Sometimes we take live for granted. We wish that we will find a partner who we want to spend our lives with and grow old gracefully together. We make plans for the future. Maybe, we hope as a couple that someday we will be blessed with children and our children will have their own children. What a wonderful simple dream, if only this were to come true for all of us. Live would be great and we would have lots to be thankful for.

As life often does it throws a spanner into the works and events turn our lives upside down.

This happened to me about a year ago. My friend called to say her doctors had discovered she has breast cancer. Just like that a death sentence and she was not even 40. Words just seemed pointless at that moment. What could I say to her that would make her feel alight. We both knew that this day would change all of our lives. I must add for the better.

I knew nothing of what the road ahead lay for my friend, I just knew that by praying and having a large support network of friends and family she would somehow manage to eventually see light at the end of the tunnel.

I am proud to say that over one year on my friend has come through her darkest days and nights and is still going strong. We all hope for many years to come. What about the women that were not as fortunate as my friend.

A way to honor their memories during the wedding ceremony would possibly be a candle which could be lit during the ceremony in their memory. Perhaps a simple minutes silence during the speeches or just an acknowledgment from the best man during his speech for all the bridal party's loved ones who can not be there in person but are not forgotten and will always be remembered.
