Happy Birthday CarCar, We all miss you. Many times we bring up the catch phrases you would say to us while visiting the farm. I have you picture posted on my work cube, the one from Rely for life by the laterns. It always reminds me of all the spunk you have. Well, I see in the picture of the balloon release one is in the tree again for you huh..just like when you first left, keeping one behind to share with your family. Kelly and Tom wonderful pictures of Carl's site, it is beautiful. Sidney your letter is presious, you are a terrific sissy. We miss you all and hope things go good for you. All our Love always

Happy 6th Birthday, Angel Carl !!!! We Love You & Miss You Veeeery Much !!!!
Hi Robinsons !!!! Glad you enjoyed Christmas with family, we did too, we went to Freddy & Patti's, we had a good time.
I'm soooo Happy to here you will be spending time with your Rochester & Camp Jornada friends again for New Years Eve & a House Supper again on the 1st of the year :):):):) You all have such a special bond, the friendship/love you have for each other, sharing your thoughts & feelings through the tough times but also have a lot of FUN !!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!!
So happy to hear you're feeling well & things are good with the baby !!!! Try to remember to rest a bit between work & the kids in sports ( I sure miss those days ), you too Tom !!!!
Tues. morning, I woke up with such a good feeling & had to smile, I had a dream, I don't remember much but it was about Carl. He was on a little cloud & was zipping around on it ( like a hoverboard) having a such fun !!!! I guess with thinking about him so much & his buddy Andrew ( his Mom hasn't updated in a while & I'm hoping he's doing well ), the fun they had on Andrew's skateboard that it was the perfect way for Carl to come visit & maybe to say that Andrew is OK.
Well, time to scoot. Think of you all day & night. Love & Miss you !!!!
Wishing everyone safe travels & have a Happy New Year !!!!
Love & Hugs,
Ann <akhauck@optonline.net>

Hi Kelly and Robinson family-
wow i still can't believe that it has been a year since your little one passed. And almost a year and a half since Kohlman was diagnosed. Those pictures of Christmas with those orbs in them are really neat i can just picture him there singing with the kids and playing that game with them he had such a wonderful bright spirit about him. i totally believe in those kinds of things. i have some pictures of kohlman in the rodeo parade this summer he was in it for the heart and sole cancer walk and there is some pictures of him in the float and there are some orbs around him and i believe that my grandpa was there with him that day...and always. kohlman was named after him so i think he watches over us and him. well i just wanted to say hi and let you know that we are doing great back home in south dakota. hope things are well with the baby...i will talk to ya later. take care of yourself.
love-

It is amazing on the presence of Carl, but I knew that little guy couldn't be pull away from any fun going on without him. We are so glad that baby is doing good and your feeling good.

Thanks for putting those pictures of the Christmas program on here. I am sure Carl was there participating with everyone else...in spirit. Did you notice the orbs in the pictures? That one is really bright in the first picture!

I'm sure I'll see you next weekend. I think we are having a birthday party at Grandma's for the babies on Sunday. I'm glad you are feeling ok too...lots of people have asked me how you are doing!

Have a good week!!!! See you next weekend!

Dear Robinsons,

I can't believe its been a whole year since Carl became an angel! I have been thinking of you all weekend. There is a boy we met at the conference this summer, Erik Ludwinski who relapsed after 13 years in remission. He is here at the U of M hospital in transplant, and Molly's hockey team dedicated their tourney to him this weekend and brought him a basket and goodies. They had to play the hardest team in the state on Saturday and as I dropped Molly off she said to me "Mom, we want to win this game today for Erik, but also for Carl. Today is one year since he left. I am so sad, Mom!" I know we have talked about Carl this week, but she knew exactly the date and remembered him Saturday morning.

He certainly touched our lives and left a lasting impression on Molly. You all have too!

My God bring you peace that his memory is so vivid, and joy that the baby inside you today is Carl's message of love to all!

God Bless....

Love from the Hollway's

Today the clouds were no where in site, and the sun was shinning. It was a beautiful day to remember your sweet Carl. He will forever be in our hearts as your family. May you have joy in remembering Your Carl. We were laughing again- about "what ya doing?" And "Why?". We found some wonderful pictures of that little stinker- sticking his tounge out! What a ham. Thanks for keeping Carl's spirit alive in all of us with your wonderful entries.
Love all of you

Dear Robinsons,
I am finding it hard to believe that it is November 26, 2005 already. Where has the year gone? You have done a beautiful job in keeping Carl's memory alive this past year. May you always have the strength to do so and never forget all the lives he has touched.

Seasons pass, but love is forever,
An unending circle of life,
A pathway reaching from here to heaven.
And if every tear we've shed for you
Becomes a star above,
You'll stroll forever in angel gardens
Lit by everlasting love.

Your new baby will be a blessing from above,(right, Carl??!!). I know he had a huge hand in this new little one of yours!! I'm sure this new baby will arrive with little angel kisses all over!
Kelly, I'll tell you a story sometime about Elijah. It's sweet and it will make you feel very good!
We love you all!

Hi Kelly-
how are things in Minnesota? it is getting really cold here in South Dakota...one day it is cold and the next day it is really nice i'm not sure what is going on around here...anyways i just thought i would stop by and see how things are going with you guys. Congratulations on the new baby. when are you due? That is just a true blessing. i am sure that Carl had a little something to do with that. i wanted to let you know that not a day goes by that i don't think about your little guy...what a trooper he was. He definitely caught my attention...and i am sure he is smiling from up above and he is so proud of his mommy and the things she does for others. Kohlman is doing wonderful he is naughty as ever. i think it is in their genes or something...Cancer kids are little stinkers! But it is a good kind of awnry. i wouldn't change it for the world. He has to have a echocardiogram and a hearing test done on the 28th of October so i am sure he is not looking forward to that. i can't even take him to the doctors office and he just freaks out like no other. he hates it there and he knows where he is too. anyways i will try to keep you updated on his progress with his battle with cancer and i will be checking in on you periodically also.
Many Blessings-

It was so nice to get your update today.
Again we were so thrilled to hear about the miracle baby growing inside of you! Wow! What a gift!
Also, Sydney's "Carl Sighting" gave me goosebumps.
It was definately a "hi" from Carl to let you know he is with you every moment!
I can't tell you how much I miss you guys. I sure wish we could get together.
The pictures are wonderful. I love the "fall harvest" one too. So precious.

Hello, It looked like Sydney had a very exciting game on Tuesday. We were at Marissas and there was a lot of noise over that way. It was nice to see Grandma Robinson was able to see the game. I bet she loved it. Wishing you all well, and God grant you peace. The doves and the plague are such a nice addition to the park. I think of Carl often while walking through.

Congrats to Sydney & Sarah for winning your Blue Ribbons at the State Fair !!!! AWESOME !!!! We're very proud of you both !!!! Hope you had a FUN TIME !!!!
I was concerned about how you were all doing with the 1st day of school, I think Carl's visits are helping you all through the hard times.
Sounds like things are going well with the doves :):):):) Wow, sounds like they came back pretty quick. We're soooo proud of you all !!!!
I still check in on Carl's buddies.

Hi Guys !!!! MISS YOU !!!! Think of you all & check the site every day, hope things are good. Sorry I don't write as much, not sure what to write other than "love & miss you all" ( which I'm sure you know ), other than that, it's been a quiet summer. Oops, there is 1 thing .... Keith, Chris, Justin & his girlfriend Sharon went to Six Flags in NJ & went on .... the tallest, fastest roller coaster on Earth...Kingda Ka. I am so proud of them all but especially Keith (he likes fast roller coasters but not the kind with loops or twists ) & he went on it !!!! WOO HOO !!!!
I dropped a note on Bryan's site to wish him a HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY, hope you are together. Hope the kids are enjoying school. Take care.
Love & Hugs,

Robinsons ~ Just wanted to stop by and say "HI". Hope all is going well with you and kids are excited to be back in school. I painted Tyson's room this weekend and he wanted it orange. It made me think of little Carl. I love the picture of the boys with their calves, it is adorable and always makes me smile when I look at Carl's page. Hope we can get together some time.

Hi Kelly! Thinking of you guys as always.... The other day one of Devin's neighbor friends were over. He noticed the picture of Devin and Carl on the fridge and asked Devin who that was. Devin said, "That is my best buddy from the Ronald McDonald House. We played together and it was so much fun." Then he asked if Carl had a haircut. Devin told him "No, he had cancer, but he is an angel now. I sure miss him...." It was so sweet to hear him speak so fondly of his buddy...

