Cory Hudson
Is it just me or does everyone just sometimes want to ask why?
Cory Hudson died yesterday. He was a friend of my son Gabe. Both of them 15 years old.
Just before the Easter school Holidays this year Cory was out surfing with his Dad Steve. He said he had a headache and wanted to go in. Not like Cory at all.
During that week, Gabe came home from school and said Cory had fallen at school and hit his head "I think he had to go to hospital."
That weekend, at church, we heard that Cory was critically ill in Royal Brisbane Hospital with a baffling and very aggressive pneumonia.
The last six months have been terrible for Cory’s parents, Steve and Donna. They have three other boys, Jay, Slater and Taj who have been cared for by their grand parents. Steve and Donna have never left Cory’s side.
The pneumonia turned out to be something more sinister, in the most basic terms, Cory had a germ cell tumour, which caused a blood disorder which caused a lymphoma. He has never really come out of hospital.
Cory was a very bright boy. An A student in every subject, an extremely talented soccer player and surfer…the oldest of four boys.
The last time I saw Cory was probably only a week or so before he got sick, he was playing chasey with his brothers in the car park after church, just mucking around waiting for their Mum to come outside.
How quickly things can change.
There’ll be a prayer service for Cory at 2 o’clock today at Saint Catherine’s of Siena.
