ok... so i've contemplated writing this blog a couple times... its got both saddness and happiness in it... mostly saddness.... my best friends mom got cancer a couple years ago and almost died... somehow she pulled through even though the doctors told her she didn't have much of a chance. So everything was going good for about 2 years when the cancer came back, after several chemo treatments she seemed to be beating it again, then with her immune system down she got one of those one in a million diseases she went into a coma and they had to put her on life support... i spent several nights in madison with the family just praying and hoping, finally the doctors told us that we had to make a decision... i say we because this was my second mom, i spent every christmas at her house I spent more time at her house then I did my own... so the family wanted my input... after some discussion her 2 sons decided that it was best if we took her off of life support... they decided to do it the next day while I was at work... about 3 o'clock in the afternoon they called, after they took her off the life support she started breathing on her own and then woke up a couple of hours later. The amazing thing about this isn't only that she woke up, it was that her son was at her bedside praying, and he asked what more he had to do, he had changed his life around 180 degrees... he was doing everything he could to be a better person and he asked god for a sign... 2 seconds later she woke up... if i didn't believe in miracles I did after that... as soon as I got off work I drove straight to madison to see her and give her a hug... she started to get better, they even let her come home for a couple weeks... She was only an hour away but work kept me to busy to get their and hang out... and the weekend I had free that I was going to town to see her went from me hanging out to me being a pall bearer...I felt like I lost my own mom...sorry if this was a downer to read but I felt I owed certain people an explaination on why I got so sad and wouldn't talk about what was going on
