City Of Hope

These are pictures of my son and I together over the last few months.  He has had ALCL Lymphoma. This has been a really hard thing for all of us to go through especially him.  However in the dark momoent and days there was always God and the GIVERS.... Let me explain.  Ya see when your child suddenly gets diognsed with a life threating disease your never really prepared for what lies ahead.  Your not ready for Pet Scans on 9th Birthdays and all the hard stuff  that comes with Cancer.  However along the way came tender mercies from the GIVERS. A Pillow cases on the pillow for surgery to get a spinal tap.  Toys that brought  smiles, blankets to gave comfort.  

SO I KNOW THAT THESE LITTLE THINGS THAT SEEM SO SMALL ARE NOT THEY ARE BIG!  THE GIFT FROM GIVERS CAN CHANGE A DARK NIGHT TO A STAR LITE SKY.  

 This Pillow case was given to him on the day of his last chemo with a lego inside!!!

Mr. Blue Eyes has been sewing his little heart out.  So touching even for me,   So this is his tower of peace, love and good will to the children at City of Hope!  For me as a mom it has been therapeutic remembering the blankets and pillowcases we were given during this truly difficult time.  We all can make a difference one step and one day at a time. Tonight my ache fingers would say one pin prick at a time!

It truly matters and I know more than ever that these gifts for the children transcend the actual physical representation that they hold.... 

They offer hope, thoughts of  love and good will of others for there healing and recovery.

 

 Pillow cases for the kids when they have surgeries or procedures done.  

 Pillowcases from a Youth group that also will be going to Ciy Of Hope.
