Well, I was having an okay morning....I'd been able to sleep in, this being the second day of my summer vacation, and was kind of bummed that I had to do laundry. But on the whole, it was okay. But now....it sucks.

My cousin, who's twelve, had been sick for awhile. He'd had a bad cold that turned into walking pnuemonia. I just got a call this morning from his mom to tell me what they thought was a simple infection is really a lot worse. He has luekemia...ALL to be exact. It's the most treatable kind of cancer in children, but it doesn't change th fact that he is a very sick boy. And just a few weeks ago, he was hitting home runs and running victory laps around the bases.

I would appreciate if you would keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He'll undergo chemo for a few months, and hopefully he'll go into remission.
