My Easter Hope for Kiefer

Easter is my favourite time of year. A time for hope and renewal as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ.

I’ve written about Kiefer before. http://q-tipps.blogspot.com/2008/09/kiefer-rockford-and-sutherland.html He was diagnosed with a glioblastoma at Christmas 2006 with a recurrence at Christmas 2007. In September 2008 he was told to get his house in order.

Since that time Kiefer has been fighting the good fight. While Canadian physicians had nothing more to offer, Kiefer opted for alternative therapy treatments in Berlin. The tumour has marginally reduced in size and he continues to experience headaches and suffers from spatial memory and hand-eye coordination impairments. Kiefer will be returning to Berlin for his last treatment shortly.

Today Kiefer and Rockford celebrated the return of Tiger to their golf world, betting on Tiger’s outcome at the Masters this Easter weekend. I overheard Rockford, commending Kiefer for being a brave soldier and acknowledging him for his inspiration, courage, perseverance and faith. The Ya-Ya Brotherhood, always the best of friends.

While watching the Masters this Easter weekend we will be gathered with friends and family and believing for Kiefer’s miracle. Kiefer, you lead by example. God’s not finished with you yet. Thank you for being a friend. We believe Kief and you are loved! Happy Easter buddy...
