:7-8a We are holding on to love and hope with you!
Amen
I too lift you Andrew in my prayers. For all 3 of you. Ive Been in your shoes Andrea. Its tough ones to wear. However, the Lord WILL see you through this tragic experience. May he Bless, heal and encourage you.
Amen!
Your family is so beautiful and have given so much to the knitting community. My prayers for you will continue with positive energy focused to Andrew. Love all you do and admire your relationship. I’ve always thought what a terrific couple you are with a gorgeous daughter. Blessings your way
Thank you for the update. Prayers from East Tennessee, USA. Our knitting family is so vast and "tight knit." I am a medical person and I loved your analogy of the cyber knife therapy to the healing and loving thoughts from your world wide family. Madeline, you are a strong young woman with incredible role models in your parents. Love your new hair style.
In an often dark world people like you shine brightly. Know that you are loved. Julia
Such loving and beautiful statements for all three of you. Of course the prayers will continue for healing and consolation. Yes, Andrea, you’re absolutely right - we’re all connected. Best wishes from me in Brisbane.
Hi. It's so kind of you to update us of Andrew's health. Thanks for that. Your family is in our prayers. Hope Andrew feels better soon and all these symptoms go away soon and he starts his old routine of knitting and traveling. Take care and stay safe. Love and prayers from India.
Prayers continue for y’all. Your daughter is a lovely combination of you both! You’re extremely strong and genuine people. A tribute to your love and respect for each other. Blessings 🙏✝️🧡🧶🧶🧶
Dearest friends, The main prayer in Judaism is the “shaman”. It says Listen Israel, God is our God , God is one”. The belief is that we all, everyone, has a bit of the divine in us and that is “the image of God “ in the idea that we are made in the image of God. and together we are one and that spark of the divine is our source of strength and United we have the power of God. So, I take my spark of the divine to join all of humanity and like Andrea said , together we will heal, because when Andrew or anyone is suffering, we all suffer and work for the healing power of “one” . What a joy that distance makes no difference, it is that love that heals and strengthen. I know that one day Andrew will have a “Bring and Brag” session to celebrate his recovery. So may you have a Bring and Brag session soon to celebrate. Love, Martha
Such a beautiful family. Such warmth & love. So rare. Sending love from Oregon, USA.
Thank you so much for the update, I hoped it helped you too, and just to say I work for Elekta, the company that makes the Gamma Knife machine, and I'm so happy you're being treated with it, as this is what it is designed for. Love to you all xxx
I only discovered your podcast in December. I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode and have been so touched by the charming and genuine love that radiates out from your relationship. My heart broke when I heard your news and have contributed what I can. I pray for good health and the tender mercies of the Lord for each of you. I am recovering from my second cancer surgery and know that prayers make a difference. God bless.
Bless you Andrew and your lovely family.
Thank you for shining your light in the world. I will continue with prayers of thanks for Andrew’s healing. ❤️🙏🏻 You are such a lovely family. All the best. 😊
Thank you all for taking precious time to keep us informed. The grace, courage, and honesty that each of you exhibit is awesome. I continue to offer prayers for strength for you, wisdom in decision making, the confidence in your medical team, and for healing. God’s blessings to you, I hope you can feel all the virtual hugs 🤗 winging across the entire world to embrace you in love and hope. 💛
I commend your family for being open and vulnerable with your private pain. It would be very hard to be in front of the camera and not break down in tears. I hope that Andrew meets his challenge and moves past it. Thank you fruity knitting for introducing me to various professionals around the world and the wonderful traditions of knitting.
I literally just found your channel and am so sorry to hear about this, Andrew. My two youngest siblings both had brain tumors about 10 years ago. The tumors were removed and they are both in good health now. Rest assured we will be praying for your speedy healing. Frankincense oil is known to help shrink tumors. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Praying for you in Israel. I stumbled upon your podcasts a few weeks ago and am absolutely hooked on your wonderful production. Blessings to your beautiful family💜
Have gone through a few tissues...continue to send lots of love and healing prayers. Love the idea of all of our healing thoughts coming together to zap that tumour......
Sending thoughts to anyone who needs them. Love to all............
God Bless u Andrew! Thank you for allowing all your followers on your journey!
I had so much good news and blessings today, I was sure this was good news too. So I'll boldly and confidently say "Thank you for healing Andrew, Father" Sending blessings to all of you and others in the community who are in need of some TLC right now.
First let me say how brave and encouraging a video this was to watch. With tears for all 3 of you...lovely family I will be praying for you and the decisions to be made💞 Had taken a hiatus from knitting and all social media since last July and am blessed this one was on my watch list. May God continue to send His love and healing through those in your virtual circle in the coming months, as those past videos watched are a joy for me and many others. Love from your knitting family...Connie
Attitude is everything. There is no "if" he gets better. Only when.
That's right!
I'm inspired by your response to peoples' stories to tell you my mother's for more encouragement. I'm an Aussie living in Boston, with my 86 yr old Mum in a nursing home in Perth, WA. 3 yrs ago she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Doctors said she'd likely be dead in 3 months after diagnosis without treatment, and with chemo would be paralyzed from the waist down and likely live another year. She ummed a bit, and first was going to allow things to run their course without interfere. Then she changed her mind, did the chemo, did little toe and feet exercises quietly under the blankets, and then progressed to getting herself into her wheelchair on her own, then to a walker doing 1-2 steps, to now 3 years later, walking for 20 mins twice a day with her walker. At her final check- up, the specialist said "I hear from my staff that you are walking. Show me." She stood up and did so; he was at first completely speechless, and finally said "If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it". Don't give up, and continue to love, and live, life. I send prayers your way.
Praying Jesus wraps his arms around all of you and grants you peace and rest in Him
I’m just hearing this. Maggie Smith expressed my thoughts as well. My heart and prayer is with you. ❤️❤️❤️
And mine as well! I am keeping you, all three of you, in my prayers every day!!!
💞💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💞💞💞
Thank you guys for including me in your knitting life I have been following your story since the beginning when you were on holidays in the little cottage in Wales.I am heartbroken to hear your sad news and I pray for ye and god keep ye strong. I love your hair Madaline and am delighted you are with your Mam and Dad. I am a Grannie and if you ever want to come to the West of Ireland for a holiday we have a holiday house on the coast you are wellcome, we have have to have a plan and thanks for the update. Anne.❤
Amen
Praying for Andrew's complete recovery and strength for all three of you! Enjoyed meeting you in Edinburgh.... my husband and I are sending hugs and love your way!
Andrea, don't underestimate the strength you give Andrew, without you..he;d ask himself why should I fight so hard....with you, and your beautiful daughter, his physical energy maybe diminished...but his spiritual energy is fighting hard to stave of what is an horrific nightmare. 'I will Survive' by Gladys Night and the Pips...sing it loud and sing it proud.... you two, this time next year will be sat right where you are, saying Tumour, what tumour....
Not, I will survive - We not only survived, we kicked it into touch... there's a line in the song, .... which says, 'did you think I'd lay down and die! No as long as I know how to live.... i will survive!
Yes the song is about lost love, but loss comes in different forms...and the song is very apt!

