Christmastime

It's nearly Christmas.
There are lights on many houses in my neighborhood
Last night there was snow
A Christmas tree graces the window of our house, and there are cookies everywhere.
It's nearly Christmas... and my friends are losing their baby boy.

He's made his last trip to the hospital, and their family is waiting. They have been battling the cancer for as long as I can remember and this winter the fight will be over.
There is hope mingled with the sadness though. This wonderful couple knows the home their son will be going to and they know that they will meet again, but it doesn't change the fact that this will be the last Christmas with their little one... If he makes it that long.
Please pray for this precious family, and don't forget to cherish every moment and every person this holiday season. We'll never get those moments back.
