I just found out a friend's dad passed away last week. He had colon cancer. My friend's dad was the same age as my Mom, they both found out around the same time that they had colon cancer, and they had basically the same treatment. But her Dad passed away and my Mom is alive and well. I can't imagine how devastating this must be for her. I was just trying to draft an email to her... I tried to image what I'd want to hear if it had been my Mom that died, and all I could think about was how terrible it would be to not have the person who I've relied on for so much suddenly not be there to play with her grandson and continue to teach me. It made my heart ache for her as much as it made me incredibly and deeply thankful that God spared my Mom.
