Are you there?

I’m personally not a man of faith but I’m very close to so many people that are. I used to be a long time ago while in my adolescence. One thing back then and now that bothered me is how casually people would say “I’ll pray for you.” I’m sure some did but I myself having experience in this did that myself but often times it slips your mind, or something else happens that makes the likelihood of actually having a first prayer by someone, it’s not long after that the intention and actions of actually praying on behalf of someone else sadly ends. I said that I don’t have faith but my mom does and I know she continually prays for my wellness and happiness. My mom like a lot of others is so foundational to who I feel I am and exist and continue to exist as a person. I won’t spend a lot more time on this about my bond and relationship with her just because I understand the basics is all that people who do pray for others really need. I just wanted to explain who I am and am not, that I have a request for my mom and am requesting that someone out there do what I sadly feel I cannot give wholeheartedly back with trust and love and not feel like it’s meaningless. I suppose the fact that I’m actually writing this to somebody else suggests that is not the case completely. But I feel without the foundations and actual genuine faith and connection with some divine, it still feels pointless. So, all I want to say now is that my Mom, Holly, was recently diagnosed with a type of cancer. Initially, we were at least someway relieved that it wasn’t in the later stages. However, tonight we learned that it actually is. So, from a son who loves his mother very much and feels completely inadequate, spiritually, to you or anyone else reading this, just help me do for her something she would do for me with her own faith that you’re graciously giving to others with these. Thank you, Aaron.
