When I see this photo, I think of my sweet friend Monica's amazing qualities!She is so strong.
She is a fighter.
She is a wonderful mother....and
She WANTS to live.
That's right, you heard me: she wants to LIVE.
You see, she has cancer. She found out about her adrenal cancer when she was around 20-25 weeks pregnant with her baby. They removed a tumor the size of an orange.
Since then (May 2010), she's been fighting with all her might, all the while raising her 3 beautiful children (Isaac, Destiny and Evva).
While we were camping with her two oldest cuties, she got some bad news. The cancer was spreading fast (2 tumors on her kidney, 2 on her liver and is NOT operable).
YET, she has still not given up on LIFE!
She wants to see her babys grow and she is fighting hard!
I have grown to love this family so much and want to do all I can to help them out. Last minute, the day before she started her agressive chemo I had this crazy idea of taking her families photos and we did. Despite the rainy (and I mean heavy rain) forecast, we found a spot that was covered. In the end, we didn't need to be in a covered spot because the skies cleared for all of 20-30 minutes right while we were taking photos. All the children were cooperative and smiles and I was really pleased with the shots we got in the little time we had! As soon as we began walking back to the cars, it started to pour rain. God was watching over us that day, no doubt in my mind.
This is Evva (10months old in this photo) and her mommy
Isaac (10 years old) and his momma!
Destiny (8 years old) and her momma!
Danny, Evva and Monica.
When you think of my friend Monica, please say a prayer for her and her little family!
