Emma,
You inspired me that girls can do anything! I'm twelve yrs old & in the sixth grade. I recently lost a grandma to lung cancer and I ran upon ur story. You are a brave girl and such a fighter that ur the ultimate role model that life does go on! Stay well.. (:

- Purchase Create-A-Pepper T-shirts that can be customized with permanent marker.

- Buy a customized Create-A-Pepper key that can be cut for use at home or the office.

- Eat at Chili’s on Monday, Sept. 29, when Chili’s will donate 100 percent of profits from participating restaurant sales to St. Jude.

but not "Tick Tock,"
call the Hickory Dickory Doc

And Happy belated birthday

Hip hop, hippety hop
My “Easter Bunny” went off to the shop,
He bought me an egg and lots of chocs
And packed them into a cardboard box.
Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string
It really was such a pretty thing.
Disaster struck when I opened the door-
He slid across the parquet floor,
He went round the corner and past the stairs
And finished up in a pile of chairs.
Of the Easter goodies not a trace,
he’d thrown them into my fireplace!
So a warning before you go opening doors
Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!

Happy Easter

With lots of love,

Everyone at Post Pals

Emma, I'm so sorry I missed signing in on your birthday!! I have had some things going on that have kept me from the computer, but now that I've gotten a chance, your site is one of the first ones I clicked on!!
My boys have pogo sticks-but, they are 12 and 10. Be careful on it-I'll be looking for updates on how many times you can pogo!!
Speaking of updates..how was the bloodwork?
I hope you are enjoying the early part of the summer, and probably are keeping your parents busy pogo counting..let us know how it's going!!
Have a great day!!

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS

God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Lord, bless those we love this Christmas Day,be they near or far away Bless those good friends who mean so much and those with whom we're out of touch. We bring them all to You in prayer, and ask You to keep them in Your care.

Please know that you are thought of, in a very special way, not just this beautiful season but every day.

Emma - you are a doll! Reading your journal makes me smile because I could have written most of it about Sarah Anne. I guess most little girls are about the same.
And Dylan is growing up too quickly - Just like my Emma Grace and baby Jonah. And our daddy is in school too.
We just love your family & pray for you often!

Hello, i was watching a couple of new records being set at the Olympics today, so thought i would look up some slightly stranger ones instead of some jokes.

Here's a couple;

Most spoons balanced on the face
Tim Johnston (USA) (b. 1 January 1992), was able to balance on his face (one on each ear, two on each cheek, three on his chin, two on his lips, one on his nose and three on his forehead) and balance them for 30 seconds at on May 28, 2004.

British pub landlord Garry Turner clipped 153 ordinary wooden clothes pegs on his face at the WH Smith bookshop in York, Yorkshire, UK, on September 28, 2002

I wish there was a half day available down here, but she just finished and I am so proud! We dealt, but I took her out a few days early when I could tell she was missing me too-no harm done-going into 1st grade!
Ashton finished chemo in March 2003. I am glad everything is going well. oh by the way, my yourgest(Haley-4.5yrs.old)just went through a week of fever (100-103.4) with NO symptoms- I completely freaked out all week and prayed for anything except the obvious-strep,ear infection,UTI,something!!!) i hope Ashton does not get this virus(as the doc said it was after work and urinalysis) b/c i will really need some therapy(haha) then!-Love, Lori

I hope Dylan's surgery went well. Our son had to go the tubes/adenoids/tonsillectomy route a few years back as well. Did anyone warn you how NASTY their breath would be after the surgery??? Let's just say I wasn't prepared and was searching the bedroom for a dead animal that first morning. :)

Well, I hope your summer is off to a wonderful start, and we'll check in again with Emma soon. Take care!

