Praying for Health
by Erin M. Blair
---------------------------------------------

Cancer invades my body like a soldier
entering a foreign land; my blood is filled
with the enemy. I know what I must do, what
I must do in order to win the war against the
cancer that has metastasized into my 
bloodstream. . 

I want to live. I need to fight; I need to beat 
this.

I lost my faith along the way. I've stopped 
thinking of miracles since I was abducted. I 
need my faith back as I cry in my mother's 
arms. If I don't, I know the inevitable 
will happen. I can only imagine what Mulder 
and my family will feel. 
. 
I remember a time when Mulder held me in his
arms, telling me that the truth shall set us 
free. 

I hope he's right. I hope it'll save the both 
of us.

---- the end ----
