Amazing Example of Courage and Faith

I got back home today, just a few hours ago. 
It was hard leaving my niece, but she's in such good hands!
First and foremost, her Lord and Savior is right there by her side, 
along with her loving and devoted husband,
her precious daughter (a fine young woman herself), 
 her sweet mother-in-law and some wonderful friends 
(one in particular who has proven to be a true friend, indeed).

My niece has been so incredibly brave! I am SO proud of her!
By the way, her surgery was for a double mastectomy.
This picture was taken shortly after her surgery, once out of recovery
doesn't she look absolutely AMAZING!


I know we don't really know how we would react if we traveled this journey
but I honestly don't see myself being this brave. 
Angela you are amazing! 
I know this journey has not been an easy one, by any means, 
but you have handled it with such faith and courage. 
You have been SO BRAVE!
I love you! 

So, surgery was scheduled for Monday morning around 9am, 
but they didn't actually begin until 12 noon. 
She was in surgery for about 3 and 1/2 hours. 
Tuesday (the very next day) she was released to go home!
That was just crazy to me, but she actually slept really well at home.
I think it might have been all that laughing we did once she got home. 
You would not have expected laughter, but it was sure happening. 
I think it must have been God's Holy Spirit just flooding our hearts with joy after so much heaviness.
Now that surgery is behind her, recovery has begun. 

I had posting this question on my Facebook page:

"I believe Christ is all we need but I can't help but wonder if loved ones who've already made it to Heaven can rally in support of things we deal with here on earth?"

What do you think?
