It'll always hurt. My stepdad has a slow growing skin cancer. But aside from fundraising and telling anyone who will listen, I don't know what to do. I wish there were more I could do than send a check and give my condolences to all who need them, and share stories on social media. Maybe volunteering at the local children's hospital is in my future.

It was beautiful. Yo...I remember your date with Ty. It was beautiful. You explained to him that it is when a boy is on the date with the girl he likes. I was so sad that this was the last time Ty went on the date with you. I am pissed that he will never go on a real date. I am ashamed because after reading a piece by Erin Santos I could apply every word to myself. Yes I read, yes I share on Facebook, yes I love Ty, I prayed and still do for him and you, yes I wear a bracellet and Tshirts, yes I talk to people about him. I have his picture on my work computer, in my phone, on my wall. But at the same time, I am ashamed, because I do live a normal life, read about celebrities, go to gym, and sometimes I know that I really do NOTHING. Is it because I am also afraid of the word CANCER, I am scared to be too involved because I am busy and because I am trully don't want to ever ever ever really know the word CANCER. I am profoundly ashamed and sorry. September is almost gone. My friend was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and I am trully feeling so sad for her, but she is a grown up, she can express her fears, she can talk to people, she has better drugs, she has support, she knows why she will be doing the treatments. But did Ty know? Did he understand why he is suffering and hurt? Did he understand why he can't walk, or play anymore. Why he can't watch TV anymore? <br />I am ashamed because I really don't do enough. I have like many people tons of ideas but not enough money or time. Does anyone relate to that? But that should't be an excuse right? But I will make a big fat promise to myself to do more, to act, not just be aware. Thank you for puttimg me to shame. Sometimes we need a good kick to wake up and ACT. Thank you Cindy for kindly sharing it with us. I am forever grateful to letting me become a slightly better person. <br />I miss you badly and daily baby boy :((tatiana kidanovhttp://www.facebook.com/tatiana.kidanovanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797283590776177236.post-77876082915954792062013-09-16T20:21:13.995-04:002013-09-16T20:21:13.995-04:00I took action too!

I am so, so sorry. I wanted to let you know we saw Ty's picture up at the register at DiCicco's and of course, donated. However there was a table of women outside asking for breast cancer awareness donations. I politely told them September is childhood cancer awareness month, October is their month, and my money goes to pediatric cancer. I have to admit I was a little annoyed, however I, as a mom, would give up my life for my children at any moment. I'll always make childhood cancer my charity.

I just made a purchase from your pret-TY foundation. I decided to take action instead of just being aware! I share your blogs on facebook and I am amazed at how few "likes" or shares I get, but when I share a joke or cartoon I get many! I keep on sharing anyway!<br />I will take as much action as I can to help in whatever way I can!

We need to stop all the chemicals in our environment, and all the genetically modified foods that our children are eating. Unfortunately, most people don't realize that they are feeding their kids genetically modified foods at every meal. I feel that these factors are what is causing pediatric cancer. (Baby formula contains GMOs) Even though we have Horrible treatments today that are extenting lives by a few months or years, we have much More childhood cancer than in the past! We are CAUSING cancer today! Also, sugar and candy feeds cancer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797283590776177236.post-49710954240064066292013-09-16T06:15:34.854-04:002013-09-16T06:15:34.854-04:00This broke my heart the first time I read it.
