I chat with numerous ladies on a board that we all share a similar interest. Scrapbooking. Erin was the sunshine that brightened up any day. She always had a nice thing to say, no matter what was going on in her life. Erin, sadly had a battle with cancer, and cancer won today. It was an extremely sad day to hear that Heaven got a new angel today. And that is truly what Erin was…. an angel. She was a young mother of a beautiful little boy, Luke. Her husband Jared, is now to raise this precious little boy on his own.
Erin and I always talked about meeting for coffee, and taking our kids to The Fun Factory for a play date. Sadly, we won’t ever be able to do that. My heart is so heavy knowing that such an amazing person has left this earth too early. She has left footprints on my heart.
A friend of mine lost her dad a year ago today. We had always talked about participating in a run/walk for cancer awareness. After the loss of such a dear person has made me want to do this even more. This is something that I’m going to season myself to do, and the next big race/fundraiser, I will be there. We, as a society, need to do whatever we can to find an end to this horrific disease. We need to find a cure, there is just no getting around it.
Thank you Erin for your kind words, and support through the crap that had gone in my life. Even with everything that was going on with her, that she was always concerned for others, and put them before her own problems.
Rest in peace dear friend, we will meet in Heaven and have that cup of coffee, and have our children play together.
