"chemo is so 90's"

i really wasn't too sure what to label this post.. something sad and sappy or something uplifting..

the phrase "chemo is so 90's" was something erin told me lauren said when the nurse was talking about starting her chemo, and it's probably the only thing during my conversation with erin that made me smile. i was a wreck.
for those of you who don't know lauren has leukemia.
the schillers have honestly been my second family, and in fact my other name for vicki is my MOMOM (my other mom on main). erin and i became friends in 3rd grade, but truly became the best of friends probably in 6th grade. we've fought like sisters, acted like sisters and became sisters at some point in our life.  we got ourselves in a few pickles and have so many stories that probably only we would laugh at. our friendship has had it's struggles... boyfriends, different friends, different states, many different things have happened in our life, but somehow we still remain close through everything. and that is no different for her family. we have always been there for each other. i feel lucky to have shared so many remarkable memories with the schiller family, all of them. and soon this will only be something that we will look back upon... because lauren will get through this; she is strong and such a fighter. and she has her mom that will see that questions get answered and everything is done for lauren. God bless vicki for her no nonsense attitude when it comes to things like this.
the details of laurens leukemia is something i don't want to share with the world, it's not my story to tell... but i am asking and hoping for many prayers and thoughts for lauren and her family.

laurens love.

found this picture, from erin to lauren... i think it's fitting :)
