You know from reading my blog that I believe we should cherish each moment. Life is a fragile jewel, a gift.
Nine years ago, our second son developed a friendship that has lasted as a close friend across this time. These 2 boys are best friends. Consequently, this boy's mother has become a wonderful friend to me.
June 25, 2008, after a flurry of testing within a few days, she was diagnosed with ampullary carcinoma, stage 4. This is an incredibly rare form of cancer. We were shocked with this news given to such a strong busy lady, and reeled with grief as humanly speaking, Melody was given a devastating diagnosis.Time is precious and valuable to this couple and their four children. Three of their 4 children are the same age as ours, so this feels so close to home.
I know many of you believe in the miraculous healing power of prayer...this is her need. If you should feel the urgency to pray for Melody and her husband and her 4 young children, I will be grateful. There are simply no words, but hope, faith and trust, take hold.
Today is Melody's birthday.

Oh Rachel, I am so sorry for Melody and her family. Cancer is everywhere. Have you been on the blog Quill and Pen. If you haven't please go over and visit Alex. She is 36 years old and they have found a tumor on her liver and she has to have a biopsy. So now I shall add Melody to my list of people who need a miracle from GOD. I will definitely pray for Melody and her family.