Hi Emma!! Sorry, we've had a CRAZY house here lately and I didn't make it onto the computer to wish you a happy birthday!!:( I have three boys and lately they've been...well, you know, you have a brother...they've been quite a handful! But, Happy Late Birthday!!
I am so glad to hear that your checkups have gone so well, and that you feel so good!I'll be praying for your brother's ears to feel better. God helped you when you weren't feeling so good, huh? And, we know He can help your brother, right? I'll get praying on that!!
I check on your site everytime I come onto the computer, but don't always get to sign your guestbook because I'll hear a "CRASH" in the other room, and I bet you can guess the rest, can't you? They never give me enough time to finish up!
I will continue to keep you in my prayers, Emma, you are a little miracle in a Barbie Jeep!!:)

Hi Emma,
I am a friend of Kendrie's and thought I would come say hello. Sure looks like you have had a lot of excitement lately...Losing your teeth, Riding a bike without training wheels, Easter goodies!! I love your beautiful red hair. I'm just a little partial to red hair since I have red hair too. :) I am so glad that you are done with treatment and I pray that you will continue to do well. God Bless.

Hi Emma! Pepper in your hair?!? Oh no!! One time when I was younger, my friends and I decided it would be a funny prank to put pepper in the coffee pot on a youth group overnight. I think we were mad at our leaders for some reason - needless to say - we got in a bit of trouble for that one! :)
Glad to hear about the great counts! Have fun playing soccer!! My 10 year old niece plays softball - and the bench is the place to be...each of the girls has a box to keep their gear (helmet, gloves, waterbottle) in - that they have decorated - and of course there are the cheers, oh the cheers. That's why the bench is the place to be - so you can sit and do these silly cheers! :) Fun times!!

Have a great week! God bless and *warm hugs*

Holy cow! Showered, de-peppered, dried, dressed, and at school in less than 45 minutes?!?! You guys were mooooving! I don't blame Emma for holding a grudge, although it definitely makes the "somthing to laugh about when they are older" category!

Yep, our oldest daughter Brayden plays soccer, and it's ALL about the break! She's the only kid I know who prefers sitting on the bench, because then she can play with her water bottle and talk to her teammates, as opposed to actually having to run after the ball. I hope Emma's soccer career is a little more successful! :)

Too, too funny!!! I am still laughing about the pepper...poor Emma though!! I have 3 boys, so that is not uncommon to me, but ours was the pepper shaker at a restaurant, and the waiter starts to take our order, my little one shakes it, and the waiter can't see nor breathe!! I'm sure we got some "extras" in our food that day! So, your story is familiar to me!! But, I'm sure that Emma will remember this one for a LONG time!! Glad you still got to school on time!! That was impressive!!

I will certainly keep their health in my prayers...thank God for the wonderful blood results!! Those ears are doing poor Dylan in everytime, huh?

Have a great, hopefully cough free week!!

Dear Emma, hi! Congratulations on the wonderful grades you received at school -- you are obviously doing a better job listening to your teachers than I ever did! And congratulations on losing your teeth, too (soon, anyway) My 5-yr old son lost his top two front teeth a while back and the only thing that slows him down now is corn on the cob and apples.

I'll be thinking of you on March 1st, and checking back to see how the appointment goes. We will be praying for you in the meantime and hope you continue to do so fabulously!

Have a great weekend!

Hi Emma!

You look so cute going to school. I love that picture. I asume that you are going to be seven on your birthday. Well my daughter Becca will be seven on April 27. She loves going to school, but hates taking the bus. Her best buds sister Julianna Banana is in the hospital right now and he has had to come to our house after school. So we have to pick them up and she thinks that it's the greatest thing. Can't wait to hear the complaints next week. When it is back the regular schedule. It's inspiring to hear that you have made it through what Julianna's going throught right now.
Keep smiling and have lots of fun at school.

Hi, Tammy, Emma and the whole Hall family! Tammy, thanks for the nice words regarding Kendrie and the "bald head" comment. It was the first time I've seen her upset by it and of course, got upset myself. How can I teach my children to avoid violence when all I wanted to do was smack those kids right up side the head?!?!?! :)

I hope the knee continues to improve and the next marathon is a success. He can "only" go 10 miles?? I can barely go 10 miles driving a stick shift before my knee gives out.

Anyway, have a wonderful weekend. Sending warm wishes your way from Georgia!

