13.  You See the Kid in the Middle?  He lives in the little town we moved from in MN.  His name is Luke.  The kid on the left is named Devon.  I have known Devon since he was about 7.   Luke is one of Devon's best friends.  Luke turned 16 on Halloween and is dying of cancer.  His family just decided last week to stop treatment and manage his pain for as long as they can.  I was sitting here planning and stressing about things like Thanksgiving dinner, shopping for Christmas gifts, and next summer's big concert when I checked in on Luke's CaringBridge site.  Now I feel like a piece of shit but I am grateful for the reality check that I apparently so badly needed.  As a mother, how could I not cry reading Luke's mother's words?  I am blessed beyond measure and the least I can do is ask everyone to ease this family's burden by praying.  So, please pray for this family.  PRAY HARD.
