Prayer Request RIP Shon - Page 2

**cdcox** · 07-05-2010, 09:11 AM

Seven years ago, my wife's cousin Shon was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 30. After two surgeries and several rounds of chemo, the brain cancer went into remission. However, since being diagnosed, he was unable to drive a car or work due to occasional seizures and overall weakness. But this didn't stop Shon from living his life. In the last few years, he and his wife have adopted two little girls. Shon was their stay-at-home dad. For the last year or so Shon been battling a form of leukemia, probably brought on by his chemotherapy treatments and has been in and out of the hospital on a regular basis. Through this all, Shon kept a great attitude. I don't know of anyone that ever saw him get down about his situation. He had tremendous faith every step of the way. Prior, to being diagnosed for brain cancer, Shon worked in hazardous waste management and clean up. But he never blamed his cancer on his job, that just wasn't his way. Oh yeah, and Shon was a Chiefs fan.

Last night, Shon lost his battle. Shon wouldn't want anyone to feel sorry for him, as his Lord has rescued him from this veil of tears and he is in a better place than any of us. He wouldn't mind you saying a prayer or sending good thoughts toward his wife and daughters. And he wouldn't mind you living every day of your life to it's fullest. RIP, Shon.

Dude, I'm so sorry. He sounds like a helluva man, to go through all that and still adopt 2 children. Good mojo headed that way.
