Through all of this yucky flu season, I am often reminded on how blessed I am to have healthy children and a healthy husband. Yeah, we have had the sniffles and nasty allergy issues, but my babies are all under one roof, sleeping in their own beds and spending time as a family. I try to never take that for granted!
For Morgan, this is exactly what her parents are now facing. Morgan is one of Brad's senior students. Brad has been quite close to Morgan and her family after teaching her drivers ed and than taking her along with a few other North students to California this summer for a National FBLA competition. She is a starting volleyball player for North as well. About a week after we took the family to go see her play in a volleyball tournament is when we got the news about her. She had gotten sick at school one day and the nurse had noticed some unusual movement or lack of movement and call 911. They found bleeding in her brain and now has been diagnosed with the worst kind of cancerous brain tumor. She is now in TX undergoing serious brain surgery to try to remove most of the tumor that is around her spinal cord and than having 6 weeks of chemo and radiation directed right into this spot in her brain. Her parents are with her in Texas, but her two brothers are in school back here in Georgia. We pray as a family and we are praying as a community around this family for strength and recovery!
I know many of you have recently been touched by stories of cancer in your family and close friends. Being breast cancer awareness month, we not only remember and pray for those with breast cancer, but those who are fighting with all different kinds of cancer.

Thanks everyone!

Hearing about tragic stories such as this leave us wondering why this happens? It breaks my heart to hear about Brad's student Morgan. I'm so sorry. She is in our prayers and I will pass her name on to my bible study. Love, mom