I have told the kids the story of Pennies from Heaven. Last week we were in Rochester. As we were coming out of RMH, Devin noticed a penny laying right by the door. He picked it up and said, "Carl is thinking of me today!" Too sweet...

Lots of love being sent your way! Our sweet little Jakey started school yesterday!

To our dear friends, the Robinsons: Hey we all had a great time at the pig roast. Your family and friends down there are all so wonderful and so friendly. It was nice to see Carl's memorial and what a beautiful marker it is! The picture captures Carl. Still there was that emptyness without his little laughter around the farm is missed. We know he is around and can not even imagine how it must be for you and your family Kelly. We hope you find comfort at the Relay for Life, knowing he is there with you in spirit with all his friends in heaven. He will be your guardian angel to watch over you and your family. Protecting you and keeping you safe. His spirit will live in our hearts forever and always. As I write this I hope that you feel the comfort of Carl around you. May his loving arms wrap around you and give you a big hug to let you know you are loved Kelly, by all of us. Wish I could be there to help you through this tough time. Love and Friends ALways

You are one of the strongest women I know and I am so glad to know that you are letting your emotions flow! Hey, thay rhymed! Anyway Kelly, you are loved by so many and I know that you have helped so many people throughout this journey of yours!

There is a young man here in Charles City, Thomas Mayer, who was diagnosed with stage IV Neuroblastoma. If you would, I know that you could give some encouragement to his family. They are going to Iowa City for his treatment. His caringbridge page is: caringbridge.org/visit/thomasmayer

Hey Robinson's-
You guys are always in my thoughts. I hope for a great Relay for you guys and that you feel Car Car there walking those laps with you. He was remembered at the Relay here in Rochester this past weekend and there were luminaries in memory of him!!! For much of the early evening the weather was looking a bit gloomy. At one point we looked up in the sky and saw a rainbow but there had been no rain and the sun wasn't out...Stace and I thought that it must be Carl up there playing tricks on us as always!!

Hi Kelly, Tom and family,
My name is Rachel; your niece Jackie is my best friend. I just wanted to wish you good luck this weekend with the walk and the dedication. Jackie and I walked down to the zoo when I was in town one weekend, the cage is beautiful and I am sure will bring many years of joy to a lot of children and a lot of pleasant memories for your family. I have also seen the plaque in dedication of Carl, it�s really beautiful. I am sure you will have all kinds of fun, spending time with family at the walk, if the rest of the Robinson�s are as goofy as the one�s I know. In all seriousness, you have a great support system, keep them close for lots of hugs. My prayers and thoughts are with your family.

Oh Kelly~ I too was working on - thinking about what I wanted to put on the bags and going through pictures - the tears would well up and then I would come across a picture of him doing something goofy - like the picture you have on the site now or that one of him with those goofy glasses on and it would bring a smile - his memory will always live on.

We all (dad, Matt, Mandi, Kaylee, Kody, Jen, Jes, Aaron and I) stopped out to see the stone yesterday. It is simply beautiful. Jes and I started bawling almost instantly. I love it. For some reason I can't quite get over the bawling stage yet...?? Must be some reason why. On a lighter note, I have a bag of stuff for Syd again so I need to get that to her :) Love you very much!!

Carl's Memorial Marker is simply perfect. He will be etched in our minds forever as this little happy boy with his calf. Those are wonderful memories.
Hope your summer is going well. Mine is flying by and those little ones are keeping me very busy. We have 2 year olds this summer and that is a big change for us. They are wonderfully behaved this year though, so that is a change we are not use to.
Have a good day and stay cool.
Love you all,

We're Soooo happy for Bryan & The Hawks ( & all of you too ) for taking the Minnesota State Adapted Softball Championship !!!! You know I was checking every minute until it showed up on the site, I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the night !!!!
The pic of the kids & the doves is Great, they look wonderful !!!!
So glad you added the news stories.
So happy to read the Stand will be at Canterbury Downs on Sat., I can't wait to watch the race !!!! If Afleet Alex wins, Keith may be having a last minute party added on !!!!
About the Mall of America ~ I'm happy that even weeks ago, I saw Alex's Lemonade Stand listed on the Mall of America calendar, I also saw it on the KARE 11 site on Thurs., but I must admit, I felt a bit sad this morning that MN was still not listed on Alex's Lemonade Stand site ( I know they have been working on the list ).... BUT I'm happy to say I checked just before writing this & MN IS now on the list !!!! .... BUT, the Mall of America is listed for June 11th !!!! I'm sure you'll have TONS of people from the coverage you're getting there, the Mall calendar & people shopping in general but for those checking Alex's site, I hope they're not disappointed if they there on the wrong day.
I'm sure it's going to be an emotional day in soooo many ways, remember to bring tissues & YOUR CAMERA !!!!:):):):)
Have an AWESOME TIME EVERYONE !!!! Wish we could be there.
Wishing everyone a safe & relaxing trip !!!!
Love & Hugs to all,

Hi Kelly and all--

It has been a long time since I have signed the guestbook. I read but my computer doesn't allow me to sign on due to the size.

But here we are at the Donald House in Rochester having Eric's appointments--so I have a better computer to use.

It is strange being here again. Brings back so many memories--- good and bad. We really think of you all so often as we are here.

The pictures from memorial day are fantastic!!! What a wonderful tribute to a bundle of life!!

We had our Relay for Life on Friday night. We had two luminaries for Carl there. So you were all in our thoughts very much on Friday night.

Eric is having his 2 1/2 year appointments. Can't believe it has been that long.

We could send you something for the auction--maybe something Yankees!! Let me know if you would be interested.

Hugs to all!!

Hey guys! First of all, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that I didn't make it out to the bon-fire the other night. I fell asleep and woke up at about midnight.

ALSO - Happy last day of school guys! I'm sure you're excited for summer!! I am and I don't even have the summer off.

Kelly and Tomma - that was a very nice article in the paper yesterday and a good picture of Sam. It totally surprised me! I didn't even know it was going to be in there.

I still have Sam's mug at my house that he won here at the Grand Opening. I'll have to get that to ya sometime - hopefully soon huh?

Have a great day...even tho it's kind of crummy...

Love you lots!

Good Evening all (for me Good Morning for everyone else),
Just finished watching a replay of the AC Milan vs. Liverpool FC soccer game. Go Liverpool!!!!! During the game they said something apout a song called "You'll Never Walk Alone". Which is the anthem for the Liverpool Soccer Club(one of the announcers said the crowd was singing it, and as far as I know they did). It is From Rodger's and Hammerstein's musical "Carousel" and has always had a special resonance and meaning beyond it's context and function within the musical. During its original Broadway Run in 1945, with World War II raging overseas many in the audience who had aloved one fighting found solace in its meaning and its message.

"You'll Never Walk Alone"

When you walk through the storm, hold your head up high,

And don't be afraid of the dark;

At the end of the storm is a golden sky,

And the sweet silver sound of a Lark.

Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain,

Though you dreams be tossed and blown,

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,

You'll never walk alone.
(Last Time)
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,

You'll never walk alone.

P.S. I wish I would have known about this Song before now.

Weeoooo.... all the exciting things going on with "Alex's Lemonade Stand" !!!! I wish we could see you all on Kare 11 Morning Show !!!! Things have really come together & with everyones hard work should be an AWESOME Day !!!!

I told them that some people say if you find a penny, someone in heaven is thinking about you. Devin said he had found a penny one day and he just KNOWS it was from Carl. :*) Still thinking of his buddy.....

Good Morning to you all! Our family just needed to leave a message from over the weekend. The dove release was such a beautiful sight and we are still pondering on it and how beautiful it was. The weekend was beautiful and everything about Sunday was beautiful--the eagle, balloon release, family and friends, the doves--and all the care and support. We check out your site occasionally and look at all the new picures and want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Thinking of you often.

Dear Tom, Kelly, Sydney,Bryan and Sam,
May the Good Lord continue to shine down on all of us....what a beautiful celebration of life this past weekend was at the 4th Captain Dan Fun Days...I was priviledged to be witness to that beautiful, graceful eagle soaring high above us...just close enough for us to get a glimpse of what it looks like to soar on eagles' wings.........it made cry and it made me smile and as I looked around I was reminded that oh so many more are missing someone special too.....thank you dear Lord for signs,but more than that, thank you for opening my eyes and heart to Your signs of love all around us.

this was our 4th "celebration of life" weekend since Daniel's death, it is so hard to think about, but as we look forward to next years celebration I get excited about all the people that we will touch and maybe make a difference for .....there is life after such sadness, we need to keep our eyes open and extend our hearts to others.

