Hi Everyone,
My childhood friends Mom is going in for surgery to remove a piece of her lung tomorrow. Although this womans daughter and I haven't been close in many years, this family is a huge part of who I am today.
Years before I had my children my friend and I had a bit of a falling out. Much of it, in hindsight, was my fault. I backed out of her wedding several months prior too it due to financial reasons. I guess it hurt her more than I realized, because she didn't invite me to the wedding and never really spoke to me after that. Regardless, I had such admiration for her mom that I named my oldest daughter after her. This is truly a remarkable warm, gentle, loving hard working woman. Who when I needed a family, when my own was struggling, she opened hers to me. I will be eternally grateful for that. I had my own family whom I llived and loved and I had her family whom I loved and spend many "family" moments with. Sharing board games, and outings. Things my family didn't do. She was diagnosed with cancer last summer. The family was asking for prayers, they didn't expect her to get thru the holidays. She did. Now she needs this surgery. Please pray for her & her family.
I know we all are on this board because we have pain. But, even if it is just in a simple prayer such as what I do for all of you, "please God watch over my disboard friends, see what's in their hearts and heal them & those they love."
Thanks to you all. And you all will remain in my prayers.
Peace & Love,
Dee
