A Dying Child Teaches More About Humanity...

Brendan Foster is an 11-year old boy who was dying from leukemia. He had a dying wish: To feed the homeless. Volunteers up in Washington helped his dream come true. Watch this video:

If that didn't move you to tears...

I was especially hit by his wisdom. His comment, "I had a great time and until my time has come, I'm gonna keep having a good time." His death was expected within a week or so, folk, when that video was taken. Brenden has one more wish for the afterlife: become an angel who accomplishes even more in heaven than he did on Earth.

Brenden died last Wednesday.

Mila

If you haven't learned the story of Mila yet, I am about to introduce you. Mila is a little 2-year old who is dying from brain cancer. A growing movement is learning about Mila, and helping her mom, who is struggling in all the ways that a mom can struggle when dealing with a dying child. You need learn more about Mila. Her story, and her videos will tug at your heart in so many ways. My wonderful daughter Diana provided me the link at first.

Please pray for this little girl and her mom. They need all the prayers they can get.

First, watch this video: http://www.helpmila.com/aboutmila.html (It is the one titled "Gavin Michael Booth's Blog - Feb. 14, 2007 #2").

Now, go to: http://www.helpmila.com (The main page). There is a link to a MySpace page also (It is a clean page, so all you parents don't need to worry).

There are many more videos over there, and at the MySpace account listed on the site.

I can't imagine my kids dying. I don't know what I would do. It was hard enough to lose my husband.

Mila, you have a lot of people praying for you, honey. I just joined the ranks.

Andi, I will let everyone I know learn about your wonderful little angel. You keep doing what you need to do. You are a wonderful mom to Mila, and you are giving her what she needs the most: Love. Total Absolute Love.
