My Aunt

This has been on my mind, non-stop since it all started. Most of you do not know my Aunt... but some of you might? Since I have no clue who is going to read this, I have no clue who knows her and doesnt know her.

My Aunts name is Sandra. But all who know her well call her, Sam. She is the most amazing person I have ever known. Not only that, but she is (was) also one of the most healthiest people I know. That's why I am blogging about her...because that all changed drastically on April 25th. She was admitted to the hospital for a brain mass. They did surgery to remove the mass on Tues. April 28th. The DR. was able to remove all of it but said it was a highly aggressive, malignant tumor known as a glioblastoma. Therefore her prognosis is very serious. She went to rehab later that week and spent about 10 days there. She did great!

On Tuesady May 26th she started radiation. On Monday June 1st she will begin chemo. Through all this she has been able to keep her spirits high. She lets nothing bring her down. She is so brave. She is always happy and smiling. She speaks kindly of everyone/everything. She is more worried about everyone else than herself. What gives her this peace and happiness is her faith in the Lord. I think it is amazing. I admire her so much. I love her so much. My life would never be the same without her.

I do not know what my beliefs are. Or what my 'faith' is. But I do believe for people out there, like my Aunt, there is a better place when life on Earth ends. I never really pray(ed)...esp. on a daily basis. Hence, the not knowing my beliefs... but I do pray for my Aunt. I pray that her tumor never comes back. I pray that her health doesnt diminish w/ her treatments. I pray for my Uncle to find the strength to go through this. My poor Uncle...as you can imagine, he is devistated! I pray that Erik (my cousin) keeps praying :) and I am sure he will!

So, who ever stopped by and read this, thank you. If you have the time please pray or whatever it is you do... wish, think, hope, dream...for my Aunt and her family. It would be greatly appreciated!