Carl's Angel Wings was the highlite of the day for me, when Dominic, Sydney and Tony released their doves, there was a sigh of awe from the crowd, and as they circled and flew off together, I felt such a high, it was as if my spirit was one with doves.......FREE!!!

thank you for your friendship, kindness, love and total acceptance of who we are, we treasure you forever...

"You can save another soul
from giving up hope...
from giving up on themselves...
from believing that this life on earth as all there is.

Maybe you are doing it right now.
maybe a seed yu planted long ago
has forever changed the course of someone's life.
maybe your greatest moment is yet to come!

when someone's world is crumbling,
YOU can be their rock...

when someone has been crippled by the disappointments of life,
You can offer healing words of comfort and encouragemnet...

when someone's self belief has died,
You can help bring it back to life.

Draw from that river of life and
quench another's thirst for
something that

lasts forever.

Can you do something of
eternal significance?
YES.

How?
By spreading grace, joy and hope...

One person at a time
One word at a time
With the open arms of ...
LOVE.
For if you will love
then you will find
you have touched another life

AND THAT"S SOMETHING...

SOMETHING
WORTH
LEAVING
BEHIND..."

Happy Mother's Day Auntie Kel!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and to my other aunties and Grandma!!!!)

I just wanted to say that...and the poems are soo neat. I am crying, especially from the dandelion poem. There are lots of dandelions out around Crookston. Jessie and I were walking across the yard the other day and I said "look Jes, Carl planted MOMMY FLOWERS!!!" and there was a butterfly flying around them and I said..."maybe that's him right there!" And of course we got a little teary!

It is raining and lightening out right now, so I better get offline and go to bed. Love you and miss you soooo much!!!!

What a wonderful memory of Carl. Glad to hear that the doves are doing well, what a great tribute to Carl he would be so proud of all those little birds. I am so glad you keep up the journal it is always fun to check it and find out how things are going. Until next time take care.

Kelly and Family-
Hi i was just checking on Carl's web page which i often do. Kohlman just celebrated his 1st Birthday on the 16th of April...he had so much fun destroying his cake and my kitchen. But it was well worth it...and he deserved it. He is starting his immunizations now...he couldn't get them until he turned 1. He is starting to take steps now which is exciting for us. And he is constantly talking he is such a jabber box. He is so much fun and we are so happy that he is with us. I often find myself thinking about Carl and his bubbly personality...i remember the first day that i met him and i remember telling wade that i thought he was the cutest little guy and i kept seeing him in the halls of St.Mary's Hospital and for some reason i though "i have got to know what that little boy has" and then i found out from a gal at the Ronald McDonald House in Rochester that he has the same thing as Kohlman did it was wierd. Anyways i just thought i would let you know that we are thinking of you guys and hope Carl is having a blast up in Heaven!! Which we know that he is.

Just to let you know that I have been thinking of you guys a lot these days. It seems like it was yesterday that we were getting ready for the open house at the RMDH. Michelle's 13th birthday is next week and she was talking about you and Carl. She has his picture on her desk. She looks at it often. I also go in her room just to see his smiling face -with his tounge sticking out! Sounds just like Carl!! I miss you guys and I hope all is well. When we go to Rochester this summer, I will call you so we can try and stop by. Just remember that you always have a friend at the Hookham household. Love ya and good luck at the Lemonade stand. Sorry that we can not be there.

I think about you all from time to time and remember the joy of meeting you and exuberent little Carl at R.M. House in NYC. I remember sitting and talking with you as the "make over party" was going on all around us and finding msyelf so grateful to have a mom to talk to who undertsood my journey.

I'm sorry that I can't say that I understand the journey you're on right now; I can't even begin to wrap my mind around it all. But you stay in my heart, and sweet Carl will always be remembered by this North Carolina family.

Good luck on the lemonade stand; wish I could visit since MN is where Sarah was born and where I spent a few years of my childhood.

i was just checking up on Carl's web page. those doves are beautiful...that was such a great idea. i think about your little guy everyday. he was such a cute little bugger and so full of energy. i hope to make it to the lemonade stand in Minnesota...hopefully Wade will take the weekend off of work. i am looking forward to meeting more people who are kinda going through what we are. nobody understands like someone who has already gone through or is going through it. i will keep in touch and keep up the good work with those doves that is neat,
love-

Thanks for the awesome pictures and journal entry Auntie Kel! The poem at the end made me cry---again. Just like when I read it on the card I gave you! I had so much fun at the Dells. I can't wait to get home again to hang out! The doves look awesome in that picture with Sam too. It made my heart go "awhhh" and then I got a little tear!
Anyways...give me a call sometime or I will call you sometime. Maybe this weekend or something or before that. :)

Miss you and love you lots!

Hi Just want you to know that I have been following Carl's
website for sometime. I love all that you are doing in
memory of him, that's so special as he was a very special kid. It breaks my heart when I see the wonderful pictures you have of Carl and Sam together how sad he can't be here with Sam they would have had so much fun together. What wonderful memories you have of Carl. He was a great little guy and brought much joy to your family and friends.
I love reading the updates on Carl's site. Hope you all have a Happy Easter and some sign from Carl!!!

Hey guys! Happy Easter!! I wish that I could be home with everyone. I have never missed an Easter with the Robinsons before, so I am very sad sitting up here in Crookston by myself. I miss you all sooo much. I went to Grand Forks shoe shopping today, and found the perfect pair of tennies! They just reminded of Carl because they are white with orange on them, so I just couldnt pass them up. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend with everyone at home. I will be missing you all. If you have any left overs of ham and ham gravy, feel free to send them up to me with Jen. HAPPY EASTER!!!

Thanks for sharing the beautiful poem and the pictures of Sam, Carl, and friends. They are so cute feeding those baby cows, seems like just yesterday that we saw those for the first time. And how things have changed forever. I'm sure Carl is watching over Spike and making sure he's getting fed. Did Sam name his cow after Fred Bloedow? Just curious:=) Have a great day--God's Blessings

Robinsons, what another beautiful journal entry and thank you for the pictures of Pika - I will print one for Shelbi and Janet, where you got Pika. This is a tough month for me as it is the anniversary of my dad's death 8 years ago March 25. He was buried on Good Friday so that day will be even tougher this year as Easter is in March as it was then. Kelly - don't stop the tears - they cleanse the soul and they release wonderful feelings as well as painful ones. Someone told me after dad died that it never gets easier - you just get more use to it and accept it as time goes on. I know dad is watching over Carl and laughing with him and being reminded of my sons - his only grandchildren who he loved dearly. There is a song - one day at a time sweet jesus - that's all I ask from you and how true that is. Peace will come and memories will make you laugh more than cry as time goes on and you will get many signs without your blood pressure changing a bit!! Embrace every one of them. Bless you all.

That poem is so true Kelly! That made me start crying too. I can't think of the right words to describe it...it is awesome, but that isn't the right word. It is just so true for you (and Tomma, Bry, Syd, and Sammy--and many others)! I miss you all so much! I can't wait to get home and be with everyone again...for Easter...and then again for Chuck's birthday! Oh, and I also am glad that you got a little sign from Carl. That is so neat!

I miss you and love you very very much!!!

Hi Robinsons
I just wanted to write to say that I think and pray for you often. Carl was such a beautiful spunky guy who touched my heart in that NY hospital. I have a picture of us in my hospital bed entangled in IVs on my dorm room wall. Carl was such a special boy who was so much fun but at the same time so sweet. I loved it when he would give me kisses and when he would give me a big hug. I keep the snow globes he gave me on my desk and I think of him often.

Hey Kelly and Tom,
Just stopped by to say Hi. I hope you are feeling better. It is hard to find your peace, I do beleive you will just keep looking or listening. I think if you listen you will find it. I seem to have found my peace by listning, I think. I sit in the sun with my eyes closed and feeol the warmth of the sun wash over me and I listen; listen to God, Sophia, the air around me. I don't know why what happened to our little ones happened. I know God doesn't know why either because God, I don't think, causes our children to have these diseases. I think God does give us the strength to live through the nightmare and carry on. Sometimes it takes time to find that strength. I pray you do. Take care and I hope to see you soon. With much love, Diane

Hey family !!!! How ya doin' ????
GREAT pics from Sam's wrestling !!!! Weeoooo Sam, you sure look like you have all the moves.Congrats on getting 2nd place !!!! Remember, you may not get a medal every time but as long as you do your best & have fun, that's what is most important !!!! You sure have a nice collection of medals so far. Wow, you sure had some cheering section :):):):)
I hope, one day soon, things will just click with the doves & they'll know what they're suppose to do. Your summer projects sound very exciting. Congrats to Melissa & her husband-to-be on their future wedding :):):):)
The world misses Carl too .... always will. Please don't try to block your feeling, there are times you may have to but even if you're with people you don't really know or in a crowd....cry at least, don't worry what others will think, share with them why or don't say anything, that's up to you but try not to hold back too much, things can build up. Over time, it may get easier to block out feelings & you may almost feel numb, you don't want that. OK, now seems like a good time for a BIG BEAR HUG-LOVE YOU !!!!
We're all fine here, getting tired of all the snow, it snowed this morning but I'm HAPPY to say the sun is shining now !!!! Take care, hope to talk to you soon.

