Team Missy - knocking out breast cancer!

http://asteadfastheart.blogspot.com/

Missy is one of the most genuinely inspiring people you will ever meet. She's so much more than a breast cancer statistic. She's a mom in the most incredible way:
Sheand her husband, Jeff,became foster parents in 2012, andadopted two boys (brothers), nowages 2 and 6. From the moment the boys entered their lives she was undoubtedly their mom. She and Jeff have worked through some terrible things with their boys, but they never hesitate. They have given everything they can to make a home -a real family. And they are, undoubtedly, a real family - a family who needstheir mom to be there as they grow, and to teach and love them in every possible way.
One of the things that makes her an incredible mom (and coworker!) is her contagious positive attitude. She's not unrealistic. She just takes everything and handles it with grace and love. In the same way that she and Jeffbegan to teachthe boysabout faith andfamily, she is gracefully determined to not let cancer win.She needs a team of people whoencourage her to keep fighting this terrible disease. We areunited beside her - and her amazing family - in the fight against this terrible disease.
Here is a great example of her spirit in an excerpt from her blog: ...My mind has been so full of thoughts and fears, worries of things that may or may not even happen. I honestly just wanted to go back to bed this morning and wake up from this nightmare...but this is reality. I have cancer. And it's going to be hard. Excruciating at times. Exhausting and downright awful. But I'm convinced there will be joy. I'm convinced there is hope. I refuse to crumble and accept the plight of a victim.
