In February of 2006, Lindsay and I launched the Perfect Post Awards in order to share personally captivating posts within a supportive community of talented bloggers like you.
If you’d like to present an award next month, e-mail me and I’ll send you the latest award button code a few days before the 1st. If you’re interested in looking through our past award posts, they can be found here. Thanks to each and every one of you for making the Perfect Post Awards such a great success!!
Midwestern Mommy for Cancer
I chose this post for more than the obvious reason. MM needs the whole online community in her corner right now sending good thoughts and prayers.

“Cancer. That word scares the hell out of most people — especially those who’ve watched loved ones battle such an evil, unyielding force. The mere mention of the word has always made me shiver. But yesterday one of my biggest fears were realized. Yesterday I found out that I have cancer too.”
The way in which she shared her diagnosis with her readers, while lying in her hospital bed, not knowing what she’s staring at exactly amazed me. I would not have been able to speak much less type. And yet she was able to end her post with a smile.
Please go and share a smile with her today. You have extra, don’t you?
