Requesting Prayers

Tonight  I lay awake praying for a miracle for Andrew's Uncle Bill...who in the past ten years that I have known him,  has proven to be as great of  Uncle to me than I could ever imagine.  Uncle Bill, an honored and decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, has been in the hospital for nearly a week.    On Friday he was placed on life support and tonight continues to fight the illness in his lungs.

Here is an status from Aunt Monica's facebook page.


FAMILY is a beautiful thing! So thankful for mine. We can all feel the love, prayers and support coming our way. Bill loves you all so much and so do I - thank you for always being here for us. 
He is on life support right now -fighting a lung infection of some kind. So far not responding to medications - still trying new things and hoping to find something that will start working. Please keep praying for a miracle for Bill - we are expecting one.



I remember meeting Uncle Bill for the first time; however, as memorable as that was what sticks in my mind right now more than anything is the tender moments over the past year that he has shared with my boys. Our boys love their "Uncle Beal" and they always have a hug or high five for him.   I'm very thankful for the memories and even more thankful for family-loving family.

Life gives us brief moments with another...but sometimes in those brief moment we get memories that last a life time...

Tonight I ask all of our readers to pray.....pray hard......and pray for a miracle for Uncle Bill.
