Dave's Bone Marrow Transplant Wednesday

My heart is broken. I just read my Big Brother's blog and my heart aches for his healing. The possibility of Dave's death is real, but I choose not to acknowledge it. Cancer is like the scarlet letter only instead of an "A" sewn onto his chest it's a giant cursive "C". Please pray for Dave this week as he faces chemo in preparation for his bone marrow transplant on Wednesday. No, a donor was not found. Instead, he harvested his own cells. These cells are not free from cancer, but they buy him quite a bit of time. The doctor has told him that this transplant will buy him 10 years with chemo every six months. Oh, if only he would be healed... or better yet, maybe Jesus might come today.

Big Brother

Praying for you oh brother of mine
That you will sense God’s love divine
That you will have peace to understand
On the days you can’t trace God’s hand

Praying for you oh brother of mine
Trusting He has a plan in mind
If it’s in His plan, I pray He’ll heal
If not, to Him be glory still

And yet, I pray for faith from Him
That maybe if only just this time
He’ll heal your body miraculously
This prayer I pray so selfishly

Praying for you oh brother of mine
That God will give you strength divine
Praying for you oh brother of mine
And thanking God that we have this time

With Love, Stephanie
