Yes, I’ve sadly neglected this blog while getting ready for the holidays, working two jobs, adopting a rescue puppy (more on that later)… blah blah. So I haven’t had much time to blog. Yet none of that seems to matter in the face of what’s happening to a friend.
Andrew Lawton of Strictly Right was admitted to the hospital last week and remains in critical condition. Some of you may know that Andrew had a stroke at the tender age of 21, and he’s now just 23. He pushes himself hard, with television appearances, speaker promotion, he’s writing a book… the boy is busy. But his body doesn’t agree with the grueling schedule he has set for himself. His body isn’t as strong as his spirit.
Without getting into the gory details of what the past few days have put Andrew through, I merely want to ask for your prayers for him and his family. I want you to pray that his heart is strong enough to beat on its own. I want you to pray that he comes out of the coma with his brilliant mind intact. I want you to pray that his family has the strength to endure this difficult holiday season of hospital coffee, delayed celebrations and constant fear.
There are no comments permitted on this post today. I’ve already seen too many comments elsewhere about how he deserves to suffer because he feels Canadians are getting a shitty deal with our health care system. Let that shitty health care system prove Andrew wrong. In any case, assholes don’t get the right to talk about my friend here, when we don’t even know if he will live to Christmas Day. Suffice it to say, Andrew wouldn’t be shocked by the behavior of the loony left. Nor would I be, but I’m not letting you befoul this space.
