Skyler

Skyler Sanders passed away yesterday afternoon.  Please keep his parents, Ryan and Melissa, and his sister Macy in your prayers.  He was a sweet boy who will be greatly missed.

The day that we got back from our vacation Jay went out and bought a local paper. There was an ad in there for a fundraiser for one of Cade's classmates & ball team members. Right after babseball season he was diagoised with Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. He's been at St Judes since July 29. He and Skyler, who are the same age, were at St Judes at the same time. I hadn't posted anything earlier, because I just couldn't think about it at the time. I feel so selfish for saying that because how I feel is nothing compared to what Skyler's family and now Colby's family are going through. I can't even think of a title for this post, so I'm leaving it blank. A couple of weeks ago The Jonas Brothers, Miranda Cosgrove and Angus T Jones visited St Judes. In the first part of this video, when the Jonas Brothers are waling in the hospital Colby and his mom are in it. Colby is the first kid, wearing a blue shirt. He's got a mohawk and is wearing a face mask. A little further in the video you can see some shots of the Target House, which is where Skyler and his family stayed while they were at St Judes. This video his a big reminder to keep all of these kids and their families in your prayers.

Prayer Request

I've just heard from a former co-worker that his son has an inoperable cancerous brain tumor. Cade and Skyler are only 8 days a part in age. I'm going to post their website because I know Ryan, Melissa and Skyler will be needing all the prayers they can get over the next few weeks. Please pray for a miracle and that Skyler will be healed. This is breaking my heart. I can't even begin to imagine what Ryan and Melissa are going through.
