When we are born there are so many hopes and dreams for us and our parents or caretakers for the most part do their best to love, clothe and protect us and teach us their concept of what is right or wrong and I’m sure there is a lot of praying done regardless of that persons particular persuasion.
We want what is best for our children and to that end we work diligently. I’m talking about the general populace not the unfit, neglectful, and uncaring that we have all heard about and maybe even know. It’s hard for me to believe that there are those parents that do actually harm their offspring, but I know they do.
For most of us our children are the most important human beings in the world and we strive to see them grow and become loving, successful human adults that will in turn procreate and carry on with families of their own. When our child is sick we rush them to doctors to find a quick cure, but what happens when we are told that there is none?
What’s left if you have no hope? My answer would be despair. Hope is that 4 letter word that keeps me going and gives me the strength to continue and carry on. I can’t say that I know for a fact or even if I have enough faith that my son will be cured or healed, but I certainly hope so despite the predicted outcome.
There are so many people praying for my son and I really appreciate all the prayers and best wishes. My son has so much hope even though they gave him 2 years at the most. He has gone for a second opinion today so I wont hear the results from these test for awhile. I don’t think they will find anything different, but I still hope that the stage isn’t as far as first predicted.
We shall wait and hope and pray and continue to hope for a miracle.
First and foremost, I’m sorry your son and your family is destined to head down this road, very sorry.
Second and most important – don’t give up HOPE. My father many years ago was told he had 6-18 months to live, he lived 17 years. My husband was told 4 years ago that maybe he had 2 and he’s doing very well indeed, they are now saying he could live 10+ years – I’ll take whatever time I’m given with this wonderful man.
I wish you all much love and Hope.
Thank-you very much Mamaflo for your comment and I’m thankful your Father and husband proved the doctors wrong that does give me hope that my son’s willpower will also sustain him and prove his wrong also.
HOPE ~ you and your family must never lose hope!! I am a 3 yr so far – cancer survivor of a rare type of cancer – did Chemo & Radiation etc. The biggest thing to fight is the fear, and you must learn to deal with that and keep it at bay. Every day I still pray for Strength, Courage and HOPE and will do so for your son and your family. Sending good Karma your way. Keep busy on your Blog and other things and hope your son is able to keep busy doing things he enjoys also.
Nancy,
I am so happy for you and that is so encouraging for me to hear about the great strength that you posess. Good luck and prayers for you and thanks for the good karma we need it.
You are in my thoughts. Never give up on hope. I know it is easy for us to say this from the outside looking in. Your son needs you to believe so that he may have hope.
Thank-you Tammy for your thoughts and words they are very much appreciated.
