complications of brain cancer. He was four. There is no way to understand, there are no words that can explain, how something like this can happen to an active, healthy, vibrant, child. The world is full of mean, angry, hopeless people...who continue to live mean, angry, hopeless lives. But this child...this happy, beautiful, loved boy is gone from this Earth.
While his time here was short, it taught much to all of us about what it means to be a parent, a child, a friend, a stranger, a caregiver, a doctor, a nurse. The beauty of his mother's love, the strength of his father's courage, hope of his older brother, the compassion of his grandparents and family, all make one take a step back to realize that life is not about money, things, or status. Life is about...living and loving those people who live with and around you and appreciating each and every God given moment. Because those moments can all too soon be taken away.
With love...for Luke.

Hi, Chris,
I found you through the Good Blogs randomizer.
Thank you for posting about little Luke. You are so right. We need to love and appreciate those around us while we have them. Our lives are so transient.
The Lord will make all things right one day.
P.S. - You should do more posts. Your writing is very good, and uplifting. We need more of that out here. :P
(((Luke))) I am so sorry, Chris. Prayers to you and Luke's entire family.
