A dear friend of mine, Alese Coco, fought Hodgkin's Disease for 5 ½ years through 3 occurrences. She was faithful to Christ and strove to help others with Hodgkin's. She and her family dedicated themselves to that mission. Alese was a stunningly pretty blonde haired 23 year old blessing to those who knew her. She died on May 7, 2007 from complications arising from treating the Hodgkin's Disease. Her funeral was held on May 12, 2007 in Torrance, California. My heart is broken.
A dear friend of mine, Lydia N., has dedicated her life to God's service and will be a linguist and translator in Africa, bringing God's word to the people of Tanzania. She and her family dedicate themselves to helping others. Lydia is a stunningly pretty blonde haired 25 year old blessing to those who know her. For a long time she was unsure that she would ever marry. I encouraged her to find the right person. Ultimately, she found a young man who shared her passion for ministry and mission. She was married on May 12, 2007 in Hamilton, Ohio. My heart is overjoyed.
Which should I attend? The Wedding or The Funeral?
Both families will be surrounded by those who love them. Both young women share my faith and have dedicated themselves to service. Both are dear to me. Each ceremony marks a time that will never come again. Never again.
The Wedding or The Funeral?
Time is fleeting. Its gifts are sacred, chances fading like flowers for each.
Out of love for both.
I celebrated the Wedding.
Be Blessed, Lydia.
Be Blessed, Alese.
