Heavy Heart

Well, I am in no mood today folks.................................

I get the news that my sister-in-law's sister was told she has breast cancer. Gets worse, she is at a minimum of Stage II and beyond a simple masectomy for it was pegged as invasive & aggressive. They found numerous nodules on her lungs and today is the day that a scan will determine whether or not this is in fact Stage II or God help me, Stage IV, of which there is no cure. I don't know what to say, my heart is very heavy for this woman.

My sister-in-law is one of the best women I know. Well technically she is not my sister-in-law because her and my brother are not married YET, just a matter of time. I just love this girl and consider myself very blessed that my baby brother was lucky enough to find such a good person. Watching her twisted with grief over this painful news regarding her sister is gut wrenching at best. I can imagine what she is going through as I just lost 2 aunts this year alone to cancer, but her sister................well.............I can't say I know what she is feeling

I was fortunate enough to meet her last Christmas and she was a doll. Very sweet and funny, instantly made me feel at home and made me comfortable. Not surprising at all, her entire family are just wonderful beautiful people. The father makes me laugh so hard I cry!

I am so anxious to hear how today went for her. It's so odd to me to be this consumed by forthcoming news about a person I met just once. I can't help it and cannot stop thinking about it. I must have prayed 9 times alone today. I just don't want anything terrible to happen to anyone in this family, please God, spare her because it is not deserved..............

I am going to and say one more prayer for good measure...............

If any of you reading this could join me, it would be much appreciated :-)
