bridal heartache/epiphany

i will try to keep this as 'cliff's notes' as possible as the last few days have been pretty hard.

soooooooooo my best friend was supposed to get married this october at her dream venue and to her dream fh...all along her mother has had stage 4 brain cancer for the past 5 years...

fast forward to this past friday when she found out her mother is going into hospice care.

her RH and church had an opening for march 11 so now the wedding will go on!

this is such a heartbreaking thing to watch my best friend go through and i love her mom very much so this is truly a bittersweet time.

it makes me so happy that my friend gets to have one of her last memories with her mom be something so important to her at the hall of her dreams to the man of her dreams and that her mom will get to see her walk down the aisle in a white dress. life is not fair and she is truly blessed.

i know a lot of you girls on here have lost parents and close relatives and i can't even begin to imagine the pain that hits you every day. just seeing my friend go through this and how wearing it is- i wish i could take even the tiniest amount of her pain from her.

it also makes you really think about what is important in life. it sounds so cliche but it is so true. she will have her hall and her dress and all of her friends and family there but she will never get to accomplish anywhere near the amount of 'checks' that we get excited about every day.

you only get one mother and hopefully only one wedding and i hope this wedding will be everything she has dreamed of.

now....i have to start writing my maid of honor speech! i thought i had a few more months for this- any help is more than welcome
