Hi Abbie,
I love the background on here, you are so creative! I am so glad that Mitch gave you a sign! Those signs mean so much to us. The holidays are very hard, I know, but we just have to remember that because of this particular holiday, we have the promise of seeing our children again! Can you just see Mitch and Adam up in heaven riding 4 wheelers with Jesus? I bet they are having fun. Love in Christ, angel Adam's mom

Dear Abbie & Archie: You are both in my thoughts and prayers particularly at this time of the year. My wish is for you to get a special Christmas visit from Mitchell with his blessing for many more. You can find him in the most unlikely of places - the chuckle of someone, an impish grin, or even in the twinkling of the lights on your christmas tree. Mitchell, if you can, please give mom and dad something special for christmas, and even make your presence known. Like that kiss that mom got from dad the other day, we really know that it was you !!! We love you honey, and miss you everyday. I hope your christmas in heaven is really great as you help the other angels celebrate the Baby Jesus birthday and bring joy and peace into the world. We will be looking for you in the twinkling of the stars, and the faces of other children and in just the plain things around us. We love you always. Send a special someone to grampy too. Christmas is just not the same without you here, so make his christmas a happy one this year. Love you always and forever

Wishing you all a holiday filled with warm and loving memories,joy and peace but most of all hope in the reunion that awaits us all in Heaven.

I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny light, like Heaven's stars
reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away that tear,
For I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you
of the joy their voices bring
For it is beyond description
to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I can't tell you of the splendor
or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas
with our Savior face to face?

I'll ask Him to lift your spirit
as I tell Him of your love
so then pray for one another
as you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful
and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in Heaven
and I'm walking with the King.

By Wanda Bencke~
May God bless you.
Love and hugs

Dear Abbie,
I am sorry that I haven't got on here for awhile.I have such a hard time, just doing Adam's journals right now. I used to love Christmas, but after you bury your child on Christmas Eve, it just ruins it. I continue to pray for a child for you, and I believe it will happen. It is so hard to wait, when you want it so bad. I am glad that the memorial went well. I am going to go to a couple, and I know that I will cry through the whole thing as well.
Sometimes when I am trying so very hard to survive the loss of Adam, I say this prayer:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to accept the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

It is the alchoholics prayer, but somehow I think what we are enduring is worse, and this prayer just says it all.
Love in Christ, Angel Adam's mom 4-ever

Dearest Mitchell,
You have the sweetest mom in the world, but then you already know that don't ya? She made a beautiful background for Adam's site, and I am forever grateful! Please talk to Jesus and ask him to send your mama another beautiful baby! She needs someone to give all that wonderful Love that she has! She will never ever be able to replace you and she knows that, but she just needs someone to need her again. You are also one of my hero's, along with all the cancer kids. Please say hello to my sweet angel Adam for me. You boys have lots of fun together, and send your mom's some dreams now and then. Love, angel Adam's mama.

Hey Abbie,

Just stopped by to say "HI!" and let you know I think of you often.

I read through some previous journal entries to catch up... I really do understand how badly you want to be a "mommy" again. When our (sick) child is here....our world revolves around him....we give up ourselves to put them first. We have a non-stop flow of love that we give our child. ANd then our baby is gone....and though we continue to love our baby with all of our heart, we NEED to be able to let all that love out! Hugs, kisses, laughs smiles, surprises....just making THEM happy is what made US happy... and now we can't do that anymore and we have this void....we want to LOVE!!!!

Although I still have 2 boys, I do feel the NEED to have a little girl. I know that no little girl will ever take the place of Leilani....she is original and will never be replaced....but I do, Oh so wish, I could have another little girl....just as I am sure you need to have another boy....because of that special love and bond that you shared with Mitchell. I had a hysterectomy 2 days before my daughter was diagnosed....so I know the hopelessness of not being able to have another......BUT........I believe that maybe the Lord will someday allow me to have a mother/daughter relationship again through adoption.

I pray that the Lord bless you with another child Abbie.....although I know another child would never and could never replace Mitchell....but in a new way, you will be able to share all of the love that you have inside. Whether it be through pregnancy or adoption.....I truly do hope that you get your little blessing soon.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers often!

Love Ya!

I am so sorry that I haven't written in awhile. I have been so extremely tired. I think of you and Mitchell all the time though, I assure you. I am praying very hard for you to have success in the baby area. I am always here to talk! Is Mitch still sending you grasshoppers? There was one at Adam's grave the other day, and I immediately thought of Mitch. Love in Christ, Angel Adam's mom.

Abbie,
I was visiting Adam's website and came across your entry. It especially caught my eye because my daughter's name is Abbie (spelled just like you). She is also fighting ALL for the second time. It is so not fair that there are people out there abusing themselves, taking life for granted and they are healthy. Then there are children like our precious kids who have to fight so hard to live, and still don't make it. I am so sorry your little man did not beat it, I am sure he gave it his best shot. I understand the need for a baby and hope God will grant you one or two!

Hi Abbie,
I know how frustrating it is trying to get pregnant. I feel for you. I am praying for you whenever I think of you, and believe me that is alot. I cant immagine how it feels to lose your one and only child. I do truly believe however, that you will get pregnant again. I still have two other children, they are not Adam though, and a new baby will not take his place either, but I just want to feel joy again. Every day I just go through the motions of living. My other two boys do not like to spend time with me they are too busy. Adam and I were so close, like you and your Mitch. I also believe that cancer kids are just angels put on earth for a short time, and that when we lose them there is this terrible void that nobody except another cancer mother can understand. I will continue to pray for you and your family. I got on that yahoo website, but it wouldn't let me add things like pictures and stuff. I don't know what I did wrong. I am terrible at these things. Love in Christ, Angel Adam's mom.

I love that song! Adam and I absolutely loved the episode of "Touched by an Angel", that it was on. He loved that show. I think he identified with Petey, the little boy. Please tell me where you got the song and how to put it on a website. I am so stupid when it comes to these things. I love the fact that you found some of Mitch's things! Isn't it awesome what God can do? He still gives us signs to let us know that he has not forgotten us. Still praying for us both to hear the pitter patter of little feet!

