Help This Mom To See

MOMS SEE

the beauty in dandelion bouquets
and know the importance of declaring each and every drawing
a work of art

MOMS FIND

the magic in blankets that become tents
in a backyard adventure
And stories that fall upon
sleepy little ears.

MOMS KNOW

the fun of jumping on bed
and hanging upside down,
and giggles that just won't quit

MOMS ARE THE GREATEST

especially ones who have the gift of seeing life
through the eyes of her young ill son.

So please, to all my readers, help this current mom see, all the support and prayers that surround her and her family.
You'll find mom embracing her son, with dads arms wrapped tightly around her, as they walk through this recent illness known to many as leukemia.

He was diagnosed in June, a simple visit to the doctor due to loose stools, has completely turned their life around.

Remember to embrace your own children.
It could be you that needs the reassurance that your own child will soon be well.

Remember to love your children.
Take advantage of every moment when they come begging for your attention.

Yet, his smiles still remain.

Welcome to Crustybeef~
Luke is a little boy that is growing up across the street from my sister. She was the one that informed me of the news that young Luke has AML. (acute myelogenous Leukemia)
There is a guest book that you are able to sign.
They are in need of many many prayers.

Oh man, I clicked your link and saw the picture of Luke and it hit home. He is just a baby! That is terrible and he and the family are in my thoughts. I hope you are well Crusty and we all need to thank our lucky stars for our continued good health!

Portia,
I agree, caringbridges seems like a fabulous site. I'll have to send some prayers to your Joshua!!

Anon-you're so very very true.

Andrew-that's the hardest for me, is that this little guy is so young, yet he doesn't stop smiling.

Thank you to all for the kind words!:)
Always,
Crusty~
