**CN** My aunt has recently had some serious health issues. She sent an email saying she wished she lived closer so she could help with wedding related things. Should I ask her to do my cardbox (she's amazing at craft projects like this) or take it as a nicety and just say thanks? ***
I have an aunt who has been going though some scary health issues, and just emailed us all an update. In the email, she said that she wants to have her biopsy (they think she might have lymphoma) in mid-April so that she can have time to heal and go to the wedding. She's really looking forward to it.
I emailed her back to ask how everything was going, and she said she wished she lived closer so she could help. Actually she said this:
"I wish I was closer it would be fun to help out. If there is anything I can do let me know."
She is incredibly creative and talented, and my first thought was that I could ask her to do the cardbox. That way she feels involved and gets to help out.
Before I sent the email asking her to, I had second thoughts and was worried that giving her a task right now would be putting a lot on her plate. Maybe she was just being polite??
So what do you think? Should I ask her to do the cardbox for us? Or just take it as a polite sentiment and thank her.
