It's Arlene, John and...Hi Cindy,Lou & Gavin<br />It's Arlene, John and Catherine. Your friendly neighbors from around the corner in the highlands. We are not entirely moved in yet, but hopefully within the next few weeks...the closing is not far off. Our daughter ( who is 11 years old )brought it up to us that she would love to meet Gavin and perhaps have a game of tag or hide and seek, soccer, a catch and /or anything else Gavin would like to play anytime. She feels close to Gavin, thinks he is a beautiful boy and would love to maybe stop by and just play together. Catherine has no real family and also has an older sibling in heaven. Catherine is an "old soul" who achieves straight A's in school, loves to teach and adores reading. She does have quite the vocabulary to back that up :) Catherine feels the need to somehow help and thinks that playing with Gavin would be a nice change of pace and maybe even enviornment for him at HIS TIME OF NEED. Catherine has lost so many friends and especially both her Grandmas so very recently to cancer. Her Daddy had a three year battle with a rare form of cancer as well, and we are over the moon to be able to say that John, after his own battle at Sloan and at times following in his mom's footsteps during treatment there, is a cancer survivor today, thank God. So Catherine asked me to ask you if she could perhaps play with Gavin sometime soon, or later. Catherine is a joyful happy hearted girl who loves to laugh and I think might be therapudic to Gavin, not to mention the benifits that she would delight in knowing that life can be happy again and also in the feeling that the joy of laughter from his belly would bring. I hope that you understand that Catherine's intentions are that of wanting to nurture and play with Gavin as kids, and feeling that happy sence of freedom that children need, even when life is a bit too heavy.<br />You have our info in the care package we left for you all on your doorstep last sunday. We hope to hear from you, but we also respect your own time of greif and will be right around the corner when you may want to have a visit or a fun game of soccer :).

He is such a strong little man and his gorgeous smile just magical x I am a mother of 3 beautiful children (now adults)and a grandmother of two. Thank you for reminding me to stop, enjoy and appreciate the precious time I have with each and every one of them. This weekend I will be taking my grandaughters out to get as extremely dirty as possible...in a very fun way :) With Love I thank you both and Ty, you really are Super!

If you do lose Ty, you needn't worry about your sadness clouding the experiences you have with Gavin...I'm sure you'll discover an enormous love growing out of that sadness, a love inspired by Ty--by his strength and his courage--a love that will add color and joy to every moment you spend with Gavin. I'm praying every day for a miracle for your beautiful boy. God's blessings to all of you.

I will pray for Ty - your beautiful boy. My son has just turned 5 too and I cannot imagine what you are going through. My son - David - is also the love of my life. I live in Australia and my name is Margaret. I will continue to read your blog and I'm praying for a miracle - there is no distance in prayer. God Bless.

What I want you to know, Cindy and Lou, is that there are those of us who have taken our grief and anger, and have decided to take it straight to the top and tell them what we think of the underfunding of research and the lack of pediatric oncology drugs. I will be going to DC next week to an advocate training to learn how to advocate for these children's issues on Capitol Hill. I made my first trip over the summer to speak for our children and all children with cancer, and I joined the other moms and dads in this terrible club that we all belong to, most if whom had been there at least a dozen times. I will not stand idly by and allow our children to die in vain, and I am fighting so that there will be fewer moms and dads joining our disgusting club, that of those that have lost a child to cancer!Lisa Sachenhttp://www.savannahsorganicranch.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797283590776177236.post-64477560405490675032012-10-04T00:10:11.790-04:002012-10-04T00:10:11.790-04:00happy birthday to you ~~happy birthday to you~~ ha...happy birthday to you ~~happy birthday to you~~ happy birthday to Ty happy birthday to u~~!

I look at my two boys and I can't imagine having to make those kinds of decisions. There's a feeling of helplessness which is so frustrating. There are so many of us who would do SOMETHING to help, if we just knew WHAT to do! Praying for a miracle, and for you all to find the strength to get you through this.

It saddens me so much however, that you are having to decide what to do with the beautiful biological part of your precious child. I posted before about losing my brother, he was about 20 years older than me and absolutely my bestest friend ever! We only had 6 weeks from the time he got sick until he died (AIDS) so I crammed alot of <br />love into that time! Honestly, I am no stranger to grief..I have lost every single person on my mothers <br />side of the family, my brother, my mom, and my <br />sons father who passed away the week before we <br />were to be married. I'm not telling you this for pity, but because I have been forced to accept death differently than normal people I guess? I pray for a miracle for Ty with every once of my being, but if that miracle doesn't come, I wanted to reassure you about the physical aspects. When the last breath is taken you will completely understand that what is left behind is a shell...a vehicle. I know from experience that you will still feel Ty all around you, embracing you. You will know that his beautiful little spirit will never leave you. You will feel him as the sun kisses your face and the breeze caresses your cheek. It's doesn't make the pain and sorrow go away, nothing does that...but it will bring you amazing calm and a sense of peace that I can't describe with words. <br />I am so sorry Cindy. No one should have to live this nightmare that is your reality. I hope that my experience will help you but at the very least, make your nightmares about burning go away. <br />Always praying and sending love from Sacramento<br />TavelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
