I am praying for you V, your husband, children, Kiki and your extended family and friends. You are so well loved and have made a difference in so many people's lives. I'm thankful to have "known" you here. I will continue to pray for you and your family.

I'm so sorry V. I don't even know what to say. I am thinking of you and hope you can find some peace in all of this. My heart is with your family as well. So very sorry.
There isn't a day goes by that my dad isn't with me. We talk about him so the kids know he loved them and we celebrate his birthday. I know he didn't want to go and he wasn't ready and he was too young. I will never NOT miss him. But he's always with us. Cancer sucks so hard but in the end we all felt lucky to have the chance to say how much we loved each other. That's not nothing. I'm a stranger who mostly lurks but have followed your story. I wish you and your family peace and love for all the days you have together.
I think often of you and your journey. While I am hopeful that you will experience a miracle, I know that some day you will have finished your journey here on Earth, just as we all will. I remain hopeful that will be many, many years from now.
There is a verse I would like to share with you, as I know we share a faith and you have been a great witness to me. It is from the book of Ecclesiastes and says, "A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth." You, my dear friend, have a name that is so much better than the finest things of the earth. You have been proven yourself a friend and champion of so, so many. I pray that you have peace knowing that the Lord promises that your day of death, whenever that may be, will be a joyful for you.
When I think of you, I specifically think of Proverbs 31 and the description of a faithful woman. It describes you so well. You have given us strength, wisdom, wit, and faith. We arise with your children and husband to call you blessed and honor you, dear friend.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
I'm praying for you, your children, grandchildren, husband, and parents. Much, much love.
