Good morning! WOW! Woke up with tons of questions/thoughts this morning! 3 months to go and so many things have changed from our original plans. I've managed to go with the flow with very little "break down" moments. Thank goodness but I think its all catching up to me now for good reasons. First, and most important, my sister, my maid of honor, has melanoma on her leg (diagnosed 2 weeks ago). She has had 2 previous dealings with it on her forehead. Having back pain, she had an MRI which shows a mass on her kidney. Because of her leg, the doctors are thinking it is cancer. Once she isnt snowed in, she will have some further testing done and we should know a definitive answer within a few weeks. I can't even breathe thinking about the possibility! Shes only 46 years old. She has a son who is 10 years old. If she is ill, I can't imagine having the wedding (to say the least). I would feel so horrible. I'm praying and hoping for the best for her and the family.
My church "family" is hosting a couples shower for us this coming Saturday. I just found out yesterday that the bridesmaids have contributed "some" of their own money to the church for things THEY personally wanted to include. Because my sister has no health insurance and on disability, I don't want her to put out any money for this shower. Is there a way I can do this without insulting the other bridesmaids? They may very well have decided to not take my sisters portion but I don't want them to take on the "extra" financial burden. I am extremely uncomfortable with anyone doing anything for me (it a therapy worthy emotion). If this is an easy answer, I'm not arriving at it. I'm somewhat frozen in fear and cant seem to think straight. Please lift my sister up in prayer and also, my 41 year old brother. He called last night and told me that he may have tongue cancer. Left a message, so I'm not sure what is going on with him! Ugh...my chest feels like its going to explode.
