Twelve years ago this past Tuesday my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. Twelve years ago today he underwent nine hours of surgery to have a huge tumor removed from his brain stem. Just four months ago we celebrated his 18th birthday.
Once while he was laying on our couch, feeding tube in his stomach and ZERO immune system and scared out of his little mind. Jesus appeared in front of him and told him not to fear everything will be fine.
The doctors only gave him a 25% chance of surviving this ordeal but God had other plans for my son. Now he is 18 years old and He has the strongest moral compass of anyone I know! He won't lie to anyone, he listens and has his own opinions well beyond his years. Some of what he says I have no doubt comes straight from the Holy Spirit. When my dad passed away my son refused to get. When I asked him why no tears he looked me in the eye and said IT'S ONLY A TEMPORARY DEPARTURE WE WILL SEE HIM AGAIN SOON. That blew me away! I know for a fact God touched his life and blessed him with understanding far beyond anyone else I know. I love this boy of mine. He teaches me at times (but I'll never tell him that). Thomas is my miracle child!!!
