I used to be a wedding planner in my past life. Although crazy and stressful at times, the thing I loved most about my job was the close relationship I formed with my clients over the course of the year (and sometimes more!) that we worked together.
And now thanks to Facebook, I have reconnected and stayed in touch with a lot of my brides. One such very special former bride of mine, Kristin, is now a married mom and recently contacted me about writing to raise awareness about a very important topic: pediatric cancer.
The year we worked together we were immersed in the world of linen colors and menu choices, so I had NO idea she went through something like this as a child.
Since most all of you reading this blog right now are moms yourself, I think I am safe to say that most all of us simply cannot IMAGINE if it were our child that was affected. Beyond even my comprehension.
