My mom has been friends with a wonderful woman named Amy for years. She has children. I think all of her kids are great but over the years I have become especially close to her daughter, Annie. My mom has always been like a second mother to Annie. My dd, Julia, has always thought of her as a big sister. Her mother adopted her when she was a baby with cystic fibrosis and fetal alcohol syndrome. She has an incredible and cheerful and giving spirit even though she has struggled with cf for years....in and out of the hospital. She is only 21 and this might be it. She is struggling to breathe off the ventilator. Her body is so weak and she says she is tired and wants to go. They are trying one last medication so maybe there will be a miracle. My mom and me were crying this morning and Julia is so mad she's just kicking things. Please, I would appreciate any prayers and good thoughts. I am so sad. We love her so much. I can't imagine what her poor mother is going through. 
for you, your mother, your daughter and her mother, loss of a person is never easy.
