Tonight I started a post about how tired I was, how my legs hurt and how I was sick of my little boy's being unwell, but I couldn't finish it. It felt wrong. To know that good people are suffering so terribly makes my woes seem so insignificant.
And so rather than complaining I want to send hope, love, prayers, and a little bit of magic to my friend and his wife. I want to send them strength to survive the here and now, the treatment, the being away from their little boys. I want them to know that there are many many people who are thinking of you both and willing you better. I want to hear that the prognosis is good, because you two good people deserve only happiness.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend! I wish it didn't take these sudden jolts of terrible news to remind us to keep a sense of perspective about our everyday trials.
I wish only good things for your dear ones -- and for you!
Fingers crossed from over here for them as well. It is horrible when bad things happen to nice people and it does make you think that actually your life is better than you think!

How terrible, Polly... so sorry to hear about your friend. I don't understand why these things happen either, and then you've got murderers, drug dealers and sexual predators that live until they're 100. Not fair.
Sending positive thoughts and prayers

How sad. As a teacher, I have always been saddened by the number of pupils I see who have parents who develop serious illnesses like this; it just doesn't seem fair. Let's hope your friend can fight it for the sake of her family.
So sorry to hear about your friend! It's time like that we become so grateful for what we have xx
That is so, so devastating. Isn't it sad that it takes learning about these situations to help us re-evaluate our own lives and realize how fortunate we are. I'm the same way.
Here's to prayers and good thoughts and healing for your friend. I sincerely hope she kicks that brain cancer in the a**.
xo,
