cancer is an a-hole

my friend andrea lost her year-long battle with inflammatory breast cancer this morning. on one hand i am so so sad yet on the other hand i am happy that she is finally at peace and is no longer suffering. it's a weird feeling. andrea's spirit lives on in her six amazing children and wonderful husband, kelly. for those of you who don't know her, you can read about her life, her family and her battle with cancer here. please pray for the Collins-Smith family. they need it.
