all so excited and happy. Unfortunately tragedy struck. They were not on their honeymoon one full day when they were called home. Emily's mom was in ICU and stopped breathing
every time she slept. Jim & Em rushed home and have spent their entire honeymoon in the hospital in emotional agony. Emily's mom has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in every major system in her body. The diagnosis was a complete shock to everyone.There is very little I or anyone else can do to ease their pain, but I would like to take some of the financial loss of the honeymoon off of their shoulders. I have not yet heard how much they will lose, but there is no question they will lose quite a bit even if the vendors are compassionate. Having just quit my job to stay home with our baby, I can't do it alone. But if we get a widespread movement - even $5 will help.
