Barb Brandt is one of the strongest women I know. Strong in her physical strength, Strong in her faith and strong in her mind. I met Barb about a year ago in bootcamp. I didn't know it at the time but soon I would find out that she was going to be a big part of my journey. You see Barb is the type of person that kicks you when you are down..... I don't mean in a bad way, I mean the kind of person that says "you fell down.... now get up off your butt and get going" and she means it! When I am slacking I have Barb in my face pushing and yelling at me to get moving! Barb has become one of my dearest and most trusted friends.Barb has her own journey.... a journey that is not easy for me to write about. One that makes you feel as a friend you wish you could just take some of her burden, take some of the sorrow that must be felt and carry her heavy load for her. Barb's husband Michael was diagnosed with ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease 2 years ago. Barb and Michael have faced this battle head on, with unbelievable strength, courage and faithfulness.
I hope you follow me on this journey over the next few days, it's worth every tear you may shed and laugh you will laugh. And Barb and I laugh A LOT!!!
