Jack

My uncle is in surgery to have a brain tumor removed from his left frontal lobe. The doctors are pretty confident it's benign but won't know for sure until the biopsy comes back. His daughter said that his humor is very good. This, I believe, is key to survival and recovery.

Pray for strength and comfort and calm for both Jack and his family. Let their love support each other. May their attitudes remain positive and light and full of humor and joy in life, as this will speed recovery.

The biopsy results show the tumor to be malignant and invasive. He is opting against chemotherapy and radiation. They give him a year to live.

May they be blessed with love and joy of family and strength to say good-bye when the time comes. May they remember that life is eternal and that death is simply a passing from view, and that we are never truly parted from those we love.
