My sister in law passed away this past Thursday. She fought the fight of metastatic breast cancer. My family and Kathy's close friends gathered on Saturday to celebrate Kathy's life. It was at the home of her very dear friend who had taken care of Kathy during her illness. We had a time where we could say something and remember Kathy. It was very clear how much Kathy was loved and what a great spirit Kathy had for life, fun, joy, and happiness. She could have played the pitiful victim but chose instead to live life to the fullest and make her life happy and full.
The other thing that was revealed to me was how much love is in the world. God brought the right people to Kathy to be by her side and help her through the storm. So many people who never met Kathy were praying for her daily. A love that is selfless and Christ like to do what is needed for a person in need.
It can be so easy to focus on the negative world we live in. But within all of this you find beauty, kindness, joy, hope, and love. My prayer is that you can focus your life on loving and caring for those around you.
Peace...
