Washington D.C., Mar 11, 2011 / 05:45 am (CNA).- Family and friends of a two-year-old boy suffering from severe cancer are seeking a miracle through the intercession of Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta. They believe the child has seen an apparition of her and two angels.
Joseph “JoeJoe” Wahlin is the seventh child of Chad and Kim Wahlin, who are stationed at the U.S. naval base in Naples. On March 2 doctors discovered that the toddler has category four cancer.
“Without a miracle, and barring a misdiagnosis, he may not have long to live,” reported Fr. Mark Withoos, a friend of the boy’s parents.
But the parents have seen signs for hope.
Chad Wahlin told Fr. Withoos that one afternoon he was lying in bed with his two-and-a-half year-old son.
“Joe looked past the foot of the bed and told me ‘Mommy's grandma is there’,” the father said. The boy had only seen photos of the woman.
“Kim's grandmother looked exactly like Mother Teresa,” Wahlin wrote.
Joseph also said he saw “angels” at his hospital room in Naples.
His father had been crying at his sleeping son’s bedside when Joseph awoke and asked him why he was crying.
“Don’t you see the two angels standing next to the bed? They are bewdiful,” the boy said.
He told his father the angels said to him they would be back.