It's been so long since I've wanted to say hello that I don't know where to start... looked through your new pictures and it is so obvious to me how much you miss Mitch as I also miss Celeste more each day... it's wonderful to see your family keeping Mitch's memory alive and that you're able to have closeness in each other through your angel. What awesome angels we have but such a price to pay... sigh... Well, Ella just figured out how to open the maple syrup and it is now on the floor... and I wonder why it's been to busy to really be on the pooter :))) When things get easier for me to manage, if you don't mind... can you help me on Celeste's site? I try but would like to include more links... don't know much about this stuff :))) You have helped me more than you could imagine just by being here and sharing your story.

Abbie, I am sorry for your loss of Mitch. I can tell how important he was in your life. I lost my youngest son Andrew in Nov. 2001. It seems like a lifetime ago but just yesterday. I saw the batman paper you made for Zach's website and would love to have some for my son's. I have not figured out how to add any of the good stuff to Andrew's site like you have on Mitch's. I am computer challanged. Do you have any directions for adding backgrounds or extra pix or music? I keep looking at the instructions on the website and come up with nothing. My readers are bored and have stopped visiting. I need the WOW factor!!! Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi-
I was visting a web site of a friend and was linked to yours so I wanted to give you a word of encouragement. My mother died in 98 three weeks after my wedding.. it was unexpected and of course something I still struggle with. At our wedding we released butterflies.. To this day I am always amazed at the way butterflies constantly land on myself, and my two young children.. they seem to gravitate towards us..I believe that these are ways our loved ones can send kisses and reminders that they are always around us.. May you have grasshoppers present always. Hang in there, prayers are with you.

Abbie:

I am so glad that you got out for a drive in. Mitch really would want you to laugh and be happy as much as you can. Don't feel guilty for having fun and don't feel guilty for missing him so much. I do not think that the "shock" of our children having lost their lives to those horrible brain tumors will ever go away. I will be going along throughout my day and sometimes it will just hit me "I can not believe Jakey Bear is actually dead". I think it will forever be shocking. Keep up the good work...cleaning out and organizing his things! That is a huge thing to do...big step.

With Love,
Susan mommy forever to Jakey Bear

Oh Abbie, Please don't feel guilty that you were able to have a good time, it doesn't mean you're forgetting Mitch. You carry him in your heart not in the tears you cry.
And you know better than I do that Mitch was smiling down at you relieved that you were able to have a few minutes of peace.

May you somehow find comfort.
Celeste Young's obituary was in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Compelled to check the web site I have found yours. If you feel like you can, please feel free to visit caringbridge.org/page/kaitlyn for history on my step-daughter - my husband's only child. It will be four years on 9/1/04 since she passed. It has become more comfortable for him to relive his loss. He can now verbalize memories without breaking into tears yet there are days when the pain is just unbearable. My mother passed away from brain cancer 1/7/00. It seems like yesterday but I had a dream recently and she was no longer ill in the dream. A big step forward. My granddaughter was recently diagnosed with liver tumors. She is only 8 months old. My heart goes out to you and every other person who has experienced this horrific pain. Please try to find some comfort in knowing that you are not alone.

Hi Abbie,
I had seen your name on Adam's website, but I didn't realize that it was you. I had lost Mitch's URL. I have been catching up on your journals, and I must say that I can not believe how much Mitch sounds like my Adam. When you mentioned Mitch rubbing your back, I got chills. Adam used to do that to me too. The night before he passed away, he wrapped his little arms around me and rubbed my back. And Adam loved to fish as well. I am so glad that Mitch left you those beautiful signs! We survivors live for those signs! I am also very glad that your surgery went well. I hope that we will both be writing on the websites soon that we are expecting. That would be wonderful! If I could, could I e-mail you? I have some questions that I would like to ask you about your surgery.Love in Christ, Angel Adam's mom 4-ever

Mitchell has such a beautiful big bright smile. What a beautiful angel he is. I hope he and my angel Matt have met in heaven. I can only imagine the fun they could be having. So many beautiful angel children in heaven. I miss my Matt greatly as I am sure you miss Mitchell. So glad you see the signs he is sending you from heaven. I love the signs I get from my Matt. Take care.

It's funny how our kids have a way of taking care of us, leading us to one another, and somehow, to ourselves as well.
With tears in my eyes and my nose burning, I could totally relate to your story of the moon, the rock, and of course, the way Mitch made your heavy heart happy the other night.
It's always so nice to hear from them, isn't it? It's hard when a dry spell comes, and it seems as though it's been a while since we've heard from them--I often wonder if Ty thinks I don't need him anymore or something. Of course, he always comes along and reminds me that he's still there, and he's probably off doing something more important than pacifying his poor, pitiful mom on that day...but it's always so nice to see him return--no matter how he does it.
Here's hoping that there are many more heart shaped rocks and bad fishing days in your future...Always remember, Mitch is there--even if the moon doesn't seem to be smiling next time you're having a dark night.

Hey Abbie,

Just stopped by to see how you are doing and to let you know that I am thinking of you.

I am so glad you had that special night out....and the signs from Mitch showing that he approves! What a blessing!

I also saw Mitch's stone....WOW! It is absolutely beautiful! I didn't know it was possible to make such beautiful stones. Maybe someday I'll look into having one made for Leilani

Well, dear, I hope things go well for you. I hope your surgery was a success and am awaiting "good news" (smile). Praying for peace, strength and comfort.....

Love ya,

Hello Abbie,

Mitch will not forget you!! One of God's promises to those who accept His free gift of grace is that we will know each other even more in heaven.

This is the hardest thing...living here without your child.

I truly wish there were a way to send you a big hug. Thinking about you, Abbie. I know Mitch is very special and you grieve for him because your love for him is so very great.

Praying for you.

I also wanted to ask where you get the great backgrounds for Mitch's page? I think they are great. I would love to find a Batman background for Zach's page. He totally was Batman. It was so funny.

Take care!

Abbie & Archie are quite happy about that, and so are we. And like everyone says, if Mitchell wants it, he will arrange for it to happen. Hope this finds everyone well.

