Dawn-it has been awhile since I had moved away but my searches looking to reunite old friendships has led me to this page. There are no words to express my feelings for you and your family with the loss of your son. I know that we can be reassured that your son is with Christ. I will be praying for you and your family.

Hi Dawn:

It has been 5+ years since my sister and I met you, your husband and Chayton at the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, TX... If you remember, we had my Dad there and he had colon cancer. I just thought I'd write and let you know that my sister and I often think about you and hope that you are all doing OK... Take Care... Gary

Dawn and family, I have been following your journey since just after Chayton passed. I draw so much strength from reading your entries. I think if you can be so strong through this, I can make it through just about anything. I struggle with infertility and reading your entries really gives me the strength to deal some days. Thank you for sharing your beautiful son and family with us. May God continue to bless you all with happiness and love.

Holding you close in prayer as Chayton's birthday approaches. We know our grief never really goes away. It simply resurfaces unexpectedly with renewed strength tearing us apart with those same memories that hold us together. Receive warm, knowing hugs from one who knows you pain.

This is the first time i have read you web site for Chayton. I am crying for all who have lost a little one to cancer. I lost a Grandson to ARMS in 2005 at nine years, ERic Dakota. It still hurts so much,and I pray always for a cure for all cancers. Yes these children are wise beyond their years and teach us so much in their short life. God bless your family. We are made stronger by their strenght and wisdom! Shalom

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here,
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard,
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine,
except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven,
they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried,
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know,
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so,
they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do?
my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight,
they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well,
so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth,
they need to be honored, and be remembered too,
just as the children of the earth will do,
thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best,
find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.

All my love,

Viks

Ran across this poem and thought of you alot today....

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Miss you - hope all is well

I appologize for not coming to visit your website more often, on the Rhabdoid kids website you have to scroll down pretty far, and most websites I do visit haven't updated in YEARS, but from now on I will check in more often, I know how it feels to think no one remembers your child and all the hell they went thru.

CHAYTON WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! I think of him and you all often. Especially in February and May. It has been hard for me to come here as well. Chayton was the first person I met when coming to Rhabdoid kids and unfortunately it was right before he passed. I went back thru to day 1 and read thru everything in a matter of 2 nights. I cried forever. He has touched me in so many ways. One of my sons is his age when he passed and it breaks my heart that someone needs to go thru that. I am so sorry for your loss. Please try hard to work things out with Darrell. I can tell you guys are made for one another. Seek the help of God! Know you are all in my prayers.

Hello Dawn & family:

I got the link for this page from Bradley Campbell's page -- Sherri speaks of your friendship in such an amazing way. "What goes around; comes around".

I have read about your journey with sweet Chayton & have wept by your side along with so many others.

As I posted on Bradley's site, I read recently that grief is not a wound to be healed but rather a seed that takes root. Over the course of one's life, these roots will take many different direction & at varying depths. It is my prayer for you and your precious family that these roots find fertile ground and bear many fruit that will be a blessing to you & those you love. Just from reading your journal, I know you are far too strong & loving a mother to allow these roots to take hold in bramble or weeds. As "a friend" so aptly put it: you & your family have ceded enough to this monster.

I have been blessed with 4 precious children and I cannot fathom a deeper pain than losing one of them. I cannot tell you that I know how you feel and I pray I never will.

I am so grateful that God has blessed you with a new daughter and although grief will forevermore be a part of your being, I know you have what it takes to guide and direct it's "roots" to the optimal "orchard".

Blessings & prayers,
Kathy

Hello Andersons,
I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and hoping that with all the emotions today must have brought for you that there were some smiles in remembering Chayton.I'm sure the time surrounding this day bring on a wide range of emotions--i will never forget all that you wrote in the journal surrounding this day. Your journaling and detail of everything you were going thru is what makes your journey and Chays journey so real to me.
You have honored him well...
Hang in there..
