I am asking for prayers for my dear friend. She has always been the first to help others and finds it so hard to ask for help when she needs it. Even when health issues have confined her mostly to her home she has been a source of comfort and wisdom for friends and family members over the years, hours spent counseling by phone or in person when they have come to her.
Since last fall she had difficulty breathing, between asthma and pneumonia, many doctor's visits, and meds, she had not been able to shake it.
A couple of weeks ago she was sent to a larger hospital and they discovered that besides the pneumonia she had a staph infection and blood clot in one lung. After a weeks' stay they had taken care of the infection and she is back home, on oxygen and still feeling weak and unable to do much of anything.
In spite of health issues including heart surgery, and a bout with cancer she has raised her granddaughter since she was a small child to be the strong, competent confident young woman who is graduating from high school this week and heading to college to study veterinary medicine.
Please pray for strength and healing for this very special woman.

Thank you for your concern and prayers. Mary made it to the graduation party, though it took an electric wheel chair and oxygen, but she was looking perkier than I've seen her in quite a while. With a neat new hair cut and her lovely smile, and a lot of visible pride in the granddaughter she had raised.
She once asked me why people she doesn't even know turn to her, sharing worries and cares, she has even ended helping a woman who was originally a wrong number on her phone. At the time I told her it was the smile that showed in her voice. She has had a lot of tough times in her life but always comes through for those around her.
At one time she mentioned wanting to write a children's book about recovering emotionally from abuse. I hope she does! Maybe with the lonely time of her granddaughter heading off to college she will find the time.

I'll be praying as well. Please tell her "thank you from far away"... because people touch one another through the stories told of their lives.

I have learned that to have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange of payment.

Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

Praying! Respiratory problems are the worse. Praying that your friend regains health and strength and continues to bless others.
