#96 Say a prayer for someone in need

This may seem like such a silly task to put on a 101 list, because all of us are in need of prayer. But i had to really look around and see who REALLY needed a sincere and heartfelt prayer. Someone that has been suffering or has been through so much, not just in the past few weeks, but years as well. I have a friend that i went to high school with and she has been through he wringer, so to speak with one tragedy after another, but yet she continues to plug along. A very strong willed lady. She lost her 5 year old son to a horrific tractor accident with her father while bush hogging a field. then about a year later, she lost her father when he fell off a roof while working on it, and he eventually died from his injuries. Several months or a year later, she lost her ex-husband to an accident on I-81 involving a tractor trailer. Now all of this you say would be enough in itself to make somone to just give up on life, but this is not even the worst of the worst. During this whole time period she battled cervical cancer, AND a brain tumor at the stem on her brain. The docs told her she had only 6 months to live, but she proved them wrong. She did actually die on the operating table, but was brought back. The cancer was treated and she had surgery for a hysterectomy and the tumor was removed, or course she lost all her hair from chemo. now, today, she is cancer free, but her tumor has grown back at the base of her brain again, so she has to have surgery again to remove the tumor. So she has to shave her head again to have the surgery, but the docs have told her she is at risk for surgery because of her weight, so she has to lose this weight before they can operate. And thats where she is today, currently. So after sitting down and talking with her on two different occasions for serveral hours, i thought, here is a good friend of mine that most definitely needs prayer and lots of it, because she has suffered so hard and for so long, that its amazing she's still so strong and upbeat on life. She still cuts jokes, but that's how she handles life everyday. My friend, she gets the prayer.
