Description
In the bright and cozy wellness room of the Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon, two best friends, Celine and Rev, sat side by side. Despite the challenges of their treatments, the girls found solace and joy in their shared love for drawing. Today, they decided to create something special—two cats that resembled their unbreakable bond. Celine, with her gentle hands, began sketching the outline of the cats. “This one’s you,” she said, pointing to the cat sitting tall with vibrant orange and yellow patches. “You’re always standing” Rev giggled, her eyes twinkling. “And this one is you,” she replied, adding details to the cat lounging comfortably in the pot, its fur a mix of earthy tones with hints of black and orange. “You like to sit around.” They carefully painted the cats, choosing colors that mirrored their personalities. The bright cat had eyes of vivid yellow, reflecting Celine’s hopeful spirit, while the relaxed cat had a soft, knowing gaze, embodying Rev’s wise and nurturing nature. Around them, they added leaves and flowers, symbolizing their growth and the beauty of their friendship. As they worked, they talked about their dreams and hopes, finding strength in each other’s presence. The wellness room, filled with the hum of creativity and quiet conversations, was their sanctuary—a place where they could forget their worries for a while and just be kids. When they finished, they held up their masterpiece. The two cats, intertwined and surrounded by blossoms, were a perfect representation of Celine and Rev. Their friendship, much like the drawing, was colorful, resilient, and full of life. For Celine and Rev, it was a symbol of their journey together—one of hope, courage, and unwavering support.
