Dear Heather, I just came across this through TJ. It's been a long time since I've seen you all, but I've thought of your family often over the years. I'm so, so sorry to know of this. Will be praying for you all in the days and weeks to come.
Oh Heather and Dave and boys. Such heartbreaking words. I’m in the car with my Avery on her third day of driving. Tears flow remembering the way your family has loved mine. Mostly when I stayed at your house while Tom was in the hospital. Your steady kindness.. your willingness to bear witness to brokenness. I am so grateful for your brave grace. Knowing that things fall apart and our brokenness is held and seen by God. Sometimes that makes me scream. Sometimes that settles my heart.
Now I just lament I weep for the pain you’re in. I weep for your boys bearing witness to the ordinary indignities of illness.
I pray that there will be laughter. I pray that there will be silly. I pray that there is relief along the way. Maybe words and friendships will feel like hugs. May you be surprised by joy.
Oh Heather, my thoughts and prayers are with you! We may have only met once, but you and your family's welcoming hospitality, spiritual encouragement, and friendship offered that day I have carried with me ever since and I will never forget! May the Lord continue to strengthen your faith, as well as your body as you fight this! ♥️ in Christ!
Many, multiple. Not words anyone wanted to hear. I love you so much, and I hate this for you and for your family. I am thinking of the Word made flesh, the Man of Sorrows, bearing our grief. May this constant friend draw near, enfold you under his mighty wings, sing over you with his love.
Heather, you i are an inspiration to all of us! Sharing your hardest moments takes immense courage .I will continue to remember your name when talking to God.He is surely in the midst of it all .Much love to you from Durham NC and Mt. Level Church!

Thank you sharing so openly and honestly. I am praying for you daily. May our Lord surround all of you.
Your honest faith is an amazing example Heather. Prayers for God's strength and peace.
I’m so, so sad you are suffering. I hope you hear better news very soon and they find a treatment that will bring you relief.

With you in prayer, Heather. Lifting you and all of this to our merciful Lord. Thank you for giving us windows into your world.
It's hard to feel these words but I have to cling to them....
"But we know that you are God
Yours is the victory.
And we know there is more to come that we may not yet see.
So with the faith you've given us
We step into the valley unafraid.
As we cry out to dry bones, "Come alive, come alive!"
As we cry out to dead hearts, "Come alive, come alive!"
Up out of the ashes let us see an army rise
As we call out to dry bones, "Come alive!"
