The Coming Loss of A Wonderful Mama
Yes, I know I haven't written in many months and you have no clue how many times I have started a post only to delete it because my heart just wasn't in it. Blogging just honestly hasn't ranked very high on the priority list lately I guess and for that I apologize to those of you who read here.
Tonight though I read something that broke my heart and I knew that I couldn't just ignore it and not post.
Those of you who have followed my blog have read my posts having to do with Lisa from Clusterfook. The woman is amazing as she has been through cancer three times now. Her strength and outlook through it all taught me alot about how to handle living with cancer with grace and an immense amount of class.
Unfortunately I have just read that she is now in the final days of her battle and it breaks my heart. She was realistic from the beginning about her chances of making it through this time but I'll be honest and say I really hoped she would beat the odds and come out okay. She deserved a break this time, you know?
So my point of making my first post back blogging about Lisa is so that anyone who reads will add her and her family (she is leaving behind a husband and two young daughters) to your thoughts, prayers, loving vibes, or whatever you do as she is very deserving of them. From what I've read, she has fought as hard as she could and dealt with the pain long enough. Please hope she is finally able to be at peace as much as it breaks my heart to ask for her passing.
Lisa- I know you will never read this but thank you for sharing your life with us online and for the emails that helped me become better about living with my own cancer. Thank you for being so amazing, graceful, classy, and honest no matter what. I hope I can one day be even have the woman you are. You've set the bar very high sweetheart.
Go in peace, dear.

Many prayers and thoughts for this mama and family.
And Jo, for you to because I know it is hard for you as well.
The wind has been totally knocked out of me on this one.
My heart goes out to her family. I really don't know what to say...it's just so wrong and so sad.
I'm so sorry to hear. Perhaps it's not that the best of us live forever, but that the best of us live a life that shines with such brightness as to inspire others.
This is so sad and I do not have the words of comfort .. As time passes it will be easier. You will be better if you can get organized so all of your free time is fulfilled somehow because you will have less time to think.
This story really breaks my heart and my eyes are full of tears. I am going to start praying right now for Lisa as could not imagine how she copes with all that pain and awful reality.
