i’m not catholic or christian, but my family is. my father has a cancerous brain tumor that is currently inoperable and is dealing with encephalitis. he had two brain surgeries in 2014, and we were told his odds of surviving were 0 to none. my mother prayed all night through those surgeries, and the doctor told her that whoever she prayed to listened, so i am desperate. please pray that he makes it out of this alive, even if things don’t go back to “normal.” maybe even just for him to make it to christmas, or my 17th birthday. please pray for his doctors and that they make the right decisions. please pray for my mother who also has cancer, and is on the brink of losing her job. and as selfish as this may sound, please pray for me.
