I know the world is never short of tragedies. Yesterday, my heart went out to an abandoned cat in New York.
Today, as a crying woman blurted a tragic story, I struggled for composure.
In the small city where I work, Janica, a healthy, vibrant 26 years old, gave birth a month ago to twin girls. She, her boyfriend and family were ecstatic.
A month later, she was diagnosed with being riddled with cancer, in the brain, the liver, the lungs, and given two months to live. The doctors in Quebec refused to give her any treatment, saying that it wouldn't help and she was a lost cause.
Janica was a fitness instructor, who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, eats healthy. They were flabbergasted. Her whole family gathered behind her and refused to accept the death sentence, and Janica went to Florida, where some doctors are willing to treat her with radiation. That's where she is right now. It was a hard decision to leave her baby girls. But Janica is a fighter. She's fighting.
Her grand-mother set up a web page to keep people updated, to receive words or encouragement and donations.
It is only in French however.
It would take a miracle. She's a young, brand new mother of twins, determined to live. It will take a miracle. Please join me in prayers for Janica and her family.
Count me in.
