Young Child In My Thoughts

One of my good friends has a grandson, Matthew, who just got diagnosed with cancer. It breaks my heart when I hear news of young children with huge and immense challenges. As a cancer survivor myself, I know what is ahead of Matthew when he starts treatments. My heart and prayers go out to the young man. It just does not seem fair for an 11 year old to go through this.

Someone started a website for Matthew. I am going to try and add that link here. I feel that the more collective good thoughts and prayers there are, the better it is for Matthew. (It sure worked for me!)

Eden, I do believe in the power of prayer. I didn't realize you are a cancer survivor. Hurray for YOU! I'll be including Matthew in my prayers. God be with he and his family on this journey ahead.

Eden:

Hi Barb,

Yes, I was diagnosed with colon cancer over a year ago and had undergone surgery and chemo for a few months.

My first outing after treatment was the GTG at Palma's. It was also at the dinner the night before GTG when I had my first glass of wine after almost a year. It was a true celebration.

So, thank you for the encouragement!
