Months later and I am still being taught by a very sweet, special and unique person. Judson Levasheff will forever be a part of my days and I never even had the honor of meeting him. His parents and I are connected through Biola University. We attended a few years apart but have some friends in common. It's through these common denominators that I became aware of their very ill 2 year old son.
Jusdon began his journey with Krabbe Disease (a rare, genetic, incurable leukodystrophy) shortly after I began mine with Breast Cancer. It slowly robbed him of his sight, ability to walk, speech and all bodily functions. Within a few months, this wretched disease robbed us all of this amazing boy.
As I sat on the sidelines praying for Jud's miracle, I was witness to the hideous way the enemy works. But yet, this family and little 2 year old made a conscious decision to bring glory to the Author of Life.
Judson died in his parents arms on November 7, 2007. In the midst of their unfathomable heartache and grief, Drake & Christina have continued to make it their mission to be as open as possible. Their journey is a constant source of inspiration and lessons for me.
Judson has left an imprint on my heart that will be with me forever. I would feel honored if you would visit and spend some time on the site they have dedicated to Jud's memory. You'll be able to pray for them, learn from them and forever be touched by one of God's most faithful....an amazing little 2 year old boy.
