God love you. My son is on caring bridge and I got a link for a prayer circle which brought me to your page. I am actually sitting at work crying after reading your entries. Please know that your family and especially your little guys are in my prayers. You are so strong, I don't know how you do it.

Amy,
I am so sorry to hear about Keegan's difficulties. I hope that the hospital helps him out quickly and that things improve soon. As the mom of a child with bipolar, adhd, tourettes, and OCD, I feel your helplessness.
Hang in there!

P.S The tattoos are so precious!

Keep your head up sweetie. I'm a single mom of 4 boys, 2 of which are a.d.d./o.d.d. who have both been in and out of mental facilities. One was in for over 3 years! I know it's hard and so easy to blame yourself as a parent but it will get better. My 19 year old is now off all meds, has been in a stable relationship for over two years and just gave me my first grandchild (even if I wasn't quite ready for that at 41)! My 16 year old is gradually weaning off most of his meds and fuctioning great. Now I just have the 7 year old to worry about (oh no, not again - lol). Anyway, have a wonderful week! You're family is always in my prayers.

I don't get a chance to sign in often enough and am so sorry for that. I just have to say those have to be the most beautiful tatooes I have ever seen. It truly looks like he was just fingerpainting and grabbed ahold of you. So beautiful! My prayers remain with your amazing family; thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Those beautiful eyes of Benny's captured my heart at first glance of his pictures probably two years ago when I started following his site. I read your words and my heart aches for you...knowing that it is only a fraction of the pain that you must feel and I can not even begin to imagine that. My continued prayers for you and your family.

Just another Benny "stalker" checking in. I, too, read your website quite often, but have never signed in.
I have had a bad back for 10 years and thought you might like a trick that works for me -- fill a tube sock with Minute rice. Stick in the microwave for 2 minutes. The rice helps to create "moist" heat which feels absolutely wonderful. Good luck to you. Our prayers continue for your family.

OMG Amy that is amazing.
I remembered how happy you said Benny was when he first got to hold Ami, I went back to June 15 2006 in your journal and you said ". We hadn't seen Benny truly happy in awhile, but the baby brought him some much needed happiness and we got the pleasure of watching Benny hold and smile at Ami while he rubbed his arm and asked questions. Benny kept saying that he could never get tired of holding him because his skin was so soft." Now you know that Benny is holding him always.
What an awesome sign he has shown you.
Love always,
Kylie.

His courage and strength is an inspiration to us all.And Amy, you're such a wonderful mom, and my heart breaks for your loss.Thank you for sharing Benny's story. 1000 hugs for you and your sweet boys, they're such a blessing!

When you say "I miss him completely."...WOW...that phrase says it all. I continue to hold your family close. This Friday is the Relay for Life walk that I found sweet Benny's luminaria bag at last year. My kids and I will be walking again this year and I will be thinking of your Benny and way too many other kiddos who spent their short lives here on earth fighting to live, fighting the beast called cancer.
Benny, oh so sweet Benny~
Please visit your family in their dreams and please send them some special signs......they need to feel your presence, your peace. My daughter has the softest pink pig and a fuzzy pink bed comforter and pillow...I think of you often when I walk in her room!

I agree, Cancer sucks, no one should have to go thru the pain and agony of watching their beautiful child be devoured by this beast. It's not fair, please allow your self to get mad, scream, beat up some pillows or maybe get a baseball bat and beat the s@#t out of something, metal garbage cans work well as they dent and make a lot of noise. I am keeping you in my prayers as I know the pain an anniversary date brings. Be gentle with your self.
God bless. Susan

Amy: Don't fret about a miscalculation! Just think of the good that will come for all of your efforts! Every drop in the bucket contributes to overflowing it. Your contribution was well beyond a "drop"--more like a tidal wave! After reading some of the comments in this journal and seeing where they are coming from--worldwide!--it's amazing to feel the comradery that's there. (What a ploy for world peace if everyone would connect with this common bond!) So you see, your efforts are fantastic and extremely successful in many more ways than one! As Frank's old Navy unit would say, "Hooyah!"

