Favorite Foto Friday #31 Spring Fever!

I'm running short on time this morning so I'm only going to share one picture today. This one was made a few years ago, before Brent got so sick. I LOVE to find pictures of our boys together... especially when they actually APPEAR to LIKE each other. LOL!! There is no doubt, even when fighting - these boys were CRAZY about each other.

For more fun on this "FFF" check out Sarah's Blog.

Kelley said...: Very handsome young men! I may check out FFF this week. I do love memes. BTW, do you mind if I post the same "Umbrella" video clip you did? My entire family is singing that song now and I would love to share it (I would give you the credit for directing me there). Have a great weekend!

My boys are the same way . . . they are quick to argue but oh so quick to defend each other, too! :)

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.
