There are nights that feel longer than a century, and there are silences that roar louder than thunder. Last night, in a small home in Ralph, Alabama, the lights likely never went out. I cannot begin to imagine how Will Roberts navigated those hours. I dare not think of the heavy, sleepless eyes of Jason and Brittney—parents carrying the weight of a mountain called “The Wait.”
Today is not just another day. Today is the day destiny defines a new chapter.
1. Behind the Scans: A Battle of Faith
Three days ago, Will—the teenager whose smile lights up a room despite the cruel bone cancer inside him—stepped into a room for full-body scans. For cancer warriors, “Scan Day” is never just a medical procedure. It is a verdict or a passport. It is the moment where science speaks, and the heart trembles.
For the last 72 hours, the Roberts family has lived in a state doctors call “Scanxiety”—the agonizing dread of waiting for results. Every ring of the phone, every footstep in the hallway, could be the signal of a life-altering shift.
But there is one thing cancer will never understand: The Roberts family does not fight with mere human strength. They fight with a deep-rooted faith and a massive community standing guard behind them.
2. Ralph, Alabama – Where Love Outruns Fear
Today, Jason and Brittney will sit across from a medical team. They will look at the films, listening to sterile medical terms about tumor growth, shadows, and next steps for treatment. There may be smiles of relief, or there may be heartbreaking decisions about a more painful road ahead.
But regardless of the results, one truth remains unshakable: Will Roberts is a warrior. A warrior who doesn’t just fight for himself, but fights to prove that as long as hope remains, death never gets the final word.
We often ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” We may never find a satisfying answer. But we can choose how we respond. The Roberts family chose to face it with transparency, with love, and by opening their arms to the prayers of strangers.
3. The Power of Intercession: Why Your Comment Matters
You might be sitting somewhere far from Ralph, Alabama. You may have never met Will, never shaken Jason’s hand, or hugged Brittney. But in the world of spirit and energy, there is no distance.
When you leave an encouraging message, when you take one minute to pray, you are sending a literal “spiritual medicine.” Science has proven that the psychological state of a patient and their family plays a vital role in recovery.
- Your message might be the reason Brittney smiles in the middle of the storm.
- Your prayer might be the strength that helps Jason stand firm as the pillar for his son.
- And your concern is the proof Will needs to see that the world is holding its breath for him.
4. A Call to Action: Don’t Let Them Stand Alone Today!
The more people who know Will’s story, the stronger the circle of protection around him becomes. Social media algorithms are strange—they prioritize connection. When you interact with this post, you are helping “push” hope further, reaching others who may also need strength for their own battles.
Let us join together in three small but life-changing actions:
- Leave a message for Will: Don’t just “Like.” Write a sentence, however brief, to let the Roberts family know you are there. “We are praying for you,” “Will, you are a warrior!”, or even just a simple ❤️.
- Share this journey: Spread Will’s story. Every share is a declaration that cancer can attack the body, but it can never touch the soul.
- Take practical action: If you are able, please visit Will’s GoFundMe page. Medical costs are a tangible burden, and together we can lighten that load. (Link is pinned in the first comment).
5. Closing: Waiting for a Miracle
I will stay in close contact with the Roberts family. As soon as I receive any information from Brittney regarding the scan results, I will update all of you.
In the meantime, let the silence of the hospital room be filled with the sound of thousands of prayers. Let the fear of today be crushed by the faith in tomorrow.
Will Roberts, you are not fighting alone. We are one giant family, and we will walk through this door with you.
