THE TIES THAT "BOND"


Dawn Boyle

A little under a month ago I read an article that moved me. I really can't explain the feeling I had and have had since reading about a young couple from Brooklyn, Nathan and Elisa Bond. It starts with a wedding video....you know what - just go get the tissues now.

Nathan has Stage 3 colorectal cancer. He has been given a 60% chance of surviving five years or more. Elisa has Stage 4 breast cancer and has a 16% chance of surviving five years. Nathan is 38 and his beautiful bride is only 36, they found out they had cancer within 9 days of each other. They are the parents of a beautiful 18 month old little girl named Sadie.

There is now a blog that Elisa does here on blogger. Friends have set up a site to donate, which I will link at the bottom of this post.

Please take the time to read their story. Say a prayer, send a note if you can, please donate. This truly is one AMAZING family. You never know the cards you are dealt or how you will deal with them once you have looked at the hand. Take a moment to appreciate those people that share this life with you, you never know what tomorrow brings.

May GOD BLESS the BOND FAMILY.
