Prayers for Dylan

I would like to ask for prayers for a precious young man named Dylan Spinelli, who just turned 22 years old and has been fighting cancer for too long. He had a bone marrow transplant in May of 2009 but recently has relapsed with the cancer in his Central Nervous System, bone marrow and as of yesterday, tumors on his spine. This young man has fought so hard since his original diagnosis with leukemia and continues to have an amazing faith. All of these kids are so special!! We need to learn from them!!! Please hold this special family in your prayers. They are going through an extremely difficult time right now and really need God's guidance as to what direction to go.

Too many of our precious children continue to relapse. This is why we need so much more funding for Childhood Cancer Research. You will be hearing from me in the coming year. We need your help and the help of all of those you know. There are so many ways that each of us can help to make a difference in the fight against this horrible disease that is stealing the life away from our children.

Please continue to pray for Dylan and his family and send this to all of the prayer warriors that you know. I know from experience that the prayers help even when the answers aren't what you were hoping for. God gives me the strength to make it through each day without my baby girl.

Remember as you go through this next year that each day is a gift. Your children are a gift. Your spouse, your parents, your friends. All of them are gifts. The "things" in your life can be replaced but not the people. Your time is the best thing you can give someone.

Hug your kids!!!

God bless,

Kathy, Randy, Blake, Brooke & Bryce
