I'm so tired but I can't help but tell you about the blessings before my eyes.
Tala and Torryn are sleeping so tenderly. I was watching them sleep and was reminded of how blessed I am. Roy and I have talked so many times of how it could just be a family of 3 right now, not 6. Tala, Takai and myself were miraculously saved from death. Literally.
So looking at them now just brings tears. I'm so grateful to have them. And to be here to be their mommy. I don't take it for granted.
I think of a dear friend that I have never had the pleasure of laying eyes on. We 'met' about 2 months into my/our cancer journey/s. I was pregnant and so was she. I'm a young mom and so is she. Breast cancer for both. Both love the one True God. Our details are almost parallel. Until recently. She is struggling with so much. It started with numbness. It has progressed to more treatment and many more symptoms.
I have not asked her permission to share intimate details, but I know she would covet your prayers. I feel such a kindred spirit with my dear friend. She truly understands all I've gone through. I've understood her road. I love her so. Please pray for her. Pray for her many side effects that are limiting so much of her daily functioning. Please pray for her healing. Please pray for her husband and 3 young children. Oh, just please pray.
As I pray for her, I reflect on what I've been given. Not one thing is taken for granted. Yes, I live with so many repercussions of this horrid disease and I probably always will. But I take absolutely nothing for granted that I've been given.
