Bee Optimistic Knitted SweaterWalt Kotecki (aka Jasons dad) dressed up like a bee to tell his family he had cancer. (Read the crazy story here.) Inspired by his fathers positive attitude, Jason made him a painting featuring the friendly insect and the message, Bee Optimistic. His dad requested the art be made into a pin that he could wear every day. Since then, Walt has purchased hundreds of pins, handing them out to anyone he meets who has been touched by the shadow of cancer.

But it certainly isn’t “nothing

ANY food could be substituted in the equation: chicken nuggets

it can never be made to look new again
