about a month ago i found out that a girl i grew up with has a rare form of an aggresive cancer that isn't or doesn't go into remission. she just turned 30 and is a single mom with 2 kids. today we went to a benifit fund raiser for her family and children. it was amazing how many ppl turned out for the event.
they had it at this small VFW hall in our area and there wasnt a place to sit. the 50/50 raffels alone raised 1600 bux. i was so moved. and then she showed up. it was so moving to see her there. she can't see all that well anymore and her hearing is very sensitive, but she is the bravest person i know.
she isn't afraid to die, and isn't feeling sorry for herself. she has amazing faith in the Lord and i admire her for that. don't get me wrong, i too am a firm believer in God. but i don't know that at my age if i were in her shoes i'd not be afriad todie.
i will continue to pray for her and her family until the Lord calls her home. she is so brave and she's going to be remembered and loved forever. so please cherish everything you have and all that you've been blessed with. you never know when it'll be taken from you.
