“I want you to know that if my illness
inspired you to write these stories, the cancer was worth it.” – Deb
What stories could possibly make cancer
worth it?
Stories that represent a miracle – a lifetime
of miracles. Stories that changed the
writer as she wrote them and stories that will touch the heart of the reader,
one by one by one. Stories that are not
just stories.
They started out as words of encouragement
to a dying woman. They turned into a
collection of sparkling and intimate moments, pulled from the past to finally
be understood and shared with new meaning.
Story by story, letter by letter, Margaret
Terry uncovered powerful pictures in her own life of the one truth that could
help carry her friend Deb from this life to the next: God is at work.
Together, Deb and Margaret found renewed
hope in all ways God shows up right to the very end. Which is where they found the miracle they’d
been praying for all along. In each
other.
My Review:
Margaret Terry wrote 102 letters in six
months to her friend Deb who was dying of cancer. She said “I only saw her three times during
those six months, but a lifetime passed between us that created a bond that
defied time.” Deb was fifty-five when
she died and the letters that Margaret wrote to her kept her filled with hope
and a message that God was always there.
Some of the letters were serious, others were comical, while others were
meant as a lesson to be learned.
Margaret uncovered powerful pictures in her own life of the one truth
that could help carry her friend Deb from this life to next: God is at work.
Dear
Deb is a beautiful testament to the bonds of
friendship and what can happen when one friend chooses to step into another’s journey.
