Dear God please hear my prayer and watch over my son.  What a long lonely night...  

Long because every minute was one that I didn't know if he would make it through.  Minute after agonizing minute loving him deeper than is expressable and wanting to rescue him from whatever is wraking his body; wanting to rescue him from the doctors that were so scary and hurting him.  I don't do things to hurt him.  He trusts me and yet I held him down well strangers poked him with needles.  God have mercy!  I am his father, I enjoy impressing him and modeling strength...But I am not strong, I don't have the answers to most things.  The man he looks up to is weak and can not give life.  We are equals. I don't deserve to have his wondrous admiration.  I can only be company for him in this world of uncertainty.  Please God that I serve, hear the lonely prayer of a speck who has not felt your embrace.   Please in all respect to you, embrace me by returning the spark of health and youthful strength to my beautiful son.  Embrace me by giving him a chance, now and onward, to learn through my glimmer of an example where strength comes from.  Your will be done.   amen
