I am really enjoying reading yours!<BR/><BR/>You asked what happened with my family? Well, in 2000, my mom (aka best friend) died at the age of 68 from breast cancer treatment. She caught her cancer very early on and had been given her an excellent prognosis. However, when she was given the chemo drug,Taxol, she ended up in the hospital for 21 days where she died.<BR/><BR/>In 2002, my 47 year old brother was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. He had his entire stomach removed and all of his lymph nodes were found to have cancer in them. He passed away 8 months later.<BR/><BR/>Then, in 2006, my dad suffered a major stroke and passed away. He, too, had been diagnosed with cancer (prostate, bladder, and skin). He only underwent surgery and never had to have any chemo or radiation. <BR/><BR/>So, as you can see, I've been deeply touched by cancer and the loss of those I love dearly. I've been told there is nothing like losing a child...my dad could surely have attested to that! My heart goes out to you, but I am so encouraged by your strength and faith.<BR/><BR/>Hope you'll drop by for a visit, again, soon!! Have a blessed day!!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114076859455081016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168613870048508403.post-70944812613080063652008-10-30T10:52:00.000-05:002008-10-30T10:52:00.000-05:00Oh Tonya, my eyes are all welled up.

I am honored to have met you and only wish I could have known him. Some day! LOVE YOU!!

You seem like an amazing person and I'm happy that it helped you to talk about Brent. Like Ashley said, thank you for sharing your story with us and I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to meet him. The silver lining in this, is that you will see him again someday! And isn't it so cool that you know and believe in Jesus and that we can say that?! I love it!

I was sharing with a friend about how Brent would be singing along to Casting Crowns in the backseat - your family got me hooked on Casting Crowns! :) I am so sure that that precious boy has such a special place in Heaven - Gob Bless you all thru this week!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134840622154985242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168613870048508403.post-54924981054949411372008-10-30T06:13:00.000-05:002008-10-30T06:13:00.000-05:00I know how it feels to want to talk about someone ...I know how it feels to want to talk about someone you've lost.

Oh, well...you'll have plenty for those boys of yours!<BR/><BR/>Brent's birthday was such a blessed day for me. I thought about him, you, Link, and the boys all day long...I prayed for you...praised God for giving your family peace and comfort in the midst of your grief. I know it's still difficult and you will always miss Brent greatly...what I admire is your ability to press on. You do it with such grace and such joy!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being such a great inspiration. :o)<BR/><BR/>Love you...Beth E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04996230415386423039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168613870048508403.post-3228481231669158572008-10-29T21:43:00.000-05:002008-10-29T21:43:00.000-05:00i am so glad that it helps to talk about your swee...i am so glad that it helps to talk about your sweet boy. it is just a testimony to the Lord everytime you share. thanks for letting us be a part of your life and thanks for giving those of us that didn't have a chance to know him while he was here have a chance to know him now...Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042187324099834505noreply@blogger.com