Hi, Just checking in, Hooray for Sam!! I love the doves for a wedding. "Love Doves", Scott gave me a charm with 2 little doves on it once that said "Love". His sister then got me an ornament for Christmas. Hang in there, I'm sure you will figure it out. I think it will bring such joy to people, even at funerals!! Love to you. Ellen

I love the wrestling pictures. Isn't it amazing the talent they develop in such a short time? Those first couple of times in the wrestling room gives me the desire to go out and just throw them around and toughen them up. Looks like Sam did a good job toughening himself up. He looks so proud and so do his fans in the pictures. I am sure the doves will all work out in the long run. It is amazing how we learn from our mistakes. You will be so proud the first time those birds return to the farm. All the work will be well worth it. And, I am sure Carl will help lead them home.
Love you!

Good to hear from you again. We were at the RMH this week and seeing Carl's handprints still hanging on the bulletin board left many emotions. One of my favorite memories of Carl was when I called to talk to you and he said, "She's on the pot!" so matter of factly and all I could think of is how mortified you probably were that he was sharing such details! LOL We think of you guys everyday, many times a day. Devin has the picture of Carl and him on the fridge and likes to tell people who come over all about him. Big hugs to you all.

I've been thinking about Jay & his Mom all day, I read his site this morning, I still check in every day to see how he's doing, I know how much they mean to you all. I'll be saying prayers for them.
Hi Sam, I'm so glad you like wrestling, have a great time at the tourney on Saturday !!!! I'll be waiting to hear how you do :):):):) If Auntie Jill is there, could you give her a hug for me & say Hi to Nick too.
Hi Sydney, I've been wondering if you ever got to test out your snowmobile safety course ???? Have you had snow stick around long enough ????
Hi Bryan, hope you're enjoying Hockey this year, I'm still checking up on how things are going.
Hmmmm, Tom & Kelly, I hope you two aren't working too hard & get to relax now & then. Well, Sam's tourney this weekend sure sounds like fun.
And of course, Angel Carl.... I sure do miss our little "Energizer Bunny" !!!! When the computer goes on, the first & last place I visit is "Carl's Corner", when I see his face & the smile we all love, it makes me smile, sometimes there's tears but always a smile.
We're all fine here. We're getting a little tired of the "S" word !!!! We've had snow 3 times in the last 8 days & tonight they said in the next 5 days we could get snow 3 more times.... UGH !!!! The 1st two they said maybe a dusting but are watching the one for Monday night:(:(:(:(
Well, it's late, time to scoot. Take care. Miss you guys !!!!

I remember all of the pictures hanging at the House and I kept thinking that Carl's was the best of all. His picture put a smile on mine and everyone's face as they saw it. I can just see him now. I look at his face and see that wonderful smile sometimes crooked, but always there. What a wonderful tribute to your wonderful son.

Hi: Kelly & Tom and Family

The pic's of the twins are so sweet! We were blessed five years ago with twin granddaughters. They are so exciting to be around as they look so much alike. So enjoy every minute you can!

I must tell you I have been feeling the presence of little Carl also. I have prayed everyday for all of you by asking God to show you signs that Carl is safe and happy. And the feeling I receive is a warm comfortable feeling that I have never felt before. The feeling is very peaceful.

God be with Kelly & Tom and their family, let them know everyday in some way a beautiful presence of little Carl being near to them.

I'm sure it was both a happy and a sad day for you as you held that little one but I know Carl's presence was there and he was smiling down at you blessing everyone.

Robinsons - was good to see you last week and nice to see the update. Hope the doves come home! I read Bryans entry and it could not have been said in a more beautiful way than that. Know it's hard for all of you without Carl but know how much strength he brings to you and also peace through his memories. God Bless.......

Hey Robinsons, we just wanted to know we are still keeping up with your website. We are so glad you started the Carl's Angel Wings, it sounds and looks like it is coming along great. We are so glad you are all keeping up your strength. I wanted to let you know of what happened to Randy a few weeks ago. He was at his job at the Hospital when he had to go to the store room to do inventory. In there is a dr stool, you know the ones I'm sure Kelly, the little round ones the the kids love to spin on as you are trying to hear what the dr is say. Well, Randy was writing down things, when all of a sudden the chair started spinning like someone was sitting on it. Randy could not believe his eyes, so he went and got some Nurses and Drs to show them, they could not believe it either. Then it stopped suddenly. Randy stated to his co-workers, "must be Carl letting me know he is keeping an eye out.". Well, we think of you all often and send you our love

So good to hear the birds are doing well, even if they have a mind of their own. I am sorry I haven't logged on for so long, the last entry with Sydney being so sad just got to me. I know it has to hurt everyday, but I am glad there are good days too. So many people talk about a different kind of "normal." I saw Sam the Man at school today and we were talking about glue bandages because another boy in his class was showing me where they "glued" him instead of getting stitches. Sam thought that was just the dumbest thing and did not believe a word of it. I told him we were going to try it out on his lips and see how that worked.....He just smiled, but, I think he thinks I am nuts.
Anyhow, good luck getting those birds back in their house. I am sure Carl will be visiting them and explaining things to them. He will set them straight.
Take care and have a wonderful Valentine's Day.
I love you!

Like you said Mamma everyday has been a struggle and it hurts really bad because we can't hear his little voice unless we listen through the ears of GOD. Just remember that someday we will all be back together in peace walkng the streets of Heaven I love you guys very much I will be thinking of you guys when It gets hard to cencentrate and think of happy thoughts about Carl Because he would want me to be happy Because no matter what he always smiled.

Hi Robinsons - thanks for the update - on Grandma Phylis too - haven't talked to Ken for a little while so was good to hear she is doing ok. Although he keeps my mom posted she often forgets to tell me!! Imagine that at 84!! Once again it's a small world.....Chuck's daughter Heidi came home from her weekend at her mothers last night and asked me if Carl had a puppy named Pika!!! I said yes and she said well they got Pika from Shelbi's mom. Her best friend is Shelbi Anderson. I said yes and there had been at one time a picture on here of the two of them and she wanted to know if you still have a picture of them if you could e-mail it to me. Heidi told Shelbi she was sure that was the same little boy and family I knew through my brother-in-law. She also asked if he has a sister in middle school at Redwood - I think Sydney is in choir with her or something...and does Sam wrestle at Redwood? If he does I think he wrestles with Chuck's nephew Thane. I showed Heidi the picture of Carl and the wings and there were tears as we both looked at it and she read it and about the cancer Carl had and how many children have it. We look forward to your updates and so glad you still do that - Carl continues to be an inspiration to all of us. God Bless!

I miss all of you soo much!! And Syd when you think that you can't remember Carl's voice just put in the DVD and listen to his phone message! But remember that you'll always have the pictures and memories of you and Carl and those will never go away. Sometimes you just stress yourself out when you think you can't hear his voice, but maybe sometime his little voice will just pop into your head! Also Kelly thank you so much for sending me the DVD! I watched it right away, and then of course cried! You have such wonderful children!! Miss you all!

Oh Kelly....I just have to tell you I am SOO glad the box came when it did. The weird thing is, I've had it since right after the funeral, but never got around to mailing it. Then I was going to send it for his birthday, but I once again didn't get around to it, Holly wanted to send that devotional with it, etc. No real excuses to WHY it wasn't sent, just didn't. Plus, I thought you'd have tons of cards, visits, etc at first and right about now would need some thoughts....What perfect timing! I am so glad you like it. You can put a picture of Carl in the cover too. And it is true....he IS with you always.

Hey there Robinsons. You should have mentioned Sam was a wrestler, he and the "birdman" could have practiced together :). Just let me know when Sam gets into the size 10 and larger (adult) shoes and I have some wrestling ones for him. Glad to hear that the new "house" is coming along and will be ready soon. We will be in Rochester next week for our one year post transplant check up. So much has happened in the last year, good and bad, but I am ever so greatful for the awesome families and friends that we have met and been able to share times with.

