my heart hurts for a friend

i have a friend who is truly in need of a medical miracle for a member of her family. this friend is a wonderfully funny and smart and generous person. she has a smile and laugh that can light up a room. she works hard and is a good mother who would walk to the ends of the earth for her family. she tackles challenges with her head up.

nobody ever said life was fair, but damn, this is so unfair. this family shouldn't have to be in this position. i just can't imagine the fear and pain and stress. i can't imagine knowing that when you are in need of a transplant organ, that somebody else will have to lose their life to save yours.

if you pray, please pray. if you shake chicken bones, please shake them. if you are one with the universe, please put in a request that this family find some peace by way of a successful transplant.
