Cancer Warrior Shane Class of 2009

Shane was out and about Saturday, only a miracle could have produced the results weve seen. Shane continues to grow stronger and refuses to give into osteosarcoma and continues to win not missing a beat. He was up early Saturday morning to meet Nurse Diane, her husband and friends for a day out in the field, four wheel driving, shooting targets and carrying on as if it was just another day, two brothers hanging out together. Praise God from who all Blessings flow. We are so thankful to see him g… Continue

Shoes

Shoes I am wearing a pair of shoes. They are ugly shoes. Uncomfortable shoes. I hate my shoes. Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair. Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I don’t think I can take another step. Yet, I continue to wear them. I get funny looks wearing these shoes. I can tell in others eyes that they’re glad they are my shoes and not theirs. T hey never talk about my shoes. To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable. To truly understand these… Continue

Good Friday turned into A Great Friday!

Good Morning to all my Family & Friends, Shane was up early under the hood and eager to diagnose the mechanical problems with my car. He has a code scanner coupled with the internet ..it's amazing what he has taught himself to do, his prognosis was to replace the battery and restart the system, however due to physical limitations, the cold weather, and not being out of bed for so long limited his valiant attack and he quickly returned to his room and fell fast asleep. Yesterday afternoon w… Continue

Lizzie Bell

I also realized that she brought bears to kids in the hospital, and that she… Continue

Missing everyone = (

Hi all, I think about Boey everyday and miss our chats and prayer times. I hope some day that we will come together again and unite.

This is not a fundraiser so I am not asking for money. Thanks and God bless! Linda - BLW Continue
