What do you do when one of your best friends is about to start her cancer treatment?
Well, you pick out wigs, cool head wraps, and you scrapbook! Anything to take the focus off the cancer.
We spent the afternoon talking and scrapping. It was good for both of us. Very glad to be a source of support for her. There are many things that you think you will never do in your life and picking out a wig with a friend that isn't much older than you are is one of those things. It was almost as if we were both having an out of body experience. Are we really sitting here at my dining room table looking at these? Can this be real? Is this really the road that was chosen for you? I hate this! I love her and I hate this! Don't get me wrong I loved helping her make this decision. It is an honor to be a part of this struggle with her, but I hate this! This shouldn't be happening. I don't understand! But its not about that, its about her and fighting this disease and winning!
So I'll leave you with some pics of my completed pages and a request for those of you that believe that the God we serve is mighty and that He can do great things. Please pray for her and her family. Pray for her doctors that they would be wise and skillful and compassionate. Pray for her nurses that they would also be wise and skillful and compassionate.