Hi Emma and the entire Hall family! I've got to tell you, the story about the kids eating carrots; one kid putting them back in the bag, one kid checking them for teeth marks -- that is funny! I don't think my kids have ever eaten carrots for a snack in their life. Apples, maybe a banana or two if I'm really lucky. Usually they're clamoring for a bag of cheetos or some other such healthy treat. :)

Hope you guys are all having a great weekend, and take care!

That Christmas picture on his lap is toooooo funny! Thanks for stopping by Kendrie's website and letting me know I'm not the only mom around who didn't have a picture-perfect holiday (good thing we can all laugh about it!) take care!

Heya Emma and Family :-)

I'm happy to hear that things turned around for you and you were able to take part in your Christmas Program earlier this week!

I just wanted to stop by and thank you for all your notes of encouragement in my guestbook over these past few months since I was diagnosed, I sure appreciate it!

From my fruit basket to yours, have a very merry Christmas and all the happiness you can handle in 2004!

Luv,

So thrilled to hear that Emma got to attend her program!! All the schools are getting hit with the bugs...I know in my son's class, they are lysol wiping everything down throughout the day to try and stop it from spreading.

Just wanted you to know I'm still keeping Emma in my prayers...want her laughing, playing, enjoying being a little girl w/o a moments worry about the c-word. God is handling that, and there are no more capable hands than His.

Have a Merry Christmas!!

Hi Bug, I just went to WWW.Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation and put a gold ribbon on the tree in your honor!You donate a couple of dollars and your name is added to the tree on a gold ribbon!And maybe my little donation will help find the cure! It makes me so sad to see all the names of children with cancer or that had it. People have asked me why I thought God "let" children get sick and you know what? I don't know. All I do know is this isn't heaven!And I have searched the Bible over and over and I can't find anywhere that says it will be a "rose garden" here....but thru all of this you have showed us how to keep the faith...and when I look into your beautiful blue eyes I can see Gods light shining thru. And when you sing "this little "item" mine I'm gonna let it shine" I can really see it! You are my joy in this life and I love you 10 billion bunches Bug! See ya later

Hi friends, it is so great to read such happy journal entries. And those precious little healthy looking faces in the pumpkin patch make my heart warm with thankfulness. Dylan is growing up too fast. And Emma is just beautiful. We are thankful for all of God's blessings too. And thankful for the friends we've made near & far. We are truly so blessed!

May God bless you with Thanksgiving days every day of the year. We're praying for Emma's continued good health!

Hi Ladybug! I was just sitting here thinking about all the things I have to do to get ready for Thanksgiving and then I started thinking about how much we have to be thankfull for.The list is soooooo long I don't even know where to start, but if I had to tell The Lord (which I do all the time) what I am most thankful it would be how healthy you all are this year.... of course you most of all. You have come so far these past 14 mo. off chemo. When I look back at your Mommys journal it breaks my heart to remember what you went thru.... your Mommy and Daddy too. But we are all together and well (except Dylans "fuggies") and we all have so much! I have my 3 babies and I am soooooo greatful for that. I love you all so much! And so does Papa! I hope everyone who reads this site has a blessed Holiday season. It is going to be so much fun this year with Dylan really getting into it.....and I mean "really getting into it!"I love you Bug 10 billion bunches! See you later!

Families like yours have such a testimony...God has certainly blessed you.I share your joy in being thankful that Emma is conquering this cancer beast...thank you for allowing us to get to know her through caringbridge.
You all are a terrific family-have a tremendous Thanksgiving!!

Well Hello there Ladybug! You where the cutest unicorn on the whole ark! And Dylan was the cutest skunk (that quacked) My Jacob was the greatest horse too! You all looked so precious! It sure was funny yesterday when you wanted me to see your loose tooth and I said "What tooth baby? There is nothing there!" You looked so surprised...I bet it got stuck in the apple you where eating at school! Well we will write the tooth fairy a note and explain what happened....I'm sure she will understand and still leave some money! (I can gaurantee it)I am so excited to hear how you and my Jacob liked the circus today! See you later! Love you 10 billion bunches!

