Losing the battle


I thought I was depressed before the holidays. I thought I just felt down because I had no one to share all the little moments with anymore. After talking to my , I realized all I have missed in her life. And all I missed with my ’s brief life. What kind of family would I have had? What kind of father would I have been? Would the holidays be a joyous occasion for me?

Just before Christmas, I had a dream. Someone that I was friends with last year, and was battling breast cancer, had a relapse. She and I are not in contact anymore. We had a falling out. I still care about her, but no way to check on her. And she has fallen off the face of the earth. No recent posts in any of her usual places, and no response to my emails. I have been worried about her for weeks, but no way of knowing what is going on.

Then I had what was probably the worst day of my life. January 1, 2009. I got a call from my aunt’s . I spent a couple of months with her last year, when she got a kidney transplant. She believes she would have been dead by February without it. She believes today, that she was given an extra year of life, and spent it with her and granddaughter. But now she has been diagnosed with lung and throat cancer, aggressive. She believes she only has a few months left.

She is a wonderful, giving person. I was lucky to be raised by several strong, independent, powerful women. She, like her mother, is one of the most loved, revered people I knew. Grandma was so loved, her funeral was the largest St Landry Parish, LA has seen. Hundreds showed up and shared the celebration of her life. My aunt lost her to leukemia when he was ten, and adopted all of her nieces and nephews. She has given the world nothing but love. We all volunteered to give her a kidney when she needed one. I would give her my lungs now, if I could.

I am moving to my aunt’s house, and enjoy the time she has left. If the time comes, I will be there with her, making her last days as good as I can. But I will try to help her fight it, and if God allows, beat it. Hope against hope, but I can not imagine not hoping for her. I will not be online nearly as much, and I will miss you all. I hope you know I am not staying away willingly. I will be here when I can.

Be well my friends. I’ll see you again soon.

His Imperial Majesty,
The Crowned Prince of Joy,
The best, and always right,
Jimy

All my prayers are with you.

I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

By the stripes of Jesus Christ she is healed. I stand in faith with you brother. Seen lung cancer healed before. My neighbor. She didn't even really believe in God. Athiestic views. I prophesied to her that God was going to pull her cancer out like I pulled a tissue out of the box by her bed...three weeks later ALL the cancer was gone! That was around two years ago! She is still here. I know she believes in God now too! May he heal this woman you so love and admire as well.

In Jesus Holy Name...
