I'm sure you know how much we miss you still. I know you are happy and there are many people in Heaven with you who know and love you also.
All my love, Grandma

I was just passing through and got very caught up with reading Michael's story. I do not know you or your family. I read almost every entry and have been sitting here for hours. My heart goes out to you and to all the parents that have lost a child. You were so loving to Michael in the hospital and he was so strong. What a beautiful little boy. You should never feel any quilt for telling him he would get better. You had to think positively. You made every day of his last days bearable for him. You are a very special Mom. Your husband was a real gem for going through all he went through also. I am so happy to see you now have a beautiful daughter. And she truly is beautiful. I wish there were more pictures of Michael but the one of him fishing is priceless. I wish you much comfort and a very happy healthy life. God Bless you all.

My daughter, Leslie, died of leukemia in May, 2000. Daily, I pray for the too many children that have died from cancer, of which Michael's name is always there. I haven't checked your website in over a year, because we moved, and I just found my caringbridge addresses. I was glad I checked your site today, as it is a very sad day for you. May God hold you today and comfort you.

Our Lord Jesus prayed that "those which thou hast given me" be with Him where He was. Praise God that by His grace and mercy that is where our beloved children await. May we always be comforted and encouraged by His precious promise.

I came across your site last night looking for ways to cope with the loss of a child. My beautiful daughter "Joy" died on jan.20 2004 due to complications from a bone marrow transplant. she was diagnosed with CML after being involved in a car accident in Aug 2001. This was a real shock to us. She had her BMT on july 11 2003, things were going pretty good but then turned very bad. Reading your journal gave me insight on how i feel. The pain does not ever lessen, I cry everyday for her and just want to see her hold her smell her and kiss her once again. I know nothing can ever bring her back and I do wait for my turn so we can be reunited once again. I try to be strong and mask my sorrow till I'm alone but sometimes it's just unberable for me. I do the carrying on for her twin brother Michael. They will be "21" on Oct 21. Joy was 19years 2months and 30days when she died. We do miss her so much and try to live with this broken heart. Readibg about your son, I am no longer alone. Thank you very much, God bless your family.

I completely understand with the problems of preschool. My daughter was always left behind even though we both worked we were no where near high income! All kids should have the right to the state programs. I have dealt with this for years.

We know how devastingly painful these days can be. Not that any other day is less painful but the relentless edge of reliving this day and those that led up to it cuts so very, very deeply. On the eve of Christopher's Homegoing we pray that our Lord abundantly bless you with His comfort, hope and peace. We pray that your mourning to be turned to joy by His precious promise of Heaven and by the knowledge of Christopher's presence in His Glory.
In His Love,

You are in my thoughts and prayers as you celebrate the remembrance of Michael's birth and special time with you this side of Heaven. My Bible tells me that your precious Michael is now whole and as sure in the presence of our Lord Jesus as if he were right in front of you. He could not be in better company. There he will wait with all the others who have trusted Jesus until we, who have also placed our trust on Him are gathered together with them in His Glory. Oh, yes, yes, yes. "Remember the word unto thy servant upon which thou hast caused me to hope". Cling to the Hope of His Word! May our Lord pour the comfort and peace of the knowledge of His presence upon you abundantly.
In His Love,

I lost my little brother 2 weeks ago tomorrow to AML after a BMT. He would have been coming home in a few days when he suddenly came down with confusion and kidney failure that the MD's were sure "would pass" as they said it was due to a BK virus. My parents are devistated, especially my mother. I'm not sure she is going to get through this. My brother was diagnosed at 17 and he was 20 at his death. I am 13 years older than him so he was like my child as well. He is everywhere but I dont want him not to be. I am fine at times then it comes right back. I am a flight nurse so sometimes I think it would be better if I knew less. It makes it hard to work. Just looking for words of comfort and help if possible. I am so sorry for the loss of your child...

Hi Jane,
I was thinking of Michael today. Whitney and I spent a week back at Duke with them doing some tests on her lungs. There is so many kids that are so sick. It just does not end. But, it really made me remember Michael and how he used to crawl into bed with her and play games and watch TV. Hannah reminds me so much of him.

I just wanted to correct part of my earlier entry. I realize that hannah is older than my son. (but that they were both born on St. Patricks Day). Don't forget to wear something green Hannah!!! (smile)

I just finished reading your journal entries and my heart was breaking for you and your family. I know it has been awhile since you lost your son but I'm sure at times it must feel like only yesterday. I also have a son named Michael and he was born on your daughter Hannah's birthday. March, 17th, 2003. (ST. Patricks Day). He will soon be turning One. Early Birthday wishes for your daughter. I wish that there was some way I could ease your pain and the pain of those who have to go through something like this. I wrote a little poem that I have left with some of the families at other CaringBridge sites. I hope that it comforts you...even just a little. I don't consider myself a poet, but it only takes a moment to show others that you care and this is my way of doing it. Please take care and always know that others are thinking of you.
amidst the sunbeams you'll see his face
upon the raindrops you'll see his smile
through the fog he guides you along
during a storm he holds your hand
In the snow on the ground you see his wings
And you know you are never alone
When you look upon the sky at night
a distant star will shine a little brighter
You'll lay in bed and say his name
and he twinkles to let you know he's okay
The days seem endless, your mind is unclear
You just want to hold him and snuggle him close
that is your only wish
but then you realize that he's all around you..
In the sunbeams, the rain, the fog, the storm, the snow,
the stars, but more importantly he is snuggling up next to your heart.
And it is here that you will hold him for a lifetime

Hi Jane. This is Jennifer, Emily's Mom. I was just popping in to see how you were doing and was delighted to see your beautiful Hannah. What a doll she is. :) I think of you and little Michael. I have a hospital picture of Michael, AJ, and Alisha with the Racoon costume that I cherish. Glad to see that you are doing so well. Take good care and best wishes to you all.

Just wanted to let you know that you are in our prayers as another anniversary of Michael's Homegoing approaches. Since we hurt every minute of every hour of every day, I guess for some it is hard to understand how we could possibly hurt more. But we know. We also know how much it means to us for others to remember. I did not know Michael personally but I know him through your heart. I pray our Lord blesses you abundantly with His comfort, His peace, His hope and, most of all, His love, in a very, very special way.

I haven't been keeping track of you guys lately, but I have noticed its almost 3 years. It seems so short. Hannah has grown so much, since I seen her baby pics on the site a few years ago. She is the precius little thing. God Bless You.

Mrs. Rice, your June 10 journal entry breaks my heart, breaks my heart, breaks my heart. I pray every day for moms who have lost their children to cancer. Cancer is so unbelievably cruel. Not only does it take our precious ones, but it makes them suffer. And it makes us suffer as we watch helplessly. And then when it takes them, it leaves us with a gaping hole in our lives that nothing in this world can fill. People who live in the world of good health don't understand this. They think if you could just "let it go" or "have more faith" then everything would be okay. I still have my faith -- perhaps more-so now than ever, but does that mean I don't have any emotions?!! As one mom said, "I sometimes get frustrated when it seems that society confuses my emotional pain with spiritual pain." I know that God understands and that He desires to bring you peace and comfort. That is my prayer for you. "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort." 2 Corinthians 1:3
