Things that make you stop and see

We have some great freinds the Pettys who used to live out here by us, but moved away a few years ago. They are the type of friends you just love, and every time you get together it is like they never left, and you can just have a great time. We went out to dinner with them a few weeks ago and had a great time just reminiscing and talking about life. Well this week was as Craig put it "a life changing" week. They just found out their little boy has Leukemia. They have been at primary childrens hospital the last two days, and hearing what they are going through just breaks my heart. Their little Max, who they call Bubby, has already had to endure many things that most of us will never face. Watching a child go through such extensive pain, and know you can't do anything for them, is so awful. He has the most treatable form of Leukemia, but to be told it is good that they most likely will only have to endure 3 1/2 years of chemo treatments and radiation made me just hurt inside. They have kept a great attitude and have definately approached it the best they can, knowing the Lord is in charge. I totally feel for them, and want them to know how much they are loved, and thought about. You never want bad things to happen to anyone, but when it is people you love, and care for, it is always harder.They have created a blog to allow us to follow and if you want to read more, and be inspired by them it is battlingforbubby.blogspot.com It makes me so grateful for all the people in my life that teach me something new each day.
