I have a couple of prayer requests for those of you who read the blog.
The first is for one of my best friends, Shara, whose daddy passed away yesterday. He choked on part of his dinner at a business meeting and despite multiple tries, the Heimlich didn't work. The ambulance took 30 minutes to come and by the time he was taken to ICU he had 1% brain activity. They made the incredibly tough decision to take him off life support last night. Shara is in my Kappa pledge class at Texas and is actually going to be my roommate next year. She is brilliant (Plan II), witty, and most of all sincere. This sudden tragedy has really shaken up all of us. Please pray for her and her family.
Also, another close friend, Aaron, was just diagnosed with bone cancer. He's a freshman Fiji at UT and is going to have to take off 10 weeks for chemotherapy. Athletic, smart, driven, hilarious; there is not a person I know that doesn't love Aaron. Luckily, he is a fighter and with prayers, we know he'll beat this.
Thank you so much for keeping these wonderful people in your thoughts! - Brooks