Dear Abbie (I never caught that before...sounds funny huh?), (smile)

I truly pray that your surgery will be a success! I really believe that it will....and it will probably be a girl....because in your dream Mitch named her. My friend Wendy, supposedly could not have any more children....they were in the process of adopting....but she had a dream that Noelle, her daughter that died, told her she was sending her a little sister and to name it Gabrielle. Needless to say, surprise, in the middle of the adoption process, she gets pregnant... and it's a little girl! No coincidence. So I truly believe that Mitch will send you Hannah Jo! Well...I guess GOD sends Hanna Jo BUT I am sure at the request of Mitch.......(smile)

I will keep you in my prayers! Hope everything goes well.

Lots of Love,

I have the cutest video of my Bear sitting in the back seat of my car with my straw hat on singing that song in his little 5 y.o. voice and I just love it. Thanks for the nice memory you just allowed me!!

I just keep waiting....I think he will just have to come when he is ready. Mitch: You take care of yourself in Heaven and you keep on visiting your mom and making her happy with thought of knowing you are doing okay there. I am glad you combed your hair before you came to see her :) If you see Jake will you tell him to come on by and see his mommy in her dreams?

I have some advice for you... (Don't you just love getting advice? I love giving it! I have now walked your steps with my son Stan and now my Grandson Maxie.. so I have found that with age and pain, I have gained some small wisdom... Here goes... You are welcome to use and pass it on.. I wrote this after Christy came home from Wal*Mart and had cried twice while shopping. She said she just wanted to scream.. "MY SON JUST DIED".

Tell you friends that you just had a bad, very bad car wreak. You broke every bone in your body. You strained and pulled every muscle. You were in a coma for weeks and weeks.
The worse part, you broke your heart!

You are just now waking up and it hurts so bad you wish you were still asleep. You hurt from head to toe.. Most of your memory is gone except the pain, and you cannot stand the pain. Your doctor and friends tell you that your bones will heal in a couple of years. Your muscles will need support and therapy but will get strong again in time. Your mind might not ever be the same but will be almost normal after a long while. But your heart, oh your heart will never completely heal. It will always have a giant scar and a big whole in it.

Some days when you think you are almost well you will hear a baby cry, or a bird sing, or a certain song. You will smell that smell or just think that thought or remembor that memory that you had buried deep away and your heart will hurt again.
Oh, it will hurt almost like the day you had the wreak.

Now, tell them this or print it and hand it to them and say "Thank you for your advice and support." That this is kind of what you feel like...
If they do not understand they are not your true friends.

Christy and I and others to, that have lost a child do understand. I wish we could all just hold each other for a year or two and cry and cuddle while we slowly heal.
We are here if you need us..

Happy Mother's Day to a very special mom. Today may well be one of the most difficult days for you as the world celebrates Mother's Day surrounded by their children and we celebrate knowing one of ours cannot be here - they reside in Heaven.

You are still a very special mom and your angel is showering you with love and kisses. You above all other mothers, have earned the right to be called Mom. You have faced fear, terror, pain and so much suffering for the love of a child. Though our children are not with us in person they are with us in our hearts. You made the ultimate sacrifice and are still left reeling from the pain.

May your heart be filled with love, peace, joy and hope and may the memories of your special, beautiful angel wipe away your tears and comfort you until the day we hold them in our arms again.

With much love and hugs,

A Baby asked God

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God
said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to
do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, " Your angel
will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your
angel's love and be very happy." Again the child asked, "And how am I
going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know
the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful
and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care,
your angel will teach you how to speak." "And what am I going to do
when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands
together and will teach you how to pray." "Who will protect me?" God
said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God said,
"Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way
to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you." At that
moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be
heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please
tell me my angel's name." "You will simply call her, "Mom."
Happy Motheres Day Abbie to ^Mitch's^ Angel here on earth.

Love you my friend....

And I am glad your work with the grief support group was positive. We all need someone to listen to us, and help out out on our journey. I know Mitchell would be saying you should go too. He was always concerned with you both and loved you both. Love you both always. Mom

Hello Abbie,

I am so glad you are going to try a grief group. We all walk our journey of grief in different ways and so I truly hope this group helps you.

I know you miss Mitchell so VERY much. Just keep trusting God and know that while we are suffering...Mitchell is not suffering at all and his soul is very joyful.

If I lived by you I would really come over and give you a hug...knowing that the pain would remain the same anyway.

Love and God bless,

Abbie,I can't believe its just about a year.We all miss Mitch so much,I have been thinking about him non stop and when I do I think of you to,you have been so strong although of course there is those days that it is to hars to be strong,I am really missing you lately to,I have been working alot lately but finaaly have a couple of days off,I will be up to see you....when I see you its like seeing Mitch to.We are all very excited about you having your surgery and can't wait until the time comes that you tell us Mitch is going to have that little bro or sis that he always wanted......I promise when the time come you have the little one I won't steal him out of your arms like I did Mitch.I was so happy when Mitch was born,I'll never forget that day,he was so beautiful and I'm sure you will be blessed with another wonderful beautiful child.Maybe he or she will be a old ham like Mitch....although I can't see anyone being as much of a ham as he was.I know exactly what you mean when you talk about the reality hitting you that he is no longer here.It happens to me to,I have such a hard time beliveing sometimes that this is all not just one big nightmare.He was such a fun person to be around and always made me feel happy and loved,He really showed you that he loved you and was not shy about it.He was one of a kind and the best kid I have ever known.I would give anything for one of his hugs and kisses.I talk to him all the time,people probably think im nuts.but even though hes not here I want to keep our relationship going forever till I see him again.I think i am not making sence of anything I am saying today.I just miss him and wish I could see him.Love you Abbie,Archie and my most wonderful nephew Mitch xxxxxoooooo love Cheryl crusty

