To Truly Believe

Because when we woke up this morning there was a terrrible feeling of lost hope, that some how the life is being slowly sucked out of us and there is nothing we can do about.  Because all the way to the Hospital I cried with his mom talking about the inevitable end approaching soon and how we are all going to be deprived of this amazing soul and wonderful spirit.  And as we approach the entrance to the hospital a weight fell on our shoulders and we both looked at each other and began to cry, and in the very same moment we lifted ourselves up and said that we are strong and that we can do this and we will be there through the worst and then began to walk to the doors of his room.

He is sick.. as his mother would say he is MUCHO sick... he is curled into the fetal position only to get up to get sick and then to lay back down.. And you ask him how he is .. he says "ohhh I am SUPER"  and we smile..  the room is gloomy and except for the sun shining through the windows it is a sad and grey moment.. The Nurses come and go and then decide it is best to knock him out for awhile so he can just sleep and the chemo can do it's work..  I look at my dear friend and suggest we go for now since he will just be sleeping and there is nothing we can do at the moment and she agrees... Are Hope as been replaced with sadness and our faith seems to be dragging on the floor,  We grab all our things up and headed to the door....

THEN IT WAS LIKE GOD LOOKED DOWN AND SAID " LET ME HANDLE THIS"  I CAN CHANGE ANYTHING AT ANYTIME ON ANYDAY FOR ANY REASON...

As we approached the door a young spanish speaking Asian Dr. walked in with a smile from ear to ear and begin telling us about all the things that will be happening here on out.. the blood transfusions.. the chemo.... the meds for his kidneys and so on..  My dear friend just goes blank and nods with everything she says as if to be giving up right in front of my eyes..  My heart just sinks and to try to get some sort of light at the end of the tunnel I ask the Dr. simply this.. " So after all of this where do we go from here and what else is there to do to fight the horrible cancer?"  And she looks at me dumb founded, and so I repeat myself and she says

NO ONE TOLD YOU?   THE CANCER IS GONE!!! 

This is just the end of the treatments and he will go into remission officially in 2 months and start maintenace chemo for 24 months and be done.. The room became somehow full of light , the t.v. became vibrant the buttons were making noise and we all just sat there and smiled for what seemed like forever...    We smiled and laughed the whole way home like we were two little girls and just took in the moment like it was meant to be...                                           AND.......

Because sometimes when you TRULY BELIEVE and let go and let GOD ...miracles can and do happen and we have been blessed today to witness first hand the power of Devotion, Love and Prayer..
