fight like a girl


today is a sad day ....we have lost a family member that no one can every replace... you know you always say when I grow up you want to be like that person...Malinda was that person I want to be like. She was the kindness, loving person you would ever meet. Her smile would warm up a room and take your cares away. She had been fighting cancer for the past 2 yrs. A fight she was not going to lose without a fight. She showed the strength of our family and never gave up. My prayers go out today to Tom, the boys, their families, and Mary. They all stood by her and now she is gone to be in a better place. NO MORE PAIN. The girls and I did Relay for Life this year for her and we will keep doing it for her memory. I guess any week for her go this week was a good one. As I direct Bible school...like she did all those years. I remember her curling my hair and letting me hold the boys after they were born. I was in her and Tom's wedding...as the flower girls (with a hat because I cut my hair the night before)...her coming up to see my girls and loving them as much as she loved me. When I grow up I want to be like you Malinda. Hopefully I can.
