Emily the Beautiful

Friends,

My dear niece, Emily, is entering hospice care.  She is funny, brave, beautiful, and dedicated; she also possesses the biggest, most generous heart you could ever imagine.  Please pray for her and her family while they live off love in the forthcoming days.

Thank you all,

Sara

  5. Me, too, Tricia. She was supposed to go to camp this week. It was a shock to all of us how fast her cancer spread.

  15. No matter how many times I see life being unfair, it still comes as a shock. Hospice created an environment that helped us have comfort and peace in my husband's last months of life; I pray it does the same for Emily and the people who surround and love her.

  17. I came here from Not the Rockefellers and was truly heartbroken to find this entry. As a mom of three....well, I cannot imagine, but I can reach to imagine, and it's impossible. I'm so sorry.

  20. Sara,

    My thoughts are with you and your family. This must be such a sad time for all of you.

    It's amazing to me how much courage some of these young cancer victims have. I don't know if I could be so brave in the face of such a deadly disease.

  21. My cousin, a young man newly married was recently diagnosed with cancer. It's spreading aggressively. I can't get used to how often I hear of another family going through this.

    Holding you all in the light,
    Susan
