Dedication...
I am in the middle of two posts that I just haven't had the time to finish posting. I have to say a few words about several special people who have died, all within a week.
First, my sister-in-law's nephew's baby who was merely 3 days old. The doctors knew he had heart problems and induced labor early to start treatment. After Sean Matthew was born, doctors realized that the problems were much worse than expected and the only way he could survive is if he had a transplant immediately. Originally they thought they had until he was three. He was buried in a cemetery for newborns. How sad that such a cemetery exists.
Tuesday morning at school we were alerted that our reading specialist, who was battling breast cancer for the second time, and was only 38 years old, was in the ICU. She had been at school every day, and told us, "I'll be here as long as you'll have me!" Yesterday morning, she lost her battle, leaving behind a husband and children.
Wednesday night I got the call that two of the kids I worked with through the foundation that works with pediatric cancer patients had passed. One was my buddy James, whom a posted about a couple of times. The other was Bailee, whom I chaperoned on my very first trip with the group. She battled bravely and for a long time. She always was feisty.
It was a sad, depressing week, and I want to thank those who have sent me consoling thoughts and prayers.
Here are my buddies, Bailee and James.
