This topic is a little bit removed from what I usually post about, but these stories are so poignant and touching that I wanted to share them with you. It's lives such as these that remind me to wake up and pay attention to what's really important; to savor my relationships and grow my faith while I'm blessed to walk on this earth. These women are true heroes, living courageously and joyfully in the face of their illnesses.

This story has inspired and spoken to many in the Orthodox Christian Church during the last few years, as well as to many others:

May they inspire us to pray for them and their families, as well as awaken our commitment to lives well-lived.
