On June 26th I requested prayers for Megan Speck. She was the lady I knew from BSF who was dying of cancer. You can read her request here. Anyway, my friend who was our leader last year just called me to tell me that Megan passed away yesterday. She leaves behind her 3 year old daughter Sophie, the loving parents who have been caring for her and her daughter, and a lot of family and friends who knew and loved her. I was really surprised to learn that Megan, knowing she didn’t have long to live, got married on July 15th! She spent her last days with the man she loves and her family and friends. That is amazing to me.
Though I didn’t know her well, I grieve with her family, especially her little girl and her mother. As a mother myself, it makes my heart hurt to even think about losing my daughter to cancer, or how my mom would feel if she lost me that way. I’ve also experienced growing up without one of my parents and I pray that Sophie will remember her mother and the good things she taught her in her young life.
Thank you for the prayers that I know God heard. Send another one up and thank God for the influence Megan had on those around her and for allowing her to be here for as long as she was.
Sometimes I Write 
I read this post yesterday, but didn’t comment. Honestly, it’s really hard to say anything without sounding trite. Jen lost her mom at 17 to a 14 year battle with Lou Gherig’s disease. Her only sibling died 3 years ago in a drunk driving crash. We’ve walked the road of pain and loss together, and I can say from being there that nothing is every truly sufficient but listening and loving. I wish plenty of both for Heather’s family.

I pray that they will find peace in knowing that she is peaceful. It is hard for those left behind and I pray that they will come closer together and lean on each other when it gets tough. I am so glad for my faith in tough times and I pray that they will lean on God when it is too hard to even breathe.
