Dustin Lance Black asks for your prayers this Christmas for his brother, Marcus Raul Black

Just read a blog post by Dustin Lance Black that has left me with a big lump in my throat.

The writer of J. Edgar and Milk has flown to Michigan to be with his brother, Marcus Raul Black, who is battling cancer.

Lance writes:

I love my big brother more than I can describe. We survived a lot of dark days when we were little boys. I won’t go into the details, but I don’t think I would have made it without him.  When I finally moved away from my brothers, we each put rings on our right middle fingers to remind us that we’re a family of survivors. You’ll see it in any picture I’ve ever taken.

So tonight I’m asking for your help. The doctors are saying it’s going to take a miracle for him to pull through this. So please, all I want for Christmas are your prayers for that miracle.

God bless Lance and his family. Here is a LINK to Marcus’s Facebook page.
