I ask you to please say a special prayer today for Mark's Aunt Ginger. On last Friday she was diagnosed with breast cancer and this Friday is having a double mastectomy. We are all very saddened by this news as Ginger is the sweetest lady and we love her dearly. My heart has been breaking all week for her and I just want her to know how much we love her and will be praying for her comfort as she deals with this illness. We found out on Monday, ironically that was the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I plan on wearing pink on Friday in support of Aunt Ginger. If you looked up the word sweetheart in the dictionary this is what you would see beside it:
Be strong Aunt Ginger and know that we love you and are praying for you!
In light of all that has taken place this week, I am going to keep my list short. Sometimes the little things seem so trivial in times like this.
I am thankful for:
Mark, for being my rock in troubled times, for taking care of me when I am weak, for loving me with all of your heart always and forever.
Dayton, for your kind and gentle heart. For being my son and also my friend.
Myah, for adding a very special branch to our family tree. You filled a huge void in all of our lives.
For Sophie's sucessful heart surgery.
For my special friend (you know who you are) who received bad news on Monday too, I am praying for your family. I am very thankful for your friendship.

Aunt Ginger will be on my prayer list. I hope she will be able to feel the prayers around her as she goes in for surgery. Thank you for reminding all of us to be thankful for each day.
Blessings

I am praying.
Thanks so much for the talk tonight. I loved talking with you. I looked on my cell phone - can you believe we spoke for almost an hour, and then for another 30 minutes?! What's so sad is that during our 30 minute conversation, I was driving from J's to my house. It's maybe (at the most) 5 miles away.
Love that LA traffic. So glad we were able to talk. Let's do it again soon.

Just think of the good God will bring from Ginger's cancer----We are a big family to start supporting breast cancer research, etc.!!
Leslie,
I am praying for Aunt Ginger. SO sorry. Hope all goes well.
