I cannot believe I didn't know about this thread until JUST TONIGHT. I wish I had known about it sooner. (Thanks, Phil, for mentioning it at the Pond) I had been in contact with Rachel a little bit shortly after her leukemia returned, and she has been in my thoughts and prayers since then.
Rachel, Don, and family I am praying for you all right now. Praying for peace, comfort and strength in the times to come. It's so hard to let go, but knowing she'll soon be with her Lord and Savior, and no longer in pain... Think about going to sleep and waking up to see Jesus! Oh, how glorious that will be for you, Rachel! I know you're clinging to Him now, and will soon see His wonderful face!
Don, words cannot express how sad I am for you and your boys. Just know that so many people here are praying for you all right now. Cherish your time with Rachel, and hold your memories close. I hope they can bring you some comfort.
