We are sad and heartbroken. Today, as I was at the bus stop hearing the news and then later telling Parker over the phone, I fought back the tears. I was disgusted with the people around me listening to the conversation that I was having, staring at me, and not doing anything. It was like my world had stopped and they kept going about their day. While I know their world shouldn't stop too (and I wouldn't want it to), I truly wished that someone would have acted like a real person and hugged me or gave an encouraging smile... or something.
Thankfully, I have amazing friends that hug me, love me, let me cry, make bad jokes, inspire me, and give me hope.
I feel much better than I did at lunch time, but I still covet your prayers, comments, and attempts to make me laugh.
Mom is doing okay. Extremely strong as usual :)
Hi Laura Ann. I found your blog through Patrice some time ago. I check in every now and then. My mom had a long battle with Breast Cancer several years ago. She is now a survivor. Keep your head up and rest well knowing that God has a perfect plan. Your mom seems like a fighter. I will keep you, your mom and family in my thoughts and prayers. :)
ReplyDeleteRyan and I pray for your mom and your family so much. I always wonder how you can hold back tears when you update us about your mom in sunday school. You're a strong person, too, Laura. You must get that from your mom. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Laura!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you and your family are going through this. You guys are a really great family and I will always remember the times you welcomed me into your home. Even though we don't get to keep in touch as much as we did when we were younger I always keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers. Just keep a positive attitude and remember there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I am always amazed at what a strong person you are.