Hi Abbie,the letter mom wrote is touching and also made me tear up,Dave and I and kids talk about Mitch daily to and miss him so much,I really wish he was still here so much but am so glad that I was lucky enough to have a special relationship with him,........he tried to teach me to chill out a bit,I'm still working on that one,but when I am all worked up I hear him telling me not to be so hateful while he is laughing.but on a more serious note Mitchell did teach me not to take what we have in life for granted and thats when I hear him to tell me not to be so hateful,I see so many people take their kids grandkids and other loveones for granted and I think of Mitchell,He was so full of love and is missed so much I wish everyone could realize how lucky they are to have family.We can be mad at them some times but we always love them and be there for them and they would for us.I wish everyone can learn from Mitchell and other kids that were taken from us that they are the most wonderful gifts we can have and we have to show them everyday how much we love them.I'm positive that Mitchell knows and always has how much you and Arch love him.Abbie want you to know I don't take you for granted and never will.I love ya and always will.thankyou Mitchell for teaching me how precious life and love ones are,not that I didn't know but may have taken for granted at times.Love ya and miss ya kisses to you sweetie.love your best aunt cheryl....and you fav sis right Abbie :)

This poem was sent to me by my friend Debbie, Lakota's mom. I hope it touches your heart as it did mine:

I've seen you almost fall apart,
When you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
And watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
Then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
Then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
Or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
While I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
We'll meet again one day,
Beyond the dark and stormy sky,
A Rainbow lights the way

Thinking of you with love and hugs,
I am both saddened and honored to remember your angel, Mitchell, on my heroes page.

How are you doing?
I just love all those smiling photos of Mitch.
I think I said before ('cause I mean it) I can almost feel and hear his joy. I bet he was a bag of laughs.
You made me smile along with him especially the top picture.
So I thank you, and Mitch for brightening up my day.
Take care

Mitchell sure did love to listen to eminem and ended up getting his aunt hooked on that music also,I could not stand it and would not let my kids listen to it,but Mitchell would play the songs and get me to listen to what story eminem was trying to tell and I ended up becoming a fan also.We miss Mitchell like crazy and miss all the cute things he use to do and say,he really had a way of making a person smile and feel good,he also made us laugh all the time.Abbie Arch and I use to have a lot of fun with him teasing him but he also had a great time teasing us.I remember how Archies smokes would disapear all the time and Arch would be looking for them like crazy,sometimes he would get lucky and find them in his back pocket lol.But alot of the time Mitchell had hid them and would not tell where they were so he could have the fun of watching his dad look for them.He also loved to give his dad weggies,now that was really funny and Abbie would have a great laugh with Mitchell over that.Abbie I cant remember if you had shown that pic on here or not,if you didnt you should put it on so everyone can see Mitchells biggest smile ever.love you Abbie.Love Cheryl

I am home in Heaven, dear ones
Oh, so happy and so bright!!
There is perfect joy and beauty
in this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed.
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me,
in that way so hard to tread
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still.
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand.
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home.
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Keeping you close in thought and prayer always,
Eileen

I felt an angel's touch today,
in the midst of my despair.
Twas sent by God, Himself, to say,
"be still and know I'm there."

To lead through days of darkness,
and light your way with love.
Be still and know, deep in your heart,
I'm reigning from above.

I'll lift you when you stumble,
I'm with you all the time.
I understand and share your pain;
remember child of mine,

The end is coming quickly;
the Lord shall soon appear.
To resurrect the righteous ones,
I love and hold so dear.

And bring them home, into a place,
where broken hearts are healed.
And promises I made to you,
will finally be fulfilled.

This life is but a spot in time,
a place for lessons learned.
Heaven holds the key to all,
your broken spirit yearns.

I sent an angel down today,
to show my words are true.
You're never far, beyond the arms,
of all God's love for you

Thinking of you with love,
Judy

We know your pain, your sorrow and your sense of loss and we thank God we are able to share not only your grief but also His faithful and precious promise of Heaven.

Dear Abbie,
Wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and praying for you. I know that Mitchell is helping Colby celebrate his 6th birthday today and tomorrow they will celebrate Mitchell's! I know that I am going to embarass my son, Marcus on Monday. It is his 14th birthday and I am going to give him a huge hug for all of the mothers who no longer can hug their very special sons. I know I mentioned it before, Mitchell sounds like he was so much like my younger son. They have so many of the same likes, it is unreal! Thinking of you!
Hugs,

A Hug from Heaven:
Hi mom it is me and I just
knew you needed hug today.
While I can not wrap my arms around
you anymore, know that I am hugging
you in my heart.
Know that when you feel a soft
breeze it is my arms wrapping
around you.
When you feel like someone is watching
I am with God and Jesus.
I have not left you mom
I have only gone before you.
I will be here waiting with open
arms when it is your time mom.
Please do not cry for me
You did that enough when I was sick.
I will be forever by your side
forever your son.
I love you Mom forever and ever.

Ms Abbie this is for you. I hope it helps. Love Chance

Hi,
I came to Mitch's website from Chance's. Mitch reminds me so much of my younger son, Kurt! Kurt loves cars, flames and Scooby! He plays hockey and last weekend conned me into buying him a shirt at the tournament I was working. He picked out a flame with a hockey puck for the sleeve. Same flames you have on Mitch's website. My deepest sympathy in your loss of such a wonderful boy. Your website in his memory is beautiful and I will check back. My prayers will be with you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful boy with me.
Hugs

Hey Mitchell I have to tell you something that will make you laugh.Jacob and I were out shoping we went our seperate ways then met up at the check out.he had a beautiful rose with him, I smiled and said oh I wonder who's that for thinking it was me and so cute that he would spend his allowance on me.he said to me what,it's not yours,I said well who is it for then,he said it was for you and that he missed you.I want you to see the boys are thinking about you every day to.When Jordan wants to have good luck he will put on your old sneakers because he says you will give him good luck if he wears them,he will also stick his toes up in the air the way you can and show us and say see I'm alot like Mitchell.Now Josh is closer to your age and is having a bit of a harder time,some times when I play your music he tells me to shut if off with tears in his eyes and then says mom I did not believe this would really happen to Mitchell,he curses out the doctors and no longer trusts them.Josh is still full of anger that your gone and feels bad for every argument you guys had,I tell him thats normal,and that its good your life was kept normal,I know you wouldn;t have wanted it any other way.you will have to send Josh a message that your ok and that your still buds and not to be afraid of doctors,your mom has told him that but he's still the same,he says all doctors are stupid and its thier fault that your gone.any way im babbling,hey but this feels great talking to you.I feel like your listning to every thing I am saying right now.I love you buddy we all do.

