So this blog is so supposed to be about my kids, their lives, how much I love them. But lately I've been doing a lot of reflecting. You see, I have a friend - I worked with her for a short time, we continue to exchange Christmas cards, and I get routine updates from other friends as to how charming her life is with her sweet husband and delicious children. Well, she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Stage 3 breast cancer. She's 39. She has two children - I know I mentioned that - but it means so much. She has a wonderful husband. She has a nice life. She's blogging about her experience...and I am addicted to it. It. is. just. so. sad.
Thinking about it turns on the faucets in my eyes. I mean, I'm 36. I have two children. I have a wonderful husband. I have a GREAT life. How does this happen and can/will it happen to me? It all makes me want to be a better person. I want to cook more, laugh more, play with my kids more, take walks with my husband more, pray more. I just want to enjoy life more...and trust me, I already enjoy it so, so, so much.
So I am praying like crazy for my friend. Wishing everyday that she gets great news. I plan to keep up on her progress and I will walk the breast cancer walks in her honor and I will do everything I can to help her where I can. And I am going to be the best person I can - I am going to do it for me, my family...and for her.
