I have a friend, whom I will here call "Sandra." (She's the friend I mentioned in my last post.) "Sandra" has a brother called "Mark," a mother called "Jane," and a Grandmother. Her Grandfather passed away this past year.
Nine years ago, "Jane" was diagnosed with breast cancer and given a three-to-six-month prognosis. Following a double mastectomy, she defied the odds and lived on. Now, however, the cancer has spread to her liver; the doctors say there is nothing else they can do.
"Mark" is getting married on May 25, 2014. "Sandra" requests prayers that her mother live, and especially that she survive until the wedding.
In Judaism, it is traditional to say psalms in the name of one who is ill as a way to pray for their healing. I have taken up psalm 90. Please join me in my prayers. Thank you.

About Me
- free_to_dream
- I am a bipolar, Jewish young adult (had my Hebrew birthday, the one I count, and turned 23 this past January) who also suffers from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. I love life and I live for my best friends: they are my purpose and my reason for trying so hard. I remain passionately devoted to those I love; I will not let my disorders make me totally self-centered. I like to read, write, and sew. My Rabbinical school plans did not work out, and I am now hoping to go into the field of Early Childhood Education. Please note: I am currently maintaining only Carried in His Hands. Enjoy!
