This is so sad...our dear little friend from back home, Peter, is dying from brain cancer. He is only six years old. He was diagnosed three years ago, the same week my little guy got his trach out. We always felt a special closeness to this family given they were going through so much at the time we were just starting to calm down after a very medically intense five years. My little guy is just heartbroken, spent a few hours crying the other night....he has always felt a special bond with this little guy, and prays for him frequently.
Please pray for this amazing family, they are a picture of God's grace...they have their little Peter home, are lovingly taking care of him, it is the best and worst of life...the beauty of the cross...please pray especially for Peter to be comfortable and for the family's strength and perserverance.
Thank you so much!!!
UPDATE--Please offer up prayers for this little brave boy and his family. Peter is fading, and having awful pain and vomiting...seizures...can't take narcotics well because of other side effects..he is thirsty but having a hard time drinking...I know they would really appreciate all prayers during this time.
FINAL UPDATE 6/29--Thank you so much for praying for little Peter, he entered into His Father's House early Sunday morning. The family's post about his death was heartbreaking and beautiful. He was surrounded by his family...they said they have marked June 28th as Peter's feast day, and "no need to wait for official Church pronouncement".
I plan on printing off all of the posts about Peter and sending them to the family one day...God Bless you all!!!

One can only imagine the gains that will be made through that family's pain and suffering.
You and they will be in our prayers.

So very sad!
I'm praying for this little guy, and for his parents and family who must be overcome with grief.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy.

Oh, I cannot imagine.
We will add Peter and his family to our daily Rosary intentions and hold them close to our hearts with prayers and offerings.
