Jonny Barlett

This page was created for Jonny, to keep everyone up to date on his treatment.
Jonny was born on 2-04-94, and left this world on 12-27-01, at 3:44 pm, after a long and hard battle with Leukemia. I will continue to update this webpage, to let you know of memories of Jonny, and also what is happening in our life.

One out of every 330 kids will get cancer before the age of 20. Every school day there is 42 children that are diagnosed with cancer. That is enough to fill 2 classrooms, with children.
Each year cancer kills more children thanasthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies, and AIDS - combined!!!!!!
When will there be equal support between adult and childhood cancers. Right now majority of funding goes for adult cancers. Here is something for you to think about for awhile. 90% of children are on clinical trials, while 90% of adults are off of them. Children are blazing the path for new and better treatments out there, we should make sure that they can do that.

Here is a poem, that fits any parent. I know that it has a special place in my heart.
Just For This Day:
Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear and smile and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up, and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning I will leave the dishes in the sink and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of your together
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both of the toys.
Just for this evening I will hold you in my arms, and tell you a story about how you were born, and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late whilst we sit on the porch and cout all of the stars.
Just fo rthis evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours and miss my favorite TV shows.
Just for this evening I will run my fingers through your hair as you sleep
I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given
I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their childrens graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms, watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming
inside that they can't take it anymore.
And when I kiss you good night, I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer, it is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask them for nothing except one more day.

Hello everyone,

I am writting this to in hopes that there are still a few people out there that remember Jonny and his website. I know that it has been years since his passing, and I still miss him each and every day.

I did want to let everyone know that things are looking up as well as still looking to the past for items. There has been some large changes in my life since I have last written anything in here. Here is some of the big life changing events that happened; Jonny's mother and I are no longer together, we were divorced in 2005, currently living in the Metro Detroit area, married, and have a new 10 week old here at the house. Oh, just about forgot that I have started a new business to where I am able to give back to some of the charities that helped Jonny and I out for so long. Here is the website to what I am doing now.
