These are not my best cookies but are definitely some of the more meaningful I have done in a while, so I thought I would share them.  One of my nephews just turned 21. He has struggled with addiction and has cystic fibrosis.  This past year, his lung collapsed twice.  He is now 7 months sober despite everything and the backdrop of the pandemic. He is currently living in a sober living house and finally feels hopeful. I am so proud of and inspired by him.
I wanted to send cookies but really struggled with the design!  There aren’t so many appropriate designs floating around out there.  I finally figured out  something straight forward to go with, even though my penmanship is horrific.
Since the current Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge includes packaging, I packaged them separately so he can share them with his housemates.

Oh, so grateful to God for your nephew’s life! Absolutely inspiring ♥️
Your cookies are spot on👏👏♥️

Thank you dear Heather.  It was a challenge to think of something but I'm happy with the result. ❤️

Dear Lisa @LisaF, what a wonderful way to celebrate one of your nephews' birthdays! You've created such a meaningful way of acknowledging his triumphs by including iconic images of strength (muscled arm) and love (heart). A perfect blending for commemorating such an important milestone in his life.

What a time of joy for your entire family. May God bless you all. If your nephew has inherited the character traits I've "seen" in you, he is well on the way to a fulfilling, loving and strong life. Sending this cookie is so like you with your big heart dear Lisa ❤️❤️❤️ Lots of Hugs....

That is so thoughtful of you. He, too, should be proud of how far he has come. ❤️

Thanks Christine. I believe he is. Instead of the traditional 21st birthday celebration, my sister took him skydiving. He loved it and was so grateful for the experience. All great steps.😁❤️

Thank you so much for your lovely words Carol. I’m optimistic about and hopeful for him. He loved the cookies and shared them with his housemates. It was nice to spread the love and encouragement. ❤️😘🍪🙏🏻
