Sorry I have been not posting the last few days. I'm kind of...off...
My friend, Melanie's mother is dying of cancer. I am not sure if she even made it through the night last night. She was diagnosed last week. Her mother is her best friend. My heart is breaking for her. I know Melanie through a baby board. We have known each other since pregnancy. We met in this big group of women on Babycenter and about 13 of us branched off and created our own message board. I have never, personally, met any of these women, but I love them all dearly. Their joy is my joy; their sorrow is mine. My heart is just so sad over this news. Mel is an amazing mother, friend, and apparently, daughter. Cancer sucks.
My husband's friend, Chad is also facing a serious health issue. He was diagnosed with Guillan-Barre syndrome and has been dealing with paralysis. He is doing much better, but they were unsure if he was going to be able to ever walk again. (It just came on, out of the blue one day.) He has twins; a boy and a girl; about a year and a half. He is in physical therapy and is still very much "not out of the woods".
Illness sucks. It makes me sad that two amazing people are going through these tribulations. Please, keep them both in your prayers.

That sucks. I am so sorry! The diagnosis followed immediately by dying is what scares me the most about cancer.
That is very sad. I'm sorry for them.
But I want to spin your post as my reminder to you that tomorrow (Friday) is Gratitude Friday! So count your blessings -- Joe and Ava are healthy. And happy. :)
