Jason Seeger trying to intimidate Joey. Needless to say it did not work. Brothers always have bond, just as sisters do. When they are little they fight over who gets Mom's attention. As they grow into teenagers, they try to throw all the attention onto the other one for obvious reasons which might entail a punishment issue. Little brothers are a pain when big brothers start to date. The awkward stage soon passes and big brother starts to take the little brother under his wing and teach him things. And finally they reach a place where there is mutual respect and the life altering change begins. Brothers become men.
But sometimes that cycle is interrupted, as now. I recognize how hard it is for this big brother to stand helplessly by and watch as his little brother walks a path that only he can walk. It is hard for all of us to stand at a bedside in utter helplessness. So we do the one thing we can do. We pray. Our lives are currently in a state of meditation and Joey is at the center. We know what we want, but we can not fix this. I can't fix it. Jason can not fix it. Dona is completely helpless. Everyone is. So we pray. We pray and all of our friends pray with us.
Dear Heavenly Father, Only you know. And you know what we are feeling. Please make us strong as we pick up this cross. Help our dear Joey in what ever way you choose. You are all seeing, all knowing and omnipotent. We ask only that you stand with us as we stand with our friends in prayer. Not our will but thine be done. With Joey in the palm of your hand, we surrender our will to you. Amen
And with that I can only thank my friends, family, and everyone who stands by us in this hour of trial. Know that we are all grateful for your prayers and we are still hoping for a miracle.
