Now, I normally don't post this kind of stuff... but this has really affected me this past week...
My wife's assistant at work's step-grandson (2 years old) was diagnosed on Monday with a very agressive form of non-hodgkins lymphoma (Burkitt's). By Tuesday the tumor in his abdomen had so wrapped around the organs in his body that they were unable to operate on it. Wednesday it continued to spread and one lung collapsed. Last night he crashed twice (heart stopped) and both lungs were collapsed. The tumor has rendered his kidneys useless and he is not responding to dialisis. He is on a ventilator. Last week he was playing and happy.
As a father, it really makes me think about my little girl and how much of a blessing she really is.
If you are into it, please pray for this little boy. I believe it is his only chance for survival.
Sorry for this little tirade. I know it is quite off-topic. If you have kids, please remember how special they are... even if they drive you up the wall sometimes.
