Lottery for Good Health and Your Prayers [550SP]

«1
Hi everyone, since the beginning of 2013, I've been getting terrible news all around me. Recently my dad's sister and half-brother passed away. My only Uncle from my mom's side is on life support and dialysis after going through a heart surgery, a brain stroke, liver failure, water in his lungs, and a bad ear infection. It's a miracle he's made it this far and I'm not giving up on him but I desperately need your prayers. My Uncle's been nothing but a good person with a smile that lights up every room he steps in. We've come to the conclusion that he was born fragile (which didn't help his ignorance to serious symptoms), he's never smoked or anything. My Uncle's mother is living strong at age 65 after having 10 children (bless her). Also yesterday at school we received news that one of the most nicest, high-spirited teacher's only son passed away at age 22. It's sad to see children pass away before their parents regardless of age. So I would appreciate nothing more than to receive a moment of thought and prayer for my Uncle, the well being of his wife and three children (that hopefully God forbids he leave behind), for the well being of my family and I, and for the well being of you and your family as well.

Prizes: 550SP (I was saving more to host a lottery for something jollier but I felt this needed to be done)
1st: 75
2nd: 200
3rd: 50
4th: 75
5th: 100
6th: 50

    I don't want to be in the lottery - I just want to let you know I'll remember you in my prayers. I don't need anything to do that for you :)

    There is no need for you to put me in the lottery. I never really know how to respond to things like this because there is nothing I feel like I can say to make it better. I am truly sorry that all of this is happening. It must be really hard to take this in all at once. Your uncle and all of your family will be in my thoughts.

    Oh my goodness, I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through Summer! *hugs*

    My family and I have been having a rough couple of years because we have all split apart from our moving to a new state, relatives getting cancer, my newborn niece being diagnosed with Down's Syndrome, my sister having a tough time with life in general, and well, it's been really bad time for us you could say. So I suppose I could say I relate with you in your problems. I know how nice it is having people identify with your problems, and I definitely know how you feel. Please know that you and your entire family are in my prayers :)

    I would like to say that my one uncle who had cancer, he had Stage 3. That's the stage right before death. He went to the doctor one day and they diagnosed him cured of cancer. They were completely stunned and basically pronounced it a miracle. There's always hope and a light at the end of the tunnel Summer, so I'm hoping that the problems your family is going through will all end soon :)

    Sorry for the long boring paragraphs. LOL. Just thought to say I understand what you're all going through.


    ETA: I don't need to be added to the lottery. Just thought to say you're in my prayers :D

    Thank you all so much for your support and kind words. I was shy to post this as I didn't want to ruin anyone's Saturday night with a sad post so I threw in the lottery. I truly don't mind if anyone wants to join. There is just nothing I can do but get as many prayers as I can for my Uncle. My Aunt is too young to lose a husband and my cousins are too young to lose a loving father. They just can't...

    I am thrilled your brother's fought it off!! I really hope I get to share the same wonderful news about my Uncle with you. Please keep your brother smothered in smiles!
    Yes, sickness is all around us, beyond usual this year for me. My best friend's grandfather recently had a stroke and got defined as blind. We've been friends for years and her grandfather just happens to get sick now. I don't believe in 13 being bad luck since you can't ever call a newborn unlucky for being born this year, or a newlywed cursed for getting married this year. I just guess my eyes are being widened to the dark times of life.

    I'm so sorry about your family and the split, I completely understand how you feel. My Uncle and relatives are all the way across the ocean... so the phone holds the final words of what my Uncle's health will turn out...
    Thank you so much for giving me hope, I had completely started losing it... I'm beyond happy for your Uncle and pray that may MANY MANY years be ahead of him!

    I think it's weird you're using store points for prayers. No amount of store points can rival the compassion and well wishes that is going to be sent your way. Keep your spirits up and have faith. Faith in God, because it is so, but more importantly faith in yourself and in your uncle. "God only help those that help themselves", nothing is stronger than your very actions right now. You must do what you can, no matter how insignificant, because it will be worth a thousand prayers.

    I give you my best wishes, and take a moment of silence for what has happened in your life. I'm sorry for your loss.
    No lottery is necessary.

    Read above. Also, the lottery is for in cheer of good health. I'm not used to losing a very close relative, this is my first time. I'm also not used to expressing myself so I'm sorry if I'm awkward about it and decide to have a lottery. Thank you for your well wishes though.

    I will keep your family in my thoughts. Like others have said, I don't really know what to say to lessen your pain. But it sounds like you have a big, close family. And whatever happens I'm sure you will all get through it and support each other.


    "In the end, everything will be okay. If it's not okay, it's not yet the end." ~Fernando Sabino

    "When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile."

    "The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief." ~William Shakespeare

    "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." ~Mother Teresa

    Sorry if posting quotes is trite or offensive... Like I said before, I'm really awkward when it comes to serious issues. I sincerely hope that things get better soon. *hug*

    I don't mind being in the lotto or not. Whatever works best for you if you carry on hosting one.

    We don't know the reasons why we must face the hardships that we have in our lives. All we can do is hold on to our faith and hope and pray that everything will be all right. May God keep you and your loved ones in his loving embrace and give you all the love, strength and courage needed. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    It's kind of you to hold a lotto but you didn't have too for this. You don't need to put me down for it. *Hugs*

    Summerrrrr!!!!! My dear friend, I am sorry to hear what you are going through right now. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family during your time of need. I hope this poem cheers you up a little because I know God is there to help you through:

    FOOTPRINTS

    One night a man had a dream.

    He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.

    Scenes from his life flashed across the sky
    and he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
    one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.

    When the last scene of his life had flashed before him,
    he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times of his life
    there was only one set of footprints.

    Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
    you'd walk with me all the way.
    I don't understand why, when I needed you most,
    you would leave me."

    The Lord replied, "My precious child.
    I love you and I would never leave you.

    During your times of trial and suffering
    when you saw only one set of footprints...

    That was when I carried you."


    Just know you are not alone Summer, we are here for you if you need to talk, and I do have someone for the lottery. This person has been a great friend and a joy to know. Its summermistx3: http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=summermistx3 (you need to take those points and spend them on yourself right now to help take you mind off things).

    BIG HUGZ TO ONE OF MY GREAT FRIENDS!!!!!

    * The Krazy_Kim Sim *
