I feel for her, and for her family. She has two young children, and a spouse that is hurting too. Prayers for them. The cancer journey just sucks. I hate that word, but it fits the diagnosis. I pray you continue to find gratitude in each of your days. You are brave.

Today it's included: taking breaks at work, classical music on Scala Radio (esp Alexis French's The Last Post), all the bulbs breaking through the soil in my garden, 3 squirrels playing Follow My Leader in the tree canopy.<br />It's not to deny our illness but it is good to look beyond and remember a bigger picture.<br />God blessLiz Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336479507729867159noreply@blogger.com
