I never ask for prayers or talk about personal things, but...

there is something really sad going on with a cousin of mine. She moved away many years ago, and we aren't very close, but she is gravely ill with stomach cancer at 35. She was doing very well for a year or 2 and fought hard with chemo...but over the last months, she found there is nothing more to do. She has a husband and 2 kids-- 6 and 4. She entered hospice last week and yesterday asked them to remove her feeding tube. She has been so strong and has had time to make peace with her parents and husband and kids, but my mom told me a week ago, they took a family photo...she was able to get in her wheelchair...and she just broke down, realizing it was her last photo, more than likely. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her... back when I was little we spent so much time together. What a great mom she is and how sad her little children must feel. The little one even told her dad that he needed to learn how to braid her hair b/c mommy wasn't going to be around anymore. I basically cried myself to sleep last night thinking about her and how unfair life can be. I don't know...is it good she was able to say goodbye to family? It's all so sad. So once again I thank God for health and happiness and hope it continues in my life....

That was definately one of the saddest posts I have read on here. I am so sorry for you, her husband, her parents and most, especially her children for not having their amazing mom in their life.