Hi Emily,

Thank you for visiting my web page and leaving the kind and encouraging messages in my guestbook...us pickle and macaroni girls gotta stick together!
It was nice to visit your web page, too, and I'm really happy to hear that you're sick blood treatment is behind you! That's very encouraging for someone like me who's just getting started. As of today, I am offially done my awful Induction phase...yahoooie!!! Kinda sucked for my dad today though, because I had a very rough clinic day today and he's not allowed to come because he's got a head cold. My Nonna went for him instead...and if you think I'm bad with needles, you should see her (I hope she survives MY bone marrow today). Anyways, I'm off steroids today and I've decided to go on a diet. I went from 32 lbs to almost 40, and nothing fits me (now I know why dad always wears sweat pants).

Anyways Emma, take care and keep in touch!

Hi LadyBug! Did we have a great weekend or what? the farm and wagon ride, the High School Bands we went to listen to, then Yankee Peddler! After just going to Yankee Peddler Papa had to go to bed early!!! We can hardly keep up with you anymore! You forgot to take your ear piercing whistle that Papa bought you at Yankee Peddler ( What where you thinking??????????) It is so good to see you run and jump and play and feel good! You walked your little legs off this weekend and never once complained! Just ran somemore!! Praise God! I love you ladybug ! Billion Bunches!!!

You look so smart going off to school!! I love your uniform. I am glad you are feeling so good, because I know that you look good from all the nice pictures your Mom put on your web page. My son Matthew is feeling good too, but he can't go back to school just yet. He doesn't mind too much though...gives him more time to ride his bike and scooter! Have fun at school!!!

Yeah!Glad to see Emma's blood draw went smoothly...so happy to hear that!! Also happy to hear about the fundraising...I agree and have said in so many guestbooks that I feel that not only is it important to pray for the children and the families fighting cancer, we need to come together to find a cure so that no other parents have to face the cancer nightmare.
I will visit your coffee site..we are big coffee fans here!!
So terrific to see Emma healthy and attending kindergarten-she looks adorable...Praise God for His goodness to you!! It's so sad to see how many caringbridge parents are grieving because they couldn't experience that this year..truly makes the need to find a cure important.

Well Hi there Bug! School is going wonderfully ... you keep saying you have been raising your hand in class... I would love to be a fly on the wall and watch whats going on! What kind of questions you little ones ask....You are so precious! I thought it was sweet when Dyllan had to run back in class and hug you one more time! He would stay with you if they would let him.... if you are doing it he wants to do it too! Whatever "it " is....... you are such a good big sister! I love you 10 billion bunches baby! See you later!

Hope that someone comes and takes that skunk away from your jama's house soon...that's a real stinky situation, huh?:)
Thinking of you and praying as always-especially that this week's blood draw goes much smoother.

What a wonderful thing..going to Kindergarten!! I know that when my oldest boy went, not only did I follow the bus, but the days I didn't, my mom secretly did!! It's hard letting that first one go!! And, it seems that with a lunchbox, it means you are going full day kindergarten,huh? My boys only went half day. So, you're jumping in head first-how fun!!
Glad to hear you're feeling so well and just enjoying being a kid...that's exactly the way it should be...Praise God!!

Hi My LadyBug! I just can not believe you are out of pre-school already!! Time goes so fast. It was so good to see you and Jacob last night when Auntie brought you both over. I need to see you all just about everyday or things just aren't right! I finally washed the Dylan kisses off of the storm door ....... It was very hard to do too! But the window was looking a little "grody" as you put it! I can't wait to see your garden you planted! And you are making me a salad! How cool!!!! I love you 10 billion bunches bug! See you later

So glad to hear that your check up went well!!! Picnics are so much fun, what a great way to end the school year!
My little guy got tubes in his ears last year, he was only 2, and I was so nervous about it, but it proved to be such a blessing-he hasn't had an infection since, and his speech improved so much. It's a wonder what little ear tubes can do!!
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Emma, you'll have to let us know how the new Scooby Doo movie is...my little guy who is almost three wants to get it, but sometimes when he watches Scooby Doo he'll say that the ghosts scare him. Let us know how scary it is!
You are such a brave little girl, and I hope that you feel all better soon. You are super strong and fought off that bad cancer, this cough doesn't know who it's dealing with, does it?
Sending prayers your way, and will be looking for your review Emma on the Scooby Doo movie!!:)

That flu bug has "bit" so many this year...and for all of you to get it at once is horrible....hope you all are feeling well enough for Emma's appointment on Thursday. When the little guys get it is is so hard because like you said, they don't know what to do!! And, that usually means A LOT of work on mom's part in the clean up department!!
Hope that the "bug" flies far, far away from your house soon!! I'll check back later to see if Emma makes it to her appointment and I'll be praying for great results!!

