Welcome to Stanton's web page. We have created this page to keep our friends and family informed of Stanton's battle with Neuroblastoma. Stanton was diagnosed in January 2003 with Stage IV Neuroblastoma. He had 6 rounds of chemo, surgery, stem cell transplant, radiation, and 9 rounds of Accutane. He had been classified as "No evidence of disease" until April 15, 2004.

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS SWEET BABY!
February 14,2001-February 13,2005
In lieu of flowers we would be honored to have memorial donations sent to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Ronald McDonald House of Memphis. There websites are on the bottom of the page.
I have also added Michael Waltrip's website back to the bottom, you can go there daily and vote on him for your favorite driver. Do this for Stanton!

This is a poen written for by Trish for Stanton from Emma Grace Forever, My Friend
Forever is God’s light you let shine through Brightly beaming to everyone you knew.
Forever you taught us how to race to win You crossed the ultimate finish line with Jesus at hand.
Forever is our love like none that compares God gave it to you and you so freely shared.
Forever we’ll meet the lives you have touched Sharing God’s love whom you love so much
Forever is the joy you’ve given to me God gave through you for the world to see.
Forever is our love that grew and grew It started the very day I met you.
Forever our smiling laughter echoes the halls Or silly quarrels that amounted to nothing at all.
Forever I’m blessed to share this journey in part As you are forever etched in my heart.
Forever goes on in this circle without end Just as forever I’m blessed, you’re my best friend.
Forever you’re in this heart of mine You, my Stanton, are my Forever Valentine.

Thursday, May 7, 2009 11:18 AM CDT Okay so I know it has been soooooooooooo long since my last post. The good news is that things have been going good and have been very busy. It seems like the last 2 months have just flown by because I have been busy at work and busy at home. I finally had to slow down this weekend and clean the house. I had “picked up” for to many weeks. So let’s see what have I been doing? Work work and more work and after work I get to go watch all of my precious nieces play ball. No offense to my precious Coltan, he is just not playing summer ball this year. I then spend any spare time reading and playing with my nieces and nephews. As for Jeff, much of the same except rather than watch ballgames he is umpiring them. We usually get home about the same time, just in time to talk about the day and get ready for bed.
On to Hayden as I am sure he is the one you all are most interested in anyway. He is doing good. He hasn’t had any bloodwork done so no official report on if his treatment worked or not. He does appear to feel better and most of the time is much more pleasant to be around. He is almost finished with Spring quarter, again how time flies. He has big plans for the summer. He is going to take some classes but for the first few weeks he will be in Baton Rouge being a page in the House of Representatives. He is so excited. It sounds like it will be right up his alley and maybe help him to an internship next summer. I think after this quarter he needs 3 or 6 hours to be a junior. Jeff and I continue to be amazed at his tenacity and focus. We are so very proud of him.
I (we) have a couple of trips planned this summer. Hayden and I will be spending a few days in Dallas before he goes to Baton Rouge. We are going to shop, Six Flags, he and a friend are going to a Rangers game. As always Hayden and I love a road trip. Then for my trip of the summer I am going to New York City. We are having a girls weekend (several of the Haynes crew) and I cannot wait. I am blessed to have such wonderful extended family who after all of these years I consider my own. It is going to be a full weekend in which I am sure many memories will be made. Sarah, Whitney, Debbie, Dana, Amber, Julie-We are going to have a blast and I am so excited that we are getting to do this.
To all of you mothers out there, Happy Early Mother’s Day!! This is one of those days that kind of sneaks up on me. It is just hard. I am so thankful that God allowed me the opportunity to be a mom not once but twice. I have to say Hayden and Stanton are my two greatest accomplishments in life. On Sunday it will just be really hard to focus on that. It is just another reminder that Stanton is gone. Hayden usually goes out of his way to make it special but there will always be a part of me on mother’s day that feels like ½ a mother. Have I mentioned lately that life is really just not fair!!!
I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend! Love on your kids just a little extra for me!
Mom to 2 Incredible Children Tina
