Flowers for Leontien

One day you’re going through life, enjoying the simple things like starting a new farm, playing with a gorgeous horse, and hanging out with a handsome man with whom you’re planning a future.

 The next you get news that changes everything. and find yourself fighting an

unforeseen battle.

 

 That’s exactly what happened to my good friend Leontien.

 
I still have a difficult time coming to terms with the idea that this wonderful person with whom I shared so many good times, and who was always so full of life, strength and happiness, can possibly be fighting for her life. It's something I always assumed happened to people I didn't know.

Seeing someone you love, especially someone as young, vibrant, and loved as Leontien fighting for survival is a humbling and heartbreaking experience.

Since being diagnosed with cancer she’s been taking things one day at a time and surviving. She’s had good days and bad days, and takes each one as it comes.

One very clever blogger, decided to organize a massive blog event called Flowers for Leontien. You can learn more about the event, and learn how you can participate, by visiting this blog post.

All of my hope and love and hugs goes to Leontien.