It only cost $5.00 and it goes to research for childhood cancer!! I wish I could give 5 Billion dollars and find a cure! It makes me sad to go to the site because when I look for your ribbon I just bring up Ohio and see how many people have written little messages and see how many children have cancer!

You have a pretty good arm too! And I have to tell you thank you for bringing "Hymlich" the catapillar over this weekend. It was so much fun babysitting for him while you and Jake went to the mall. (yes, I gave him a snack, and gave him water, and told him a bedtime story, but I stopped at brushing his teeth!!!) When you went home Sunday, Papa said the house was so quite without your sweet little laugh and voice everywhere! I miss you and Jake and Dylan when you guys go home!!! I love you 10 billion bunches Babybug! See you later!

And thank you so much for explaning what the eye doctor was going to do " put drops in your eyes to dialate your pupils so they can really see your iris and your retina!!!" I can't wait for you to spend the night again. But I still can't figure out how something as little as you takes up so much room in my big bed!!!! Go figure! I love you 10 billion bunches!!!

Emma,

You are so brave and such a big girl. Glad the eye doctor visit went great. No fevers!! I wish I had some of those platelets. Those counts were Wonderful.

I hope you got your badge. The kids at our church work for badges too. They have started Awana at our church. They have to learn verses like you do. My daughter Holly is to old to go to the classes though. I wish they had that when she was little.

Take good care of Dylan for mom and dad. There is alot of special things big sister can do.

He doesn't like to see His children suffer. Our mother doe and her twin fawns still visit us. I got them some apples because that is really a treat to them.

LadyBug! You did it!!!! Yaaaaaahooooooooo!!!!! I was so proud of you today! And I was really proud of you when the Child Life guy (Thomas) came and asked you if you would talk to a little girl that was going to get a mediport put in!! She was very scared huh? And she was crying and very shy! But you explained how it doesn't hurt and you put emla (emma) cream on and it just goes to sleep! And you don't even know they "access your port!" I really think you helped her. I wish I could of found the words to thank all those Doctors and nurses for taking such good care of my Bug these past 2 1/2 yrs..... I don't think I could ever find the right words...but I'm pretty sure they know what you mean to me.... I love you 10 billion bunches!!! See you later............

Hi LadyBug! Thank You so much for letting me go to "your" church today! I really enjoyed it! And Daddy said such a nice prayer!( Ron said the prayer today, and gave a testimony that broke my heart. For those of you who read this site and don't know my son in law personally let me tell you just a little. My Ronnie is a big guy... in height and heart. If I could of picked a guy for my daughter to marry it would of been him. He loves her , his children and most of all The Lord. He gave a testimony today and made me realize how hard this past two years have been on him too. We, well, at least I, have forgotten about Ronnie. He is a quite guy you really don't know what is going on inside all the time. But I was too busy worrying about my Emma and my Tammy. And he was the quite strength in the back ground... at the ready... to do anything and everything he could to help. Get up all night long with Dylan to give my Tammy a break and let her sleep. Go out in the rain and snow at 11pm at night to get something for Emma that she was craving because she was on Decadron. And he never said anything about how his heart was breaking for her too! He was just the strength Tammy needed! Now that she is taking her last chemo treatment on Tuesday, I look back and see how we ... all of us... could not have gone thru this without my Ronnie... Thank you honey, for taking such good care of the greatest gifts God has given me.... I love you!) And I love you 10 billion bunches ladybug ! See you later.

Most women become a mother by accident, some by choice, a few by habit. Did you ever wonder how mothers of children with cancer are chosen?

