Prayers for King JuJu

It's Christmas. It's supposed to be a happy time of year. Parents should be frantically wrapping presents, children should be waiting anxiously for the big day. There should be parties to plan, baking to do, church services to attend and cards to mail. It's Christmas, and most of the world is busy doing all these things and more.

But what about the mom who was just told that cancer has taken over her child's brain and spine? What about the child whose seizures are getting worse by the day? What about his siblings who have no idea this could be the last Christmas they will ever spend with their brother? How can this family celebrate Christmas while this ugly, dark cloud is looming over their heads?

Right now, this is the mountain that my friend Mimi, her son Julian, and their family are facing. Fortunately they know that Christmas is more than the presents and the baking and the parties. They know that Christmas is about family, friends and a tiny Baby born in a manger so long ago. I have no doubt that this Christmas will be special for Julian and his family. I have no doubt they WILL celebrate. At the same time, my heart is breaking for all of them. I just want to scream with the unfairness of it all. I wish Mimi could take Julian and run and hide and keep him safe from this evil cancer. I wish someone, somewhere would hurry up and find a cure! Cancer sucks.

Pray pray pray for King JuJu!!! Pray for the miracle that only God can bring now. Pray for peace, for no pain and for the best, most wonderful, most memorable Christmas EVER for the Avery family. If you have time, visit Julian's page and show them some love. I know they'll appreciate it. Tell them Kennedy sent you. carepages.com site name: juliansworld .
