I have an acquaintance with whom a Christmas Miracle would be most appreciated and would change the course of his families life. A little back story is required here. First there is his wife. She suffers from muscular dystrophy, rendering her forced to live in a wheel chair. Their lives together has seen its highs and lows. Recently, during the incredible insane real estate he tried his best to obtain the American Dream of home ownership. Unfortunately he was in one of the many loans that should of never been lent. This was a year and a half before the collapse of the market in August of 2008. He was forced into bankruptcy, and has barely earned a living since. When the cost of fuel was at its zenith, he contemplated leaving his current state to move in with his parents to start afresh.
Most times in the holiday season, we think of familiar pleasant good times with friends, family and acquaintances. For my friend, this Thanksgiving past is probably his most trying time ever. His wife suffered from a medical emergency. While at the E.R., she was diagnosed with Leukemia. My friend loves his wife dearly. If it were me, with my relationship with my wife, I would be exactly the consistency of Jello. He has two daughters, 3 and 1. As soon as she was diagnosed with the cancer, her parents got the children, while she was taken to the Huntsman Cancer Center.
I don't know the prognosis of my friend's wife, but I hope all is well. There is hope, but I don't know how much hope is left. If there was a need for a Christmas Miracle, this situation and time is it.
Personally, I have struggled with faith in mankind. I have struggled with hope, and don't know if I believe in Christmas Miracles. I want to believe, and I don't want one for myself or my family. I only hope that the God in Heaven will bless her for the sake of her children. No Child should grow up with out a mother to nurture and love them. If there is a Christmas Miracle to be had, this is the time and the place.
