It is with a heavy heart that I (Hubby) am posting again on Katie’s blog. Katie’s mom lost her courageous battle with cancer yesterday. She was only 56 years old. We were blessed to be able to be by her bedside until the end. She is undoubtedly in heaven where I’m sure they celebrated her arrival.
Michelle was kind, loving, dedicated, proud, accepting and
had a true zest for life. If you met her, you loved everything about her. Katie is truly
her mother’s daughter.
While it is difficult to do, we’re trying to celebrate her
life as opposed to thinking about her passing.
Since her initial diagnosis over 12 years ago, Michelle saw high school
and college graduations from her kids, 2 of her kids’ weddings, explored Europe
with Katie and did countless other things. We all have memories of Michelle that would
have not existed had she not beaten that diagnosis 12 years ago.
Those memories will live on forever.
Katie loves this blog and truly enjoys hearing from every single
one of you. I don’t imagine it will be very
long before she posts again, but this was one post that she just couldn't write. She’s written about her mom’s health a lot
lately and she wanted you all to know what is going on.
Your comments make her smile all of the time and she needs that more than ever right now.
Your comments make her smile all of the time and she needs that more than ever right now.
Thanks for reading and please, celebrate life today and every day.
Katie (and family), I am so, so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain, but it sounds like you're in the right mindset by celebrating the life of a beautiful woman. God bless you guys in the many difficult days ahead.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Genna, for your sweet words. <3

Dear Katie, family, and friends,
ReplyDeleteI am praying and will continue to pray for you all. This is such a difficult situation to be in, and I can't even imagine the pain. I'm so sorry. Stay strong and just imagine her looking down on you all and watching over you. I imagine she'd love to see you all happy.
Thank you, sweet girl.

Katie, I am so desperately sorry for your loss. I know there is nothing that I can say to ease anything but if you ever need to talk, email me or I'll send you my number. Losing my mom last year was and continues to be the hardest experience of my life. Xoxo

I am so sorry for your loss... there really are no words that anyone can say during these times in others lives. I will have prayers for your family throughout the next week.
DeleteThank you so much. I’m praying that God gives me peace and a sense of calm with all of this. I just miss her and always will, simple as that. As for you wanting my address, of course it’s not creepy at all! Check your email!

Thinking of you and your family Katie during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI always thought of a big party for my mom when she entered Heaven...because she was just that amazing and Heaven was so lucky to have her. And it seems like your Mom also kicked butt. So they are havin' a big ole' party up there, welcoming her. I am sure of it :) All her favorite things included.
I will continue to think about you over the next few weeks and months.

Katie and Zack,
ReplyDeleteI am so deeply sorry for your loss. I've been praying for your mom since I began following your blog. I wish there was something I could say to make this easier, but I know there's not. I know that even though you are sad, a part of you is still able to celebrate the fact that your mom is with Jesus, healthy as can be! We all love you and are here for you!
You are so sweet, Rachael. Thank you for your prayers! And you're absolutely right: I'm so sad but rejoicing at the same time, and that's what's keeping me sane. Love you!

Katie girl I feel your pain. I am so glad you are viewing her passing by celebrating all things you got to do together instead of dwelling on all the things you won't get to do. You are SO BLESSED to have had her so long in your life...losing a parent is NEVER easy (esp if you were as young as me 13 my mom had breast cancer then kidney cancer)
ReplyDeleteHang in there. Thinking of you!
Ah, girl, you know exactly what this is like. It’s the most difficult thing I’ve ever gone through, but thank you for reminding me of how blessed I am! So much love to you <3

Oh Katie :( I have only read your blog a short time, but I was sure your mom would conquer this with God's power behind her...was not expecting to read this post today!

Thinking of you Katie. I just lost my mom too, so I understand. It is so important to celebrate the memories and remember everything you experienced together instead of thinking of what you won't get to.
ReplyDeleteOh, Tiff, I’m thinking of you too. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced, but it doesn’t help at ALL to think of what we won’t get to do. Thank you for reminding me to cherish the times we did have together. Much love to you, girl <3

Dear Katie,
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel. I lost my Dad to cancer about two years ago. he was 53. Sad to hear this terrible disease takes people from their loved one's all over the world. Be strong. According to this post you have a wonderful supporting husband. I am happy that you have someone going through this with you.
I am praying for you, your family and everyone who loved your mom!
Sincerely,
Julia from Germany

I am so sorry for your loss. I am a newer follower, but a big fan of the blog and instagram; and this is my first comment. It breaks my heart, but having gone through losing both parents, my Dad to cancer when I was 18 and my Mom 9 years ago, it doesn't get any easier. But, from what I can see she has fabulous family support and a very loving husband that will be sure that she gets through this saddening time. You and your family are defiantely in my thoughts and prayers!
ReplyDeletePlease take care!

So sorry to hear of your loss Katie - I read about it over on Zack's blog and felt the need to comment. I too lost my mother just a few days after she turned 56 due to non-Hodgkins lymphoma. That was just under 10 years ago and I still miss her every day. May your beautiful memories and the love she had for you get you through this terrible time. It definitely helped to let myself feel whatever I was going to feel - and that meant I could be fine one minute and not the next. May your faith carry you through this time and the knowledge that when you see her again she will be healthy and strong, and waiting for you with open arms (Rev 21: 3,4).
ReplyDeleteOh, Jennifer, I am so sorry for your loss, as well. I hate that so many of us have similar stories. You are so sweet for coming to my blog and commenting. I love verse, too, so much. Thank you for sharing <3

Katie. I am devastated for you. No word I type here seems to be enough because I know there is truly nothing any of us can say that will bring her back. Just know I am here for you everyday and at any time. I know how raw that pain is and I know losing your sweet mother is unlike any pain you've ever had to face. She was such a beautiful woman and I can tell through you and through the love that you've spread to people like me in their times of loss that she raised a wonderful young woman.
ReplyDeleteI want to tell you that I am so sorry. But I know how those words start to blur into the madness that is everything going on right now. Just know I am here and I am praying. And that your mother is in wonderful hands. All my love and hugs!!! xoxo

My heart hurts for you, Katie. Cherish your memories, and take all the time you need to grieve. My brother died suddenly of a heart attack 8 years ago, and I still can't sing through "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" because that is the song we sang in church the Sunday after he died. Daily life will get easier. Praying for you and your family, and asking for God's comfort to enfold you.

My heart breaks for you. Katie... I lost my mom fourteen years ago Monday. It doesn't get "easier" but the pain subsides and lessens at times. Some days will be devastating and other days will be full of love. Make your momma proud, as I'm sure you do. On the days that are difficult, try to imagine what your mother would want. Would she want you paralyzed with pain and sadness or would she want you to live life to the fullest?
ReplyDelete<3 I'm always here for you, friend.
Thank you so much. I needed to read those words. Thank you for being here, Sarah. You’re so right: my mom would never want me to be paralyzed with pain and sadness, although I need to constantly remind myself of that, otherwise I would be just that, all the time.
