Strong Woman

My Uncle Bill married the strongest woman that I know (she's in the picture below with my uncle). Cori got pregnant after their marriage, and got really sick. She was having complications, and she went to the hospital. She found out that she had lost the baby and she had leukemia. This is what caused her to lose the baby. They actually didn't even know if she was going to make it. Yet, she did not get down at all, I never seen her sad about it (even though she just lost a baby, found out she had leukemia, and had a 1 year old at home, and 2 step-children). She always has a smile on her face.

Then, they put her on chemo. She starting losing her hair, so she just shaved her head. I don't even think that she thought twice about it. She had a bald head and a smile. She's still battling the leukemia, and is raising 3 kids. She's had a bone marrow transplant and a ton of tests done. Yet, she is always smiling.

Cori is an amazing woman. A strong woman to say the least. She just pushes on, even though times are hard. She is an inspiration to me. I want to be that kind of woman. A strong woman, full of faith. I want to smile in the worst of times; knowing that my life is in the Lord's hands.

I hope that Cori's strength rubs off on each of you. I wish you could know her. She is definitely a role model for me, someone that I wish I could be like. She has wings and boy does she fly! Someday, I'll have wings too & I'll fly.
