Folks, it was amazing. The day was such a gift! A few days earlier she was looking and feeling horrible, but yesterday she was stunning and having little pain. We were expecting to spend five minutes at a time with her in a hospital room, going in little groups, but instead our whole group got to spend three hours hanging out together in her living room. We chatted, laughed, ate, and prayed - pretty much par for the course in our group of friends. Yes, some tears were shed, but the overall mood of our time together was positive and fun.
I'm so thankful, so very thankful, for time spent with the group as a whole and with one friend who is deeply loved, will be enjoyed during whatever time she has left, and will be deeply missed when she is gone.

I am so glad you all got to go and love on her. I love this picture.
I was feeling sad I wasn't able to come and then thought, duh, I shouldn't anyway because I have the coughing crud. I'm so glad you all had a good time.

I am so very glad you all were able to spend precious time with Melanie. Yet also sad that I couldn't be there. I just love our SL Sisterhood! ((hug))
I'm so glad so many were able to gather around her and remind her how loved she is!
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this. :( Glad you guys were blessed with such an awesome day together.
