Why Me?
Cancer
My mom works at a hospital, and i spend alot of time up there, just watching the people walking by hocked up to IVs and riding in wheel-a-chairs. i've watch people waiting for news of a love one. i've seen people crying in the arms of a love one and i knew that the new was not good. but i always watched quietly with out a word waiting for my mother to come and get me. and every time i see a sick little kid or a person walking with a help of a love one cause they are to weak to do it them self. I wish i could do something for them, to take their ills from them, to make them heathy once more. so they can return to the lives they once had.before their heath was taken from them. but im just humen, i cant do anything but watch and hope...but every time it was someone i dont know i was watch ...

today my mom told me that my uncle Rick has liver and colon cancer. i knew he wasn't feeling good but everyone thought it was just his Gallbladder acting up. and that it was just going to be an easy fix, that he'd change his diet and have to take some pills and be all better..but thats not the case ...it makes me feel even more useless, being humen, being unable to do anything but hope and pray for the better.

it doesn't help that uncle Rick is almost like a Second father to me, he and my Ant use to watch my brothers and my when we where little. he use to do magic tricks they when i was little where so cool and now that im older, he'd show me all the bird picture he's taken he's the one that got me in to bird watching you can say.

i know im feelinf useless, upset, lost, sad, mad, and a world of other emotions. and he's just my uncle ... i can't help but think about how my cousins are feeling, their dad has cancer, some of my cousins have little kids, for them grandfather has cancer, i feel sorry for them all and i wish i could do something more to help...i most likely be watching my Second cousins alot. so that my cousins can be at their dads side their this hard time. so atleast im help a little.

Please pray for my Uncle Rick and his family ...
ill mostly up dated once i have more news good or bad

I'm sorry about that. That's really sad. crying

My grandma died about a year ago, and I still feel a bit sad. It's hard, I know. She was really close to me since my dad brought her in, and my family had to take care of her. Life can be tough and sometimes a bit cruel, but we just have to look on the bright side of things, you know? I really hope your uncle makes it through. I think he will. I'm so sorry that happened though. I just hope he gets better, and you are definetly NOT useless. If you really want to help him, be there to support him all the way. There is nothing more important than the ones you love there by your side.

You may not know me, but I signed that petition for the Scammers thing. I was going to click the "Community" link but instead I ended up at your profile and then I saw your journal.

The latest one that said "Cancer".

And at first, I was feeling worried that it might be you.

But now, reading your entry I understand.

Dunno if you believe in God or whatnot, but I do.

And I want you to know that after I sumbit this, I'll pray for your Uncle and his family.

im so sorry. T.T

i understand why u feel totally useless, but u aren't. coz, u see, ur uncle needs support now more that ever, and u visiting him and u caring and u just being there for him is helping him want to fight his cancer and is helping him emotionally to deal with it.

so, yeah, u can keep thinking that u are completely and totally useless, but believe me ur uncle knows that that's untrue.

i personally don't believe in god ever since my grand-uncle died about 3 years ago, so trust me, i know what it feels like to feel completely useless; i prayed and prayed for days but he still passed away. But i think that ur amazing coz ur so much stronger than me coz ur still able to hope and to believe.

i hope i helped u understand what an important emotional role u have in this man's life and that u feel less useless.

i really truly hope that ur uncle gets better. take care.

My older sister had a heart attack and my mom who's her mom visited her when she could now her right side of her body is limp and she can't speak that well but u can still understand her. I will pray for your uncle just as i had to pray for my mom and my older sister when they were in the hospital there is always hope. May God bless u and your family

Your journal caught my eye.

I will say a prayer for your uncle right when I hit the submit button. I'm going to church tomorrow, so I'll say a prayer there, too. I know how you feel, though. My uncle has blood cancer, and hepititus. He has about three years to live.

May God be with you. <3
