: : : This is an excerpt from an email I got from my friend Janice in California last night. Janice breeds Bengal cats and works for a company that trains guide dogs for the blind. Her mom has been fighting lung cancer the last couple years, but now there is a new tragedy.

: : : My little brother (30) has just been diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. The greatest guy you could ever meet, just got married 6 months ago and planning a family. One of those smart people who did everything right, finished school, has a great job as an engineer, waited for the right woman before settling down, good looking, smart as a whip...just had it all. It's so heartbreaking, I cried for almost 2 weeks straight when I found out. Very sobering Xmas having him there, thin and scared and with a bald head from the chemo and knowing it was probably the last we will spend with him. Really sucks.

: : : I could not stop thinking about this young man last night. I emailed Janice and asked her brother's name. I will let you know when I hear. I know we are supposed to pray for this man. I feel great power here.

: : wow. this is incredibly sad. i will definitely pray.
: : it seems many people had to deal with sufferings this holiday season. relatives of two different co-workers passed away (one of which was a father on christmas day). seems so awful to cope, considering the time of year. i felt horrible just having to call my teammates to spread the news. i'm attending one's funeral this wed. *my first funeral ever*. i continue to pray for their families' peace.

: I will pray also.

Janice emailed me back...

Thanks for your prayers for my brother...his name is Joe, he and his wife live in San Diego. He is the best and somehow seems to be handling this with more strength and calmness than the rest of our family put together.

Thanks for your prayers everyone!
