Tears. . . .

Today I have a request. 

And it may be the sort of thing that hits some of you wrong and you decide to never ever stop by my little corner of the world again. 

And I guess that's OK if that's how it is.

But I got some sad news and I'm just really driven to tears with this one.

A friend of mine has a sister-in-law who is fighting cancer.  Nancy had a tumor removed from her spine around a year ago.  At that time they thought it was a slow-growing tumor that might have some impact on her life 10 years or so down the road.

But a few months ago she noticed some changes and they went back in for testing.  Suddenly that "10 years or so down the road" became a much more immediate issue.  More tests were ordered.  Results indicate that the changes she is seeing is tumor spread heading to her brain.

Her youngest child turned four yesterday.  Four.

Please, pray for Nancy and her family as she goes into treatment that will bring many side effects.  Those kids need their mama.  Pray for her husband, a doctor, as his wife goes through such difficult treatment.  If you have children, ask them to remember Nancy in their prayers too.  Children are so close to God.
