Faith

Last week I learned that a friend that I'd met through the Knot (a wedding-planning website) long ago, has recently been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her abdomen. Emilie and her husband Stephen married two weeks after Edwin and I, also on Summit Avenue in Saint Paul. She is mom to a one-year-old son, and pregnant with her second child. And now she may be fighting for her life. The surgery to remove the tumor has been scheduled for Friday.

I am relieved that there are close friends and family to support her during this time, and I'm hoping that all can go as well as it can possibly go on Friday.
