Angie,
This year has been long for me. Hard to believe it's been seven years since Wesley has gone home...
Not to sound repetitious, but I do pray often for you (still)...
Love,

It has been a long time since I stopped in here. I remember that this was the first and last place I went every day to see how things were going. You have not been forgotten. You would be so proud of your momma and the things she has done to honor you. She is a survivor for you and your sister and brother and family. You are missed and loved. <3

Angie,
The days before Dinah's "homegoing" tend to be harder than the actual day - I think because others are praying for us :) Anyway, I just wanted you to know I am thinking of you and praying for you as Wesley's six year anniversary approaches...

As I ask God for some answers on my 7year old High Risk Leukemia (ALL),I came across this site and since 7am it now 2pm I have read your family journal. I have cried, smiled and laughed not till I got to the last entry did I realized that today is September 29, 2010 your son birthday. I got the chills because for some reason I was directed to this site on this date. I like you love my son so so so much and I wish I had alittle bit of your strength and faith to deal with my son disease. You are such a wonderful mother and your journal has reminded me of how presious life is, I cant not wait to go home and hug and kiss and tell my children how much I love them. I hope your angel Wesley tells our father in heaven to send some love and angels our way. Happy B day for you Wesley.

Wesley, it is so hard to believe it has been three years. You left a big hole in the hearts of those who love you. I am so glad that we have a Saviour who holds us safely in His hands. I just wanted to stop and and let you know that I never will forget you. Next week is going to be so hard for your Momma. I pray God will send an extra bit of comfort to her just to remind her of how much He loves her and of the love the two of you have for eternity.

Hi Angie,
This is Laura Burns (RN - formerly G11) I often think of Wesley and your family. I keep you in my prayers and thought to try his site. I was happy to see you here. I wanted to pass something on to you. I traveled to Guatemala this summer with Compassion International. I have sponsored a little boy for 3 years now. He and his mom are now the proud owner's of one of Wesley's mustard seeds! I only had 2 and felt Wesley would love it that one traveled (with his story) all the way to Guatemala. Just want you to know that you are prayed for and have a permanent place in my heart and thoughts. You all were and are such loving examples of Christ and the strength we are given only through him. I can only imagine how much you miss Wesley. I find comfort in knowing we'll all be together worshiping one day.
God bless and keep you and yours.

I know this day has been hard for you all but I pray that Trenton had a great party. Please know that I have been thinking of you and wish I could have been there. I know that Wesley is proud of the way you continue to honor his memory. How wonderful to know that we will all be with him again one day.

He always made you feel like you were someone special to him, and he will always be missed. I love you so much, and keep all of your family in my prayers as you continue to heal.

I found this on Jacob Duckworth's website and wanted to share with you.
Valentines…to Heaven
This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.
It’s not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
It’s being sent to my child..., who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.
The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And it’s sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."
"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."
"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...?
For God to send the knowledge…so a cure we can find."
"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."
"Happy Valentines day sunshine...I miss you so much,
I know you know how many lives you have touched;
You'll always be mine...I love you with all my heart,
I know we be together again...and then we'll never part."
So you see the meaning is still the same...
The method of delivery is the only change;
Mine must be sent by a little white dove...
On the wings of Love.

Mrs. Angie, I just wanted to think you for the wonderful young man you raised. Wesley was a very special friend! He was so thoughtful and caring for other people. When he was over in Texas I was home going through knee surgries and everytime I would call him before I could ask how he was doing..He asked about me first. It was the worst day for me when he left us but it was the best day for him! He did his job that God had him do and it was time for him to go home! He has had the biggest impact in my life ever and I have you to thank for that! You did a super job in raisin him! I just wanted to let you know that! Love always Jessica....Wesley Shane not a day goes by that I don't think about you! I love you forever and always!

Wow I have not written on here in so long. Not a day passes that I amnot reminded of the wonderful things Wes and I got to experience. Life is so much harder now that he is gone. I can't believe that it has been a year since he's been gone. I find myself reliving that night often. I still beat myself up for leaving but jus being there made everything so much better. God put Wes in my life for a very special reason. I now know what that reason is. I am to tell eveyone about the wonderful things that Wes did. Everything reminds me of him. Mrs. Angie you have to be one of the strongest and most Godly people I know. I always told Wes that he was my role model and he would always tell me to thank his mama because you were his role model. I love you and your family so much and I am so blessed that God allowed to become a very special part of your family.

