Broken

Profoundly sad this morning. There is a young woman in our church who thinks herself 'in love' with my eldest boy. And really, who wouldn't be?! There has been some normal teenage angst happening there for a bit, but that seems supremely unimportant right now. This young girl and her four sisters lost their mom to cancer yesterday. My heart is broken for them. I can not begin to imagine what their family has been through and will go through. I can't imagine being without my mother and I am a grown woman with 6 kids of my own. How much more devastating for a teenage girl.
My husband lost his Dad, his stepfather to cancer this summer, after a short and absolutely devastating struggle. It was horrific watching him waste away and watching dh's mother suffer with him. This family has been through a similar, but prolonged experience in which they had great hope of their mother being well again. May God wrap his big arms around them and keep them close and comfort them.
If you are a praying person, please keep these five young girls in your prayers.

  1. Oh Kris. I am so sorry for them. And I also wonder how could a female not love your wonderful sensitive eldest son! He will make someone a fantastic husband and best friend. You've raise a man to be proud of!
    Love you.

  3. I know I haven't "visited" in forever. I will pray (I already have) for these girls and the dad (there is a husband, right?) Anyway, are you still working with a digital scrapbooking company? If so, I am very interested in knowing more.
