Fight, Pray, Love

(Note: Not my house, but same view)

I went outside to sit on the front porch and enjoy the last bit of warmth from the late afternoon sun as it made its way across the clear blue western sky. Such beauty, such peace, such calm. My thoughts drifted to a young man lying in a hospital bed a few thousand miles away, in severe pain, battling infection, fighting for his life. His family and friends are by his side with as much love and support that their hearts can give. I sat outside thinking about him. He will celebrate his 26th birthday today, fighting for his life.