Say Hi to everyone for us. Take Care and God's Blessings, Shelly

Hi Kelly & Tom and family

Not a day goes by yet and we are still thinking of little Carl and all of you! I have been out shopping and the color orange sure pops out and I think of little Carl. I have never purchased orange tops before but with little Carl in my thoughts, I could see him smiling as I paid for this top.

Also the new picture of little Carl and his new wings with the peaceful dove next to him is so moving and beautiful.
How you captured this picture tells me that your son and God helped you. Isn't it wonderful knowing that their there always showing and letting you feel the presence of them! This is what we call true love of God for you!

Take care and enjoy the doves with your new found project!
And each time you set out to capture a new poise, know they are by your side.

Carl is stronger & more alive than ever. His spirit lives on. Every time I visit his site, I get chills. His presence comes through strongly and the sense of peace is overwhelming. You are such a great mother and I'm sure Carl is very proud to see all that you are doing for him.

Photography is a good choice for you Kelly, you take Great pics !!!! Hi Sam, you look wonderful, love those red cheeks:):):):)
Well, in my last entry I wrote about snow. It looks like you guys are catching up to us in NY for snow amounts, but not for long !!!! We are under a BLIZZARD WARNING !!!! UGH, not looking forward to this, it should start tomorrow about noon until Sun. with 12-18 plus inches of snow & could have up to 50 mph winds !!!! I'm Soooo happy Keith has off work on Sat. & Sun. ( which is pretty rare that happens). I hope you get the fun kind of snow so you all get out there & have FUN !!!! If it had to happen, the weekend is the best time :):):):)
I think of you guys & Carl every day. I start & end my day by checking the site ( & in between too of course :):):):)) & other times I just look in the mirror & look at "Energizer Carl" & it makes me smile.
Congrats on being chosen to be Kody's God Parents !!!! What a Lucky little guy he is !!!! Can't wait to see pics of Kody & Kaylee ( love the names ).
Glad to hear the kids are adjusting well. You both have always been there when they need to talk & have been honest with them, even now, talking about Carl, some people have a hard time doing that & it makes can it harder. I'm also happy that you are getting signs from Carl :):):):) I've had things happen around here sometimes & I just smile or laugh.
Hope you all had a good time when Jenny & Jessie were there !!!!
We finally got to get together with Freddy & Patti for Christmas last Sun., they're doing good & of course we had a Fun Time !!!!

I am also so happy for Kody to have you and Tom for Godparents. Spoiled is the understatement, I am sure. He is a very lucky little man, because we know you will take your role very seriously.

Kelly and family-
i am so sorry that Carl lost his battle with cancer...but he is in a wonderful place now and all of his pain is gone...no more poking and prodding at him. i'm sure that he will not let you forget that he is still around watching over your whole family. he truly was an angel and he touched my life in a way that i really can't explain. but there was a definite connection there. and i felt a connection with him even before i knew that he and kohlman had the same type of cancer. the doves...he would have loved that idea...it's truly genius. thank you for keeping in touch and if you ever need to vent...e-mail me i would love to listen.

I know we all grieve differently, so I try not to get too down on myself..... Perhaps, I will someday borrow your idea of cooking a dinner and take it to our hospital and return some of the blessings that we've been given...
Stay strong!

What a wonderful idea about the doves! I love it! I wish that we could have seen them at the celebration. We think of you all of the time. You are always in our prayers. We have pictures of Carl in Michelle's room. They seem to move around too. I put them on the magnet board and then the next morning it was over by Michelle's bed. I too believe in life after death.

Hello Robbies!!!

I hope everything is going ok down home. Jessie and I are coming home on Friday I guess. She has to go to school in the morning. I can't wait to see you all. I miss you guys (and all of our Robbie rellies) very much. Maybe Jes and I can send some snow down that way...since you probably need some there, and we have enough up here. I just want to go sledding...I know Carl would have been wishing for snow to go sledding too. Did Sammy and Tomma catch any fish this weekend? How are the girls' new 4-H calves doing? I'll have to take a look at them again this weekend. Anyway...I better go, but just wanted to tell you I love you all and miss you sooo much!! Oh and I'm huggin you in my heart!!!!

Love
~Jen
PS I forgot to tell you that I have worn the little angel pin you gave me for Christmas every day. When I get sad at work and think of Carl...I just look at my little pin and remember that he is our little angel and is sooo happy now!!! It also reminds me of the rest of our awesome family!!! Thank you so much for all of the special gifts that each of you have brought to our family! You are all inspirations and beautiful role models to so many people!!!!

Kelley, Thank yo for your wonderful entry and attitude. I was so saddened that Carl had died but know he and Andrew have or will meet and have a blast in Heaven. Life does go on and I am stronger for it. I have few Heavenly interventions since Andrew's death but a few months after he died I looked frantically for a copy of a favorite picture of him. I had looked for a good part of an hour and was frustrated and hopeless when off of the top shelf in the closet flew a pack a pictures and hit me in the head. I thought, NO WAY, but lo and behold that picture was in the pack. Thanks Andrew. I am glad he is not wasting too much time looking back.

Your continued journal entries are so wonderful - keeps Carl with us all. Kelly you wrote of dreams and signs - well maybe they will come to you through others too - I have to tell you of a dream I had a couple nights ago. I have been having dreams of my dad alot lately - he passed away March 25 1997 - and I talk to him alot and have gotten my peace in pieces but this particular dream was so vivid and powerful. I saw my dad walking -his back to me and he was holding the hand of a little boy - much like the picture I have of him and my oldest son when he was 2 out on our farm walking across the yard - well I called out to him and they turned and the hand he was holding was Carls! It was very emotional and was for my mom too when I told her....he loved my boys and all children and this was my sign of peace and knowledge that Carl is being watched after by a very special papa up in heaven. May these things and all the other things you see that bring a Carl memory bring you peace and be the sign you need - it will come in it's own time. May God's love and healing continue to bless your family and keep Carl forever alive in so many hearts. May you have a blessed 05.

Dearest Tom and Kelly,
Thank you so much for coming to Boston and saying good bye to my baby, Sophia. I was honored that you spent Carl's birthday with Sophia. I sitting with you and talking about so many things; our kids, our dogs, our families, and our journeys as similar as they are. I am still amazed how much of the same pathes our little ones followed. I will always cherish the time we spent together. I hope we will see you and the rest of your wonderful family in Boston this summer and I think we will be making the trip to MN to see the Mall of America sometime soon too. Much love, Diane

Hey guys! Glad to hear that your trip to Boston went well. I'm sure that it was just beautiful. On Tuesday evening, Dustin, his family and I released ballons for Carl. I read a poem and we all wished him a Happy Birthday. We waited and watched until they all flew out of sight. I know Carl was right there watching and catching them.
What lucky ducks with the weather down there. It is very very crumy up here. I came back from Dustin's today, and it took me almost 4 hours for normally 2 hour trip. I made it back in one piece though, so I guess that's all that really matters. Anyway, I think Jen and I are going to watch Shrek 2 tonight (I got it for Christmas!). Hope you guys have a wonderful New Years! Miss you all and love you very much!

Hello~
We just got back from Bemidji from 2 days out on the frozen Mississippi headwaters lakes. Our "balloon" release for Carl's 5th birthday started off our ice fishing event. It was a grey morning and as we released the balloons, they followed the course of the Mississippi River as it flows out of Big Wolf Lake. It was so beautiful with the bright orange balloons against the low hanging grey sky and we all said Happy Birthday CARL. We had 15 balloons, Kiri and Nick each released 5 one at a time and Rick, myself and our friend Terry Larson, who we rent the fish houses from, released the other 5. They were visible against the grey sky for a long time, eventually disappearing into the mist.

In our minds eye, we all could envision Carl's smile as he might see them emerge from the greyness below.

Love and Hugs
Auntie Jill, Uncle Rick, Kiri and Nick

Hi everyone~
Yesterday morning Robyn, Kevin, Dave and I released 10 bright orange balloons up to heaven for Carl from a very sunny and cold Sycamore IL . We sang Happy birthday and let them go in 2 bunches of 5. It was awesome to watch them twirl around in the cold winds and eventually soar towards the heavens.
We miss you all so much and are hugging you in our hearts.
Sending lots of love and hugs to you all (((((())))))

6 beautiful orange balloons were sent up to heaven for Carl here in Dubuque. We sang Happy birthday and let them go two at a time. It was awesome to see them soar towards the heavens. As we watched them twirl around, Alex and Ryan were sure that Carl was playing with them. They kept going for the same star--Carl's star-- Mark says.

