Later I thought how funny that statement was. Of course I could imagine it. My daughter has cancer, too! It was just so much nicer in my own brain to pretend I was with "them" instead of "us", the group I'm actually a part of. It's painful to realize the group I'm in.
It hit home this week when the above mentioned child passed away. I cried and cried and cried, because it was all too clear which group I am in. My group is lonely. My group is scary. I don't want to be with "us". I want to be with "them".
Rest in peace Logan. You have touched many lives, and I won't ever forget you.
Beautifully said, Katie. Lifting Logan's family up in prayer. And as always, your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruth. Prayers are always appreciate :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Katie, I'm so sorry. Prayers coming your way, sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly :) I do feel much better today than I did when I wrote this post.
ReplyDeleteLovely post Katie. Prayers and thoughts for the family and you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terrie!
ReplyDeleteNow it's my turn to say that I can't imagine what you're going through. I'm lucky enough for that statement to be true. You're strong though or you wouldn't be able to share on this blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, no, I'm so sorry to hear about Logan. Thoughts are with his family and yours, Katie.
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about Logan. I know it doesn't help, but he's in a better place now. And I'm sorry you and your little girl have to be in the "us" group. But it has to be because you are so strong and your daughter needs someone as strong as you to help her along the way. Keep the faith and know that you and everyone else in the "us" group are in our prayers.
