Into the Night

April 6, 2008 |

My stepdaughter’s mother is dying. They don’t expect her to live out the night. She has been battling leukemia since before Christmas, had a catheter to her heart that became infected. It developed into a resistant staph infection and it has attacked her kidneys. Her body is tired and it is shutting down. I feel so badly for my stepdaughter - she’s just started rebuilding a relationship with her mom in the last few years and now she’s losing her. My hope for my stepdaughter is that she’s able to find peace in all this. I only wish her mother had lived long enough to see her first granddaughter born in July.

    oh that’s so awful Jules, cancer is such an ugly thing. My grandmother died of it a few years back. Praying here and thinking of your family and your stepdaughter.
