Prayers for Canon: Update

by Staff Writer

Last week, I told you about Canon, a four-year-old boy who was struggling after a heart transplant. Canon’s mother, Carla, has announced that he passed away on Saturday:

Canon my beautiful angel from heaven passed away this morning. He had two major bleeds last night in his brain. Doctors could not do anything for Canon. I along with family and friends were with him when he died.

Thank you so much for all your prayers during this tough time. Canon is now playing baseball, football, basketball, and drinking all the Sprite he wants.

Love, Carla

The internet is a powerful tool of emotional detachment. We lurk behind user names and screen names, presenting a face we want the world to see. We can close the browser, click ‘Back’, choose to follow links or not. We can even wipe our footprints from the snow, leave without a trace. We can ignore.

Yet what a blessing to have known Canon, if only briefly and from a distance.

    Oh my..I read her blog the day he died. It is SO sad. I was praying for him when I heard about him a few weeks ago.

    This post lead me to his parents’ blogs, and an hour of reading and crying. Thank you for reminding me what’s important in life.