Hi Ms Abbie. Thank you for visiting me today and leaving the cool car. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that God only takes very very special kids he needs in Heaven to help him watch over everyone on earth. You will be with him again one day. He is no longer in pain and is sitting up there right now looking down and smiling at you. I know this does not ease all the pain, but know you will be together again. If you feel a small breeze by your ear, he is kissing you. If you feel a warmth he is hugging you. He will always be with you. I will keep you all in my prayers. And I am happy you liked the poem. If you like I can send you a copy of it. Love Chance

Thinking today about how cute Mitchell was when he was alittle boy,he use to look so cute in his overhalls when he wore those.He learned to drive a bike when he was so little i could not believe it,a few years later he wasn't as interested in bikes as much because he moved on to motor bikes and four wheelers,he loved them and had so much fun on them,I can remember when we were up visiting after his surgery he was driving his four wheeler but not watching the road,he was to busy watching us smile while we were watching him,I still laugh when ever I think of that,he was a little ham and a show off lol.Thinking of you everyday Mitchell...We LOVE YOU..Love you to ab

ANGELS

I wonder if you notice
When an angel takes your hand?
Do you hear unspoken whispers
That are hard to understand?

Its that "funny little feeling"
Deep within your heart
You know there is a meaning
But you don't know where to start.

They cannot work in sadness
They hide behind your fears
So open up your heart and mind
And wipe away your tears.

At first they may be subtle
But trust me when i say
If you know they're all around you
They brigthen every day!

Their gentle guide is there for you
So please invite them in
Just talk to them (they hear you)
And their work they can begin

They will send you "funny feelings"
But your soul will surely know
The angels work within you
And through them you will grow.

In life our souls are bonded
In depth it carries through
God's special little messengers
Must do their work through you.

Abbie, I remember the day when i came to your house and mitch and I played smackdown. It wasn't very long before he made me smell what the rock was cookin'. I also remember when he was only little and he would smile and chase me around and him and I and the boys would wrestle...he was the only one who beat me everytime. But the things that I will always remember most are strengh and courage, determination and heart, love and caring and the ability to always have fun with the people he cares about.He will always live on in all our hearts, even in people who never knew him, because mitchell is the perfect example of what is good and decent in all of us.I am down visting mom for a couple weeks and i imagine we'll be down to see you before i go.
Your nephew, Andrew xoxo

Abbie,I was glad to see that you want everyone to share on her about Mitchell,after I wrote about him in here last time I was not sure if I should of or not,but this a great way of people really knowing what a great kid he was,although sometimes he seemed more like a man then a child,he was wise beyond his years on some things but still so sweet and child like to,for an example Mitch still believed in Santa.Mitchell is very special to me.He is my nephew and while he was fighting his battle I spent time at Abbie and Archies house everyday to be there with them and to also spend all the time with Mitchell as I could,I became even closer with my sister Abbie and her husband Archie and Mitchell became just like one of my own children,I love and miss him so much,He wanted me to come to his house every day and if I was not there by the exact time I thought I would get there he would be on the phone calling me "thought you were coming up dumb ass" or"thought you were coming up crusty"which is crusty the clown of of the simpsons.....thats his dads fault he got him calling me that,thats because I like red lipstick and when every Mitchell would call me crusty I would kiss him over and over and leave lip prints all over his face.He would pretend that he didnt want me to kiss him but Abbie Archie and I all knew he loved every second of it because as soon as the kisses would stop I would get another "CRUSTY",Abbie even old me they went to sobeys one night after I left there house and he did not even want to wash of the lip prints.He also always sat with his head leaning on me while I put his arm around him and if I ever sat in a different spot other then beside him he would move to be right beside me.He would always say to me "you will be here for me aunt cheryl"and he was right I was right up untill the time he had to leave us.I often almost daily listen to the puff daddy song,I'll be missing you and think of him,He loved that song and use to show me the video all the time.some times I think of Mitchell and get a giggle and smile but some days are hard a couple of days ago when ever I thought of him I just cried,this is the first time on here since that day because I found it to hard ..I just could not think about him with out crying.Our family is really missing him more than anything I would give anything to have an I love you and a kiss from him again,I keep reminding my self that I will some day,I could sit here and write all night but I think I better stop and save some for another time,Abbie you know I love you and will always be there for you and also love arch.....dont tell him that though ab ....he caused the nick name crusty,lol love cheryl

I love to read your journal entries. I miss mitchell and I find it so hard to go up the the school everyday and not see him around. There will never be another child that will touch me the way he did and still does everyday. I love to look at his picture and through everthing he always had a smile. I choose to live my life that way too. He reminds me to do so when somedays I don't. Thank you for your entries and your stories I love reading and laughing with them. His eyes are what melted my heart that first day I saw him. Blue as the sky and his hair so dark then I saw his smile and I was sold. I miss him.

I want to thank you for sharing his journey, his life, great stories, etc......and thank you for allowing us out here to be a part of it.

Abbie & Archie: I read your journal and you don't know how much I enjoy YOU talking about Mitchell. I enjoy hearing those tales, new ones and old ones as well. You know, you can call me anytime, day or night, if you need me. I try to respect your space, but I also need to know when you need us, so please, let us know WHENEVER. As far as stories about Mitchell, well he certainly spent his time looking, just look around your home. Trish Stratus, no less! What an idol to look up to! We were in the Ponderosa not too long ago, and way down in the back corner was a young family. All of a sudden I heard, "MOm" and then someone answered from the salad bar, "what?" Remember when Mitchell used to do that and he was like 3 or 4. Only he was yelling Nanny. Let me know if I can do anything to help you out, please. Love you forever, MOM - and missing ANGEL MITCHELL like crazy too.

I think I look at his whole page.I could just see the picture Mitchell draw of the cross & flower made into a stain glass. I will visit again. I want Josh (grandson 11) to visit Mitchell page also. He will love it. Keep up the good writing, you are helping other family that are dealing with this thing called childhood cancer. God may be using you in this way. I enjoy your webpage very much.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS

IF I COULD GIVE YOU LOVELY GIFTS

TO MAKE GLAD YOUR CHRISTMAS DAY,

I WOULD NOT GIVE YOU A SINGLE ONE.

