I have a friend with lupus. It's a nasty disease/condition/curse. She's had a whole slew of challenges with it this past summer, and I ache for her. Well, not really, because her body aches just fine for her all by itself. But I do wish that it could be better and easier for her.
One challenge she has right now is a very restricted diet. Her guts will only tolerate a very, very small variety of food. I think if she even thought of eating normally, she would get sick. It's hard to feel human when you have to fix food for your family to eat - that you can't eat. And then to be too tired to fix another meal that you can eat is just kicking you when you're down. Not fair.

So I wanted to get her a nice cake for her birthday. The candles are special order and I got the bakery to write her name in frosting. I hope you can heal out of this season, dear friend!
Thank you for your enduring kindness........
ReplyDeleteIt is not a burden! She has given me much more than I could ever repay.
