I don't post here anymore, but a friend who does shared your update. I wanted to come back just to tell you how sorry I am that things have not turned out the way you hoped. Your post oozes grace, and peace, and courage and you teach me many things. I am praying for you and your family. Remember that the God you're clinging to holds your husband and kids, too. Hugs and peace to you. |

I wish I could offer more than words, prayers and wishes of peace and positivity as you and your family work to grasp the news you've been given.
Your positivity in the face of great struggle has been quite a lesson to me. It's easy to get caught up in all the things that don't matter - here I am grumbling about traffic and you're fighting for your life and doing so with positivity and grace.
I hope it's some small comfort to know that you've impacted and changed the lives of many people, myself included. I aspire to live life with the grace and strength you've shown while you've struggled with this disease.
Thank you, and God bless. | |

I have no words....a dear friend is dying of lung cancer and is sharing that process with all of us on FB. I so admire his strength and yours.
Spend time with your DH and kids...have someone help you write/leave a video for them for later. Life is so precious.
God and I have had lots of quality time to discuss all this these last 5 weeks in the hospital, so I think we are all square.
This made me cry....but God is there for you.... |

We only have now. Fill it with light, and gratitude and grace.
Thank you Barb for reminding me of this.

Barb, I am so humbled that you would take the time to continue to share your updates with us. I think the Peas would agree that we are truly blessed to have you as a part of our pod.
You and your family will continue to be in my prayers. I did find my own comfort in this:
God and I have had lots of quality time to discuss all this these last 5 weeks in the hospital, so I think we are all square.
and I pray that you continue to feel His presence as you continue on your journey. |

So many eloquent outreaches here, and I can't begin to match them.
All I can say is that you are making an impact in my life with your testimony and your attitude. Thank you for that.
And if your life does that for a stranger, think of what a gigantic footprint you have with those close to you. May God walk with all of you in the days to come.

That is the effect you have had on us with your courage. You are amazingly strong and I truly admire you. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. |
