Thankful Post 7 "Yvette"

Today my post is about my sweet friend Yvette..

Again, I met her when she hired in here at work. From the beginning, she was always so sweet and kind to me. I personally think she is absolutely gorgeous! We were cubicle neighbors, and work out buddies, and we talked about EVERYTHING! Her and I got close over the years, and we would get a dinner on occasion with another friend of ours. We had what we called "Ladies Night", which usually consisted of Mexican food, and a lot of good laughs.

The reason I want to blog about her is to talk about her kindness and her love for life. Shortly after we started our tradition of "Ladies Night" our sweet friend got cancer. The way Yvette was there for our friend ministered so much love to me. She would go to chemo treatments with our friend, and just became a big part of her life. Still is to this day, a huge blessing to our friend. Than of all things my sweet Yvette ended up with breast cancer!
What are the chances?! That 2 out 3 of us would end up with cancer?! Ohh but, Yvette did not let it bring her down. She is a very brave, strong woman of God, and she fought it. Yvette never lost her smile. She lost her hair, she had the surgery and got all those treatments,. I went to go visit her after her surgery, and I was expecting to see her laid up on the couch! But, nope, I walk in the door to see her making dinner with that huge smile on her face! AND,I am thrilled to say she beat it!
Can I get a Praise God!?
So Yvette, I wanted to say, that I am very thankful for God bringing you into my life. I know we don't get to see each other very often anymore. But you have ministered so much love into my life. And I think you are absolutely the bravest woman I know.

Welcome to My Life..
