"prayers for my friends The Olson's this am as their 12 yo Jake loses his sight today in his fight against cancer..."
I have no words.
Only tears.
I don't know the Olson's and I don't know Jake. But I have been 12, and I was worried about bangs and Keds shoes and looking dorky in front of my friends. I wasn't trying to remember what my mom's face looked like, wondering if I was going to live to be an adult, or if I would find someone to share my life with even though I was blind.
Can we be in heaven already? This is so much for them to bear, and yet, we are never given more than we can handle in God's strength. All I have to say is, He has great faith in the Olson family, and from my friends' comments, they have great faith in Him to carry them through.
May it be so today and in the days to come.

I agree, Lisa. I haven't been able to stop thinking about Jake and his parents. I can't imagine going through something so traumatic, knowing it was about to happen. But I really can't imagine WATCHING it happen to my child and knowing there was nothing I could do about it. I guess all we can do is pray for an amazing life, amazing testimony for Jake and that God would bring him joy and beauty continually.
