A very special friend of mine who lives near Atlanta Georgia has been going
through a nightmare in the last few months. Her Mama was diagnosed with
liver and bowel cancer just before Christmas. They put her back in the
hospital last Wednesday after the pain got more than she could stand.
Yesterday morning she passed away. She leaves behind a mother who she was
caring for before the cancer diagnosis, two children who love her dearly,
four precious grandchildren and a league of friends and loved ones. She is
still battling the bitch of infertility. Her first marriage they tried for
four years, and now in her second for the last three years, nothing. She has
four stepchildren (all adopted by her husband and his ex wife. his ex wife
chose to relinquish the three youngest when they got divorced) who are worth
the world to her and I think she is coming to an acceptance that this is the
answer to her life as a Mama. We all get there a different way you know. I
am just glad that she has a family to call her own

If you could all just say a special word for my friend. She is taking care
of all of the arrangements and still caring for the kidlets and her hubby. I
know she could use some love. They visitation is tomorrow and the funeral is
on Tuesday.

Thank you all,

Cindi
