I learned today of the heartbreaking passing of an amazing lady. Lu was an inspiration and was always so positive. She battled breast cancer for years, and I truly can not remember a time that I saw her when she wasn't smiling. Lu faced cancer with such immense grace...and she leaves behind a very large void.
She was the Mom of 2 wonderful kids, and my heart just aches for them. I know how much she cherished them, and their hearts must be just broken in half right now. :( Shawn was so saddened to hear of Lu's death, as he is friends with her son. He kept saying how bad he feels for him, and I how unfair it is. He said, "Cancer stinks". I agree.
Four years ago, Lu joined a few other friends and we rebuilt the PTO at Morse Pond school. Even though she was often in pain, she was always present, always involved and always smiling.
Lu leaves an incredible legacy for her 2 children. She taught them perseverance. She taught them grace. She taught them to never give up and to embrace & cherish each day. Through her example, she taught countless other people these lessons as well.
Heaven has a new angel today. She is free from pain and suffering, and will live forever in the memories she left behind.
Rest in peace, sweet Lu. You will be dearly missed. :(

- I've been blessed five times with amazing, beautiful children. My husband, Steve, is my best friend. We began this venture together over 10 years ago. He is an amazing Dad to all of the kids. We often find ourselves searching for time...time to talk and time to sit back and truly enjoy the gift of these children. I've started this blog as a way to jot my thoughts down. I've often had an experience with one of the kids and thought..."I need to write that down so I can remember that forever"...and then I forget. Hopefully this blog will help preserve some of those precious memories. Time is fleeting. People often meet me and when they hear I have 5 kids, they say, "gosh, you have your hands full." Yes, but they aren't nearly as full as my heart. :) I am THRILLED to be a Member of the 2010 Walt Disney World Moms Panel. It is a dream come true, and a combination of 2 of my favorite things: Walt Disney World and helping other people!
