A friend of ours has recently found out she has breast cancer. After several weeks of consultation, biopsies, prayer and deliberation she went ahead with the big and difficult decision. She had a double mastectomy. Yesterday as I was driving past her house I was startled to see that her fence was adorned with numerous brassieres. My simple mind spent several hours pondering the meaning. Since the bras seemed to be in all shapes and sizes I decided that these had been placed there by friends as a sign of their “support”. What an incredible, overt act of love and defiance and solidarity. You go, girl. We are still praying.
Been out of blog-reading for a bit, so a little late on this one. This is an incredibly sweet and supportive (no pun intended) gesture. She is so very blessed to have friends like these. I only hope that if I'm ever confronted with something like this that I'll be lucky enough to have friends like hers.