Somehow, I visualize God hovering over the earth selecting his instruments for propagation with great care and deliberation. As he observes, he instructs his angels to make notes in a giant ledger...

"Armstrong, Beth, son, patron saint Matthew."
"Forrest, Marjorie, daughter, patron saint Cecilia"
"Rutledge, Carrie, twins, patron saint Gerard. He's used to profanity."

Finally, he passes a name to an angel and says, "Give her a child with cancer." The angel is curious. "Why this one, God? She's so happy."

"Exactly," smiles God. "Could I give a child with cancer a mother who does not know laughter? That would be cruel."

"But does she have patience?" asks the angel.

"I don't want her to have too much patience or she will drown in a sea of self-pity and despair. Once the shock and resentment wears off, she will handle it."

"I watched her today," said God. "She has that feeling of self-independence that is so rare and necessary in a mother. You see, the child I'm going to give her has it's own world. She has to make it live in her world and that's not going to be easy."

"But Lord, I don't think she believes in you," said the angel. "No matter. I can fix that. This one is perfect. She has just enough selfishness."

The angel gasps, "Selfishness? Is that a virtue?"

God nods, "If she can't separate herself from the child occasionally, she'll never survive. Yes, here is a woman I will bless with a child less than perfect. She doesn't realize it yet, but she is to be envied. She will never take anything her child does for granted. She will never consider a single step ordinary. I will permit her to see clearly the things I see...ignorance, cruelty, prejudice...and allow her to rise above them."

"And what about her patron saint?" asks the angel, his pen poised in mid-air.

God smiles and says,..."A mirror will suffice."

Hey guys,
Thanks for the encouragement on Matthew's website. I am really glad to hear that Emma is doing better. I guess their little bodies can only take so much until they get tuckered out. Matthew had Vincristine/Pred./Spinal a few weeks ago and I think it hit him pretty hard. Thank goodness it was our last. Anyway, your words were an encouragement. With all of the support from other "cancer moms", I'm going to try and stay positive about this weeks visit. God bless and take care.

Emma, I hope you get to feeling better really soon. It sounds like your doctor has everything under control. I do pray that they find a cure for this awful disease for all the children and adults. They have come along way in studies just not enough. Just remember you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi Emma, Let me first say how happy I am for you and your family! Its a very special job, being a big sister. I was the youngest in my family I alwasy wanted a baby brother, your lucky. Now I'm all grown up and I have two kids of my own. a girl and a boy! My girl is almost grown herself. Shes 20 and my boy is 12. They are helping me to get ready for the marathon. This isnt my first race for the Leukemia Society but its alittle harder this time because I'm very busy training a Search and Rescue Dog. Her name is "Dolly". Maybe someday you can meet Dolly she loves kids!
You take care of your new baby and maybe I can call your house sometime soon!

Dear Emma--I've read your journal through twice, and think it's very special of you to share your story this way. I think you look very nice in your picture--that's such a pretty dress! I'm sorry to hear you've had a cold and hope you get over it quickly. I'll keep you in my prayers so that you can get right back to your treatments. Bye for now!

Hi Emma!

Just checkin in on ya! That's a bummer about your counts being too low for chemo. Nick has been going through the same thing...viral junk since November. He has been on and off chemo for months. Hopefully now we are all back on the road to recovery~!

You're pictures are sooo beautiful!~ You sure have grown up so fast and into quite the little lady!

Take Care...

Dear Emma, I loved reading all about you and seeing the pictures of you with your beautiful red curls! My little boy, Aidan, has red hair, too, but his hair didn't come back as curly as yours did. He is almost 3 years old (Dec. 7) and was dx with ALL on 8/31/00. He is doing well on maintenance, but has had low counts a lot. We will pray for your counts to go up so you can continue with your treatment. We know how important it is, even if it doesn't make you feel very good. Have fun on your computer!

Tammy,
I could read the concern in your update and I can empathize only too well. Whenever Matthew's counts do that, I think to myself, we've been through this before and they always come back up, but I still worry EVERY time. You are a mother, and that's what we do, right? God's word always seems to comfort me. "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?" Luke 12:25-26 He is always in control. I hope and pray that Emma's counts have rebounded already as your journal was several days old. God bless and take care.

