I thank all of you; Brandon, Jess, Lorie, Justine and those of whom I've spoken to in different communication. My faith has been tested many times and it's been stronger than it is now, but I never felt comfortable with talking with friends about it like I do now. I've had this weighing on my mind and I've been thinking a lot about Uncle Eddie and what this cancer is going to do to the rest of my family. We're the most tight-knit family that I've ever known and to have someone taken away so swiftly and then another getting sick, it makes us think of who's next. I know my dad is nervous and sad, maybe it somehow has to do with our mourning and depression due to these chains of events.
So, I'm in my room listening to my Uncle Eddie's favorite vocalist (Elvis Presley) and wondering if he's being allowed to try and reverse this in some sort of miracle. Only God has the answer to our pain and anguish, but I just wish he wouldn't make it some sort of riddle for us to unravel. I don't want to question his plan, but having more tragedy in my family could put every single one of us into a depression that we may never crawl out of. We had a tough time coping with Uncle Eddie, but we made it so perhaps this could make us stronger. I thought I was strong before this, but I've realized even the strongest can break down as easily as knocking over a sand castle on a dry beach.
Some of you people I've only known for maybe less than a year, either I pick good friends or the Lord has put you all in my life because we can hold one another up. I think it's the second one, personally. Please keep praying, pray for a miracle 'cause that's what it'll take and with prayer it is a possible feet.
