Quite often, my personal life dictates the posts on Cutting for Business. I think that is true of any blogger, and today is no different. I’m sad to say that one of the blog’s biggest fans and avid readers is losing his battle with cancer. That reader is my dad. While he never comments – and has never used a Silhouette or Cricut – he reads every post.
Dad, today we celebrate your life with a free commercial use cut file. Feel free to use the file for selling items, but please consider donating a portion of sales using this design to a cancer research fund.
I also have another cancer cut file on the blog at this link. Don’t forget, you can easily change the ribbon colors on all the files for any cancers you need.
Update: My dad ultimately lost his battle with colon cancer. My dad and I both appreciated all the thoughts and prayers. Read more at this link.

My heart goes out to you. I lost my beautiful Momma when I was only 14 years old. That was 32 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her. Cancer takes away so many people in the prime of their life. Sending my prayers and condolences for the loss of your Dad.

So sorry to hear the news about your Dad :( My father was just diagnosed with cancer last week and it's heart breaking. They are our best cheerleaders. Thank you for the reminder to cheer for him now and help him fight till the end.

Thank you Adriana, best of luck to your dad - and take care of yourself. I've found the best way to help is to take care of myself first. :)
