Emotional Day Yesterday

I was hit with a lot of sad news yesterday.  First, my nephew's girlfriend's mother had a heart attach and passed away.  She has lost her mother at a very young age and pray for comfort and understanding for her and her family.


Second, it was brought to my attention that a coworker found out yesterday at work that she has breast cancer.  How uncanny is that!  Two weeks on the day I found out.  I was eager to visit with her just to give her a hug and to let her know that I will walk through this with her.  I do not know her very well, but during our visit I could tell that she is a strong, independent woman just as I am.  It was interesting for me to be on the other side of comforting and supporting her, however, it helped me to understand how so many of you are feeling as I go through this.  I am so blessed!


Lastly, my dad told me that a friend of his' daughter passed away of breast cancer.  His friend had sent a very nice message when he found out I have breast cancer.  I just had to e-mail him my sympathies.


You may think why did my dad tell me this, but that is his way of showing concern.  When he was telling me this, I could tell that he was scared.  He won't admit that though...will you Dad?  :)  When I was leaving to go home from work, I felt that I needed to stop by and give him a hug to reassure him that I am going to be okay.  I could only imagine what was going through his head sitting home alone with all of this terrible news.  It was a good visit and I'm glad I went over.


Well, in two hours I will know more of what is to come.  Thank you to everyone that is sending me messages yesterday and today to tell me they are thinking of me and praying.  It truly does mean so much to me.


Love to you all and I will share what I find out as soon as I can.
