This is a public "diary" of a family whose little girl started a battle with inoperable cancer in April 2005. In December 2007 our house burned down. And in September 2009 Mommy was diagnosed with a terminal disease (a genetic form of ALS) that took her to Heaven in July, 2011, leaving Daddy and two young girls to make it on their own. Over several years of ups and downs, you will get into our hearts, minds and souls as we share joys and sorrows. It can sometimes be very difficult to read. We hope it is also uplifting. Please find joy in what you read here.

Saturday Afternoon at Camp

Well we made it and the night went pretty well. There are 40-60 families here with many children Rebekah's age.

She is having a really awesome time playing games and running with other kids. She was able to play the bean bag toss; a variation of musical chairs where the kids walked around a big circle with colored circles on ground to stand on and the color you were on when the music stopped corresponded to getting a prize; running under a parachute, etc. She received a bunch of prizes including a squirt gun and bubbles! A lot of the time she is enjoying riding around in her bicycle trailer while daddy gets tired out pulling her.

This evening we will be making home-made donuts and all the kids get to eat them warm, topping them however the desire with sprinkles and frosting. That is usually a big hit.

It has been a nice break from being locked up at home or in the hospital. Daddy, however, has had a hard time that was unexpected. I have been reduced to tears several times watching her have so much fun but being so afraid that she may never be able to do this again and may not even be here next year. It is hard...
