My husband wonders why I have used a whole box of Kleenex? Anyway, I will be out of town for the Mar 17th blood drive, but made an appointment for this Wednesday. I can't wait to decorate a fishy for sweet Gideon. I wish I could do more. I really want to do more. Amanda, you are an inspiration to those of us who end up falling apart when life throws a curve. Your boys and husband are blessed to have you. And you them. Love, Peace, Prayers, and Thoughts will be coming from me. PS...so will a little fishy! :)Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686489679814886752.post-45164614394202431892011-02-26T13:17:22.940-05:002011-02-26T13:17:22.940-05:00I recently met your sister, Annie, while visiting ...I recently met your sister, Annie, while visiting my son in Kalamazoo. She was telling me about her nephew, Gideon, and sent me the link to your blog. After reading everything you have written, quite beautifully, I must say, I have fallen in love with your family and the strong faith you possess. I would love to add Gideon to the prayer chain at my church, with your approval. I have not been able to give blood in the past because I travelled in England during the "Mad Cow" disease scare. I think that enough time has passed and they may now accept my blood. I will be donating soon. I am a "needle phobic" but after reading about Gideon's strength...well, I am quite ashamed of myself! Please know that I am praying daily for Gideon, his amazing brother, Brody, and your entire family.<br /><br />God's continued blessings to your family,<br />Marla<br /><br />P.S. My father was born and raised in the U.P., Wakefield to be exact. I understand your love of the U.P.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125497428749721079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686489679814886752.post-62460756692459275402011-02-25T10:23:44.574-05:002011-02-25T10:23:44.574-05:00I adore the pix of Brody holding Gideon.

Many, many blessings to each one of you.

Brody is learning this love.

I never told my mom this, but I would leave the house for longest time, not because of the limited mobility, but because I didn't want others to see my bald head. I felt like they would judge. I learned quickly that it's not that big of a deal if you wear your bald head with pride. Always tell Gideon that he is not alone in this battle, there are other's that are hoping, praying, and willing to walk beside him through this all.PshPenguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654665883234389317noreply@blogger.com
