This is my friend Megan from college.
She's always been adorable and had the cutest dimples. She has a quiet, sweet calmness about her. It's been years since I've seen her, but it's not hard to recall the spirit she carries with her. I remember her dating and getting engaged and positively glowing. I remember her walking the halls of the McKay Education Building pregnant with her first baby and still happy as can be. Last year, her 28 year old husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. I constantly feel touched as I read their daily battles and daily joys. I am impressed, inspired, and awe-struck with their faith and fortitude. I know that they would both say they were regular people dealing with a hard trial. I think they are so much more. If you read it, be ready to cry and then cry some more. How grateful am I to have association with people like this and to have her example in my life. I hope that I can become the kind of person that Heavenly Father can trust to be faithful through trials like this. I don't want them to come just as I know Megan and Wes didn't, but if they do, I want to be able to endure them the way they have and continue to.
