Milha and I met working in the operating room in 1981. Our love of surgery, particularly orthopedic surgery, forged a fast friendship that has only grown deeper through the decades. She is among a small hand full of people I call fr-amily (friends who became family). I came to love Johhny because I loved Milha. Now, I love him just because he's Johnny.
You never imagine in all the years working in surgery... doing orthopedics... that someone you care for will become the one bearing the diagnosis of bone cancer... or any cancer for that matter. Somehow, it seems you should get a pass when you spend your working-years trying to put people back together again. There is no pass.
Johnny's cancer has proven relentless. Not responding to aggressive therapies, he is waiting to be placed in a trial study at M. D. Anderson. It doesn't start until mid-September. Once again, I ask for your prayers. I have personally felt the "holding up" of your prayers. My friends need your "holding up".
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
"But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal Life." Jude 20-21

I am happy to hold your dear friend in my prayer. Thank you for asking.
Best,
Bonnie
so sorry to hear the trials and travails your fr-amily are going through....and knowing you---that you are also going through. Praying for the strength to endure.
Have written Johnny and Milha's names down, Tanna, and will pray for good results from the new study in September. They have such good faces, kind faces. So glad they have you for fr-amily.
The verse from Jude is excellent! You always manage to find one that seems very personal to me.
So sorry to hear this about your friend...I will pray for him.
I will pray, for your friends, Johnny and Milha! I am so sorry.
Holding Johnny . . . In my heart, caring, prayers.
And your dear friend Milha . . .
And you . . .
Love your quote on kind . . .
Do you mind if I share . . .
Milha and Johnny look like a wonderful couple. It just does not seem fair --- I will pray for them. We never know what we will be like at such a time, but it sounds like they are putting one foot forward in front of the other and fighting this with all their might.
I am praying for healing for your friend. Prayer is powerful and it is a comfort to know we are surrounded by people's prayers.
Oh yes, sweet friend, the power of prayer is undeniable. I lift up your friend in prayer for his healing. I pray that the Spirit will comfort your friend and his family as he goes through all his treatment. I send you ((hugs)) sweet friend. :) Blessings always. :)
