Breast Cancer

My dear friend Linda whom I have known for years called me today and gave me some very shocking news.  She is going through a procedure tomorrow morning and asked me to care for her son while she is at the hospital and then... She told me that she is battling breast cancer!  My heart just died when she told me.  I wish that we could just learn how to kill this thing off and that we would NEVER have to EVER hear it's ugly name again! 

There have been so many women that I have known that have battled this horrible disease and even one of my dearest friends lost her Mom to it at such a tender age. I just wish that there was something that I could do for her to wipe out all of her fears and take this whole awful thing away. 

I watched this amazing movie the other day with my Husband called "Letters to God."  It is a movie about a young boy dealing with a very aggressive / lethal form of cancer.  In the movie, the young boy asks "Why me?  Why did this have to happen to me?"  In which the response was.. " Because God chose you.  He chose you to be a warrior for him.. for a great purpose that you might not yet understand.  He did all this because He finds you worthy and special beyond all others." 
I thought about this long and hard.. and I agree.  Sometimes I wish that we could call God on the phone and actually hear his voice on the line talking back to me.  Then I would be like " Oh!  I understand!  Okay...  I feel much better now that I know and you have explained." 
I know that is not His way... but I sure wish it was. :)

I don't know who reads this... If anyone at all.  But if you are out there....Please say a prayer for Linda tonight.  She needs all the support she can get.