I'D TAKE SOME THINGS AWAY.

I WOULD TAKE AWAY ALL YOUR SORROWS

ALL PAIN AND DOUBT AND FEARS.

I'D TAKE AWAY THE LONELY HOURS

THAT WOULD COME THROUGHTOUT THE YEAR.

I WOULD TAKE AWAY ALL UNKIND WORDS

THAT MAKE YOUR HEARTACHES DEEP.

I'D TAKE YOUR WORRIES AND YOUR CARES,

THESE I WOULD NOT KEEP.

YOU SEE INSTEAD OF LOVELY GIFTS,

"IF I ONLY COULD"

I'D TAKE AWAY FROM YOU ALL THE BAD THINGS

AND LEAVE ROOM FOR ALL THE GOOD.

Merry Christmas From Heaven

By John Wm. Mooney

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintry nights

I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment
to stay in His grace
I came here before you
to help set your place

You don't have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
if you continue the climb

To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
in a new special way

I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year

~ Dear Abbie, Arch and Angel ^^Mitch^^
I'm sure you have seen this poem before, but wanted to share it with you. Hope you all have a Blessed Holiday. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.

My best friend Michael died three years ago from the same kind of cancer as your son. It was three weeks before his 15th birthday and two months after I turned 14. It's been very hard for me and I would love to talk to you more. I have also been a hospital kid for most of my life. There's so much pain, but it goes away. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Always remember that your son is always with you and as my Angel Michael said "Smile Be Happy"

God Bless

Hi Abbie,
You are right. Mitchell was so sweet to think of you guys instead of himself by wanting you to have a baby. I wish I could have met him. He sounds like a wonderful son who had a great mom. Being a mom is the most rewarding thing I have ever done so I can understand about wanting another child.
Chase wants a baby brother too and he really enjoyed having Ciera as his (step)sister. He still thinks of her as his sister, probably always will, even though she doesn't live with us anymore. It's a shame her dad couldn't be faithful.
Well, enough wasting my time about that.
I love to visit Mitch's site. I am so glad that you share him with us.

hello mitch..

i dont beleive in nuttin after passing, sow i am going to talk to you..
children and poeple always laeve a impression in the sand, and then it suddenly stops.
yur path was to short, and to abrubtly stopt, and now yur famaly has to walk on.

i have tride to give some comfert, but are not capable of holding them close and getting them treu it all.
i have never known you, and that is always a big loss.
but i know you treu yur moms eyes, and then you shine like a sun.

it wil take a long time before the hurt wil go away, and the chair at the dinner table wil sees to look empthy.

and that is just the way god inthenthed it to be, beeing left on this world is always harder then laeving it.
but i think god took you away for a reason ,far beeond orw comprihandtion. and i take comfert in that.

be wel mitch in wat effer place you may be, i hope its better then the way we try to servive in,

love magda

My Jalen only had one Halloween and it was when he first got sick and was in the hospital. He couldn't even wear the clown costume I bought him--just the hat. :'-(

I know this pain is unbearable and my heart really goes out to you. I pray that God grants you strength.

You probably don't remember that but you played with my children. May God bless you and your family. Your website is a wonderful tribute to your son, Mitchell.

I viewed all the pics and read all the wonderful stories of a perfect little man. I myself have three wonderful children whom now I think I may have taking for granted from time to time BUT never again, you showed me true love for children , and you yourself are a guardian angel. Keep up the good job and be sure I will be returning to this site very often. Thanks again.

Thank you for stopping by Samantha's site and taking the time to sign her guestbook. It's always wonderful hearing from someone new.

Since I was a little lost after never visiting your site before, I took the time to read some of your past journals. Mitchell sounds like a class act. What a great sense of humor he must have had (excuse me, he STILL has). The pictures were also wonderful to look at. Thank you for bringing me here!

It's funny how you mentioned Joe Dirt being one of Mitchell's favorite movies. My Mom and I love that movie too and we were just talking about it the other day. Thank you for giving me a memory to remember Mitchell by.

I look forward to visiting your site again soon. I hope all is well with you. Please know every one of you (Mitchell included of course) will be in my thoughts and prayers from now on.

Sending lots and lots of hugs your way!!!

Hi Abbie,

Thanks for dropping by to check in on me. I think Mitch is probably a happy angel in heaven, riding motorbikes. His love of motorbikes is one of the happy things I remember most from my visits to your site. Maybe he even has a biker babe huh? I love the sense of humor he had. Codi had an incredible wit also.

I read what you said about going to Mitch's school. I've driven by Codi's school several times but there is no way I could go in. They are wonderful people who were so supportive of us, but the memories would be too emotional. I spoke with several of them just today and I told them I'd drop by later when I'm feeling a little stronger.

You stay strong. Please know I'm thinking of you.

Love,

I Cry not for you, but I Cry for me.
I Cry not because you are gone from me, But because you left me behind.
I Cry because, I don't know the beauty and love that you feel and see.
I Cry not because I think your sad, but because I am sad.
I Cry not because the love is gone, but I Cry because my love for you is so strong.
I Cry for me because I wasn't quite ready to give you up.
I Cry not because your not here with me, but because I'm not there with you.
I Cry not that your soul was lifted up to heaven.
I Cry because you left us here on this earth so full of emptiness without you.
I Cry for me every time I think of you.
I Cry for your Dad and your Brother.
I Cry for all of those who loved you so dearly.
I Cry not for you, for where you are.
I Cry for us, for where we are, and that we are not with you. Every tear drop that falls from my eyes, are tears of joy and of gladness that you were such a wonderful part of my life.

I Cry not to be with you, to experience the beauty, the splendor, and the abundance of things wonderful. To know what it's like for everything to be simply perfect.....................

