Blessed Father's Day
For Fatherly Guidance

Lord God, author of all wisdom,
Teach me how to do my work as a father according to your will.
Enlighten my mind that I may understand what to tell my children when it is necessary to give them direction or advice.
Give me good judgment to understand true spiritual values and to guide my family in your ways.
The world makes little of your wisdom and is not instructed in your ways, and close contact with the world makes it easy to become dulled to the things of solid spiritual worth.
Be my guide at all times, that I may be a true father and husband, sensitive always to the divine wisdom that only you can impart.
God, by the light of the Holy Spirit you instruct the hearts of your faithful.
Grant that I may be truly wise and ever enjoy his consolation, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Praying for you,
Barb, John, Shawn,

HAPPY 3rd RE-BIRTHDAY SPENCER! We understand our Shannon's 5th MUD BMT is this 7-30!!!

“Love...It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.”
(1 Corinthians 13:7)

Hope you have a blessed Mother's Day!


A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

~Helen Steiner Rice~

Jelly beans & Jesus

Have you heard the story of the jelly beans?

Little jelly beans
Tell a story true.
A tale of our Father's love
That's just for me and you.

GREEN is for the new spring grass.
YELLOW is for the sun above.
BROWN is for the soft earth where
People sat hearing of HIS love.

PURPLE'S for the robe he wore
RED is for that precious wine.
BLACK is for the sins He washed
From your soul and mine.

BLUE'S for the sadness of
HIS friends and family,
and is for the glory of the Day
HE rose for you and me.

Now that you've heard the story
You know what each color means.
The story of our Father's love
As told by jelly beans.
So when you see jelly beans on this Easter season,
stop and remember,
Jesus is the reason!


"For God so loved the world, He gave His One and Only Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

Hi You Guys!

Thanks for your nice note about us in your journal, and your support, which we know is always there. THANK YOU! Noah is holding his lightsaber right now, and says 'May the Force be with You!' to all of you. So exciting to hear about your mediport removal coming up...we are hoping Dr. K may approve an upcoming line removal for mediport input soon...as soon as we get some tests back. Keep sharing the wonderful news, and congrats on enjoying skiing, fun, and great days with your amazing little man!

Love to you all,

May the sun shine warm

And the rain fall soft
upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you

We have a new training building and we're down there playing a lot. It's the old Rod and Reel building--I'm sure your dad knows where it is. IF you ever see the fire truck there, stop by and say hi.

Dearest Caserio Family,

Once again, I must say how good it was to meet you and how much we enjoy reading how you're doing! Noah still loves to play with the wooden vegetables, cutting them with the wooden knife and everything. You're an inspiration to us! Thank you for wishing Noah well and sending prayers our way - Noah LOVES being home and for the most part, he just shoots me a worried look when we make our daily way into clinic. But then he is joyous when we go back home. We're wishing you a WONDERFUL DAY today, a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a happy, healthy NEW YEAR full of health, family, friends and fun. Here's to Spencer, to normal life, and to his inspirational recovery!!! Keep posting and tell us about normal little kid days! It gives us hope, smiles and joy. With much love,

Hi Guys - I've been waiting for an update since we can't seem to connect via the phone. No more meds...that is so awesome!!! I can't believe all the fun you're having either. If you fly back into OC stop by and say Hi on your way home :-) Have fun with Mickey.

WoW!! I was coming back from the S.F. marathon and Lex called and said, "Call Spencer because Jimmie just WON the race!!" I tried to call but for some reason I couldn't get the call to go through. That is sooooo exciting that you got to go to the race. I think for sure you are the good luck charm!!

I hope you have a great check at Duke and a safe trip back home.

Hi Spencer, How exciting for you to go to the race. I am a big Jr. fan, but guess what I have to put in my front yard for Christmas? A Jimmy Johnson lowes car with santa climbing out the window and elves gassing the car and changing the tires. I think your Mom and Dad might need to make a trip to the local Lowe's Store. I'm so glad that you are feeling good. And just for you I'll say "Go Jimmy".

Hey Rocket Dude!
I hope you are back to school now...and getting ready for Halloween! Will you be here or in NC for Halloween?

Ali is coming up next weekend. It will be fun to see her and not to have to drive to get her...her boyfriend is driving her here and back!

Nolan is playing soccer and is now goalie...he hates playing goalie but the team goalie broke his jaw in the District Cup torunament last weekend and now Nolan is it.

