As many of you know, last week my sister Brandy's husband, Tom was diagnosed with melanoma.  He  found a lump underneath his arm and had a first operation on it about two weeks ago.  He had another operation last Friday to remove more of the mass.  He is doing well and recovering this week.  They will be doing scans tomorrow before he sees an oncologist to get a treatment plan.  He is such an inspiration to me and always has been.  I went to visit him and their cute little family on Sunday. He was resting in bed, so I climbed right in and we talked and laughed and I cried.  He is in great spirits, and like me... will fight like hell.  #TeamTommy

None of us understand why we have the trials we do in life.  I do know that our character is built through these trails.  Rather it a death of a loved one, divorce, disease, sickness, financial stress, job loss or just plain old day to day trials.  We are tested and  pushed to the limits to define us and our strength.  Our Heavenly father is very aware of us and our needs.  He knows our heart aches, struggles and frustrations more than we know.  It is our responsibility to go to him, daily and ask for help and strength to get us and our loves ones through this life.  He will help and guide us to become the people that we are destined to be.  He is waiting for us to humble ourselves and ask for help.  No matter your religion, race, beliefs or background.  We all have spirituality within us and it is mighty and powerful.