Thanks for stopping by my daughter's web page. It is great to hear from Mom's that understand.... Although this is a horrible time of year for me. With Tiffanie's birthday coming up in two weeks and the holiday's and the anniversary of her passing. I try to keep really busy and try to help other Mother's and Father's.. It never goes away, the moments get less frequent and further apart but your heart still aches....... With her 18th Birthday on October 9th it hurts, I am angry, frustrated, among a million other things but Tiffanie definately see me through these things.....

Take Care, God bless and your son is a very handsome young man....

Just wanted you to know that even though I've only signed once before I stop by your page all the time. I love reading your stories of things Mitch got up to. I've never heard of bubbles, but what great guys they are anyway.

Although I do not believe we have ever met, I had to let you know what an outstanding tribute to your son this website is. You have done a wonderful job and take it from a total stranger, I can feel the love the two of you had for each other in every word you wrote in this journal. I send you my love and wish you every comfort there can be during this journey down the road of grief. Your son will always be an amazing spirit and you are too. Be strong, for one day you will see him again.

Thanks for the snail in Gemma's Guestbook.
Luigi had put them in a plastic bottle (with holes) because they have to eat flour so that they get rid of all the rubbish before cooking them. So, after 3 days of seeing this bottle out on the balcony I binned them. I think they had suffocated in the flour anyway (I'm in for it if there are any snail lovers out there).
Thought Luigi would never notice, typical that night he started to look for his snails to cook.
I told him they must have thrown themselves over the balcony!!!!!!
Makes me feel quite sick just the thought of eating them.
Hope today is a good one for you.
Keep sharing your stories of Mitch withus.
It's wonderful that you can remember him with joy although obviously your heart must be broken.
love GEMMA'S JOURNAL

And I know it's hard (to say the least) to be positive when you have been through so much. I love the pictures especially the one of you & Mitch. So much love. Mitch looks like a big, sweet teddy bear. :-)

Abbie, thanks for signing in on my Mitch's guest book and the prayers for a clean scan. I don't blame you for wanted to stay in you p.j.'s all day. I think I would have a hard time climbing out of bed. Sounds like Mitch wouldn't want you to do that though. I am so sorry for what your going through. You had a very special boy with a great outlook. He must have got that from his parents.

Abbie...Mitch's stone is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing those pictures.

As far as staying home in your pj's and watching videos of your son...hey, you're entitled to that. Don't be so hard on yourself. I know how hard the "what-ifs" can be. Take things one day at a time. That's what I keep telling myself. Heck...sometimes I say "one hour at a time".

Good luck with going back to the hospital again. Last week was my first time back and it was extremely emotional. I walked away several times to compose myself. I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday and keeping you in my prayers.

Dear Abbie,

Thank you for coming to Gabbie's site and for signing her guest book.

I'm so very sorry for your pain and for the fact that you had Mitch for such a short time. I'm also sorry that you also have had to hear, "God never gives us more than we can bear." I have explained on Gabbie's site that that is not what people think it means. It is true that God will never give something to any of His children that would make them turn to Satan. But God does allow unbearable pain in this life--such as the death of a child. I get very angry when I hear that platitude because it is so over-used and inappropriately used.

But we must bear on in this unbearable pain of losing a child. The pain doesn't seem to ease...but God has assured me that Gabbie and all children who depart too early are safe in His arms. Mitch and Gabbie are actually doing what our souls long to do: They are worshiping Him in His presence!

May God give you strength to walk in this pain. Feel free to write me anytime. I will listen to your pain and not judge you.

God bless,

Just wanted you to know that we're thinking of you and I think if you want to stay in your PJ's all day you have a right to do just that. As long as you don't make it a habit, okay???

Dear Abbie,

I am so sorry that you lost your Mitch. I do know your pain. He was definitely a special boy.

I pray that you will find hope in that our separation is temporary...we will be reunited again one day. I am sure he is keeping busy making all the angels laugh! :) That is such a wonderful gift...to be able to make people laugh. I am sure you will always laugh as you remember his silliness! My daughter, Leilani, loved to be silly and make others laugh too.....I can just hear her giggling now at Mitches antics! :)

Please know that if you need anything or anyone to talk to, I am here for you. I find that it really helps to share and lean on other moms that know what we are feeling.

I will keep you in my prayers.....I pray that He will fill you with His peace and heal your hurting heart.

With Much Love in Him,

I cried when you said you realized you would never have another new picture of Mitch. I can not imagine all of the little things we take so much for granted-how they must add to your grief.

You will be in my prayers and I will be checking in on you frequently.

I just wanted to write and say hello first of all and to thank you for keeping up with Hannah, a child who you did not even know but you took the time to read about her and pray for her. I am so very sorry that you lost Mitch. He looks like such a happy child. It's just not fair. There are so many people out there who take life for granted, our kids just lived life to the fullest EVERYDAY. They never gave up nor would they allow us as parents to. It will be three weeks for us on Saturday. It is hard to believe that it has already been that long. I would love to talk with you personally. Our phone number is 812-248-9169, I know it is long distance but you can e-mail me back with you number and I can call you on our cell phone. Thank you for sharing Mitchell's story with me and thank you for caring about Hannah. Sincerely, Your Friend, Cathy Taylor

I almost forgot!!!

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,
we know that it's probably magic....

Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa

"My Mom is a Survivor"

My mom is a survivor,
or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night
when all the others are in bed.

But like the sands on the beach
that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others...
a smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see
tears flowing from her eyes.

My mom tries to cope with death
to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows
it is her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving mom
Through Heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that angels
protect me forevermore

I know that doesn't help her...
or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...
and show her that you care.

For no matter what she says...
no matter what she feels,
My surviving mom has a broken heart
that time won't ever heal.

Hello Abby and Archie.
We just finished viewing your site. We love the album of photos especially the one where Mitchell is sitting on the grass.My students say they think about him often. They say they love the picture on your car too.
We are thinking of you both and we will remember Mitchell and you in our prayers. Take care, Love, Ms Sears and Class.

Dear Abbie and Archie
Just a quick note to let you know that the grade six trip was held yesterday and although we were sad that Mitchell was not there in body we felt his spirit throughout the day.

