~Favorite Foto Friday~

Well, I almost missed out on this one... LOL! (It's ALMOST Saturday NOW) =-) The picture I'm going to share with you is one of my favorites. I'd like to share one of all three of our boys together, but I'm on the wrong computer so I can't. Instead I'll share one from one of our little summer trips. The boys and I, along with my Mom and my friend Joni all went to Gulf Shores, Alabama. We had SO MUCH FUN! The boys were IN AWE of the beach!!!!

Okay... I'm outta here! LOL!! Night, My Friends!

Just getting back to blogland. I've been missing you, BIG-TIME!

I also love this picture. I'm glad you shared it. You know, no matter if Brent was in the picture, "physically" or not, he'll always be in your son's hearts.

He is a part of who they are, and what they will become. What a beautiful "GODLY example" he set for his younger brothers...(and all of us as well).

It won't be long and we will all be together, worshipping the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Blessings to you my friend,

Susan

Sarah said...: Thanks for stopping by my blog this evening! I truly appreciate your wisdom about homeschooling. Whatever our decision is in the future, I know that I am "home" schooling my little 16-month old, Caleb, as we read together, bake, and play outside. I LOVE watching him learn and grow.

FYI...your boys are VERY handsome!

Until that great reunion, you and your family are always in my prayers.

Brent's Story...

Our son Brent suddenly started to complain with back pain in the fall of 2004. He was playing flag football with the town league and loved to roughhouse with his two younger brothers so the pain was dismissed at first. After having him tested for kidney and bladder infections and finding him clear we finally asked for an MRI of his back. A couple of weeks later (the very day of the MRI) we received a phone call from his doctor saying that a tumor was found in his pelvic area. We were asked how quickly we could get him to St. Jude Children's Hospital - we left IMMEDIATELY. Later that same week we got the diagnosis. It was one that we would NEVER, EVER forget. It was Stage IV Neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system. His chances of survival when diagnosed were 1/4 - 1/3. When he relapsed we were reminded there was NO CURE. There was basically no hope of survival... none outside the HOPE we had in JESUS.

Brent fought long and hard. He was a Christian and LOVED his SAVIOR. He NEVER asked "why" or complained. He took each day as it was - a gift from GOD. Brent went HOME to be with the LORD on January 2, 2007. He was 11 years old. If I've EVER had a "hero" in this world.... it would be him.
