Yet another long blog
Well the other day I got on my friend Brenda's blog and read how she was having a hard time with finances and feeling very frustrated when she came upon a blog about a young mother that has been diagnosed with cancer, Brenda then tells how this really changed her perspective on everything. The weird thing is I have also been stalking this girls blog. I read her story a couple weeks ago( i must have found it through Brenda). Well I was in tears by the time I finished reading it. She is a mother of 3 and she is 28 and has been diagnosed with skin cancer. She is a beautiful writer and always brings me to tears. Her last blog entry was about taking her son out on a date and realizing that she may be small and insignificant to the world but to her little boy she was his world. She then closes by saying that no mother should have to leave her children. This seriously made me sob. I could not agree with her more. If she ever comes on to this blog I hope that she knows that she has seriously touched me. I have put her in my prayers at night. Another friend Christine made a very beautiful comment on Brenda's blog that I also appreciated she said that yes sometimes life is very hard and she gets depressed because of it but then she realizes that it has to be hard, that she could never grow and become a better person without it being hard. So thank you Brenda, Christine and Alisa(the mother with cancer), for reminding me that this life is a beautiful experience to learn and grow and to savor every second. I do know that by living this life the best that I can possibly do that I will one day be with my family again and that we will be happy and free from burden.
Yes Alisa I agree that no mother should have to leave there children, thank you for sharing your experience and reminding me how blessed I truly am.

wow. sometimes, i don't know why i complain about my life. life IS hard, but i am blessed.
thanks liz.
I'm glad you didn't think my comment was completely insensitive, because after I read what I wrote I thought it might of sounded like I thought that lady having cancer was no big deal.-I was talking about my trivial problems. I can't even imagine having cancer!
Thanks for the post, Liz. Things like that always put life in perspective for me.
Great quote! Isn't Alisa amazing? She has surgery today and I can't stop thinking about her. She's in my prayers too.
I love your blog! I am going to check out that girls blog and read about her as well. We all need things to put our lives into perspective and think gosh I have it so good.