Hope to see you soon,

Howdy Rocket Boy and Caserio Clan, Greetings from the Sierras. I played my 3rd round of golf ever this week. No chance of me ever committing resources or time to this diversion. I was forced to Golf for work. There is snow in the forecast for the next 2 days. The wind blew like stink today. I hope to sail the mighty mud hole in Bishop on Thursday. I think I'm going to be too well to work and need to declare a well day. We just had the last 2 days off. I went to the dump today in Bishop to get rid of construction trash. There were big loaders and dozers moving dirt and trash in the wind. The wind won, everything went flying. What a dusty mess, only in Bishop. The fall colors are going off, the snow is coming. What are you planning for Halloween? Happy October. Be well and stay clear of kids with mumps. Thanks for sharing your updates. Aloha, Mammoth Medove's

Hi guys! Is there such a thing as having too much fun?! Nah! I just love the pictures! Sorry about the mumps business --always something to put a kink in parents plans to get things done (while kids are in school)! Isaiah has already missed about 50% of the school year -- hope that percentage goes way down soon! Too bad we will miss you at the end of the month at Duke. Have a great week.

Hi Spencer and family! I was thinking about you guys around Labor Day when I first met you...and just came by to check in. Glad to hear things are going so well...minus the school hiccups. Hopefully that all gets resolved. Darn immunizations! Spencer looks wonderful...and just so darn cute! All is well here in SF - I'm still working/going to school up here and expecting a little boy the beginning of November. I still think of you guys often and wish you all the best! Take care...

I love the stories about golfing...there is no stopping this kid...and isn't that great!!!! Yes...post transplant and trying to find a ''normal'' just doesn't mix at times...but the blessings far outweigh the other side of the coin. I'm so blessed in my heart for your family...sending many wishes for continued ''good-times''.

It's been a while since I've visited, I'm glad to see how Spencer is thriving, and can't get over how BIG and TALL he has gotten!! Sure not the same little steroid-cheeked guy that he was many moons ago.

Sorry to hear about school and the mumps. Who the heck gets the mumps these days?! I didn't even know anyone did. Hope you'll get your trip to Duke out of the way so that Spencer can go back to school as soon as he gets the all clear.

Lots of love,

Hi Spencer!
I'm a bank officer at RBC Centura Bank - located mainly in North Carolina but also has branch offices as far west as the Atlanta, Georgia area where my family and I live.

Your story makes me (some) sad and (mostly) glad: sad because it hurts to read of any children with difficult health problems like yours, but I am VERY HAPPY to hear of how you are doing so well now. My prayer is that God will continue to smile down on you not only with His love (which he ALWAYS does - in good and difficult/bad health) but with the blessing of continue and increasing good health.

I had to have open heart surgery when I was 16 due to having a bad heart murmur. That was almost 40 years ago when heart surgery was not nearly as good as it is today.

It's neat you like NASCAR so much and got to meet a pro driver! It reminded me of about 7-8 years ago when my family was on vacation in South Daytona Beach, Florida, and we met Sterling Marlin at the place we were staying at. He was nice enough to give us his autograph!

Take good care good buddy, and ALWAYS know that God loves you right with your Mom, Dad, and greater family!

Howdy Rocket Boy, Greetings from Mammoth. Glad you are all having a super good summer. Keep on swimming and Boogiein. Stoked to hear of your adventures as we are a bit deprived of the escape factor.

Hi y'all ~
Good to talk to you recently Kerri!
I was really sorry to hear about the fire in the truck and that you lost all that gear. Glad there wasn't damage to the truck --but I know that it's still "another thing to deal with".
On the bright side --your little guy sure is a swimmer --what great strides he has made!! (Not to mention his transplant recovery!!) Wow --jumping off the big board and then riding the waves too!! Impressive. Well, enjoy the last days of summer vacation.

