1bassoon Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hello Hive - Last night, a friend of mine ended her 5-year battle with breast cancer. She leaves behind 3 young children, and an amazing testimony. She was diagnosed while pg with her youngest - who is now 5 and ready to start kindergarten. Through it all, she gave continual glory to God. Not sugar-coated, but real, honest, horribly hard, costly praise and glory. I blogged about her life, if anyone wants to read- it includes a link to her caring bridge page, where you can read the letters she wrote to her children. But mostly, I'm just requesting prayers. They have a hard, hard road ahead of them. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Oh, I am so sorry. I too had a friend who died young from breast cancer and left three young kids, it's absolutely heartbreaking. Prayers lifted. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedmom4 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Wow. I read several of Laura's letters to her children. She was obviously an amazing person. One of her posts really struck home to me. She talked about how we really aren't in control we only fool ourselves into believing we are. It really spoke to my heart today. I'm going to bookmark her Caring Bridge site so I can continue to read. She had so much wisdom. I will definitely keep her family in my prayers. My heart just breaks for all of them. Thank you for sharing. God Bless, Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
