A little more sadness

I just learned this morning about a young boy, I believe he is eight or so, who has been diagnosed with leukemia.  My heart breaks for the parents...I can only imagine their fears and worries.  Abby & Jake are such wonderful people, and Jake played football for my husband back in the coaching days...he still calls him "coach" every time he sees him.  We see him a lot too, because he works for the youth rec basketball league, and with eight brothers & sisters (Jake is the oldest) there are lots of family members running around.  We are very blessed in that the Cincinnati Children's Hospital is one of the best in the country in terms of pediatric cancers, but there just seem to be so many.  I can't fathom watching your child go through the Hell that is fighting a cancer battle.  It is one of my greatest fears in life, and I work very hard to try not to let those worries control my life!
