Hello. I'm trying to keep up the spirit here. You see, this afternoon I had to call my Pastor to ask for Prayers. It had nothing to do with me. My requests are never too complicated. It was about Katya, Eduardo's daughter. Katya is one of the most brilliant, funny, well centered and goal oriented kids I've ever met. In the last couple of days she came across something that was not in the program, not for her or for any of us.
It turns out that she has a pretty aggressive lymphoma. What started with a severe cough some 48 hours ago has degenerated in an unexpected diagnosis and downward prognosis. There is however, no chance for shock. I shed my tears from the moment I hung up the phone with Lysania, until I dialed the Pastor's number. That's when he told me "Sometimes God asks for a chance to bring forth a Miracle." That really hit the spot, you know it's all I've been thinking about. I've never needed to cry, let alone beg to move my father to do something for me. Guess what I don't need to cry or to beg of God either. If my dad, who is but a mere creation in God's semblance is willing to give his life for his children, the what God wouldn't do?
What I want though, is to do something for Him as I usually do for my dad when I know I'm gonna get my way. I make a point of saying Thank You, I know you don't have to do it, but you do it 'cause you love me.
So, if you are reading this, join me in reminding Dad that He has a chance to bring forth a Miracle and Praise Him because He deserves it. I will be forever grateful.

Here's hope and wishes that she responds promptly to treatment.
As an update, I must say faith travels far. The tumor stopped growing and most of it has been contained. Now it's a matter of following up with chemo and that is great news compared to the prognosis on Thursday. As I say, Jesus is our homeboy :p
