An ear to heaven

Every single night, for almost two years, my daughter has asked God to heal my friend Diana of her leukemia. He finally answered Mia's faithful prayer, because Diana died yesterday.

I have no doubt that Diana already has heaven on its ear. I hope God likes to play Scrabble and watch reruns of Dr. Who.

Thank you, God, for the extraordinary privilege of knowing and loving her. And Lord? I could use a little healing today too. Something feels broken.

Morning Wendy

I'll pray that God lays his hand on your heart and eases your sadness. Your memories of Diana will be with you always. The heart never forgets.

God Bless

Wendy,

I'm so sorry for your heartache. Diana sounded like a force to be reckoned with and I'm glad you had her in your life.

I'm sorry you lost a great friend. I'm sure you know her spirit lives within you and around you. I know I've gained something just by what you've written about her.

So sorry for your loss...

I never met Diana I always felt like I knew her a little just by following her story here - God bless you Wendy - I'm thinking of you a bit more than usual today

Oh Wendy, I'm so sorry. Even though I didn't know Diana personally, I felt a connection to her through your words. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. May God ease your sadness and bless you for being such a wonderful friend to her.
