More Heartache

Melanoma continues to wreak havoc on the lives of so many. Bill went to Heaven, leaving behind his wife and child (also named Tyler). It is interesting how certain things fade. Some days I have to remind myself of Brian's voice, his touch, his laughter. Yet, upon hearing of Bill's death, my heart and mind were automatically transformed back to our own story, the sounds of the day, every detail of Brian's death, the feeling of pure sadness has not faded.

Please also pray for 23 year-old Mike, who also went to Heaven this week after fighting the beast. He and his wife were just married in April.

And then pray for Mae. She is a family friend of my dear friend Jill's. Mae is close to Amberlea's age, and is losing her battle with a brain tumor (originally diagnosed as a grade III astrocytoma, or glioma). You can follow her story here.

I'm SOOOOOOOOOO excited about the sunscreen stations! I can't wait to have one at the Fun Fest! What a wonderful way to keep Brian's memory alive! Thanks, too, for posting Mae's link. All we can do is pray.