Oh stinky feet, monkey toes....I miss you! I miss watching those cool Barbie movies with you and getting excited at Wal-mart cuz they had one you hadn't seen yet. I miss bringing you chinese noodles and sharing my chocolate extreme blizzard with you...we always shared that love for chocolate. Everytime I smell syrup I think of you. I took your brothers to breakfast awhile ago when they spent the night...Conrad takes after you and wanted lots of syrup. We missed you, as always. The pink Hungry Hippo didn't eat as fast and Jeremiah got fustrated when Conrad kept knocking over his Army forts & I don't make as cool of shooting sounds. I was a little more strict with the sliding down the stairs. Conrad would have gotten a little too wild I think. He fell into the water at the park & I still think you were there to witness that. I could hear you..."Conrad, you're going to fall in...be careful Conrad" I miss sleeping in your bed when you were on Benny Island with your mom and dad, but I still sleep with your fuzzy pink pillow and blanket. I miss pouring you milk with ice. I miss everything about you. I have to agree with your momma. I feel a lot better now that I wrote you. Your mom's the coolest. I'm so glad you decided to share her with me. She's the best friend I could ever ask for. I wish I could be there to help her with the Lemonade stand. I will be there for your Birthday though....I wouldn't miss that for anything. I wonder what kind of cake you want this year? You better tell me or I'm going to have to guess and then it just wont be right. How about white cake with chocolate icing :) I know you are there watching over the wild petz house, so please send them extra lovin for me. I love them so much. I am so lucky we met Benny. Thank you for being my friend. I love you. I am ok, just have tears cuz I needed to release those happy chemicals. I just miss you...

Hello Amy and Derick
Been a while since I have said hello:O) Sorry school is keeping me really busy. I do stop by and read your updates all the time. Its soo nice that you keep the toy chest stocked MJ just picked out the pretty Barbie in purple that you droped off! Kyle saw the pink pig on it and asked how Jeremiah was doing. Maybe he would be up for another play date, we could meet somewhere. The kids are all growing up so quickly Ami is so adorable, but then all your kids are.
Well I think of you all often and pray for you more:O)
Much love to all of you!

I know honest I do. The loss of one child is loss of all your kids. For a good reason the healthy kids are put a side for a year or two or three. You got no time to pay them any attention because the sick one takes up all your time & energy too. They learn to fix for themself and do things on their own because mom and dad have no time. They feel jelous, sad, guilty and mad about the sick one getting all the attention. My doctor said they are lost in the forest almost with nobody to help. Then when the sick one die it gets worse because they feel more quilty and mom and dad jsut cry and cry and cry. The sad never goes away but neither do the other kids they still a side waiting. In five years you dont know the kids and they dont know you no more. It dont matter how hard you try your best because your heart will always be very sad. There hearts will always be sad. Everybody always feel alone now. Some time I get mad when my kids laugh besause it make me sad and that just dont make no sence but it the truth. Nobody can ever make your heart real happy again and your other kids know that. Nobody can make your kids hearts happy neither. The rest of all our life we all be sad and I wonder how many family cancer has runt. You keep doing what you got to do to make your family whole again and I hope you do better then I did. I wish for you only the best and peace in all your heart for ever. Marcus lee

Amy, your entry made my day. Just goes to show you how SHALLOW I can be. :)
Of course you are all having a tough time! How could it be any other way? I am not surprised Keegan is having issues; he's a teenager after all. Jeremiah is still mourning the loss of his best friend I am sure.
There is nothing else to do what keep on keeping on, is there?

Hi guys,
Sorry you are having a bad week. They suck, I know. We have them too. I have read some on grief with kids...I need to read more but it makes me sad and makes me feel even more guilty, but the thing that sticks with me and I have to keep educating teachers on is that kids will grieve differently for every year they turn a different age. Sometimes rebellion, sometimes bad grades and on and on. If we only had the crystal ball...We took Beau to a counselor again last week and haven't heard any results but his principal thinks he might have depression...after seeing his answers to the counselor questions...I think so to. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone...we are tredging through it to. Everytime I see the purple/pink sky, I think of Benny too. Hugs all around.
Angel Gage's Mom,
Heather

I don't know if I ever wrote to you about making a Benny bear for you guys but I would be honored if you have something you want of his made into a bear to hug.

Great pictures! Ami is so cute (all your kids are!) and getting so big. I'm glad to see your family is coping well and making time for happiness and joy, even through your grief and tears. I think of Benny and his sweet smile often.

I love reading the updates on your boys and see how you're doing. Ami is starting to look more and more like Benny to me. He is just way too cute just like his big brother angel Benny.. and well all of your kids are cute! I know i'm late but Happy 14th Birthday Keegan! I'm going to try to get a card or something out to your boys soon since I read about Jeremia being upset recently. I never thought I could hate something as much as I hate cancer, especially pediatric cancer, we need cures.. now! These research funding cuts are totally unacceptable.
Thinking of you all and praying for your much needed comfort as you have a big hole in your lives where Benny should physically be! Stay Strong!