Everyone says how pretty they are and I tell them all about your trip. And Jacob loves the Mickey Mouse ears you got him too but he wears them sideways and he looks like a shark instead. Hahaha. See you later, and I pray for your counts to go up. I hate it when they are down because I miss you so much when we can't come around. I love you, Auntie xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Miss Emma, I want to sponsor the walk "light the night" for you. Ask your Mom to tell me how it works - do I donate a certain amount, so much per mile - let me know. I don't know if I'll be in town to actually walk, but I want to be a sponsor. I don't know where I was when that happened, I missed it. Big fun seeing you - it makes my day to see you.

Hey Guys,

I am so glad to hear that little Emma is doing so well, considering all that she has been through over the past few weeks. Her counts look great! I am so happy to hear that they are going to give her a port. It might take a while for her to get comfortable with them accessing it but the pros far out weigh the cons. We will be praying for Emma this Friday! It sounds like she will have a busy day.

Your Friends,

Okay, we MUST know..........what did Daddy say when he saw all his clothes hanging outside??? Emma, you are one funny little girl!! I think if we spent some time with you, you would have us all rolling around on the floor giggling!! When Bryce was 3, I thought he was a GENIUS when he stated that he knew a "woman is called a female." Wow, I asked him,
"So what's a man called?" And he said knowingly, "A Rooster." Oh well, there went my "Genius" theory!! Kids say the darndest things.........and I LOVE it!!! Glad you are feeling good.......can't wait to hear about your Tee-ball game!! Take care! Love, Bill, Stacey, Bryce, and Chad

Hello Hall Family,

It makes me laugh when I read about Emma having the grumpies while she is on steroids because I can relate so well. I think it is better to laugh about it then to cry. Although, when Sarah Anne gets the grumpies while we are in Florida next week, I hope I can remember to laugh. I am glad to hear little Emma is doing well and I hope all goes well with the rest of her VBS.

Your Friends,

Hi Emma!
I'm so glad that you are doing well and will be able to play TBall. That will be so much fun! My son Ross is 10 and also has leukemia. We've been at the ballpark a lot, too! I remember when Ross was giving up his "binky"...the only way he would ever give it up was to finally give it to his grandparents dog! He thought that was pretty funny!

"Okie, Dokie, Artichokie"? Miss Emma, where did you learn that? Very cool, I'll admit - we'll have to make some artichoke dip (mmmmmmm). How are you? I miss you! Ask your Mom when I can come over and fly your kite with you. Saturday? Sunday? Have a long run with my coach early Sunday but will be finished noonish. How is your cough? Tell your Mom I'll talk to her soon. Big love, Miss Emma. See you soon.

Thanks for stopping by Matthew's page. We always love to meet new families and precious angels like Emma. She is so adorable! I've heard the Hicks talk about her before so I'm glad to put a face with the name. Seems like Spring/Summer 2000 was a tough time for so many families...we've met several who were diagnosed then. I hope that Emma recovers from her infection soon. God bless and take care. I've bookmarked her page so we'll check on you guys regularly.

I got a great medal and lots of ideas (Emma, I mean LOTS of ideas) about how to improve my running before the BIG race. Thought of you the whole time. It took 2 hours and 45 minutes but don't tell anyone because that time is awful. (We have time to improve.) Emma, 26,700 people ran that race! There were people everywhere! I'm sending you pics via e-mail. Great reports, you are so good - can't wait to see you on Saturday. Any BD requests? Tell me. Big love, Miss Nancy

What a beautiful little angel. I enjoyed the log and the photo albumn. Your info is very helpful to us as our Nicolas will enter his 2nd DI in late June. He is presently in maintenance with a spinal tap due this coming Tuesday. I don't get to see him or his sister (Adriana 7 mo.)because of my disability but their NaNa is with them for the next few days giving their parents a well deserved break as you know from experience. God Bless you all and I will continue to pray for Tammy along with all Nicolas's other friends from the cancer support group.

