Last Sunday, we all decided to fast for G'ma. Around dinner time my brother Reed and his wife Jamie brought their kids over to my parents house for Sunday dinner. They had told their kids about G'ma's, or as they call her "tutu"'s, condition. My eight year old nephew came down stairs to sit by me on the couch.
"Aunt Megan, guess what."
"What, Ethan?"
"My tutu has cancer, just like Papa did. We fasted and prayed for her today so she will get better and not die like papa did."
"That's wonderful Ethan. I know Heavenly Father will hear our prayers and bless Tutu."
"I know."
The faith of a child is humbling.
On Thursday, my mom and all of her siblings met in Houston to be with their mother as she underwent more tests. Thursday afternoon I received a text from my mother...
"Amazing answer to prayers!! It is not pancreatic cancer it is lymphoma which is highly treatable. Yeah!"
"Faith is a principal of action and of power." -- Elder Kevin W. Pearson
Now our prayers are that Tutu will be healed.

Meg! Did you get the scrapbook finished? I'm sure grandma loved it so much since we were not able to go down there with your Mom to Tx. It really was a miracle, I'm so glad that we were able to fast for her. It's so comforting knowing that she will be with us longer!
Megan,
I am so touched by your story of Grandma...we too, love her and were praying and still are for her quick recovery!
She means so much to so many.
With Love,
Auntie Donna
