Going along with the theme of my week, being thankful..... I really got a dose of reality Monday when I heard some awful news. Six weeks ago we got an e-mail from Brenden's head couch that a father of one of his teammates was told he had stage 4 cancer and was admitted directly to the hospital for treatments. His wife started a blog to give everyone updates on his status and a place for her to ask for prayers that all goes well with him. I have been following her blog over the past 6 weeks and it is truly heartbreaking. There were not many posts of her giving news telling everyone he was doing much better. However, there were posts of her literally begging God and everyone to pray her husband, Ben, recover from this awful cancer because she and her young kids could not live without him. On Monday, Amy, the wife, wasn't the one to leave the blog post, but rather Ben's sister updating everyone that Ben had lost his fight with cancer. Tragic things such as this saddening story really does make you so thankful for all things big and small because not everyone gets to keep what's most precious to them.....
Today and everyday I am thankful for my friends and family. I have the BEST friends and family that anyone could ask for! My best friends could NEVER be replaced but I have been very blessed in making great friends in Texas as well. I'm one lucky girl!
Have a THANKFUL Weds~!
