Roommates

My sister called me this morning. A friend of hers had found a blog written by a Taylor grad for his wife, who has/had cancer (she's also a Taylor grad). Traci clicked on the link and as she read, she noticed a picture at the top of the page of the wife and their little son. The caption read, "Mommy and TJ at Uncle Tad's wedding."

Traci knew Uncle Tad. Tad went to Taylor too. Tad was the brother of Tyson.

Tyson was my roommate.

Tyson and I were never good at phone calls (we were only good at talking every night until we drifted off to sleep), and over the last few years, we had lost touch. I have not known what was going on with he and Leslie, and their news hit me like a brick.

I love Tyson dearly, and I'm hurting deeply for him and Leslie. Please pray for her; pray for their family.
Even though you may not know him, you're probably reading this b/c you know me. I can't express how much Tyson means to me - so please pray for them.

Here's their blog:

Troy,
Traci called me yesterday with the news about Leslie. I read the entire blog and my heart aches for them. We started a new small group last night and I shared her story with them. Our group is praying. Dad is praying. I am praying; for Leslie, for Tyson and their precious little boy.
Love you,
Mom
