We’re Coping…
Life without Alese has been difficult…
Over the last five years, the focus of our family has been on Alese’s health and during this time everyone has made sacrifices to ensure that this smart, vibrant, insightful sister and daughter receive whatever she needed to get her through whatever challenge she faced.
None of us have any regrets at any level; we did everything, and we were prepared to do whatever we had to do to ensure she lived a quality life.
When the events of March 14th occurred, everything changed. She went from living with Hodgkin’s in a fairly manageably state, into a death spiral that left in hospitalized 49 of the last 54 days of her life.
It’s difficult to put into words, our lives just stopped… For Alese in the literal sense, for our family, life as we knew it has radically changed. Our daughter, Mark and Shallyn’s sister was no longer part of our everyday life, Alese’s amazing wisdom, quick wit, insightfulness and discerning spirit all ended. The void we feel without her is hard to put into words.
These are difficult days and we ask for your prayers as we move forward without her.
Father, give us strength. We ask more than anything that we do your will as we move forward, comfort our hearts, and heal our spirit. Give us wisdom and have mercy on us. More than anything Father, please allow our lives to bring praise and glory to you. Father, we also remember our friends who are afflicted with Hodgkin’s Disease, please bring comfort them, please heal them, please touch the lives of their families.
Blessings,
