Ages ago, when I started reselling my kids outgrown clothes on eBay, I joined a mom's forum. The purpose of the forum was to teach and support each other with online selling. It ended up being a lot more though. I met many wonderful friends and that board also introduced me to custom boutique...and learning to sew...and selling my clothing...you get the idea.
One of the wonderful ladies I met was Dorien aka: Bompie. (that was her screen name on the forum.) Dorien has an amazing family, you can feel their love for each other right through the computer screen. She is what I would call a positive realist. She is always positive, but not in a "blowing sunshine..." type way. I am sure I don't just speak for myself, but many of the other ladies as well, when I say I immediately fell in love with her and her family. They have 4 kids from ages 9 to college. She is also a blogger and I followed their adventures on her blog for many years.
Last month her husband, Kyle, was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. He's 44.
She has been writing about their journey on a new blog called "this is what I've got for today." She is a great writer and her posts are inspiring, heartfelt, and sometimes raw...but always worth reading.

Ever since I found out I have been hurting for my friend and her family...and praying for them a lot. If you could send some prayers their way, I know they would be greatly appreciated. You can find out other ways to help her family on their blog as well.
