A sweet baby will be buried tomorrow, much too soon. At only 8 months old, James Camden Sikes lost his 3 week battle with brain cancer. I have cried so many tears for this family - how quickly their life has turned upside down. Jeff and I have often read their blog, mouths open, just shocked at how suddenly their lives have changed. We have only been married 5 weeks, and in that time James was diagnosed, underwent surgeries, waited for treatment, received news that the tumor had completely grown back, and died in the arms of his mother.
Sometimes we just don't know what the Lord has for our future. Thankfully, I can rest assured that He is in complete control, even when I don't understand. I'm so thankful that James had wonderful parents who were there every step, and who also have a personal and close relationship with our Father.
Pray for them as they face a difficult day tomorrow. They will need our prayers for their future as they grieve the loss of their sweet, precious child. If you want to read more, see their blog.

They have also set up a foundation to raise money for the type of cancer James had. It is very rare, and treatments are just now being developed.
