A simple little note to God from our 13 year old reduced me to tears tonight


We have our Faith but I seldom talk about it here or anywhere online,and unless someone asks in person, I seldom speak of it, why? because it’s a personal thing , that and there are so many right wing loons who try and shove their beliefs down everyone else’s throat that it makes it difficult for the not so crazy or obsessed over faith or religion reluctant to speak of their beliefs, I just don’t want to get thrown into the fanatic pile (trust me I’m no fanatic) and I believe that spirituality is a personal thing and not everyone believes in what I do so why should I say anything? (and yes I know you Atheists probably think I’m bonkers for even believing….but that’s okay ,I do understand as before the shit hit the fan not once but twice in my family, I to was an Atheist, so I get and understand where you’re coming from)

Anyway, I’m not here to discuss God or Allah or any other Deity , nor am I here to discuss beliefs, you have yours and I have mine, I respect yours so please respect mine that is all I have to say about that.

Our 13 year old son writes notes to God, his prayers really, and usually keeps them safe and private, however one of the cats managed to find his note stash and dragged one out to play with, thinking it was just a piece of scrap paper I was about to throw it away, until I read it ….. here is the short note, unedited only the Dear God in the title and our sons name have been removed.

Dear_____
Let the cancer leave my Mom, let her be safe, let her be strong, cancer is dangerous, my Mom means everything to me and my Dad, cancer must be stopped don’t let the cancer spread. My mom is the best person I know along with my Dad. from __________ Amen

That little note/prayer choked me up, our son doesn’t really talk about his Mom having cancer much, he only talks when prompted and if you ask the wrong question he will refuse to talk about it further.

I really don’t know what to say or what to talk about now, but if you’re wondering my wife is doing well, we won’t really know what happens next until next Tuesday when we see the oncologist, until then we try to live as normal a life as possible.

So remember folks:express your love often,never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others
