i found myself laughing out loud last wednesday as i scrolled through the comments. they are always funny. always. but this wednesday night i needed to laugh more than any of you knew.

tuesday night i’d gotten the kind of phone call no one ever wants to get – especially if they live far away from loved ones. the biopsy showed my sister-in-law had bone cancer.
bone cancer.
not pneumonia.
not a pulled tendon.
not an infection around her rib area.
bone cancer.
she’s 25.
she and my baby brother have only been married 2 1/2 years.
the shock hurt so bad i forgot how to breathe.
or eat.
i found myself thinking: “so this is how it feels…..”
i spent the better part of wednesday in a daze – trying to figure out if i should fly home immediately or wait things out from 1,000 miles away. i cried on the couch with drew. cried on the phone with my daddy. cried on the phone with my mama. and cried after i got off the phone with my brother.
then i laughed with y’all.
your crazy comments were like medicine for my soul – giving me a reason to smile. to hope.
she and my brother are in good spirits right now, better than most of us in the family. and they have incredible hope – knowing that “these things happen for a reason….” they inspire me – i’m so proud of them.
so, this week i wanna laugh every day, not just on our favorite wednesdays… wanna join me?
to start, here’s two of my favorite and most laughable blogs:
