I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you, and your precious angel, Cole. I also lost my little boy, Kyle, to ALL + the Philadelphia chromosome. So, my heart reaches out to you, stranger or not, but as a fellow grieving parent who understands the depth of your pain, today.
With shared hearts and hugs,

We lift you in prayer today, the eve of Cole's birthday, and ask our heavenly Father that, in the midst of this incomprehensible pain and sorrow, we may rejoice and through our tears see the precious promise the birth of our Saviour brings. May our Lord hold you close and let you know that both Cole and He are there in a very special way.
In His Love,

You and your beloved Cole were not forgotten on his Homegoing anniversary. We know all too well the renewed intensity of the pain and yearning their special days bring. But, praise God, we also know the blessing of precious memories and, most of all, of the precious promise we have to see our children again. May our Lord shower you with His comfort and peace.
In His Love,

Just dropping by again to let you know that you are in my prayers as another anniversary of Cole's Homegoing descends upon you. We miss them every second of every minute of every hour but I know from experience that, although almost impossible to even comprehend, there is an even greater pain on days like this. May our Lord's comfort, peace and hope be very real and very special.

IT'S BEEN A YEAR
It's been a year nor
Since you went away
But I feel the pain that is in my heart
Will be there forever and a day
I miss your cheeky smile
Your cute little way
I miss the fun we had togather
And the games that we would play
I know you do not suffer
And for that at least I\m glad
But your ever loving memory
Always leaves me sad
Mummy please don't feel that way
For I am near at hand
I would never leave you
Alone in this big land
I haven't really gone away
As you can plainly see
For I am with you all the time
Within your memory
I love Mom, I always will
And I know that you love me
So please don't cry or be unhappy
For my soul has been set free
God Bless

Birthdays are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years
A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share its special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife
Before a spirit comes to us,
It Knows when and how it must depart
It choses its path carefully,
We are honored from the start
The sadness we now feel on such a joyus day
Is longing for our loved one's touch
It's natural to feel this way
For even though the birthdays
No longer mark a spirit's stay
Love continues on forever
To touch us everday
I hug my precious memories
Close to my heart
And honor my beloved spirit child
Who chose me from the start

Your little boy is so beautiful. My heart just crys for you all this morning as I read your web page. I came across it through the Heavenly Lights news letter. I always check out the children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, as that is what my son Jackson Ben also battled. I feel that we have traveled a similar journey. I am so sorry for your loss...but rejoice in the Victory that your son holds with Jesus. :) Many blessings to you all.

Thank you for sharing Cole. Our Anna went to be with the Lord in May of 1997 and I will grieve as long as I live. Death casts a long shadow that reaches into every crevice of life. I will, however, grieve in hope, precious hope, for I WILL hold my Anna again. I am so grateful to a Saviour that brings His comfort and His peace in even this, our most cutting and enduring pain. The days of grief are long. When you need to weep, weep. When you must sit in darkness, sit for awhile. And as you do, I pray that you will continue to turn your face towards the healing Light of Jesus and allow His compassionate embrace to comfort you while you weep. And as the pain is, even greater will be His Grace...sufficient to sustain us until we who have believed in His precious, precious Name are all reunited in His holy presence.

Shawnee,
I am so glad that you sent me Cole's website. What a sweet little guy you have. My daughter was 2yrs and 1 day old. I am so sorry about Cole, there is no consolation in saying that he is in a better place, but in my heart I know that all of our children are because they no longer have to suffer. Dying is not the hard part it is the living afterwards without them. If you ever want to talk you can email me and we can exchange phone numbers. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My family has known the Pelton family for a number of years. After reading the journals, and watching these two brave people help their sweet Cole fight, and finally succumbing to defeat makes me realize that God has a plan for all of us, and we should learn from these two courageous people what love is all about. We each need to thank God for His blessings, and never take anything for granted. Josh and Shawnee have endured more in the last 2 years than many of us encounter in our lifetimes. My hope is that we all realize how fragile each life is, and how it can so quickly be taken from us.
Josh and Shawnee, please know that many people love you, and will always be here for you. After talking to them both at length, I believe they would be excellent grief counselors for people going through this time of great grief and sorrow. May God's love and peace be with you always.

I am sitting shocked and with tears in my eyes. I never thought there would be a day when something like this would be shared by my husband. It just goes to show how much Cole truly has taught us. Thank you Cole for being you and for being such an incredibly loving, sweet, silly, stubborn, courageous,sensitive little boy. Every single day with you was a blessing and a gift. I miss you very much, but I still feel you with me. Remember who loves you...your mama loves you..to the moon and back boyo.

We never got to see Cole other than in picutes, but he will always be a part of our hearts. Thank you for sharing him with us all. May God help you find peace and comfort in knowing you will all be together again one day. Love to all... your cousins in New Mexico.

Cole, I just want you to know that in the short time (too short) that I've known you, you've showed more courage, love, and a passionate will to live than most adults I know. You've fought a long and painful battle. When I look into your eyes I see a very old soul, and I sometimes think "he's very wise, he knows exactly whats going on" You are one smart cookie and a tough one too, and I just want you to know that you will always be in my heart. I love you and will miss you more than words can say. Shawnee and Josh, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Call me anytime day or night if you need something. Love you much

I found this at a website and I thought I'd share.
Cancer Is So Limited
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot conquer the spirit
Cancer Does..........
Die with death.
Help to move us to eternity.
Brings families to compassion.
Encourages us to finish business.
Frees our spirit from an already declining body.
I've read many posts about Cole's condition and treatment. What I've also read is the tremendous group of wonderful people that surround him on a daily basis.
It is not sad that he is facing this at a young age - it is sad that there will be people that live to be 100 and never know the kind of love Cole knows.
I'd ask God to bless each of you, but he already has.
I will add each of you to my prayers. Thank you for sharing with us the life of Cole.

Dear Father, I ask that you wrap your loving arms around Cole and his family at this deserving time father. I ask that you lay your healing hands over this child of yours so that he may be comfortable during this time. In your heavenly name we pray, amen"...please know that our church has added Cole to our prayer list and we continue to pray for him and you as well. "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:15

The good Lord carved us all with his right hand from the same place in his heart. He sends us to earth with his left hand to experience all its wonders even if brief. And when he is most needed, if we are too weak to ask, he uses both hands and lays them upon us to still our fears, our pain, and our doubt. He picks us up and sets us on his shoulder forever in his protection and love.

You have our prayers too. We were fortunate with our sons to have never had a serious sickness with them but know what he and you must be going through. May God be with you through this and know that he will be in the best hands that any of us could ever hope for.

I know you not, but your family is in my prayers. I offer the following: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the suffering of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows." 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Our God is an awesome and loving God! I have never walked where you are walking but there is a compassion rising up within me and you are in my prayers. Remember, God's mercy is new every morning and His grace is sufficient to carry us through. May God's peace saturate you and Cole may He wrap you in His arms of love. Remember He has gone before you and prepared the way. With agape love and prayers.

Joshua has two sisters and one brother, Rebecca, Rachel, and Daniel. We are all very proud of the way in which Cole's Parent have handled themselves though this very stress filled time, and would like to send them all our love and prayers.
