| In loving memory of Megan Hoogeveen December 30 1992-June 29,2011
Hey Everyone! How is everyone doing on this beautiful morning that the Lord has made? This blog update is going to be about one of my friends who died of a rare disease called HLH. If you don't know what that is you will find out in this update. I am going to be honest I did not know Megan Hoogeveen very well! She did inspire me very much though! Megan inspired me to live life to the fullest and to enjoy the moments that come to me! Megan inspired me with her smile and when I saw her she always had a smile! That smile is so beautiful just like she was! Now the disease she had was called HLH that is short for (Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis). This is a rare disease that I do not know much about. Today is the 2 year anniversary of her passing and what her family is doing is such a blessing to help fight against HLH and to raise money to find a cure for HLH. Megan's parents and brother started a website called Megan's Legacy and I will post the link to her page. I encourage you to check it out! I know when I did I learned some things about HLH I didn't know before! The only thing I knew about HLH is that it is a rare disease! Also on this page also known as Megan's page you will see poems,videos and pictures of Megan Hoogeveen and you will read about her story as well! I hope after you check it out that it touches your heart just like it has mine!
I want to give a personal shout out to the hoogeveen family as this is a difficult time for you! Someone once told me that once you love someone they stay in your heart FOREVER! Megan is watching over you everyday and is with you even if you can't see her or be wiith her!
I have a couple of songs that I think describe the long fight that Megan fought. There is one man who fought for Megan always throughout her life and throughout the lowest times and even when she was fighting the HLH. That man is God. A bible verse that now means so much to me is Jeremiah 29:11 It says For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord! Plans to prosper you and not to harm you! Plans to give you hope and a future!
The Lord will watch over our coming and going both now and forever more! that is from Psalm 121
So the songs I want to dedicate are:
|
1. - Open up our eyes-Elevation Worship
2. White Flag-Chris Tomlin
3. Skin-Rascal Flatts
I hope you find this blog update inspiring!
I hope Megans story touches your heart just like it has mine check out Megans Legacy page!
Blessings to all
Mighty <3 Mariah
