Weathering the Storm



Weathering a storm takes a lot of courage, a lot of hope, and a lot of faith.  Today, a close friend of mine is having surgery to remove a cancer ridden thyroid and a couple of lymph nodes.  I know she is frightened and faces radiation treatments in the very near future.  I wish that I could be sitting in that waiting room in Kansas with her husband today, unfortunately, I am writing this in Florida and sending my prayers for her heavenward.

My lovely friend, we have been through trials and tribulations both together and separately.  We had a mountain to climb at one point and missed out on five years of our friendship.  You are the sister I never had.  You are in my heart and prayers always, but today those are on overdrive.  I pray for a capable medical staff, experienced surgeon, and a clean lymphatic path.  You are in God's hands today and always.  I love you, my friend.  Godspeed.  I know you'll be up and at it again in no time.

  2. Update: She came through with flying colors. Now its onto recovery and waiting for the test results. Radiation therapy still seems to be on the table, starting in 4-6 weeks. Both my heart and prayers remain with you, my friend.
