That was a beautiful post Andi. Thank you for that. You are right, our lovely warrior women, wouldn't want us to cower in fear. We were meant to carry on - to trust our lives to the One who holds it in His hands and to live our lives in love and service. Losing loved ones is hard on us but for them their journey has been completed and they are living in total peace and joy right now. THEY are the lucky ones really. Although we can't even imagine being them.....one day this truth will be ours as well......as death will touch each of us at some point. Not necessarily from cancer either......but it will touch us....

For now though.........we will mourn for a while.....give thanks for these warrior women that have taught us so much about the business of living and for the fact that there suffering is now over and we will continue to spread that love to others as we walk a long this road....that's why we're all here.

So thank you Andi....for a well thought out and wonderful post.
