"Glory Be To God" by Grace

Glory be to God for...my Auntie Maria for her amazing strength through the toughest times of her life.

Thank you God for her beautiful spirit. She has had a very heartbreaking diagnosis of cancer.

She is the best and funniest most lovable and stunningly gorgeous Godmother you could ever ask for.

Praise Him.



Under that amazingly heart-wrenching prayer Grace drew a picture of the two of us. We are both smiling, clearly out shopping (purses in hand), I have short hair and I'm wearing an orange shirt (I know she did this on purpose because she knows it is my favorite color).


When you have cancer you seem to live your life in a series of moments. Moments when you feel well (or like your "real" self) and moments when you feel bad and just pray for night to come so you can start a new day.

However, it is the moments when I realize how much my being ill affects my nieces and nephews that move me the most. To read Grace write "best and funniest."
Best and Funniest will keep me going for a long time.
These are the moments that give me strength.

I love you Grace,
Auntie Maria
