A lot of hard work and love went in to the preparation for My Mom's Benefit this past Saturday. I am so thankful for everyone that helped make it the success that it was. It truly is humbling and such an honor to be part of a wonderful community. Having the amazing family and friends that we do is just an added blessing and icing on the cake. Praising God everyday all day for all of His many blessings.

It was a tiring day, but worth it all. This guy (bless him) snuck a nap in.....

Mama's fight is tough. The struggle is real. But as you can tell, she is most definitely not fighting alone. We are all in this journey with her. And although some days it is still hard to comprehend that "this" is actually happening and my mother actually has cancer, God has shown us grace and mercy in ways that we never imagined.
Thanks again to everyone that had a part in this. The ones that organized it, helped, donated, prepared food, etc. Nothing went unnoticed. Love you all!
Hi, what a nice day you all had, I wish I could have been there to support your mom. Praying for strength for her as she walks this difficult road!
ReplyDeleteI came across this today and thought of her (again)....it's coconut water/juice and it's very healthy and is supposed to help off set some of the side effects of chemo. Maybe she'd like to give it a try.
