Title: For a friend
Post by: Element of Air on May 27, 2008, 11:11:26 PM
I am not going to state names for the privacy of the family but a good friend of mine from fair found out about a week or two ago that her 6 year old nephew has a cancerous brain tumor that has placed him in a very quickly deteriorating state. They say that he will not last till this Christmas. They are trying to do chemo only to keep him around for the family a little longer but are not sure if they should simply let nature take its course to make sure he is not in pain for very long. His parents are having a hard time but feel they have reached a calm acceptance at this time.

I wish that all of you can keep this wonderful 6 year old in your thoughts and prayers as no child should have that outlook. Thank you.

They are in my prayers. What a terrible decision to have to make about chemo or not.

After reading your post and sending prayers I hugged my own children, the thought of what they are having to go thru rips at my heart.  Pondering while in this hotel room miles away from my own kids I decided to do something.  It's not much but every penny makes a difference.  I'm listing on ebay an auction once a week with a percentage going to St Judes Childrens hospital.  I hope this moment will inspire others to take a small step and do something, anything to help our children of the world.  Peace and blessings

 What can I say, this is such terrible news. I`am sorry just does not seem to help so I will be praying for this little one as well. Prayers do work and I will pray. Peace to all you family in this time of need. God be with you now and for ever.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.  No one should have to go through this, especially a child.

You and your friends are in my thoughts.  *e-hug*  There simply aren't words enough when a child is going through something like this.
