I am heartbroken for the loss of such a wonderful, sweet little boy. I have not been able to stop crying since Sunday's news. As a parent I can not even imagine the pain of losing a child.
One of my main concerns right now is that my best friend is faceing the pain and fear as a mother of a child with cancer. I want to be able to support her in any way I can. Next week is going to be a busy one with her trip to Houston to meet the new team of doctors that will be taking care of Brandon. A liver transplant is going to save his life. I have every faith that although it will not be an easy road ahead that it leads to a happy healthy recovery.
Raquel's family is facing a some difficult decisions in the coming weeks reguarding the treatment of her optic tumor.
I was thrilled to hear that Heather is going to be participating in the local relay for life cancer fund raiser. I know that with all the treatments that are being discovered that a cure is not that far away. We must do something to help stop this disease that takes the lives of so many loved ones.

Nothing is so painful than the loss of a child, and I have thought often how could I ever coupe if that ever happened to me.
I know that it is so hard to accept that the loss of a child could ever have a good reason behind it, but that is because we are human and can only see in our own little universe.
There are so many things that a single person or even a child can have an effect to. Just think of how many people will be thinking and praying for this child’s recovery. As bad as it is for the child, it could bring others not only closer together, but allows a way for others to talk to God who may have not been able to in the past.
God has a reason for everything that happens in our lives, and although it may not seem right at the time, every thing in life has a good reason for why it happened. To have faith in God is to accept how our lives will be taken care of, and that he could use us and others to effect the world in a way only God could understand.
Hi Ginger,
Wow! It's been too long since I checked in here...(today's June 19).
Thanks so much for being excited that I was going to be in the Relay for Life. I just wish it hadn't been rained out and I could have actually participated. But, we raised the money anyway! :)
I too hope for a rapid cure for cancer. At least what they knew 10 years ago was enough to keep my mom alive till now! For that I'm thankful. I'll keep praying for Brandon, even though by now he's had his transplant, and everyone else.
Love you,
heather
