In First Grade, in a small Catholic school, I had 17 classmates. Through the years we gained some classmates and lost some due to moving or homeschooling. I ended up graduating with 12 wonderful people. Our morning roll call became: 4 Katies, 5 boys, 4 others. We were a small, but close group. We shared many laughs and tears over the years.
I got an email from one of my classmates last week (I happen to teach her son now) saying that one of our classmate's 11 month old daughter has cancer. I knew we, as a class, had to do something for him and his family.
I got on facebook (because that is the easiest way to get ahold of 10 people at one time) and informed the rest of our class of the situation and asked what we should do. We came to the conclusion that we should send a gift card. Everyone was going to send me their donation and I am to go get a gift card. Wow. Okay. I can do that. That's when the checks started rolling it. It's just amazing how close I still feel to all of them. It's a comforting feeling to know that we all still care about one another. I don't think there are many people out there that can say all of their classmates care about them 8 years after graduation.
Please pray for Ava and her mommy and daddy. Please pray that God gives them strength to overcome this.

With a graduation class of almost 200...I envy your small class. Especially during times like these.
Thinking of this family during a very difficult time.
funny how more than a moment binds us together. praying that your faith together as a class and support do much to show this family the depth of your love.
That is amazing. We had a class of 23 so I can relate to the closeness of a small clase.
I pray for Ava and her family. Tough times ahead for them all but I hope that they will stay strong and rely on their faith, he is always in control sometimes all we can do is believe and have faith he will watch over them.
