Days like these...

Days like these make being a mom very difficult. Just a couple days ago, a friend of my children was found to have some kind of mass on his brain. The CT scan was limited to just the shape, not the nature of the mass. Then yesterday, surgical removal of a large portion of the mass revealed it was malignant.

This young man, only 17, has just had his entire world turned upside down. His friends around him are aching for him, frightened for him. All have just had a very quick lesson in the uncertainly of life.

James 4:14 How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.

Sennit, God bless you and keep you in this fiery trial. Children, I love you and I am here for you and I realize, in a time like this, that may not be enough. But it's all I have to offer and I gladly give you my all.
