The Life of Titus: My Heart Hurts

My Heart Hurts

I just found out that a precious child of friends has passed away from Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. He has been battling this cancer for the last 4 years. His fight was valiant, his family has been courageous, and now, as stated on his website - healing has come. But my heart so hurts for them tonight. To loose a child at the age of 8 is heartbreaking.

So I ask tonight that you lift up the Cruse family in your prayers. Connor parents, Joy and Tait, and his siblings, Mackenzie, Carson, and Mason need prayers for comfort and rest and peace.

Oh, my heart breaks and hurts for them tonight.

Introduction

This all began with emails, random thoughts, and prayer requests when our 5th son, Titus Beck, was born. From the moment he was born, issues arose which have led us on a new journey of faith.

Titus was born with micronagthia (recessed chin) that blocked his breathing, cleft palate, profound deafness, blindness, Dandy-Walker variant, ASD/VSD, hemi-vertebrae in the spine, and the list continues. He has had 8 surgeries in 14 months and spent 115 days in the NICU or PICU.

And yet, with all of that, Titus is gift from God, a blessing, a content and happy baby.

And along with Titus, we have 4 other boys, 2 golden retrievers, 2 nurses, and whole cast of characters that flow in and out of our house. To us, it's quite routine and normal, but others don't seem to see it that way. Follow along the journey of our daily life.
