Meeting Brian almost 1 year ago at the Center on Halsted in Chicago was a expected in counter, i will treasure for the rest of my life. My first glace at this mature individual, could not help but notice how great he looked for his size and weight. Compared to how I felt mine was - it was no match. '
"I was some blowded disaster-and won't dare mention size either!
However, the day went on and desperately wanted to work towards looking the way he did. Finally, one day i pulled myself together to get nerve to really approach him. Brain seamed always serious, distant, and mature. On various subjects we discussed, he was even more distant which really made me wonder what was going on, and my interest towards him even more. A week after my first encounter something inside of me said that there was more than the eye with Brian. Another week and day went by - while still wondering why this guy was distancing himself from a great friend and people. I finally put my foot down and made the right decision to figure it out . I did not care if he was upset or thought of me as some crazy person. Something inside of me made me want to get to the bottom of what issue he may or may not have been dealing with. Anyway, after several ignore attempts on his part on face book he finally responded. He explained to me through a chat, he had a termly ill cancer. He mentioned that it was the icing on the cake added to other stress relate conflicts taking over his life, health, and diet. I told him to stop it, pray, count your blessings, and be brave! He said he could not because he had lost a child he had, did not care, or too much about anything and gave up. After that in counter with him Brian went missing again - had not seen him for months. During those months my closest sister Desire passed away. Cancer in her uterus took her away from her family and me 2yrs ago today. My sister's death had actually caused me to become like Brian. I had thoughts of giving up on everthing.
When i recently saw Brain 3 weeks ago, I almost did not recognized what i saw. Brian now looking like the miracle was. Today he's now bigger than me i estimate he weighs about 209pds at 5.8 in height. Prayers do work for some people. I could not approach Brian at 1st because i was jealous.. because in my heart ..i wish the same had happen for the sister Desire. But God loves all people.. proud that some miracle's do happen and so glad it was his...

This story brought me to tears. Just a wonderful story of friendship and how Cancer can effect 2 lives at the same time. Several years ago my Dad had to deal with the trauma of cancer and how he could never eat food. He lost so much weight would not eat. He died of pancreantic cancer, he was in so much pain. Honestly i was happy he passed away in his sleep within 6 days after 1 yr on constant pain in his stomach.
