About Me

- This is a picture of my daughter, Maura. She died from metastatic high-grade unclassified sarcoma* on May 19, 2009 at the age of 22. For one year I wrote about her journey with cancer. I don't know if I'll keep writing now or if I'm done. We'll just take it a day at a time. *Sarcoma is a little-known, under-researched, under-funded cancer. To contribute directly to research please consider giving a gift directly to: MD Anderson Cancer Center- Donations, PO Box 4486, Houston TX 77210-4486 ****(Please write "In memory of Maura de Souza " in the memo portion of the check to make sure it goes directly for sarcoma research.)

Why do you ever apologize? I would never. You're just too sweet I supposed.
no need to apologize, loved one.
Praying for the ability to trust in His strength when we are so weak. Trust and take comfort and feel the true love of Christ. I also am praying that you can feel the love that all of us, that care for your family so, are sending you every day.
The weekend or so after Maura went to Heaven, my pastor had a sermon series about Heaven. He's actually had two different series about the subject. But one of the things he said that has brought me a smidgen of peace, is that Maura is praying for us up there. She still knows us and prays for us. The saved and unsaved friends and loved ones. And especially the hurting and pained loved ones. I hope that in my times of weakness, that happen so often, she is praying for me, but I'm grateful to know that she's praying for ya'll.
I truly am grateful that God is your rock, because this is too hard to try to lean on anything else. I love you guys so much and really do pray for you every day.

This is a great place to vent! No need to apologize. Every time I hear the song you had on Maura's slideshow...Not sure of the name but it goes "There's a peace I've come to know, though my heart and flesh may fail...theres an anchor for my soul...I can say it is well...." I think of you and stop what I am doing to pray for you and your family. I pray for overwhelming peace that only God can give, and I pray for healing (though it may be slow) for your broken heart... There is a song by casting crowns that would be wonderful for you to hear called Praise you in this storm. The chorus goes "I'll praise you in this storm, I will lift my hands. You are who you are, no matter where I am. Every tear I've cried you hold in your hands, you never left my side, though my heart is torn...I will praise you in this storm" God bless you!
