Stand up to Cancer - Part 2

Did you watch? Did you? I cried off and on through the whole thing... but especially through this part... All Julian wanted was to be 5. Cancer sucks.

Didn't see the show. Yes, cancer sucks. How many Julians have you known? How many kids who just want to be kids? If hate could kill it, cancer would be long gone.

Wow, crying like a baby and it's ok. That was truly beautiful and sad at the same time. I am going to put it on my blog and I have been working on some things to try to give back to Cancer Research. I am so moved by little Kennedy and the children you have put on your page, my heart feels more passionate than ever.

I was on the verge of tears the entire show. Cancer has touched my life in many ways. But when Forrest read Myriam Avery, I just cried.

I dropped your name in today's post regarding positive reinforcement. Hope that's ok.

Love you and all the K's (Frank too.)

I cried through the whole show!
A year ago, for me, childhood cancer was abstract. Then, a good friend's 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago. Watching her go through treatment has been hard. She still has a year and a half to go before she is "done" with treatment. She is the bravest, most forgiving kid!
I hate that she has to be!

Billy just wanted to be 16. He battled cancer for 10 years. My sister was the family baby sitter. She took him to treatments and held his head when he was sick. My mom worked at his middle school. She met his bus every day to help him with his oxygen tank. She followed him from classroom to classroom. We wer all family. All he wanted was to turn 16 and drive a car. Cancer took him at 15 years, 11 months. Cancer sucks.

WOW, a real tear jerker. My Dad has survived three separate boats with cancer.

I missed this because I had to work : ( But Abigael, my 6 yr old, and I have been watching the clips we find on the net of it. We don't have cancer, but it has touched my life painfully so twice. We do what we can to raise money for cancer research, even if it's a small amount. My heart breaks every time I hear these things. Cancer SUCKS.