Who would know what the Twilight Pageant would bring into our life? Most people would say yes if your child wins you will get a crown, trophy, and a banner. For most that is what they get, but for me and my child we have got so much more . We are very blessed they we have the chance to represent the Little Miss Twilight title . How could we ever know how much this could bring to us if your not sure to whom I am talking about let me tell you a lady that has a big smile on her face every time you see her ,a lady that never is down on life that always has a positive attitude, someone that if you ever need her that all you have to do is pick up the phone and she is there. For this lady has already had a long and hard journey she will not let the journey end . This lady is so amazing that if you do not know her and what she is about you are missing out on a lot, for I have only knew this lady for a couple a months she has open her heart and I fell like that I have talk to her for years . I was not lucky enough to know her son but for just the few months that I have knew her she has told me a lot about her and her sons life and for that I thank her .. With people like Angie Adams we will have a cure for this awful disease one day .This lady is amazing person and I think God that she has been put into my life .We love you Angie

Angie,
I remember following Wesley's website while my daughter, Dinah, was at MDA - I can picture sitting on my "murphy bed" reading your updates, watching and praying, saddened that he was "going home". My daughters visited Wesley with Graden's mom, Lisa, a couple of times on the 11th floor. I'm glad they got to meet him. I've continued to check in on you - always being blessed by your heart and soul - allowing us to laugh, cry, and remember with you. Waves of emotions are constantly there, aren't they? Sometimes you see them, sometimes you don't. But they are still there. And yes, God is good, all the time. So very, very good. To show mercy, give grace, bring peace.
Thank you for continuing to update -

For so long I prayed daily for Wesley's health and complete healing of leukemia. I prayed for him to have a normal future.
Then after his passing I prayed for peace and comfort for you and the family that aches for him.
Now I'm going to pray for you to continue to have the courage and strength to fight against the leukemia battles that others face and that you may do many wonderful and seemingly impossible things in Wesley's memory. To God goes all the glory.
Love,

I totally understand all the ups and downs your were talking about, but you have kept your eyes on your Heavenly father and he is lovingly keeping you in His strong wonderful arms. You know, Angie, you have the peace in knowing where Wesley is now. He is so very happy in Heaven with our Lord. Wesley will always be with us and we will always love and remember all the terrific things about him. I will always remember all the fish he supposedly caught in the stream. He really thought he had pulled one over on us. I will always remember that beautiful smile that just made you feel better. There is just so much about him I loved. He is so proud of his Mama. We are all so proud of you and we love you so much. And I know God is smiling down at you with His love. I know this has been a hard year for you, but you are such a role model for everyone. I wish I could have been more like you when I lost my Jeff. You have got to write a book one day. I love you! Aunt Faye

You are so strong and incredibly inspiring. Wesley must be so proud of his wonderful mom as he smiles down on you from heaven. I can't imagine the feelings you've experienced in the last few years but I'm amazed by the incredible faith you have. You are truly an example of a Godly woman that I could only hope to be 1/2 that.
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. And Friends of Allie will be walking proudly in memory of your wonderful son. Super big hugs to your whole family!!!

You deserve to be so proud of him - I think that is a much more important legacy than anything he could have done as President!
Yesterday, at church we sang "I Can Only Imagine" and I thought of Wesley....when I get to Heaven I want to hear Wesley tell me what it was like for him to meet his Heavenly Father...I have to think for Wesley he was 'dancing with joy!'
Love to all of you!

Although a year has passed, each day doesn't get easier. I miss you so much Wes and not a day goes by that I don't replay in my head you saying "I love you sissy". I love you so much Wes. Addison tells you every night "I love you bubba, night night bubba". You told me to not let him forget you and i never will. Ally will know all about you to. You will always be in our hearts!

