I could continue on and on about people and how precious they are to me these days. My sister's graduating class got the news of a tragically unexpected death of a classmate this week. She leaves behind a husband and three small children.
None of us know what today will bring. As I've been given time to prepare for my death, I want to try to use it wisely. Although I'll need time with God, my family and to rest, I'll also want to spend time with you. Please be patient with me as I figure these priorities out.
Every moment of life and time are precious. Grow & invest as much as possible.
Such truth so beautifully written.... And how beautiful you are my dear friend and sister. Xo

ReplyDeleteYou have touched so many peoples lives, by your life and testament to God through your writing. That mark will never go.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the time you've already spent with us. You've touched many people more deeply than you will ever know. "Well done, good and faithful servant". May your days be sweet, your rest be comfortable and may His joy be your strength.
ReplyDeleteI met you and your husband this past Monday in the waiting area of the oncology department. You both petted my tail waggling dog and I hope this gave you some comfort if even for a few minutes only. You shared your story and allowed me to give both of you an embrace. I will never forget that. I will also never forget your beautiful smile. It radiates and is a special gift for the people around you. You gave me your blog business card and I've read every single word. We share a common attitude to life and to dealing with all that comes with facing this disease, including acceptance. It doesn't make it easier though and I wish we could fix it and take away the pain. But that's not always how it works so we build memories and live life the best way we can. You will never really be gone as you will always remain in the hearts of your husband, your little boy and all those others that are privileged to know and love you. If only you could be a fly on the wall eh! I am not a religious person but I will pray for you. Strength, love and tenderness (a miracle would be appreciated as well). Thank you for sharing a few minutes of your precious time with me this week. I wish I would have gotten to know you both earlier.
ReplyDeleteContinuing to pray for you my friend, it was good to see you at church a week ago. You are leaving a lasting legacy in the hearts and minds of all that know you and love you! Praying your priorities are blessed!
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing woman, so strong in the faith of our Lord. I cry every time I read your posts. I pray for you and your family often. You are loved by so many and as Debbie writes you are leaving a lasting legacy to all. May the good Lord comfort you today and always Krista