Hey Bubba. Glad to hear things are going so well for you. Was there any doubt they would? (not from us, anyway). Hey I wanted you to know you were my inspiration to help my puppy beat cancer this winter. He just completed his last chemo treatment and is totally cancer free. His name is Nicoya--he's my six year old rotweiller and he's my best friend. Dr O in Cambria diagnosed him with bone cancer in January and I was told I'd have about three more months with him until the pain from the tumor became too much. Knowing a little bit about miracles and beating the odds and what putting up a good fight can do for you, I took him to the Vet Center at Cal Poly. They took tremendous care of him and hooked me up with the leading dog oncologist in the country down in Escondido. We visited him on February 14th, and the next morning he amputated Nicoya's front leg. The doc said he's got a good chance if he's a fighter, so we started him on a long list of medications and chemotherapy treatments. We've been driving back and forth to Escondido and chemo at Cal Poly and have had a ton of help from friends while I'm at the fire station. On Wednesday the doc declared him cancer free. He looks kinda funny running around on three legs but he still goes to the beach and chases rocks every day. He can run just as fast and seems very happy that he's still around. Like I said he's my best friend--he's my family. I'm not sure that if I hadn't met you and watched you fight I would have had faith in Nicoya getting better and taking this on. Thanks buddy.

Looking forward to seeing you boogy boarding at Moonstone soon.

Take care, Captain Mike

Woohooo!
Sending prayers that the medicine works and your ear stays all better. Madie had lots of "ear" problems, so I know how yukky it can make you feel. She had to wear ear plugs each time she got in the pool, tub, or washed her hair from age 1.5 to 6! Yuk!

Hey Big Man: Glad you're doing so well. The Carolina Hurricanes just won the Stanley Cup. I know you're not a hockey fan yet, but you ARE a fan of Carolina, right? Anyway, we're gearing up for wildland fire season here at the station. We're gonna do some wildfire training early next month, possibly on the East West Ranch. We won't be able to light anything on fire, but we'll be stretching hose and squirting water and running around with our hands in the air screaming. I'll let your dad know when we'll be out there; it'd be great to have you come by training if you get a chance. Say hi to dad and mom for us. MG

Hi Spencer! Oh no, are we late for the party!? Well HAPPY RE-BIRTHDAY a day late. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! You're not skiing are you? If not, perhaps you're having fun doing something else!

Can it be a year since we saw you at Duke? Wish we could have all met up again! BTW --we are scheduled to be there the 30th of this month. Any chance you will be down during that time? On June 4 I drop Isaiah off at camp. Sure would be great to see you!

Hi Spencer,
A very happy re-birthday to you! I can't believe two years have gone by. I'm so glad all is going well for you and your Mom and Dad. It sounds like you are a better skier than I am. Let us know the next time you are at Stanford and we'll try to come by and say "hi".
All the best,

How SUPER..Happy Re-Birth day. To say this milestone in your journey is incredible is understated by far! I'm so thrilled for your family and pray for great family adventures ahead. I'm also gald to hear they captured the thieves that broke into your home. They can never be punished equally enough for an invasion at such a delicate time in your lives. We shall continue to pray for many blessings in your lives going forward.

Wonderful update on Spencer Rocket and well worth the wait! My son Chase 5 1/2, lost both his front teeth already and tell Spencer the tooth fairy leaves a 5 spot for big front ones!
It's hard to believe that two years have passed since I saw your picture in The Cambrian at transplant time. It is so joyful to see him now, skiing happily and smiling.

Jelly beans & Jesus

Have you heard the story of the jelly beans?

Little jelly beans
Tell a story true.
A tale of our Father's love
That's just for me and you.

GREEN is for the new spring grass.
YELLOW is for the sun above.
BROWN is for the soft earth where
People sat hearing of HIS love.

PURPLE'S for the robe he wore
RED is for that precious wine.
BLACK is for the sins He washed
From your soul and mine.

BLUE'S for the sadness of
HIS friends and family,
and is for the glory of the Day
HE rose for you and me.

Now that you've heard the story
You know what each color means.
The story of our Father's love
As told by jelly beans.
So when you see jelly beans on this Easter season,
stop and remember,
Jesus is the reason!





"For God so loved the world, He gave His One and Only Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

Wishing you and yours Easter Blessing's

Hey rocketman and family so nice to read all the good news except the wean of the meds thing. You will make to that point soon I am sure of it. As of March 14th Meguire is completely medicine free except daily vitamins and calcium but guess what spencer Meguire had to get new glasses and he picked blue storm power ranger glasses although he don't like wearing them he needs them I am trying to get his daddy to take some pictures to post them on his website but, he does have a picture on there of his new bike and helmet courtesy of cody's wheels of hope. So go and check it out. Have a wonderful month and so glad to see how well you are doing I check in on you often just because you have a special little place in my heart because meguire looked just like you after his transplant and that was so amazing to me. Have a great week.

