In November of last year, I came upon this blog page: http://prayforjoseph.blogspot.com/
It was on a friend of a friend's blog and she was asking people to pray for this little boy she new, Joseph. He was only 3 years old and had an incurable brain tumor. He was so cute and looked so full of life and I was so deeply saddened by his story. I thought to myself, that could be my child, and it really hit home for me. I put his blog page on my favorites list and would check in on him regularly and pray for him and his family, usually crying my eyes out every time.
Tonight, I got on to check up on him, and as always, I had a fear that there would be a new post saying he didn't make it. Well, this time, it was there. He passed away on Thursday. I am SO sad for him and his family and his little sister who doesn't have her brother with her anymore. He and his family have gone through SO much. I found his blog page the day after it was started, so I've been following him from the beginning.
It makes my everyday trials seem microscopic. It reminds me of just how much I take for granted and how much I complain and get frustrated over such little things. It makes me want to be a better person and a better mother and live life to the fullest, literally living every day like it's my last day on earth.
Please pray for this family with me.

Hi Melissa... just wanted to let you know I feel the same way. I've been keeping up with their blog also and cried and cried on thursday when I read the news. What a blessing that he is in heaven, brand new and no more pain. But I can't imagine what the family is going through, losing their son and brother. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
That is so crazy bc I have been watching the blog as well and cried and cried as well. I just wanted to hold Terrace all day long. Let's keep his family in our thoughts and prayers.
