Cancer

My heart is aching for a family right now.  This is the family of one of Becca's best friends, Melissa, who we just spent this past weekend with us at a youth group retreat.  Mel's dad called us yesterday to tell us that her mom has been told she has only 6 months left to live.  I remember in the fall, she found out she had cancer.  Yes, only this past fall!  So many emotions swirling around in my head.  Feeling helpless, what can we do to help . . . feeling heartbroken for a young girl who will not have her mom with her through all the ups and downs that high school (and beyond) brings.  And that feeling where you never know when your last days are . . . our lives can dramatically change in such a short time . . . There but for the grace of God go I.  Please pray for this family with me..... thanks
