The ugly truth

The cancer is attacking the orbits. The pain in his back is excruciating. I just don't understand why a child would have to go through something like this.

It is so unfair - so wrong.

We send our love, and if there is anything we can do to help, please ask.

Nothing I can say can express what I´m feeling right now, sitting at my working desk, while looking Nathan´s pic. LIFE IS SO UNFAIR...
With all my love, Susana

No child, no parent should have to go through this kind of physical and emotional pain. Sending a prayer from Texas straight to the Father's throne for you and your family.

I know the Word tells us that we who are in Christ Jesus, will never be given more than we can bear, but there are times when life is too overwhelming. I won't give you a Christian cliche because I can't even imagine how you are feeling! I will pray for peace, comfort and intimate presence of the Father!
In Him,
Connie

After reading your entry today I'm feeling helpless and I realize we have never met but I wanted to give you this link. I have followed this family's faith while dealing with cancer in one of their sons. Maybe in a small way it will minister to your heart.

Found your blog through linking to info from Will Lacey's Dad's blog. Although we don't know each other, I'm thinking of you and sending hugs.

Prayers and hugs from Iowa. I so wish there were more I could do for you all.

Susan,

I cannot stop coming to your blog, several times a day... both this one and Nathan's. It would be nearly impossible for me to describe to you the impact that Nathan has had on my life.

Please let me know if there is something that I can do. I know 10 million people probably tell you that on a daily basis, but I mean it wholeheartedly.

:( Kate

Susan, I too, wish that was something I could do or say to make this easier on you all. I can't help but be angry, it's all just so unfair. We are ALWAYS thinking of you guys. Sending all our love and prayers.

PLEASE let us know if there is anything we can do.

I'm in tears too - heartbroken that your sweet boy is in such pain - I can't imagine how much pain you must be in as his mother and unable to 'make it better' - it's just incomprehensible. Praying for an abundance of grace to carry you through.

I'm so sorry. Your family is in my thoughts. I'm glad at least that palliative care is on board.

You don't know me and I don't know you but the Father in heaven knows us both. I pray that He will continue to walk with you through this valley. I'm praying for you guys. May God's grace engulf you all. Blessings.