Keep in touch

Hi Abbie & Archie:

I read your journal/pictures ...beautifully done. It's nice to know that you have this resource to express your feelings. Joyce often talks about Mitchell when we're walking. I was telling Joyce that Fair Haven Memorial Gardens in Moncton is opening a new monument in their Gardens, called "Touchstone of Memories" - I had them add Mitchell's name as well as grampy Chapman's. Their unveiling is July 27 from 12:00 to 2:00. It you want more info, let me know.
Love Aunt Jane

Dear Abbie and Archie
We have been working diligently on completing the yearbook and just wanted to share with you the positive impact Mitchell had on so many of these children. We still shed tears as we work our way though the pages and we laugh as we recall some of the little quirks that he allowed us to be a part of but most important we remember him. Mitchell will remain forever in our hearts as will the both of you. May each rainbow bring new memories and each ray of sunshine remind you of the smiles he has brought to many faces through his short time on earth. The absence of his stories and the teasing has left a void in our building that can never be replaced. We encourage you to remain a part of our school community as Mitchell will remain an important element in who we are. His spirit lives on through those of us who cared so deeply for him. Have faith that one day you will meet again.
Love and Prayers

Hi Abby and Archie'
Thank you for allowing me the priviledge of meeting Mitchell. Util he went to sit on Jesus knee and ruffle His hair Mitchell was in my prayers many times a day. Now, never a day goes by that I don't think of him. He was such a special child. I will cherish the scorpion he gave me.

What a beautiful tribute to your precious son. I am sure you will always treasure each and every entry written here. Unfortunately, I did not have the privilege to know Mitchell personally, however, I heard so much about him from my grandson Jimmy Hepworth and his mom, (my daughter) Tammi, that my heart ached for you when he was taken. As you probably know, Jimmy's little sister Jessica has Cystic Fibrosis, a disease, as yet, with no cure. I believe we began mourning the inevitable from the moment she was diagnosed. This beautiful poem has sustained me through many rough times, and I would like to share it with you now.

"I'll lend to you a child of mine," He said,
"For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he is dead.
He may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
But will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories, as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true;
And from the throngs that crown lifes lane, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call, to take him back again?"
I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief will run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we have known, forever grateful stay.
But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."

Mitchell, along with all of his dreams and the things he loves best,is now safe in the arms of Jesus, where he will remain until you are all together once again. May your treasured memories keep him forever close in your hearts and minds. As you see each rainbow, remember that it is God's promise to each of us, and that it is Mitchell's gorgeous smiling face beaming to show you he is always with you. May God bless you .

There is a children's song that says that children are God's precious jewels. So be comforted in the fact that in heaven he still shines brightly as your special jewel and star.

Dear Abby And Archie,
We are so sorry for your loss. Mitchell was a beautiful little boy and brought a smile to my face every time I seen him. Jimmy and Mitchell were friends since Primary and Jimmy is struggling with his loss. My heart goes out to you both. Please accept this poem I wrote in his memory:

For Mitchell - Forever In Our Hearts

Innocence of days gone by
Monster trucks and things that fly
Hockey cards and ATV's
A little boy - a big disease.
Wrestle mania and fast cars
Go carts, baseball, shooting stars
Rainbows, fishing and moon beams
A little boy and stolen dreams.
When other boys were fancy-free
Playing in puddles, climbing trees
A day at the beach in the warm, hot sun
Just being boys and having fun ...
You were a soldier in a war
Fighting chemo and so much more
Daily meds, hospital stays
Operations, in bed for days
And while the world continued spinning
You fought a war you were not winning.
A boy of 12 forced to fight
A war most men would run from fright.
And still you smiled, your spirit strong
A toy soldier standing all alone
A young man God put to the test
Has laid down his weary sword to rest.
Your sword has now become your wings
Your weary soul; rejoices, sings
Your innocence has been regained
A boyish smile no longer pained.
And with your wings you've taken flight
You play and jump through clouds of white
You soar through puddles and over trees
A boy again - happy and free.
Innocence of days gone by
Monster trucks and things that fly
An angel now who soars the sky
And in our hearts shall never die.

Dear Abbie & ARchie: Thank you for sharing Mitchell with us for 12 very short years. Mitchell was our grandson and we have had 12 years of fun getting to know a child whose strengths were endless. He taught us a lot in the past months. Mitchell's days of fun far encompassed our thoughts and he lived life to the fullest. We will miss his big blue eyes and sharing his foot rubs. He is not in pain anymore. Mitchell is free of the cadpump and his arm and leg work. Everytime we see a rainbow we will think of you, Mitchell. His spirit is free but he will live forever in our hearts. We love you always and forever Mitchell. Love you too Abbie & Archie.

Dear Abbie and Archie, I hope you are doing well, I love this website, it will be so nice for you and all who loved Mitch to be able to read peoples thoughts and feelings. As a parent who lost her 17 month old baby Nov 2002 I know how hard it is too live without your child. Keep strong, times will be tough. I truly feel Mitch is in heaven with Lantz now and they will be the best of friends. I can't wait to see them both again some day. They are our angels, take care and look after yourselves.

There are no words to express how I feel. I'm so blessed to say that Mitchell was my friend. Even though there are many years between us he has a very special place in my heart. The first day I met him those beautiful blue eyes and dark hair he melted my heart I could just tell he was a special kid. I never imagined that he would effect my life in such a positive way. He always had a smile for me and played with my hair. I was just another mom at his school but he always made me feel special. We would talk about WWF/WWE and our favorite wrestlers we were always the opposite I think cause he loved to tease me. He was such a fighter in so many ways having to battle more then just cancer. He has taught me to face each day with a smile and to fight the best fight I can and for that I'm grateful. I love you mitchell and I will miss you but I know you are with God and I know you are happy and healthy and thank you for being my friend.

Your friend forever,
Michelle

Mitchell was my nephew,and was loved like one of my own children and he will always be in my thoughts.I miss him so much,but will hold on to the fact that I will see him again someday.He loved life and was always laughing or joking around about something....probably is having fun teasing someone right now up above.It is really hard right now not seeing him everyday, but I know he would want us all to be happy and have our fun memories of him...thats what I am going to try to do.I love you Mitchell Abbie and Archie. love cheryl (crusty)
