Faith is an incredible thing. It is hard to believe in something that you cannot see. We are Catholic and we believe in God. The truth however, is that going to church is hard and living a faith-filled life is an ongoing struggle and a lifelong challenge. When something happens in your life that you have no control over,you turn into yourself and ask for help. When Nick got cancer a second time there was a lot of praying.
Real Life Cancer Story
On December 28th Nick had a horrible nose bleed while he was in the hospital. His nose had been bleeding for over two hours, he was vomiting blood, and the doctors were doing everything possible to stop the bleeding. There was complete chaos at Nick’s bedside with IV fluids, medications, basins, flashlights, blood, surgical tools, and a lot of desperation in a critical situation. In the middle of this “hurricane” there was a moment when Nick held his hands together, with his eyes shut and was silently praying. It was as if everything in the room didn’t matter and there was warmth and it was calm. This was a moment of faith and answered prayers. “Our life experience has been very difficult but we very much believe that it would not have been manageable without our faith. We should take a moment in our lives to give thanks and know that our faith will always bring us light.”