Hi! We wanted to let you know that at 4:20 ( NY time ) we let 4 orange balloons drift up in the sky to heaven for Carl for his 5th Birthday. We went to the Jr. High School around the block where there's a big open area. It was so peaceful, snow on the ground, clouds in the sky & it was very quiet. We talked to Carl as the balloons flew higher & we watched until the little dots just disappeared. We do have a 5th balloon, Justin was called into work so we saved it for him to send to Carl. I'm sure Carl's enjoying each & every balloon sent to him :):):):)

It sounds like you had a good time at Auntie Janets :):):):)The Ice Fishing House sounds veeeery interesting !!!! It seems like Carl did a very good job keeping it a secret :):):):) Hope you were able to use it today. Hey Sam, have fun with that remote control Hummer :):):):)
Sounds like you had a good time with Kelly's Family too. Hopefully someday we'll be able to get together again & we'll have to try to find some peppermint candy cane ice cream, get 2 chairs & 2 spoons & put you & Chris together to dig in ( Chris LOVES peppermint anything !!!! ).
How sad that Sophia & Trey are also in Heaven now. Since I read about them I've often thought about Carl, Sophia & Trey zipping around together having fun & that image makes me smile. How special that you both will be able to go to Boston to be with Diane & Olivia for Sophia's Celebration of Life. Wishing you a safe & relaxing trip to Boston & back home again !!!!

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS

God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Lord, bless those we love this Christmas Day,be they near or far away Bless those good friends who mean so much and those with whom we're out of touch. We bring them all to You in prayer, and ask You to keep them in Your care.

Please know that you are thought of, in a very special way, not just this beautiful season but every day.

It was so good to talk to you on Saturday! I miss talking to you. I hope you got all of your shopping done this weekend in St. Cloud. I still have to find a gift for Grandpa George and one more thing for Denna.

I am sure it was good for you to have a little get away. How was the bird guy's place? That will be so neat when you get that deal going!!!

You all continue to amaze me. I love you sooooooooooo much and can't wait to see you guys on Wednesday (hopefully). I might leave work at noon that day and come home. Who knows...I may even be an auntie by then! :)

Can't wait to see you in a couple of days!!! I love and miss you!!!! Give hugs to the kids from me (and Jes I s'pose).

I'm huggin' you in my heart!!!!!

Love you lots!!!!

Hello Robinson family!!! Thanks for keeping the website updated...you continue to INSPIRE everyone whom have had the blessing of being touched by your lives, your faith, your joys and your sorrows! But, I know that Carl is going to have the grandest birthday party of all on 12/28...racing a special car down Heaven's streets of gold!!!
We have a special birthday present for Carl...a living memorial that will arrive at Mayo "Donald" House the 1st week of January. We have been knitting scarves for over a year to donate to the Donald House, for those kids, who like us (from warmer climates!) suddenly found ourselves in cold Minnesota! We are also now selling our own alpaca/mohair/silk scarves, and for each one we sell, we are going to be sending an additional scarf to the Donald House "in memory of Carl Robinson and in honor of the Fall 2002 Ronald McDonald House families and staff." (So far, we knit 8 scarves to send, and hope to send at least 3 to 4 a month. If anyone else reading this wants to knit a scarf and send it to the Donald House, in memory of Carl too....my hope is that EACH child coming to the Donald House during the cold winter months will have a warm, cuddly, pretty scarf to wrap around their neck while traveling to/from the hospital/clinic. We are making NON-animal fiber scarves for the Donald House, so that they can be easily washed, etc. We are also waiting to send them until after Christmas, because I know that the Donald House is richly blessed during the Holiday Season, and that it is nice to bless the families that are there during the coldest winter months also, which can often be dreary.
Kelly and Tom, I hope you approve of this tiny living memorial to Carl, as it comes with all of our love, hugs and prayers from Whidbey Island!

Good Morning: Kelly & Tom and Sydney,and Sam Robinson

Not a day goes by throughout this Christmas Season to tell you we are always thinking of you.
We would like wish you a Blessed Christmas with the releasing of the balloons for little Carl.

I would like to share this reading with you from a 13 year old boy who died recently from cancer. His Mother wrote this for him.

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
I see the countless Christmas Trees around
the world below, with tiny lights,like heaven's
stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away
the tears,for I am spending Christmas with Jesus
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,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, but I am not so far away.
We really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear
ones. You know I hold you dear,
and I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ
this year.

I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly
home above. I send you each a memory of, the
things I used to do with all my love.
After all "Love" is the gift, more precious
than pure gold.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father
said to do, for I can't count the blessings
or love he has for you.

So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away the
tears,and put a smile on your face for me,as
I'm with Jesus this year.

Dear Kelly, Tom , Sydney, Sam and Angel Carl,

Just wanted to tell you we think about you every day!! Molly and I made a CD we are sending you in your Christmas card. There are quite a few songs that were put on the CD with my thoughts on you and your family. I will send two copies so Sydney can have one too.

The kids are selling Lunch for Life bracelets like crazy! I will send some for you family too.

You sound good! You and Tom are beautiful people and your strength is amazing.

We will try to come visit soon. Miss you and Carl!!

I am so sorry that I havent had the opportunity to sign in sooner...

The services sound as though they were as absolutely prefect as Carl was...I was tickled to read about all of the orange stuffies and I know that Carl must have been thrilled to receive his balloons...

I cannot even imagine what it must be like to be without Carl...but I am amazed by your strength and faith...you all are amazing...

Your family is in our constant thoughts and prayers...

Just to let you know Robinsons You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I just wanted to share with you also what a wittness of God's love Carl's life is, was and forever will be. From time to time I would share Carls web site with some of my students. They would ask questions and loved to hear me read the web site. So when Carl headed to heaven I had to tell them. As I did, I asked them if they wanted to hear your letter. They all sat and listened intentley as they worked on their math. Then the day after I came back from the funeral they wanted to know along with many co workers how it went. All I could continue to say was "what I thought would be a gut wrenching funeral was really peaceful and so tastefully done". I loved sharing some of the stories I heard and had read on the web site of your incredibly beautiful Carl and his courage and the faithful loving family and friends who stood with him. What a tribute to Carl and the God he serves.

Hi Kelly, Tom, & Family
We will definitely be releasing orange balloons for Sweet Little Carl's birthday. I would say the dreams are definitely signs from Carl. The Christmas program must have been awesome! My favorite mass is our Children's Mass on Christmas Eve when they act out the Nativity including a real baby! The 5th and 6th graders are Mary, Joseph, angels, shepherds, etc. I think of you every day and hope and pray you are doing ok. We're all stormin Heaven with our prayers for you!

Our family is going to release balloons for little Angel Carl also on his 5th birthday. I'm hoping I can find a Shrek balloon and some orange balloons. Is it OK if we put a message and include Carl's website? Jenny's picture was great wasn't it--I loved it also. We continue to pray for your family. God's Blessings!!

RWF, MN - Thursday, December 16, 2004 9:04 AM CST

Cute story about the dreams.

You know that this little boy I used to babysit and was very close to, was practicing his sax, when he decided to pull something out of his closet shelf. He got up on a chair to get it, then reached up, and the chair tipped. His sax cord got caught on the shelf and strangled him at the young age of 11, this happened in 1998. I had a really hard time with this, as it was my first experience with a childhood death and I just couldn't make any sense of it. I am not typically a person that gets vivid dreams, but I was having dreams about him periodically. One morning when I was in the shower, I was thinking about him and a B showed up on the steamy shower door. I knew it was not me, as I do not write my B's that way. Although, I do sometimes write on the shower door messages to my kids when they walk in to ask me something. Then one night I was just dreaming up a storm about Bryan and I told my husband Mike in the morning that I was dreaming about Bryan all night and I wasn't sure why. That night I ran into his dad who I know pretty well but had not seen since the funeral of Bryan. What a coincidence, huh? I don't think so. If you ask me, that is a definate sign, and it involves dreams. This story is very true and even my husband can vouch for me.

You truely can get signs from dreams, so make sure you pay close attention.

I would love to take part in sending orange balloons up on Carls birthday. I will put it on my calendar right away. I know my kids would love to do it, also. Maybe we will attach some sort of letter too.

I am constantly thinking about your family, and praying for you.

Have a wonderful Christmas! Remember you may not see Carl, but he is there with you in spirit.

xoxo!

