Can I ask a favor...

I need prayers and positive thoughts for my aunt (mom's sister). Here name is Barbara. We found out yesterday that she has a stage 4 essentially inoperable malignant brain tumor and probably has about a year to live. Soon she will begin to have seizures and will eventually lose all muscle control. This is a 60 year old vibrant, funny, caring woman with three grown children, two grandchildren and lots of life in her. When I announced I was marrying a man from the Philippines (18 years ago), she was the ONLY member of my family to celebrate with us in any way, including my parents. My parents yelled at me and got very angry. My aunt gave us a really nice gift, many hugs, an incredible amount of moral support, and a card that said "Love is always worth celebrating!" I really wish I still had that card. It means the world to me now...

Thanks Nicole. That means a lot to me. My cousin (the only one of her children with her right now) is going crazy. She's trying to deal with the reality of all of this, get her brother to Madison from Atlanta, deal with my grandmother who thinks my aunt is just being a whiner (if it doesn't hurt, just go home and forget about it), and get her 5th grader ready for school next week. My mother has been in tears for the last two days and I'm trying to put up a brave front for my kids. They know she's really sick but don't understand the finality of the whole situation. No need for them to be weighed down with this for a whole year (hopefully much more - God willing).