You and your family are never far from my thoughts or prayers. As I often do,I will be wearing my mustard seed tomorrow, and will think of Wesley's message. Even though I didn't know Wesley, his faith, strength, and love of God has helped me through a lot. It has helped me go out and live my dreams of going back to school. In the Spring, God-willing, I will be in Nursing school.
I have been a volunteer at M.D. Anderson for over a year now. I wear a mustard seed on my badge. Whenever anyone asks, I tell them about Wesley. I wasn't a volunteer when Wesley was at M.D. Anderson, but when I give coffee to a patient or smile at a patient, I feel a bit like I am helping Wesley.
Thank you for sharing his story with everyone. It has meant more to me then you could possibly know. God bless all of you.

Dear Angie,
Wow, what a great thing you did with Miss Twilight. I wanted to tell you we had a great time and felt so honored that you shared with us Wesley's curio and other things. It felt surreal to stand at his grave and realize he is not there he is in Heaven. Just like the story of the Dr. that wanted Wesley to check on his child, if it is in God's plan for me to go first I will Tell Wesley about all the amazing things his "Momma" has been up to. I love you and your family so much and the pageant was a big hit.
Love,

I justed wanted to take the time to let you know how much knowing Wesley has meant to me. So often as adults, we think about how we are role models to teenagers. In truth, Wesley was the role model to me. Through his graceful example, he showed me how to live my life as a better person--more grateful, more humble, and ever faithful. Thank you again for sharing your son with us. I will never forget Wesley.

Sending you very special thoughts today.....Tiff posted a beautiful post on the FOA board! Wesley's faith taught me so much - I am so thankful that he came into my life. I look at the youth at my church and wonder how truly deep is their faith? To be so mature spiritually like Wesley - what a gift! I hope to someday soon share Wesley's 'mustard seed' with them. While Wesley is not physically with us - he is still a VERY STRONG presence to all of those who "know" him........

Angie, I wanted to let you know how great it was to meet you and your family in Troy last week, I feel like we were one family, it's odd that we were able to meet so soon after contacting each other, GOD sure works wonders doesn't he? I talked to Jeff yesterday, he said to give you and your family his best wishes, he is going out on a 3 month cruise soon, please remember him and all our military family in your prayers. Please tell Michael that I wish we could have met, but we will meet at a later date. The young people from Rochester College thanks you for the mustard seeds in Wesleys memory. The short time we spent talking will always stay with me, my wife was glad the she was able to talk to you also.
Please take care and always know that Wesley and your family will be in our constant prayers.

I miss you. I was looking at our photos of last Mother's day and I can not control the tears. Remember the flood, the stuff Parker and Wesley did and I will never forget your prank with Kathy. I love you and miss you. I know I have been distant lately. Please know that I am just going through a rough spot and I just can't find the words. The one word that will always come to mind when I say your name or Wesley's is I LOVE YOU!
You are a Mother for us all to learn from. You raised the most amazing son that valued his Momma and other Mother's around him. He had respect, courtesy and generosity. I think a Mother's greatest gift is to be complimented about the awesome child they have raised. You, my friend did your job beyond expectations. Trenton and Amber are as wonderful as Wesley and I know they realise how blessed they are to have you as their Mother, their spiritual guide and their friend. You are a gift to all that know you.
I love you my friend today and always.

Hi Angie. Your post was beautiful, especially the emails you shared from Wesley's bone marrow donor. I had tears in my eyes while reading those. I think of you often and hope that you are doing as best as you can. As I read your post and at the same time was putting Sam down to sleep (yes, I had the baby! Sam is now 8 weeks old and I am just in love with him), I thought of when I first told you I was pregnant. I had come to visit you and Wes at MDA and apparently we were making too much noise talking and giggling b/c Wes told us "to be quiet"! It was too precious, and literally impossible to do : ). Take care my friend.

