Her name is Shari Bell, she is one of my bestfriends, she is a wonderful person, she is what every women should try to be like, she is filled with the love of God, she is in pain. Why? Because she is dying from skin cancer. I am trying to deal with pain, I am trying to comprehend, I am trying to see how her family is going to go on without her. I am so lost right now, I am writing this not for you but for me, maybe it will help, maybe it will inspire you. It started with a mole on her back two and half years ago, a mole she and I laughed at because it was ugly, it was a mole. This past 10 months it when from being removed to tested to slowely taking her life. I believe anyone close to her went in and had their moles checked, I haven't maybe I should. I have learned in the last 48 hours that her battle is coming to an end, that she is leaving Ohio and going home to Utah to be with her family. In my mind I know that this is what she needs to do, but in my heart I want her to stay here. Since we left Utah 4 years ago I have had a hard time, my nephew died, my grampa died last September and now Shari will return to her home for her final days. I watch from the outside looking in and I wonder to myself can you ever be prepared for something like this? How do you prepare your kids, your husband, yourself? My mind is racing so much that I don't sleep, I can't, I want to but sleep doesn't come. I am not ready to loose my bestfriend, before my surjery we were unsepratable. We were your crafty two, we love to shop, we love to go to lunch. Life is going to change, and with time I know I will feel comfort, but for now the tears don't stop, the headaches are coming on. Heavenly Father her my prayers, let her feel no more pain, heal her family and help her friends. No one should leave before their kids do, not someone so young. Please pray for the Bell family!
