Proud Wife Over Here

My husband and his closest friends did an awesome thing yesterday. After a few months of planning, hundreds of phone calls and endless hours, they put together a wonderful golf tournament and dinner/auction for our sweet friend Marsi. My husband has known Marsi since Kindergarten, her family still lives down the street from my in laws. When they were little, my sister in law would babysit Marsi. They went to high school together and Marsi's husband was also one of the guys from high school.
Just a couple of years ago she was diagnosed with breast cancer and after treatment she was cancer free.
It's back.
And it is aggressive. It is triple negative breast cancer.
This weekend they raised $32,000 for her. The love and generosity in the room was humbling and beautiful. She is in our prayers every single day.
