Letting Go

The angels gathered near your bed so very close to you
For they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through

I thought about so many things; as I held tightly to your hand Oh How I wished you were strong and happy again

But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky Where Jesus held his outstretched arms it was time to say good-bye

I stuggled with my selfish thoughts for I wanted you to stay So we could walk and talk again Like we did just yesterday

But Jesus knew the answer And I knew he loved you so So I gave to you life's greatest gift
The Gift of Letting Go

Now my heart will carry memories Of the love you gave to me Until we meet againin Heaven Where the best is yet to be

Please pray for this family-they lost their son a couple days ago due to cancer also.

Remember-September is Childhood Cancer awareness month!! Lets see those gold ribbons.

This Sat we are holding our annual Lemondade Stand in memory of Mason but to raise money for research for childhood cancer. Way to many kids have lost their life to this and they need our help!! Please stop by at our city park this Saturday!!

Asia had a WONDERFUL time at camp. It was the big 5 years now she has been attending-if you ever have the want to donate "Heart Connection" would be a great organization to donate to.






This picture makes me think of mainly our stay/stays at the "black hospital" Our extended stay when Mason had transplant back in June. Never forget the actual transplant day-June 13. A good friends Birthday-A day a friends child was brought into the world-a day that we prayed would be a "new begining" for Mason. After all the pain he went through just makes me so sick....the long days, the sleepless nights, the accidents in the middle of the night, the low energy levels, the beautiful days of summer that he had to stay in and just look out, but it wasnt all bad painful memories during that stay. There was some, alot, of happy times. Like when he got to watch our nurse dance around the room so some funny chicken song we played to get an upbeat in the day, the mail/cards Mason got (he loved that) Especially the pull-tabs. The movies-they played all day somedays. One of his favorites-SPIRIT and the one with the monkey and the boy he favorite part where he honks the horn and pushes his nose. He would laugh everytime!! He loved it when Kristan would come and do music therapy-and Kathy would come to fun stuff too. So It wasnt all bad but the painfull ones hurt.

I always wonder about his friends "Kayla-Fond-Fetta. Where they angels? Were they really with him? I know Kayla was the first one. I will never forget the day he told me of Kayla. He was in the kitchen and I said something and he said no, but Kayla does. I said "Who is Kalya?" Mason says "Oh, just a friend" He ALWAYS related back to this name from there. Then, Fonda and Fetta came into the picture. Whenever we would be driving in the car we would pass a house or something and Mason would say "Kayla lives there and point" Lets just say Kayla lived in alot of places! I asked Mason once what Kayla looked like and he said a boy like me. I will never forget sitting at the races (watching Shanes friend) and Mason told us (me and the racers wife) that Kayla was in the race car with Tony. Wow- these were powerful-and even now they are. I will always wonder what Mason saw-felt-knew what I couldnt.

When I think of Mason I get a mixture of feelings-depends on the day,time, moment and what the memory is. With the knew baby in the family now, Carter, I remember "baby moments" with Mason. How he always smiled when a particular bear on the mobile came around, the every 2 hour feeding, the creek in the floor in his room you wanted to miss so you wouldnt wake him after putting him down, the bath days with the "smelly" we had to put on to smell good like dad. (we put some in his casket so he would always have some smelly) just like dad.

Mason was a one of a kind Mason for sure!! Never ever will there be another one!! We love you Mason and we know that there is a promise that we will get to see you again and hold you so tight. What a day that will be and when it comes it will be forever and ever...........
