Uncle Tommy

This post is for our Uncle Tommy, who is suffering greatly.

Since our dad's diagnosis, Uncle Tommy has been a champion for him, encouraging him to pray, advising him on practicalities of the future, and fostering an unparalleled optimism for him. He, literally, has been a cheerleader for our dad in this brief time knowing of our dad's condition. We are grateful to him for his spirit, his tenacity, and his love for our dad and for all of us.

I feel we may have been a bit selfish in our needs for our dad and desperately want our Uncle Tommy to know how much we love him, and how much we are praying for him. He, in spite of the devastating news of his own diagnosis last July, has shown amazing strength, will, and faith through his treatments and journey.

We all love him very much. We want him to know he is not alone, and we are praying for him. He, too, is a fighter. We know he is suffering; yet his determination, strength and spirit are so strong.

Uncle Tommy, we love you. Our prayers are with you always. xoxoxo
