My husband, Clinton, and I were married for 68 years and raised four children. After he died, I was so lonesome I didn’t know what to do. Until I read a magazine article about Knitted Knockers—soft, comfortable prosthetics for women who have undergone mastectomies. The knockers are light and can be slipped into a regular bra. Volunteers around the world make and donate them to breast cancer survivors.

I like to knit and have made everything from baby booties to snuggly long johns. What’s more, a lady from our church had recently had a double mastectomy. Would she like some knockers? I wondered. I whipped up a pair. And wow! She loved them so much, she thanked me three times…and asked for more!