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon
come out of the operating room. She said: "How is
my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can
I see him?"
The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could,
but your boy didn't make it."
Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer?
Doesn't God care any more? Where were you,
God, when my son needed you?"
The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time
alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out
in a few minutes, before he's transported to the
university."
Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she
said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly
through his thick red curly hair.
"Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse
asked.
Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the
boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to
Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to
donate his body to the University for Study. He
said it might help somebody else. "I said no at
first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after
I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend
one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My
Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of
someone else. Always wanting to help others if he
could."
Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for
the last time, after spending most of the last six
months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's
belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The
drive home was difficult. It was even harder to
enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings,
and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her
son's room. She started placing the model cars
and other personal things back in his room exactly
where he had always kept them. She laid down
across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried
herself to sleep.
It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying
beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The
letter said:
"Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but
don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop
loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say I LOVE
YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with
each day. Someday we will see each other again.
Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you
won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can
have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you
decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't
like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy
her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be
sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place.
Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got
here and showed me around some, but it will take
a long time to see everything. The angels are so
cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know
what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures.
Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus
himself took me to see GOD! And guess what,
Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him,
like I was somebody important. That's when I told
Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you
good-bye and everything. But I already knew that
wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God
handed me some paper and His own personal pen
to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name
of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to
you. God said for me to give you the answer to
one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He
when I needed him?' "God said He was in the
same place with me, as when His son Jesus was
on the cross. He was right there, as He always is
with all His children.
Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what
I've written except you. To everyone else this is
just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have
to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write
some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I
get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm,
sure the food will be great.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore.
The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't
stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to
see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent
The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel
said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?
Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.
(Let's see Satan stop this one.) Take 60-seconds
and repost this, within the hour, you will have
caused a multitude of believers to pray to God for
each other. Then sit back and feel the Holy Spirit
work in your life for doing what you know God
loves "When you're down to nothing, God is up to
something.?

Hey Mrs. Angie,
I want you to know that I too think about Wesley every day of the week. The other day I swear I saw Wesley's face in a Traffic light the other day. I was thinking about him and all of a sudden there he was. In the traffic light plain as day. I road down the circle and cried my eyes out. Everyday I miss the long talks we had at night and the wierd cravings he always had. I even catch myself tryin to call his cell phone when I am scared or upset or bored. He was always there for support and knew exactly what to say at the right time. Wesley was my first true love and he forever holds a place in my heart that noone can feel. I find it hard to go to his graveside but I find myself going as often as I can jus to sit and update him on my life. I foind this picture the other day and I want you to see it.
O also I wanted to tell you about my dream the other day. I was asleep and there was this white room. Wesley, Paw Paw (my grandaddy), Uncle Fred (my Paw Paw's brother and my favorite Great Uncle), and William (my mom's brother who died at age 5 from Polio a year before the vaccine came out)were all sitting at a table. I walked into the room and they all looked at me. I told them I wanted to stay and talk for a little while and Wesley told me that they could talk for a little while but that they were all going fishing. You see one of my fondest memory of my Paw Paw and Uncle Fred was going fishing with them in Florida and cleaning the fish in their backyard. I jus knew that Wesley would show them a thing or 2 about fishing because as you know he was the "master" and he always had some way to make sitting there all day more fun. Well I am gonna go and I am sending you an invitation graduation. It wouldn't be graduation unless all my family was there. I love you all.<3 Always

The same weekend that Neil passed away, we lost 3 other of our precious kids at MDA. I admire what you're going to do to help other families. God will equip you to do this job because he's called you to do it. And you know these families really need support. God will surely bless your ministry.

"God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.
Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm, sure the food will be great.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?
Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

Hey Mrs. Angie and family,
Wow I never thought it would be this hard to come back and see all these wonderful pictures. I was going through my bible the other day and I found a piece of paper that Wesley had written "I Love You" on. I sat in my car and jus cried for about 30 minutes. Wesley has influenced my life in ways you cannot imagine. I wear my necklace everyday. At least once a day someone makes a comment about it or asks about it and that is my chance to tell them of all the wonderful things Wesley has done for me and my family. Wesley is not gone. I will have to let you read some of the poems my kids in my section wrote me a few days after he died. In one of the poems it says " Wesley is not gone. He has jus won the best seats in the house for every Auburn football game." I keep that memory of Wes and his Auburn hat with me where ever I go. You are an inspiration to so many and I thank you all for allowing me to be a part of your family. Wes will always be my first true love and I will love him forever no matter what.
<3 Always
Jessica

Angie,
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. I'm sure Wesley is smiling down on little Allison. She will be in my prayers since I heard she was have a little bit of a rough start. Lots of babies have problems breathing at first so I would try not to worry too much but I know that's easier said than done. Give Amber my congrats and a big FOA cyber hug.
