Happy 50th Anniversary! August 23, 2008



Welcome to Hannah's Web Page.
Hannah Jayne Catherine Young was born on July 18, 2001.

On June 28th, 2002, at 11 months old, Hannah was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). She was immediately admitted to the Children's Hospital of Western Ontario for treatment. She received chemotherapy over the next 10 months, and finished the standard protocol in April of 2003. We enjoyed 3 months at home, but Hannah relapsed with leukemia in July 2003, the day before her second birthday.

Luckily, an unrelated stem cell donor was found – a perfect 10 out of 10 match. Hannah spent over a year in hospital recovering from her stem cell transplant. Throughout that time she continued to fill our days with laughter, and amaze us with her courage and strength despite the experience she had endured.

Hannah earned her angel spirit on Feb 3, 2005.
We miss her every day.

Hi friends! We returned home today after a week of vacation at Bruce Beach. We were greeted by 5 new moonflowers by the back door. The house looked fine, there was some rain in the rain gauge, and the grass doesn’t need to be cut for another day or two. It is good to be home.

Today we had a brunch in Kincardine to celebrate my Mom & Dad’s 50th anniversary. They didn’t want to do much to celebrate this special event, so we just had a small gathering with Mom’s family and some friends from the beach.

So we didn’t do much for our holiday. It was great to get rested up and spend some time with Mom & Dad. We enjoyed lots of good food, nice weather, and caught up with many old friends.

Better make this a short update…. We have to get unpacked and go to work tomorrow. Hope you are enjoying the summer, and check back in again soon.
