My brother-in-law, Harvey Adams, has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer which has already spread to the lymph glands. Harvey has Down's Syndrome and is due to celebrate his 69th birthday on the 26th of this month. Sixty nine is extremely long-lived for one with Down's as I understand it. His prognosis is not good, given the cancers.
Harvey has always been the sweetest, nicest, most gentle soul and I love him as dearly as does his sister, my wife. He lives in a small town of around 300 in central Minnesota and it's the kind of situation where he knows everyone, and everyone knows him. The locals have my brother-in-law in their prayers, but I humbly request the efforts of the famous Free Republic Prayer Warriors.
Here's my man Harvey - this pic from a collage on the care facility's website.
Ping!
God be with him...
God comfort him.
Prayers for him and you/yours who love him..........
God Bless Harvey. I will be praying for him.
He has lived a long life, given his congenital disability. I'll send up a prayer for him. And may he feel the love of his family to his last day.
Prayers for Harvey.
