Please say a prayer for this young man!!!!

[perc-o-prince]

I am part of a forum that deals with testicular cancer (many of you know that I'm a survivor of this horrible cancer) and we have a young man named Sean Martella(25 yrs old) who not only is fighting testicular cancer but now is fighting acute leukemia due to a chemo drug that is used to treat testicular cancer. The docs are telling him that this is the end of the line for him and that he has perhaps 1-2 months to live. Sean is the definition of bravery!

If this isn't heart-breaking enough...his wife is expecting TWINS!!! these are his first children and he so very much wants to hold his children.

If you would like to check out his blog then go to http:&#92&#92www.seanmartella.blogspot.com/

Please send good vibes or prayers to this young man. He needs it.

Thanks,
Rich

Rebirth

My prayer is for peace and moving in the flow. Nothing is harder than fighting the wrong enemy and losing. There is always time for a miracle and only God will know if Sean is the agent or the one that follows to finish the puzzle. The worst part of my journey with cancer was the anger because it is so completely isolating. We glorify birth in our culture and fear and avoid death. If death is the portal or rebirth to next level of our existance we should be equally jubilant as we are birth. I have learned to pray that the answer be revealed in a way that brings satisfaction and fulfillment for Sean. I cannot know the future and I'd hate to pray the wrong answer into being. Cancer robs us of ever trusting our body, ever knowing normal and always asking what's that smell, look, bump, color or feeling. Let God's restorative Peace, Assurance and comfort wash over Sean and his family. May they always know our Loving Mother God grieves with them and is always near for comfort. So it is.

Adding my prayers to the chain for Sean-

Oh!

At least my Dad made it to my 5th year, but in July, I will have something he didn't, which is a 50th birthday.

I really hope that Sean will be able to hold his babies.

Thank you, Rich, for bringing Sean and his family to our attention.

Rich,

Sean and his family are in my thoughts and prayers also.

Awwww poor guy!

I'll definitely include him in my prayers! You know, many doctors will tell a patient they have X-amount of months to live just for that person to totally beat those odds and live a long and happy life. I do pray that he will be one of those people. Please keep us informed on how he's doing. Bless him!

I am far too upset to write at length but I just want to say a great big "thank you" to those of you who sent your good thoughts and prayers but as you can see it just wasn't in the cards and he lost his valiant battle just this morning.

Thanks,
Rich

Father's Love

I write these words from the perspective of a father and one who believes in the existence of a Creative Father. I know that I would willingly give any part or all of me for my children. As a parent the most difficult times have been watching them suffer or struggle with the rigors of growing up, working through relationships or when they are hurt or frightened. As a mere mortal I cannot even begin to grasp the Perfection of Creator's love. Just as we suffer so does the God of all who must watch as our lives and struggles unfold. In this passing we are left saddened and confused. In this passing there is a beautiful fragrance and sound as the voice of Mother Father God calls out Sean's name. It is a time of celebrating for the pain has ended and a sweet reunion of Creator and Child brings relief to the God who has watched this unfold. My prayer is for the Sean's wife and family who are left bereft of their Beloved Sean and not understanding why. It is then we can go to the Universal Force and know in our comforting we are having Communion with One who understands suffering and knows first hand what it is like to watch your own Beloved and Cherished Child suffer and die. The grief turns to comfort as we relive the memories, pictures and times of an incredible man. After a while the famous poem goes. My love and prayers are with the family and friends that Peace is restored.
