The Littlest Soldiers
The medals on our chests
Are porta-a-caths for meds
Helmets won't stay on
'cause no hair is on our heads.
Our weapons of destruction
We take everyday
We fight the battle within us
While we struggle on to play.
We fight with honor and courage
No marine could do as well
We are only little children
Living in this hell.
So bring on the medals
The Purple Hearts of Wars
The Gold Cross, The Silver Star
To place upon our scars.
For we are the Children of Cancer
No one has fought so hard
But everyday we struggle on
Our life is our reward

MY PURPOSE
I have cancer. There isn't any an explanation as to why I became sick. All I know is God has a plan for each of us,and for each plan there is a purpose.Some of us know what our purpose in life is and others will never find it. Then there are those like me who accomplish it without ever realizing it.
My journey with cancer will not and has not been without purpose. It is through my illness that I have helped doctors understand this disease a little more so they may find a cure. It is through my illness that I have opened the eyes of those around me to how precious life really is.Something we all too often take for granted.
It is through my illness that some of those around me have realized that life is too short to be afraid of our feelings.My cancer has been beaten back by the power of love.It is the most powerful of emotions,one not to be afraid of,but to be embraced. To be loved by someone unconditionally and completely is to reach into your soul and feel warmth.
It is through my illness that I have shown there is no guarantee for the future--only dreams for it.Whether the future is just another day or another 75 years,we should all dream big and live fully everyday.
It is through my illness that some of us who haven't talked to God in awhile have once again begun to pray.
It is through my illness that I have joined the hands of those familer to those of strangers to form one long chain. I have already done so much in such a short time,and Each day I continue to touch the hearts of many.
THAT IS MY PURPOSE

We would like to ask you all to consider becoming a bone marrow donor. Several of Tommy's friends have had to have a bone marrow transplant. For a lot of them, the donations came from people like you. With a little of your time, you could literally save someone's life! For more information please go to www.marrow.org or call 1-800-MARROW-2
In memory of Tommy's friend DJ
Journal
Thursday, May 15, 2008 11:50 AM CDT Tommy is really doing well. We are getting ready to do all the things that summer brings. We are going camping in a few weeks since we are all out of school. He is very excited to go since this will be his first trip. He is going to go fishing with his pawpaw which he is waiting with great anticipation. I am thrilled to see him start to do the things that little boys should be doing.
As always, thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers for Tommy.
