That is the prayer Brittney whispers in the quiet moments — the ones no one sees — as she watches her firstborn son endure a pain no parent should ever have to witness.
Her son, Will Roberts, is just 14 years old.
He is battling bone cancer.
Will has already lost his left leg to this disease. A loss that changed his body, his world, and the childhood he should still be living. But now, the cancer is threatening even more — his strength, his mobility, and the fragile sense of normalcy he’s fought so hard to hold onto.
Brittney looks at family photos and sees what everyone else sees: two smiling, healthy children standing side by side.
But only she knows the truth behind those pictures.
She sees the scars hidden beneath clothes.
The surgeries etched into memory.
The fear that never fully leaves.
She watches Will push through pain so severe it has once again taken away his ability to walk — and it paralyzes her soul. There is nothing more helpless than loving your child and being unable to take the pain from them.
And Brittney is tired.https://greenmhs.nexirainvest.com/sat-jesus-help-me-im-breaking-im-aching/
Not just physically — but spiritually exhausted.
She reaches for her faith with trembling hands. She asks God to stay close. To bring peace. To do what doctors cannot. To deliver a miracle when her heart feels like it might give out.
This is the reality of childhood cancer.
It doesn’t just attack a body.
It invades a home.
It stretches a family to its breaking point.
It asks parents to be strong even when they feel completely undone.
If you’re reading this, please take a moment to lift Will and his family up in prayer.
And if you have words of encouragement, leave them here.
Brittney could use every prayer right now.