You remain in my prayers. Since your last podcast, my husband has just been diagnosed with COVID and he and I are in quarantine. He has been quite ill but seems to be improving and I have no symptoms at this time. Life can change in an instant and I have learned, after losing my oldest son to cancer at the age of 15 in February 2000, to be grateful for today and hang on to your faith. God has this!
I continue to pray for you Andrew, God loves you very much and you are very dear to Him, I'm praying for full recovery for you and strength for you and your entire family, may you receive comfort, hope and faith from the Lord in this time all of you. I cover you in prayers. May this trial turn into a glorious testimony which will help many others. Blessings and love.
We are here for you, so please do not worry about creating episodes - just focus on your health.You have become a part of our families. My prayers for you, Andrew, and your family, both there with you and in Australia. May God's healing love heal and restore you to vibrant health. With love.

Blessings.
I love seeing you are together as a family. Our connections with our families and friends are after all the meaning of life.

I continue to hold you and yours in my thoughts and prayers!
Always in my thoughts and prayers. 🧡
Healing love and light from NJ, USA.
❤❤❤
Sending love and will continue to see in my minds eye Andrew sitting next to Andrea when they are both wrinkly and grey. Each still knitting and smiling at each other. Still emitting the grace and kindness you both posses, your all inspirational. I loved the gamma treatment analogy and believe it to be true. Much love Brisbane Australia.
Prayers to your family and medical team from Indiana, USA. As a twelve year cancer survivor, never lose hope. Much love 💗
Thank you for the update you have been on my mind heavily since you shared with us the news. My family and friends all know as it was very upsetting and I couldn’t stop saying how sad the news was. They also send love prayers and well wishes. None of them are knitters by the way I’m the only one they got. Lol. We are all indeed connected I cry with you. Staying strong and positive is crucial🙏🏾 healing is happening. xxx
Oh that made me smile at @14:57. God bless you. Wonderful, amazing family.
Praying for Andrew daily, and holding your whole family in my thoughts, sending you all love, always.
Andrea and Andrew, please don't let there be any pressure to put out an episode right now. You've been giving and giving for quite a while now. It's time to just focus on what y'all need right now. Just soak in the love that's coming your way.
Our continued love and continued prayers for daily strength peace and hope for your daily life with your loved ones🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😍
We are all part of the great knitting family world, fruity knitting has brought us all together in a different way. If I can ever do knitting as well as you I would be very happy.
Thank you for the update. I’ve no doubt that Andrea’s tenacious thirst for knowledge will continue to work for your family, bringing you the treatments that will be successful. I send extra thoughts for Andrew’s team of doctors to tailor his treatments with exacting precision. See you on Patreon and in the loving Fruity Knitting Community.
Prayers from Baltimore, Maryland. I think of you often and hope you both can remain strong through this difficult time. I hope the love from the knitting community can lift your spirits and bring you joy. Much love to your family.
Sending healing energy to the whole family.
There is no greater power than love. Andrew, all the best for you and your family.
