I had hoped he was too busy enjoying life to provide an update, and while this message could be anticipated, it did little to lessen the impact of the punch to the gut.<br /><br />I know he feels like a burden to his folks, but he is fortunate to be surrounded by love and support at this time, instead of being in a "foreign land", battling alone. No one should have to endure this, either by having it or having to support a loved-one for is suffering. I hold out hope that the next doctor appointment will give him some good news.<br /><br />May God grant him, his loved ones and his daughter with grace, comfort and peace in the days to come.

I’m sure he has very good doctors and perhaps they will be able to find him some relief. As an atheist, it’s posts like these that give me comfort in knowing no matter our choices or circumstances, there is a randomness which can not be controlled that can strike down anyone at any time. There is no point in dwelling on those things that we don’t have the knowledge or ability to fix. We must enjoy the time we have and make the most of every minute we can spend with those we care about.

The Hell on this earth he is facing is unimaginable. (For non-Catholics: St. Jude intercedes for us in seemingly hopeless causes).Petite Fleurnoreply@blogger.com
