One interview

Yesterday I interviewed a woman who is the same age as my daughter Terra. She weighs as much as my daughter Jennica. And she has two children, a husband who adores her and a brain tumor.
The brain tumor is scary. She's been dizzy, sick to her stomach and in pain. But what touched me more than anything was her mother-in-law. I could tell how much the woman loves this young woman. She struggled to keep her emotions in tack. I tried so hard to keep it together, but it was difficult.
I wanted to hug my daughters, my sons, my grandchildren, my husband, my daughters-in-law, my sons-in-law, and my mother-in-law. I know we have problems, but my problems are nothing compared to this sweet family.
They do not think they were that special to interview. They are just ordinary people. I'm an ordinary woman too. I know what put the "news" in their lives was the outpouring of love they received from the community and their workplace. They have touched so many people that others want them to have joy, laughter and love. I understand that.
I felt their love and I only want the best for all of them. They touched my live and in a positive way.
Too many times people worry about me and about the stories I write because they think the negative stories are going to do me in. What they and sometimes I fail to realize, the positive stories impact me more, much more, than any negative story will.
Katrina and Scott you are my hereos. You are there with others who have faced the worse that can be dished out to them and yet still remember to love others, laugh with them and bring joy into their lives, even if it is for a brief moment.
