Congratulations, Angela!

I'd like to THANK everyone that participated in my giveaway! Man, it really stinks that I can't give something to EVERYONE! On THAT note.. I still have another one coming sometime again in the future. ☺

Now, I'm off to congratulate Angela in person. (Well, as "in person" as one can do over the internet.. HAHA!) THANKS again for entering!

Have a WONDERFUL day!
Love,

I've not lost any children in my life, but I've been close to friends who have.....I would expect you to NEVER forget...but God uses it to shape you, mold you, to make you more like Him, and to use you in soothing others who grieve. take care,

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.
