I had a friend pass away completely unexpectedly. Langham High School, and a lot of my friends took the hit with me. October/November was a rough month. I can't get the picture out of my head when my dad and I had to say goodbye. Today marks 4 months since Clay passed away. Miss him everyday.
Another friend from middle school was diagnosed with Leukemia last Thursday. Once again Langham has taken a hit. She is home now and doing okay, but it's still hard. Cancer isn't supposed to take over one's life when they are seventeen. That's not how it's supposed to work. Devin, we're praying for you.
And Layla Grace. I don't know her. I've never met her. She's a 2 year old who has stage 4 Neuroblastoma. I've read her mom's blog, and it brings me to near tears each time. No 2 year old should have to go through that. Layla Grace, keep staying strong. We're praying.
I'm not especially close with any of these people, but the thought that it could happen to any of us is heartbreaking. Cancer can affect anybody. Accidents can happen to anybody. It's no where near fair, but we all try to take comfort that Clay is in Heaven with our God, that Devin is doing really well, and Layla Grace is still fighting.
I'm cherishing my time with friends and family now while I can. Because anything can happen.
Clay, Devin, and Layla Grace: we are praying for you and your families. We love you!!

You have had a rough JR year in regards to learning some of life's lessons. I too have been very upset about Layla Grace, but know her prayer circle is huge and know God has a special plan. I learned of a kindergarten teacher this week that's been diagnose with leukemia and it's upset me a great deal as well. Each day is a gift. Receive the gift with a smile each day! Love you!
