Prayers Needed

I just heard some very bad news. As I sat down to have coffee with my dear friend Robanne, she told me that she had just received a very sad phone call on her drive to the coffee shop. Our friend, Tami, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. She just suffered some kind of seizure and was rushed to the hospital and is now in ICU.

Tami's oldest daughter, Emily, was Natalie's best friend in Kindergarten. Emily and Natalie were inseparable... the cutest little blondies that you ever did see. We shared so many fun times with Emily's family... times that we think of often and will always cherish.

Both of our families moved into new homes, and therefore different schools. We have exchanged Christmas cards ever since, but found that life and some distance really got in the way. I haven't seen Tami in way too long. I think of her so often though... she is just the greatest mom. She loves her girls and they adore her. They are such an amazing, close-knit family. I'm so honored to know her and call her my friend.

Please, please keep Tami and her family in your prayers. She just has to pull through this.

I really, really despise cancer. I hate it with every fiber of my being. Why does this happen to such beautiful and loving mothers who need to raise their children? It is so unfair.

Please join me in my prayers for Tami and the Ellis family.
