"JOHN'S JOURNEY"

THIS WEEK MY BROTHER AND SISTER-N-LAW WERE GIVEN THE NEWS THAT NO PARENTS SHOULD EVER HAVE TO RECEIVE.    5 MONTHS AGO THEY HAPPILY ADDED TWIN BOYS JOHN & JAKOB TO THEIR GROWING FAMILY GIVING THEM A TOTAL OF NINE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.     THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE LOVE THAT THESE TWO HAVE FOR EACH OTHER AND EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEIR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.     THEIR HAPPINESS CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT ON MONDAY WHEN 5 MONTH OLD JOHN WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ONE OF THE WORST CONDITIONS OF LEUKEMIA AND ERIC & TONYA HAVE BEEN AT HIS SIDE IN SHANDS GAINESVILLE AS THE REST OF THE EXTENDED FAMILY TENDS TO THEIR EIGHT CHILDREN AT HOME.     MY BROTHER ERIC  IS  SELF EMPLOYED  AND  HAS  BEEN  FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I HAVE NEVER KNOWN A MAN THAT WORKS HARDER  FOR HIS  FAMILY THAN ERIC.    TODAY HE SPOKE WITH MY MOTHER SAYING HE WILL BE SHUTTING  HIS  BUSINESS  DOWN FOR NOW BECAUSE HE REFUSES TO LEAVE HIS  SONS  BEDSIDE.     THROUGH HIS TEARS  HE MENTIONED THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW  WHAT THEY  WILL  DO AND BEING  THE  MAN  THAT  HE IS ,  WOULD NEVER EXPECT ANY THING  SUCH AS THIS TO EXIST ,  AND THAT HIS FRIENDS , AND LOVED ONES COULD POSSIBLY PULL TOGETHER TO HELP HIM TAKE CARE OF NOT JUST JOHN BUT ALL  HIS  & TONYA'S  NINE CHILDREN.   THE MEDICAL BILLS ARE MOUNTING  AND  MY BROTHER  WOULD  NEVER  NOT WANT TO BE ABLE TO REPAY THE VERY PEOPLE THAT ARE TAKING CARE OF HIS PRECIOUS  CHILD DURING THIS VERY DIFFICULT TIME.    I WANT ERIC & TONYA TO RECEIVE A BREATH OF HOPE IN REGARDS TO THIS FINANCIAL SETBACK THAT NEITHER COULD HAVE POSSIBLY PREDICTED. TONYA IS A WONDERFUL MOTHER WHOM HOME SCHOOLS  HER  CHILDREN  WHILE  ERIC  WORKS b15  HOUR DAYS TO  MAKE  SURE ALL THEIR NEEDS  ARE  MET.   I  AM ASKING YOU FROM ALL THE BEAUREGARD FAMILY TO PLEASE REACH OUT AND OFFER  SOME RELIEF TO A FAMILY THAT HAS ALWAYS  GIVEN TO THEIR COMMUNITY AND A FAMILY THAT IS  SO HUMBLED THAT THIS  WILL TRULY REACH THE DEPTHS  OF THEIR  HEARTS. THERE HAS NEVER ONCE BEEN A TIME WHERE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN GIVERS  IN  ALL  ASPECTS OF THEIR  LIVES  SO  I  BEG  OF  YOU TO PLEASE HELP THIS  FAMILY OF 11  , AND OFFER THEM SOME GLIMMER OF HOPE SO THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE BURDENED BY ANYTHING AND CAN STAY RIGHT BESIDE JOHN DURING THE MOST DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL TIME OF THEIR LIFE.      GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AND THOSE OF YOU WHOM KNOW  MY BROTHER KNOW ALL TO WELL THAT HE WILL BE HUMBLED YET IN TEARS OVER THE SHEAR COMPASSION OF HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY DURING A TIME WHEN HE TRULY TRULY NEEDS YOUR HELP.    THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR YOUR HELP.    PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR OUR "PRECIOUS JOHN BEAUREGARD".