Hey little friend,

I was just checking to see how you were feeling. It makes me smile to hear about how well you are doing even if you are a little grumpy & hungry from those steroids (That's just part of it). Your little friend Sarah Anne also gets really hungry and grumpy while taking the yucky medicine.

You are in our prayers,

How are you today, Miss Emma? Today I had scheduled 8 miles to run for our race. I went 9 - ran 6,walked 3. I'll take it - not perfect, have had better, have had much worse. I always think of you as I run. I decided a few weeks ago I would gather all of the coins I find on the street. Believe it or not, there are alot of pennies on the street! And for two days now (I think this is really significant), I found a quarter and a penny (found them on Saturday, found them today.) 26 cents, 26 miles, hmmm. I'm saving all of these coins to give to you as my honoree. Pretty cool. (We're not going to get rich, but it's fun and certainly something to look back on.) Every day I make my runs, I know it's because I have you to support me. Thank you Miss Emma. Kisses, hugs and I hope this week goes really really well and you feel better. Love, Miss Nancy

I will pray for no fever too during this time. I hope she is able to get her treatment today because you are right--even though it will drop her counts more, she needs it to keep the monster away. Intensification is a tough phase to be in for the whole family---but hang in there!! Better days are coming.
One day at a time......

Hi Hall Family..

Just checking in to see how Emma is doing. Those shots are the worst aren't they? Nick hates EMLA too. I used some on my oldest son, Ty, when he got his flu shot. He said he couldn't feel a thing. That made me feel better. With Nick being so young he can't tell me if it is working or not. But those L-asp needles are so long and putting them into those little legs are heart breaking. Just a couple more weeks...Emma..you are such a brave little girl! Big hugs to you and your family!!

Hi my little Buddy!! I am soooooooooo sorry that Jacob got you sick!!!! I had no idea that he was even sick on Sunday or I would have never ever brought him around you. I feel sooooo bad. I sure hope you feel better soon. We had so much fun this past weekend with Franklin and my party. I had such a good time with you and so did Jacob. I am sorry that he kept robbing your Vegetable stand!!!! Love you, Auntie xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Hi Emma,
I am sorry you are not feeling that well right now. I know it is not any fun to feel bad, when instead you could be playing with your toys. Hopefully, this is just a little virus and you you will feel better soon. Sarah Anne has had to stop taking her pills while she was sick too. That seems to help you get over what is making you feel bad. Our prayers are with you.

Hi......Hope you're feeling good Emma. My baby son also used to take chemo, so I know how yucky it makes you feel. It tough on Mum and Dad too, seeing their child sick. I hope you had a great Christmas and that 2001 will be a leukaemia free year as I hope all the rest of the years will be for you. You are a very brave little girl and I know that your parents must be so proud of you! It's a pity it takes something like this to show the world just how brave you really are. Keep fighting!

Hi Emma! I am so glad to hear how well you are doing. I keep myself updated by talking to your Aunt Melanie at work, and now I can hear all about you on this wonderful website! Last week I got almost 11 inches of my hair cut off and donated it to Locks of Love. They make new hair for kids while they are getting better and until their own hair grows back. I was really afraid to do it, but then I remembered how very brave you are and it made it much easier. Tell your mommy I said hi, and I hope you get better soon so you can come visit us. You are always in my prayers! P.S. I bet you look beautiful in your lady bug tennis shoes!

Hi, Emma.

Did you know that if you have your own web page that makes you a little superstar.
Your picture is the cutiest thing, it makes me smile just looking at you.
I hope you are feeling better soon and in a happy mood. Tell Aunt Melanie to bring you in to see me soon. I miss seeing you on monday nights. Dr. Sohayda says hi too.

Love,
Michelle

Hi Emma: Your picture with a note from Mommy is up in the hallway of the Clinic where I work. You're one of the prettiest little girls I know. Jesus loves you and He is with you every day. He's healing you and one day He will make sure that you don't have to take any more medicine. But until then, enjoy your tea parties with Mom & Dad.

Love, LuAnne

Hi Emma,
I printed your picture off the computer and I am going to put it on my refrigerator, so I can see you and think of you everyday! Tell your mommy I miss working with her and seeing her everyday. Hope you are feeling better, Sweetie.
