Hoping For A Miracle

My friend Timothy's dad is in a critical state. He has cancer and the doctors can't do anything. He went to Korea hoping that hospitals there would help him, but they also said that nothing could be done. He was getting drugs to help him endure the pain. My parents told me he was a stick because he wouldn't eat. It would be painful for him to even pee. The cancer is a rare one where it's below the stomach (I don't really know).

Today, my parents got a call from Timothy's mom, saying that there will be a little service/meeting at the hospital to pray for him. When my mom came back she told me about it. Timothy also has a sister in grade 8. My mom said that the way her dad touched her face was very sad because he won't be there for her anymore. Being close to my own dad, I just thought about how my life would be without my dad hugging me everyday. It makes me cry to know that they won't have a dad anymore.

My mom told me the funeral might be this week because he is in a lot of pain. I know there are some miracles when it comes to cancer. Some people do end up making it even though it looks like their life is over. Lets pray that he will be able to live through this.

When I hear about these stories, I realize that I should be thankful for what I have and to be happy about it. We never know when these things or people might be taken away from us.

Pray for him. Pray for their family.
