Travis

Today my blog is me asking you to do something. See one of our family friends just found out he has cancer. Travis is the brother of my Mom's best friend, Tricia. I grew up with her son and daughter and we all went to church together. Her family is more like my family than friends. Travis is in his upper 30's and he is mentally challenged. He is very smart and can pretty much take care of himself but he is not mentally at the point a 30 something yr old should be at. He lives half the year with Mrs. Tricia and the other half with her sister.
Travis had been in pain for some time but did not tell anyone. By the time he did say something and they got him to the doc it was too late. The cancer has ripped through him. The doctors said there was nothing they could do but they are going to Birmingham to get a second opinion.
Travis is one of the sweetest, purest soles i know. He loves shoes and he loves Jesus. His two favorite things to do is go to school and church. Even if you have not seen him in over a year or in a couple of hours he will come over to you, hug you, and tell you how good it is to see you again.
Mrs. Tricia and her family have been through more than any one family should. I am asking you to pray for them and especially for Travis. Pray the doctors will be able to help him, pray that he will not be in pain, and pray for the family to make it through this difficult time in their life.
