We received tough news last night that a dear friend of ours has lost her mother. This amazing woman battled cancer and fought such a tough fight until the end. She was a sweet woman who had many parallels to my own life: she was a mother to many, she had a strong marriage, she was a teacher, and she was so caring to all! It hurts me to think of my friend having to go through life without her mother physically here with her. BUT as I have said in the past: There is a new angel in heaven to watch over those she loved. May God bless the whole family and help them to find peace in the new way of life.
We also got good news about our friends who are down in Florida with their daughter they are adopting. Brianna was born to a young mother who had been trying to get off drugs while she was pregnant. Unfortunately the baby was affected and is having to go through with drawls. I am feeling rather connected to this family since the new mommy, Tracey was diagnosed with Breast Cancer only a few months after I was and we were in Junior High and High School together. Keith has even gone to school since Grade school with her. We were able to cheer each other on throughout our journeys and now to know that she has been able to make her dream of being a mom come true is so amazing to me!!! I can only wish the entire family all the happiness and enjoyment in life with children!
I am also finally feeling better! The unbelievable pain has subsided and I am able to accomplish some of my To-Do-List that I have for myself before surgery. It is a good day for me!
Please pray for all to find the peace they need!
