I have faith. And I believe in miracles. And more importantly, I believe in the power of good over evil.
And so, I apply my faith, and my beliefs, to my friend Kaihea, who is, as we speak, in the ICU in Washington, D.C. Not only is she fighting this horrible, evil cancer, but she had to have surgery to replace a kidney stent over the weekend. And as if that weren't bad enough, she aspirated fluid during the surgery. Which landed her in the ICU. Because fighting the cancer isn't fucking enough, I guess she needed to have her strength taxed even further fighting stupid fluids in her lungs.
Despite the bleak outlook, I have faith that God will heal her. I believe that the hour before dawn is the darkest. I hope like hell this is the darkest hour. Please, God, let this be the turning point. Please shrink the tumors. Please heal her lungs. Please, God, please, let my friend live. She's only 34 years old. It is not her time. The gifts she has for this world are many and wondrous.
Please, God. I'm on my knees, asking for your mercy. Hold her in your arms and shine your healing light upon her.
Please.

I hope he hears your prayers and that your friend comes through this. There are too many disappointments in life without these overwhelming ones, though it does help put all the others in perspective: I could not afford the car I wanted, my job is not satisfying or I can't be with that hot red head I want so bad - there are worse things! There is always hope and that is what keeps some of us going.
