Those left behind have it the hardest

If you have not read my last post, scroll down and read that one first.

Little Ryan was welcomed into heaven tonight by his mom Missy.

While Missy and Ryan are no longer in pain and are able to now be together without their longtime cancer companion, the rest of the family is left without their wife/mom and son/brother. They are now planning a double funeral.

Please stop and think about this for a minute. Can you even wrap your mind around that?

I beg you to stop by Ryan's site and leave this family words of encouragement.

I also ask that you get angry. Get angry at cancer. Why, with all of the advances we have made in cancer treatments, do we still have families that have to go through this? Why do our best treatments leave people with burns on their skin and poison flowing through their veins? Missy had a cancer that gets tons of research and funding. Ryan had a cancer that does not get tons of research and funding. Yet, they both had the same outcome. Cancer stinks. I loathe it and what it does to people.

The Morgan family did not deserve this. No family deserves this. Please remember them in the days to come.

Thanks for stopping by.

Why?

For my first blog in a while, I had planned on coming on here to tell you the struggles we have had over the last month and how we were dealing with them.

Instead, I come to you begging you with all of my heart to pray for the Morgan family.  Ryan is 10 years old and has been battling neuroblastoma since 2004.  He has repeatedly fought long and hard with this monster that will not leave him alone.  Last week, he was sent home on pain management as there is nothing left for them to do.  To make things worse, Ryan's mom, Missy, was diagnosed with breast cancer in August of 2007.  Last night, Missy lost her battle.  Ryan is not doing well at all.  Please, please, please, pray for Les as he lost the love of his life and is now on the verge of losing his little boy.  Pray for Heidi and Will as they lost their mother and are watching their little brother get weaker.

Any "struggles" that I was having over the last month pale in comparison to what this family is dealing with.
