When Life is no More

Today I am feeling numb. I just happened upon a Facebook group-a memorial page. It was for a girl I know. She was a year or two ahead of me in school. Her husband graduated with me. I knew Kristy was diagnosed with breast cancer as a young adult. The two of them adopted their two girls because fertility wasn't possible because of all the cancer treatments. Kristy had lived in remission for years. She was always full of life-a life filled by faith and hope.
Kristy lost her battle with cancer on July 29, leaving behind a devoted husband and two sweet little girls. I cry as I type this. I know God has a plan. He had a plan for Kristy's life-a plan for Kristy's death. I know that.
I am heartbroken for this family. I also find myself internalizing their tragedy. In this moment I can't imagine leaving my children and husband behind. I can't fathom not seeing my children's milestone moments; a world without their Mommy...
I am so sick of cancer! It makes me angry the devastation that it leaves in its path. It's not fair!
This is just another reminder that we really need to live like there is no tomorrow-there truly might not be one. Look beyond your Mommy-world; the whining and fighting, the chaos, the messes...go hug your babies and never let them go!

I'm so sorry. My thought are with you and your friend's family.
I'm very sorry about your friend. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
You are right...life is short. There are moments in life we will never get back and moments we may never get to experience. We should appreciate and enjoy every day.
CANCER sucks!
I want to punch Cancer in the face. But you knew that,
I am so sorry that your friend is gone. You and her family will be in my prayers today
And it isn't just cancer.... there are all kinds of things that can cut a persons life short.
I hope that he is doing well with his two little girls. The fog that widow(er)s enter into can be hard, but sometimes an illness makes it last a little less.
My heart and prayers are with the family as well as with you. Facing immortality is hard... adn even harder when you look into the faces of your own babies.
My condolences.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend Kristi. Her family and yours will be in my prayers. (((big hugs)))
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

How sad that a young mom's life was cut short by cancer. :-( I will pray for her family for their peace and healing.
