This morning I received a call from Kansas City from one of my oldest, closet friends. She lost her sister last night to cancer.......this is the second sister she has lost to cancer......the first from breast cancer at age 28 and now her second sister at 36. This sister beat breast cancer......inflammatory breast cancer.....the most aggressive kind only to have cancer return as brain cancer.......when I see the toll this took on such a beautiful person in only a year......I have to ask WHY???
This is a family I became very close with over 25 years ago.......though geographical distance has separated us...we always managed to stay in one another's "business". I will miss Kaci sooooooo much. She truly was a beautiful person with an infectious laugh no one will ever forget. Another hole is left in their family. Please pray for her remaining sisters, Krysti, Klover and Kim. As well as her husband Darren and her two young sons...You can only imagine the devastation her parents are feeling after losing yet another child. My only solace is knowing that she and Kricket are together and will forever watch over their family until they can all be together again.
When they say life is not fair......this is a perfect example of why.
I am posting one of my favorite pictures of Kaci (she's in the middle) so you can see her beautiful smile. Rest in peace Kaci - You are loved and will be missed by many.

They say a parent should never have to bury a child..let alone two. I am so broken hearted for her parents and family and i'm sorry that you have lost another friend to cancer. I can only keep praying that Mom stays in remission (lung cancer) for the rest of her journey on this earth and does not suffer from that horrible thing called cancer. The ladies are so beautiful in that picture..it shows that no one is immuned to sicknesses and it can grab us at anytime. Enjoy the best times life has to offer NOW and don't fret about tomorrow. Love ya girl. xo

Thanks for your comment and thoughts Air.......I too will hope and pray that your mom makes it through and continues her journey cancer free. Kaci was a beautiful person and she is missed....but mostly I hate what this does to the people left behind.......because I know in my heart that Kaci is a whole person again and without pain, holding hands with her sister watching over the rest of her family.
