Hello Sweet Blogging Friends
I know my blog is about decor changes, chippy neutrals and fun shares.
This is post is going to be a departure from the norm over here at
Junk Chic Cottage.
It is important to know as our days move forward and our blessing are abundant and we are all excited about the up coming holiday, there are some dealing with great loss and sadness.
One of our dear blogging friends Laura from Simple and Serene blog has lost her daughter to a debilitating disease.
She was sweet and well loved by everyone that knew her. While her time here was short her love and heart touched so many.
I wanted to share this sweet friend and fellow bloggers sad journey on my blog today to hopefully bring the power of love and prayer to her and her family. In honor of her daughter I want to help bring awareness to her disease Immune Deficienty .
It is dibiltaing and life changing. It was a daily struggle for her to try and live a somewhat normal life.
Katy dedicated a lot of her time working and raising awareness for this disease.
Please if you have it in your heart take a minute and visit Laura's blog post and hear Katy's story and share a kind word and prayer and hopefully donate to her special cause.
While we lost a good soul here on earth heaven has gained a beautiful angel.
Katy would be so proud to know so many reached out to this cause and made a difference for the remaining people that are stricken with this disease.
Laura's grief is heart wrenching and deep. It never is easy to say goodbye to a child. I know reading about her sweet daughter and sending a prayer her way will help Laura as she navigates this loss in the days ahead.

I'm so sad to hear this, Kris. So young and beautiful and full of potential. I have this same disease and it is very misunderstood and dismissed. There are so many manifestations of PIDD and Common Variable Immunodeficiency Disease. Doctors do not understand or give this credibility. Often we have symptoms that don't make sense so are not treated or taken seriously. Most people don't even know this exists. It often accompanies autoimmune disease so automatically becomes confusing and frustrating. Her family is in my prayers. Thanks for sharing this. xo
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear that Laura's daughter has passed away. I used to follow her blog and knew her daughter had health problems. I will certainly pay Laura a visit and leave her a message. Thank you for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry...I have no words to ease your pain or her family that loved her so much. Prayers for everyone grieving for the loss of this beautiful girl.
ReplyDeleteDear, dear friend, I just visited her blog. What are we to do but to put on the vestment of courage to navigate this one amazing, awesome life we've been given. Anita
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with Laura and her family. What a most devastating disease.

I feel for Laura. I cannot imagine her pain. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
ReplyDeleteOh how awful and so very sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. xox
ReplyDeleteI contacted Laura when I heard , Kris. This is so very very sad. We are never ready to lose any family member, but losing a child is the worst, I believe. Bless you for posting this and I am praying for Laura. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteKris, how very sad to hear of Laura’s daughter’s passing. So young, beautiful and full of promise. I can’t imagine losing your own child. I haven’t heard that much about this disease. Prayers and healing thoughts for Laura’s family. No mother should out live their children. Blessings for sharing Kris. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteHow very sad, I can't imagine the pain Laura must be feeling. I didn't know her blog and wish I had because my now grown daughter was born with IgA deficiency. She's fine now but the first five years of her life were spent in doctor's offices and hospitals. I'm sad to hear her daughter struggled with immune deficiency her whole life. Bless you for posting this, Kris. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry to read this. Such a beautiful and kind soul.
