My friend Mandy is one extraordinary lady. Our friendship is one of those rare, honest, hilarious gifts that comes along, say once every hundred years or so.
To say Mandy is a survivor would be the understatement of the century. She experienced the unimaginable with the death of the love of her life, Zac– a few short years ago. In a moment, Mandy became a single mom to their three world-class kids. She was only 32.
What inspires me most about her is how, no matter what life throws her way- she always gets back up. Always.
One of my favorite all time Mandy quotes is, "… grief is not weakness or lack of faith; it’s the consequence of awesome love, and that’s OK.“
Here’s a little more of the story- about Zac, Mandy and their phenomenal family. I love the way they all understand God is still God- and He is still so good.
Their story is far from over.