I can just see Carl playing with an orangatan. You know they are orange. I think that was a gift from God for you Kelly. Just to know that he is busy and found a purpose up in heaven. Your story about the Christmas program made me bawl. I have to quit checking this site at school. At the end of the day when the kids are getting ready to leave I will sit down and check...not good to sit and bawl with a room full of kids. Too many questions.
I am glad I made you smile with my picture. Isn't that the ugliest thing you have ever seen in your life? I told you that you and Tom should play dodgeball. It is a wonderful stress reliever. We laugh and laugh and laugh. I should say, I laugh and laugh and laugh. Some people are serious about it. If I had a quarter for every phone call or email I have received about my "stardom" I could buy everyone a beer.
We were talking about the fact that Carl has been busy lately. Fred rolled his car on his way to work last Thursday. He has a terrible bruise, but he is really lucky to still be here. He mentioned that a little angel must have been looking out for him. He will always be just a thought away. I know I talk to the little guy quite often. One of these days he will talk back to you...We know he will.
Take care and if you need someone just call.
Love,

Jenny <fbloedow@mchsi.com>

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have a little boy who will be five on January 8. Not too long after Carl's birthday. I thank God that he is healthy and that he is with me to spend his birthday. The things we take for granted until we know or read about other little children spending their birthdays in a hospital or in heaven. I have learned to appreciate every day that I have with my children, because each day is a gift. I pray that you receive a sign from Carl soon.

God bless you and your family. I have been keeping track of another cancer patient's progess, and happened upon Carl's page. I have a four year old and do not know what I would do if I lost him. I have faithfully given to St Judes for years because of the fact that they help so many people who cannot help themselves, and I know I would need that if my child every got cancer. Please if you need anything feel free to contact me. You will be in my prayers

What a great idea to let off balloons on little angel Carl's 5th birthday. Will you do this at your farm? I'm so glad that you came to the hospital for the parent support group. I'm sure that is a great support to have people that have lost a child and can fully understand all the feelings you are feeling. God's Blessing to each of you.

Kelly and Tom, I loved hearing about the (orange) Christmas program dedicated to Carl. I went by Home Depot and thought of you missing Carl today (Home Depot is ALL ORANGE). My prayers are with you often as I've often thought that now would be the hardest time of all. After the funeral, after the intense battle. Just going back to a "normal" life would be so hard. Since its not normal to not have Carl around. As far as signs go... Have you read any of C.S. Lewis's books on the Chronicles of Narnia? They are wonderful children's books written by this famous British Christian author. Anyway, in the Lion,Witch and the Wardrobe the lion is the symbol of Christ. He is very caring, loving and would do anything for the children... Carl is in wonderful hands. (Although the rest of us are heartbroken here on earth.) Anna is working on finals. She misses Carl and stated that he had a WONDERFUL life. She just smiles when she thinks of him and says that he took full advantage of every second he had and lived a joyous life. Interesting perspective coming from her. Love you, Laura and Bob

Robinsons, I have the Gazette here with the articles about Carl and have read and re-read them - what a beautiful tribute for a beautiful boy and his wonderful family. You have given so many others strength in time of sorrow. The prayers for your family don't stop because Carl is now a precious angel - they only get stronger and I keep you all close in prayer and in heart. When my dad died, a cousin of mine wrote to me a couple weeks afterward and said that was the time she needed the most support when her mom died - the people have all gone home - back to their daily lives, the service is over, the flowers wilting and that's when it can hit the hardest and I have thought of that so much this last week or so and now think of her and you as her dad - my uncle - died the day after Carl and we want you to know you're thought of in a special way every day....God Bless and may Carls precious memories bring you peace at this holiday season. He touched so many lives and you can be so very proud of that little guy. You all are an inspriation to so many. Thank you for keeping up the journal - it keeps Carl close to everyone that has followed his journey home.

Dear Kelly, Ever since you wrote inquiring about James, I have earmarked Carl's website and check it often---it is with such sadness that I read of Carl's passing. God will love him!--such a beautiful, vigorous little boy, as Mary Eidson described him to me when you all met in New York. James continues to be NED; some of us won't ever stop praying for him, as we have for Carl. Love to you all, Gayle Eidson, James' grammy.

Kelly, Tom, Bryan, Sydney & Sam~
I am certain that our little energetic, crazy Carl is riding his tractor going full speed up in heaven with that big smile on his face (o: socializing and talking or playing with his friends. Kelly, you said in your journal that Carl brought so many smiles to peoples faces. He still brings a smile to my face when I envision him with that infectious smile of his, which makes me think he is OK and smiling down on us. That being said, I want to share with you what happened to me at the airport Saturday. I was feeling very sad when Joy, Janet & Mellissa dropped me off at the airport Saturday and as I walked inside the door to the check-in counter I was asked by a Northwest employee if I was needing to check in First Class or coach, as I answered her �coach� she noticed the button on my coat with the picture of Carl �What a cute little boy, how old is he?� she asked- when I told her what had happened � she directed me to the first class counter where there was no waiting��
Thinking about you often and hugging you in my heart (((((())))))
Love you and miss you bunches~

He was 9 and a boy who was always a friend to all, no matter what your age. Take comfort in knowing that your Carl has a good friend in our boy. Jonathan was all about playing with friends and he could never have enough of them. We are sorry for your loss and share your grief.

Kelly, We think of Carl each day. So many memories of him around here. I often think about that hug and kiss he gave Maya as he said goodbye when they were both here together. I pray for strength for your family in the upcoming weeks. Know we are thinking of you.

Hi Tom and Kelly,
As I read your recent update I recall something Sophia's Doctor told me so kindly and softly, "You will find your way through this forest and survive, no matter what happens you will survive." I am so very glad that you are all finding your way safely through this deep forest. I know that this is something noone ever wants to live through but to know, through your experience, that with love we all will survive. God bless you all. I hope to see you soon, perhaps in Boston? Love Diane

Tom, Kelly, Bryan, Syd, and Sam~
I keep thinking about you guys and wonder how things are going. I was breezing through the things you wrote in your last journal and the article head line stood out "Sad Hearts". I thought that's exactly how I'am feeling. I can't even begin to imagine how your hearts are feeling.
The kids and I have been remembering alot of the funny things he would say and his smile he had. When I think of that smile I can't help but smile.
Love and miss you guys!!

Hey guys! All of the newspaper articles are so beautiful! It's always amazing to read about how many lives Carl has touched. He was truly an inspiration!! I have been thinking of all of you 24 hours a day. Being at home waiting for the babies to be born has really given me so much time to think. Since the visitation, I have thought of so many memories that I would have liked to have shared with everyone, but just couldn't think of them at the time. I keep thinking about the last time I was with Carl at Grandma's house. He rubbed my big belly, and then looked at Kelly and said," How are those babies going to get out of there??" Kelly, you just laughed and told him to ask me!! I think Matt came to the rescue and said something about the stork! :) I love remembering the funny comments that Carl always had. He is missed by so many! I hope that you are doing well back at work, and the kids at school. Take care, and see you soon.Love ya!

I finally heard that song "Skin" today on my way into town about an hour ago. I starting bawling again. I hope that you are doing ok and that the kids are handling being back to school ok. It still is really hard for me to be sitting here, but I know he wouldn't want us to cry for him because he'd just ask - whatcha cryin for? Love you and miss you lots. Hugs and hugs and hugs!!!

Good morning Robinsons!
We're holding you up strong in our prayers, and we have been relating great "Carl stories" to each other in the past week, although there have been lots of tears too. We miss Carl so very much, so we know what it must be like for all of you!!!! On a more positive note, Jonathan was in the kitchen last night, glanced over all of Carl's pictures on our frig (including his "orange Halloween costume from several years ago), and simply said: "Mom, Carl's in peace." So true....(although probably a very noisy, fast paced, racing down the paved gold roads of Heaven peace!!!)

I'm at a complete loss for words to tell you how sorry I am. I only met Carl a couple of times and I consider myself truly blessed to say that I knew him and your family. Carl holds a very special place in my heart that will never be replaced! Your entire family does as well. Thank you, Kelly, for your beautiful words of encouragement in all of your journal entries. In your words, I not only see a loving, caring mother, but I also see Jesus. Thank you for your faithfulness. I pray that you will always find comfort and joy in your days of sorrow and mourning.
May God Bless you this holiday season...and always!!!

Onalaska, WI United States - Friday, December 3, 2004 12:26 AM CST

Another angel takes flight.

My deepest, most sincere sympathy and condolences to each and every one of you!! Carl was a fighter, there is no doubt about that! He is now pain free, free to fly in the Heavens and watch over all of you!
We lost our precious Pam on Oct. 7, 2003, so I know what you are going through. There are no words that can ease the pain.

