The difficult posts

These types of posts are always so difficult.
One of our friend’s, Mary Elizabeth, got some bad news this week.
Here’s the news as told by her mother. After reading please leave a comment for Mary Elizabeth. She is a brave little girl.
“Quick post to tell that the results of the biopsy was that Mary’s leukemia has spread. We wanted to avoid telling her but the look on our faces told it all. She told her brother and sister and they are very upset. Lots of decisions have to be made over the next few days/weeks but the fight is far from over. Mary said she wants to keep fighting and is not even close to giving in. What is weighing heavy on me is that she has to endure more of this awful disease. It is so evil. Also we have to figure out a way to keep our family all together. I can’t bear to be separated any longer from my other children. We will figure all this out. Right now I just ask for lots of prayers. I am a wreck and Mary is upset that I can’t quit crying. I told her I just have to get it out of my system and I will be fine. I know God is there for us always and will make our path straight. When she saw we were upset she asked, “Am I gonna die?” I said, “Not even close” and she said, “Fine then whatever it is I can handle it!” She always does and with such strength and grace. As usual she is more worried about everyone else.”
