Good Vibes Requested

About two months ago a former colleague of mine was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. After a year or so of severe headaches, and finally one night collapsing, doctors discovered he had a cancerous brain tumour. They operated and managed to remove a significant portion of that tumour, hopeful that radiation treatments and subsequent chemotherapy would help prevent any spreading.

About a month later they found out that the cancer had spread through his brain like a web. He lost control of his left side and was re-admitted to hospital. The tumour has grown back and is bigger than its original size. His health is deteriorating quickly.

Despite all this, according to friends who visited him in the hospital, his spirits are up. It doesn't surprise me. This man is the typical all-around good guy in the office - soft-spoken, jovial, a hard worker, always has a good story to tell. He's the type of guy to whom you just hate seeing bad things happen.

So it is with faith in the power of good thoughts and intention, and in your ability and mine to deliver them, that I ask you to include him in your prayers tonight. I've no doubt he and his loved ones will appreciate it.
