holding my breath




I've been silently holding my breath over the last few days waiting for the tests results to come in for my friend. (suspected Lymphoma). She called me tonight and the results are not good. "Malignant Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma ".

Scary words. That was the hardest phone call I ever sat through. What do you say? I'm very aware in these situations that she has all her own feelings to deal with, let alone everyone else's. I told her, I wanted her to know that she could always count on me to be real. she could crumble in front of me, not have to put on a brave face for me and that i would sit by her and hold her hand. I guess I've been down that road of pain, so I am a very good
driver.

Please pray for my sweet friend. Tucker's one good friend; out of the few he'll ever have.

little box of love




i received terrible news today that a friend is suspected of having lymphoma. she undergoes a biopsy next week, so we will know more next week. needless to say i am heartsick over this. she loves my art, so i made this little box of love for her to hang in her car (or wherever.....)
