My Friend Sally
Sally amazes me. For real. I've never seen someone carry the things in her life that she's been asked to bear and seen them do it with such grace. If ever there was an example of how to shoulder pain with grace and keep on saying yes to life and hope, it would be her. I'll tell you why. Sally had to face pain at a fairly young age. Her sister died unexpectedly while still in her teens, leaving Sally as the only remaining daughter and child of her loving and devoted parents. She went on to marry Tom and have two beautiful children - a son and a daughter. She poured herself into her profession as a high school English teacher as well as a big part of her church and local community. She and Tom did a lot to help her mom's business and also raise their kids well. And life was pretty good... until it wasn't. First, Tom got sick with cancer and then sadly, passed away. Suddenly, she found herself a widow with two young adult children and a life without her ...
