My friend
Kevin Lerant from
Jakarta,
Indonesia has been fighting
brain cancer through the summer (and as long as I have known him). He has undergone several operations to remove the cancer and is now on chemotherapy. Kevin will return home after 3 or 4 months if he gets better (i.e. the cancer in remission). He is only 19 years old and has been attending college in Jakarta. The death of his parents a year ago followed by the recent sudden death of the dad that adopted him has all added to the trauma, so much for a young man to bear. Please give Kevin your prayers and well wishes! I will pass them on to him whom I am certain will be cheered by this.
Kevin is the best friend (and brother) of my adopted son,
Wahid, also of
Jakarta. I chat three times a day on average with my son who also lost his own parents and older brother in the same accident that killed Kevins parents. Attending to my son and his needs has kept me away from blogging for a while. Well, I fit this all in between working, eating and sleeping and all those mundane chores that need doing. I hope all is well, and that you are getting ready to wind down for the year now that we are in
December!
