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.

End of Chemo Party Tonight / A Loss

It has been an emotionally filled day and Rebekah and all of us are very much looking forward to Rebekah's end of chemo party tonight even if it will be a bit subdued.


Words are difficult. While we are happy for where we are, it is very difficult to rejoice when others are having so much sorrow. Another chemo friend passed today and our hearts and prayers are with her family. For the tear in our eye and the little buttefly:

In Loving Memory


The beautiful white rose that has touched so many of us in so many ways is by and used with permission from Australian photographer Lisa Hocking Please see her blog and thank her for its use.

This morning I was still troubled by the White Rose. I knew what it meant the last time you showed it. Then I spotted the hand on "in loving memory",clicked and then saw the beautiful butterfly girl. I hate to assume, but I guess you were shareing her passing with us? I am sorry for this loss for you and all of those around her. May the Lord share in your grief and rejoice at her "coming home". Love,Teresa

I am sorry for not being more clear and making some assumptions about what would be understood.

A white rose here signifies the loss of another dear chemo kiddo. As was the case here, it might be without details when our hearts are troubled because we know there has been a loss but the details are not yet available. As details become available to be shared we will. Much depends on the wishes of the family.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your chemo friend. She has gone home and free of pain. I pray for those who loved her.

Rebekah should have fun tonight and celebrate life!

I went back and read about the ALS in your family and I am sorry for your familie's losses. There is always hope, even with ALS. I just hit 16yrs and still drive. My entry on the power of mind and words might help to ease your fear's.

Celebrate life!
