Matthew's best friend's older brother has an aggressive type of leukemia...he's only a couple of years older than Matthew and they all hang out together.

He's just so sick...but he gets better, you know? He does better and can come to church and all and then he crashes.

They gave him an attendance award in choir because he had perfect attendance till he got sick.

He hasn't been doing well this week and we've been really praying and I've cried a lot...it's just so upsetting and I don't know how to help my son deal with this. The Lord is our strength and we'll find the way, but it's hard.

That's sad to hear. I'm not sure how I'd handle that, either, but I guess one thing I'd tell Matthew is how important his friendship is to his friend's older brother--getting sick periodically like that must make it hard for him to develop friendships, so having friends stick with him through times like that must be really important, I'd guess.

Oh man...that's a very sad situation, 2J.

Is there a fund or address of some sort, to send donations, well-wishes, prayers, cards, etc to?

Wow, 2J... that's a tough one. The only thing I've come up with that lets things make any sense to me is:

"Death is no loss, from the Lord's point of view."
