Hello Tonya! It's been a long time! I hope you're doing well.
This is just about the cutest little video I've seen in a while. When my son was little he'd sing with his grandma all the time....songs like this. We have him singing a lot on cassette tapes.
Wow! It was so nice to see two posts from you in such a short time. Hehehee! You sound refreshed and happy. Maybe its little Allie Grace helping you along. I know so many "girls" that want to see the movie Fireproof. Let me know how you like it...ok? Hugs to you and I really enjoyed seeing two posts from you!

Our Sweet Brent (at 11)

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.
7I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. 8I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.

Oh, is he just the cutest little thing or WHAT????
What a awesome privilege and responsibilty we have to shape and mold the minds of our children! (Scary huh?)
Tonya, when I think of what radical young man Brent was for the Lord, it just amazes me.
That child could of ruled a NATION with his wisdom, passion and purity. (He may be doing that as I write this letter, who knows!!)
Anyhow, this was fun, thanks!!! I almost did a post today.