THE JELLY BEAN PRAYER

Red is for the blood He gave.
Yellow is for His son so bright.
Black is for the sins we made.
Purple is for His hours of sorrow.
Green is for the grass He made.
Orange is for the moon at night.
White is for the grace He gave.
Pink is for our new tomorrow.

A bag full of jellybeans,
Colorful & sweet,
Is a prayer, Is a promise, Is a small treat.
Remember Jesus when you eat the jellybeans.


Praying for you,

Hey Rocketman! Sorry we missed you at your last clinic visit! When do you come up next? Ali is coming up on St. Patrick's Day for spring break and her b-day....and her last spinal.

Glad to hear you have been skiing a lot...wow! You are in awesome shape! We didn't ski this last week off because we didn't want any injuries, but on the last day of our week off I managed to break Nolan's arm anyway...just in time for basketball playoffs and All Stars! 1 year and 4 days from the last break and the 5th broken arm in 14 years :(

And until we meet again,
May God hold you
in the palm of his hand.

Hello Caserio Clan, Rough life Brian! Sounds beautiful, we have been to the US Virgin Islands and I know the British are suppose to be even more spectacular! It is so nice to read so little these days. That is simply a sign of life getting better and more normal! Sounds like Spencer is still improving with each day and that is what we pray for. Single parenting is never easy Keri, but a good time to appreciate the other half huh?! Glad you will all be back together soon! Maybe we will see a photo or two of the islands? Anyway, I hope you all have a terrific Valentines Day. With that adorable face, Spencer will probably get all kinds of "Be My Valentine" cards from the girls at school! It starts early guys!:) Stay strong, Shanon

It's taken me a while to build up the courage to write this entry; simply because you don't know me. I want to say THANK YOU with all of my heart for being such a wonderful family. And Spencer I hope you don't mind that someone in NH has been following your story - you are a very brave, unbelieveably strong young man, that has taught myself and my family so much! My name is Amy Brown, my nephew Corey was diagnosed with T-Cell ALL on September 23, 2005. In a very late night (tear-filled) search session on the internet, trying to learn all I could, I found Spencer's story through the Side-Off site. Through which I then found the link to Caring Bridge. What a find! My nephew (who was 15 at the time)has a lot of friends and family to keep updated and receive support from, and without finding this, I am not sure what we would have done. Your education and description about ALL really taught me everything I needed to know to face the past 4 months (and beyond). Not to mention how uplifting it has been to see Spencer's smile. I just want you to know what a difference Mom & Dad and Spencer's smile have made for someone you don't know, and please accept a heartful Thank you again. Corey's site is http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/coreymcg if you should want to check it out. He is simply amazing as well, and doing wonderful! He is down to receiving one day doses of chemo. every 3-weeks (for the next 2 years) and will be going in for radiation treatment in March for 10 days. I must warn you that some of the wording on the site describing T-Cell ALL you might find sounds familiar :). Thank you so very much again and I do hope you don't mind me staying updated through Spencer's site. Oh and to close...what happened to your house while you were gone is unimagineable (sp?). I am glad to hear that they nabbed some of "bad guys" (rated G version), and I do hope you receive some of your precious goods back once the case is closed. Spencer - Thank you for teaching me so much, and keep having fun in school - I can see a medical doctor on the rise :) -Amy Brown & Family Farmington, NH

Hey Spencer, Kerri & Brian,
What a great update! Spencer looks awesome! I can't believe the bit about the i.d. because I just came across Jared's the other day in a duffle bag. It had been missing without me knowing, too. Thank goodness there is some justice after that whole ordeal. You will have to read our update after the 29th to hear how Jared's special outing went. We are going to the Hard rock hotel and the Tony Hawk show next weekend. There is a special surprise for Jared that I will write about. Things continue to move forward and we are always thinking of you guys and are so proud for Spencer's recovery. Jared pushes hard each day for it, too. God bless you guys and keep in touch!

Hi Spencer: Great ski picture--you look absolutely "smashing" in your new outfit!!! I can't wait to take a few runs with you in Tahoe in March--jut promise you won't leave me in the dust as you zoom down the mountain.
Hope all went well at Stanford yesterday.
We are having a good time in Scottsdale--tho it is more fun to play golf than hang around Mayo Clinic. The Marathon was great--lots of people out there running for the "cure".
See you in about 10 days.

As for your Duke badge, they will make you a new one the next time you're there.
