Ok..so I have no where to put this..not here on MDC..not in life,not with friends etc.
I was in a wonderful AP PEPS group when my middle fella was a babe until he was about 2.(almost 6 yrs ago) Great women, stayed in touch with a few and my son now attends school with a couple of them
One of the mamas had a little boy who had multiple symptoms that didn't add up, not eating any solids at 2yrs combined with yelling in pain when he laid down and many more.. etc. I got her in touch with the clinic and supports I used to work with at a local hopsital, including an old friend who was the one to add all his symptoms up and refered her son for an MRI. They found a tumor the size of a baseball in this sweet little 2yr old boys brain. Our group rallied around her for meals and support while they went through the grueling surgery & treatment. Is wasn't cancerous thankfully and he made a lovely recovery. He still had a few lingering symptoms and some created by the surgery. She was such a fighter for him..made sure he had a twin bed so they could still co-sleep in hospital, nursed him constantly Tracked down any and all treatments for him. And threw a heck of a party after he was declared tumor free.
I always admired her.She was spunky and opinionated.
We had lost touch over the last couple of years , saw each other every now and then around town..etc. Lives just got busy. I regret not making a better effort to remain friends.
She drowned two days ago saving her son who had fallen in a river.
I'm just sad. Her marriage was ending the last time we talked, she was still her sweet boy's fierce advocate and they were like peanut butter and jelly..always together and just a perfect pair.
Her son must be missing her so very much....
Godspeed A.L.B.
(she was an organ donor as well)
thanks for letting me get this out.

Thank you for sharing about her. I am so sorry for your loss and her son's loss. 
My heart goes out to that little boy.
