GTD...such a wonderful lesson...Gratitude!

I am so grateful that I am healthy! I have a friend from High School (well..she was my friend,Jana's, friend). I babysat her daughter shortly after her son died in a pool drowning accident when he was 2. I babysat Nikki, Tracy's daughter, when Robert and I lived at Grandma Grossnickle's house for a couple of months about 13 years ago. Anyhow...the point of my story is that Tracy has been diagnosed with incurable cancer. She has it all over her body. In her brain, in her bones...everywhere. She has about 2 months to live, the doctors think. She will leave behind a new husband and a 15 year old daughter and 2 step-sons whom she loves dearly. I know , because of what I have been taught, that God will be with her every step of the way and He will receive her into the spirit world. I am sure she has a great work to do there and she will be taught well of her Savior. She has been amazingly strong and she is really cherishing the time she has left. I am so grateful for my family and my life here on Earth! I am reminded that we should not take any moment we have for granted!
