Hello Friends. Thank you for continuing to hold Luke and our family in your prayers. There is so much being thrown at Luke right now, several times he has used the word "daunting" to describe his situation. The chemotherapy by itself is overwhelming, and it just keeps coming week after week. The process of getting fitted for a prosthetic, and then learning how to walk with one, is also lengthy and tedious. When you add in school and hair falling out and the fact that Luke almost never feels very well physically, it's a lot for Luke to handle. Please pray for wisdom and patience to navigate all that is in front of us, and also for God to provide peace in the midst of all that is going on. Recently Luke and I were driving home from haircuts, and he looked so handsome that I tried to get a picture of him, much to his dismay. After several photos of his hand, and the back of his head, and his bitter face, I finally got a good one. We are blessed to call this brave young man our son. Of course, we can't stop praying, WON'T stop praying, for God to heal our boy. (James 5:14-16) God bless, James & Lu (for Sam, Jay & Luke)

Dear Luke and family. Thinking about you all and praying for you. "Cast your burdens on the Lord and He will sustain you. He will not suffer the righteous to be moved. Evening and morning and at noon will I pray, and I'll cry out loud and He will hear my voice." One of my favorite songs. It's also scripture. Psalm 55: v 16, 17, 22. God bless. Laurel.

"Daunting" is a perfect word for all that Luke and your family are going through and for "C"! I wish we could take away all the daunting away, but we can't. "One Day (or moment) at a time." Always here for you! Hugs, love, and prayers...😊😊

I only found out about Luke recently as I moved to South Carolina 9 years ago. I remember seeing Luke so often in his little stroller when Jay and Sam came to Cedar Elrmentary. . He has grown in to such a handsome young man. I also enjoyed seeing the picture of Sam and Jay. You are all in my prayers as you travel through this very trying time.
