This story was written by Patricia Theis and her children. Patricia lived in Findlay, Ohio with her husband Matthew and her cat Clarabelle. Patricia was first diagnosed with stage four breast cancer survivor in 2001. Our story was inspired by her real cat Clarabelle and her experiences dealing with others reactions to her throughout her own battle with cancer. She wrote this story with her children to help others.
The Theis family hopes their story about Clarabelle helps children to learn that making fun of others, because of their differences, can be hurtful. Also, they hope children and adults suffering from cancer can find special meaning and comfort in their story.