The worst thing that can happen to a parent is to lose a child. It feels like someone ripped your heart out. You go from the unbelievable to the unbearable.

Carl is in a good place now and I'm sure Pam is with him. She just loved children so much.

I would just like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam:

If you were a star
That wasn�t expected back
In the universe
For a thousand years,
I�d wait.

If you were the sky
And everyone went inside
When you got sad
And started to rain,
I�d stay.

And if you were a peach
And the world decided to get rid of all peaches,
I�d pick you up,
Put you in my pocket�

AND KEEP YOU��..FOREVER.

I would also like to share, with you and your family, a poem that was put on Pam�s website:
God's Garden

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace Be Thine."

It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Below is a poem that we have on a plaque dedicated to Pam:

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death
we do the same� It broke our
hearts to lose you, you did not go
alone; for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home� You
left us peaceful memories, your love
is still our guide, and though we
cannot see you, you are always at our
side� Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one,
The Chain will link again.

You are all in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

SYOSSET, NY USA - Friday, December 3, 2004 12:22 AM CST

Kelly and Tom - I just wanted you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to you both for the loss of your beautiful, sweet CarCar. Although I never wrote to you all, I checked on your precious son each and every day. I found this poem on another site and just wanted you to have an opportunity to read it.

If tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me, As much as I love you,

And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind; all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye

For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do,

It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,

I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized, that this could never be,

For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden

throne, He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you."

Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,

And since each day's the same way, there's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.

Though there were times you did some things, you knew you

shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free.

So won't you come and take my hand, and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,

For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.

May God Bless You and Your Family.

I wish I could have made it to the wake and funeral, I definately had good intentions. I suddenly came down with that terrible 24 hour flu, I felt horrible. But it really made me think. I bet Carl is running around and feeling wonderful, no more pain, no more chemo, no more illness, no more "ouch, that hurts", or "my tummy hurts". What a wonderful thought! Although I am positive he will truely be missed, he is now in an awesome place, HEAVEN! You and your family are still in my thoughts and prayers. xoxo!

I am praying for you today, hoping you are all doing OK. I hope that the Franks shared with you that they found Carl's signature in white chalk on one of the front pillars at the hospital here in RWF. It is absolutely precious and I wish we could kept it there forever, but with old man winter coming I doubt that it will stay there too long. Everytime I go by the front entry I will think of little Carl and his autograph. Your celebration for Carl sounds like it was fabulous. The doves, the balloons, like many others have already written had me in tears. God's Blessing to All!

Dear Robinson Family.
At Sunday mass our parish, St Matthew's in St Paul, prayed for Carl Robinson and I knew immediately we were praying for the sweet young boy who I had been praying for and following his web-site for months.

You are an extremely strong family and Carl was so fortunate to have you caring for him as you were to have him in your lives.

I am so sorry for you loss and ask that God will keep you in his loving care in the days ahead.

When ever I wear Orange, I shall think of Precious Carl and how it was his favorite color..It will be my Tribute to him...Bless you all in the days ahead. God will give you strength to get thru this, he always does..We learn to accept the loss of a Loved one but never understand why...Carl will always be with you in your Hearts...He will never leave you....

Dear Robinson family,
Each day I read from my book of Psalms and again I have found one that has special meaning to me and I think you will also find comfort in it...

The Eyes of Understanding

The sunset is one of God's magnificent wonders. Sweeping across the horizon as if painted by God's own hand, it imbues the receding sunlight with indescribable splendor and signals that one day is giving way to another- a celestial changing of the guard.

Our lives are full of days as well, but we seldom pass as smoothly from one to the other. We fail to view the sunsets in our lives in the same way we do the sunrises.

Endings can be just as beautiful as beginnings if we allow God to open the eyes of our understanding. When we truly realize the miracle of the sunset, we will no longer cling to the remains of the day.

We will instead revel in its beauty, celebrating life to its fullest.

Great Creator, open the eyes of my understanding to appreciate the sunsets in my life. Amen

Dear Tom and Kelly,
we said a prayer for you as we started our day and again we are thinking of you as our day is ending, may the peace of God be in your heart always...

P.S. Dear Sweet Sam,
I am working on the "Special Christmas Tree" just for Sam!

Don�t cry and don�t be sad
Just remember what it is to be
Alive
And when you see beauty
In the sky, the flowers and the sea
Celebrate your life with me

Time is short but life is long
And I will go on living
Forever after I am gone
In your heart, and in your mind, and in the
Stars up in the sky
Just look up and you will see
You�re looking up at me

Celebrate my life, please
When you think of me
Dance a dance
Or sing a song
Please don�t cry and please don�t long
For I have never left you see

Celebrate my life please
Celebrate for me

We are so very sorry your little Carl had to go so soon. He must have been an amazing little angel here on earth to have touched so many hearts and leave so many smiling!! When CarCar took wing to the heavens he sure left his mark! We pray for your family that all of the wonderful memories that now bring tears and heartache will soon bring only great-big smiles for CarCar! We cry because it's over, but we smile because HE HAPPENED!!
Fly in peace and wonder, little Carl, with your flashy new wings!!

Kala loves CarCar so very much and they had so much fun together. I will never forget him burning down the hallways on some kind of vehicle or another, with his big, sweet smile. God bless you at this difficult time and angels wrap their loving arms around you. You have been a blessing in our lives.

Yes, Carl is at peace and looking down on you and all of us. I'm sorry we haven't kept in contact with you. When I think of Carl, I see a little boy full of pep(????) and vinegar riding his three wheeler through the halls of RMH. I'm sure he's doing the same where he is today. All of our love and support.

Kelly and Tom, Thank you for welcoming me into your wonderful celebration of Carl's beautiful life. The memorial service was beautiful. The doves were so wonderfull. I stopped my car on the way back to the church to watch 2 of them flying together over the field. The ballon release was awesome. Selfishly I took 2 balloons, one for Carl and one for Sophia. I tied them together to send off to Carl. I wanted to ask that Carl look out for Sophia. The ballons had a straight shot over the trees but the wind cought them. They were snagged in a tree, not the same tree the others were snagged and popped, the balloons did not pop. They hung out there blowwing around in the wind, whirling and twirling around eachother as though they were playing. They set off again into another tree, whirling in the wind again. A memory I will have forever. I enjoyed meeting your family, every one was so kind. Kelly and Tom you are both so very strong. I pray you continue to find strength during this difficult time. God bless.

Kelly and Tom,
I am sorry that we could not be at the services yesterday or today. From reading the entries it sounded beautiful. Just to let you know that I was thinking of all of you all day yesterday and today. You have my prayers and love with you always. I wish that we could have been there for you and your little Carl. Just remember that you always have a friend in Chicago. I miss you all and I am thinking of you all of the time.
I hope that you will always remember how special you all are to us. I am so fortunate to have you all as friends. May God give you strength and the love to get thru this hard time. Most of all may he give your family peace.
Sending you lots of love and lots of hugs.

I am so, so sorry for you all. I always remember Carl this way: Zooming out of the elevator at the Ronald McDonald House on his Big Wheel. As soon as that door opened, he was out of there like a flash -- maneuvering around the front room and down the hall in a preschool blur! All you could see was the smile. Love him. And so sorry for you all.

Dear Tom, Kelly, Sydney, Bryan and sweet Sam
What a beautiful "Celebration of Life"...
I am so amazed at your families strength and endurance. We are all so blessed to have been a part of Carl's life, I feel so honored to have been a very small part of his life. He touched my heart in a very special way that I will forever hold close to my heart. He looked like an angel lying in his casket, there were so many special gifts put in with him, the children that came forward to share memories it was amazing how they just went up front and took the microphone and shared and cryed...Carl you WERE an angel amoung us....the poems were perfect, the readings, the songs, so much emotion put into the whole "Celebration of Life" ceremony... Kelly and Tom, you did your son proud!

I want to share a story with you from my inspirational readings...
Autumn Leaves
The leaves of autumn-burnished gold, dusty red, muted orange, and bright yellow-float through the air and cover the ground, a glorious tribute to what was and soon will be no more.

Does it seem strange that God would invest such exquisite beauty in a season of dying? He knows that unless we are willing to celebrate the end of what we know, we will not enter into what is yet to be.

It doesn't matter what we are facing, whether the end of our physical lives, the end of a lifelong dream, the end of a marriage or a long-term relationship, the passing of our youth, or our children leaving home. God encourages us to see the beauty in the leaves of autumn and trust Him for what lies ahead, including the glory of Heaven. God will never disappoint us when we place our hope in Him.

All-knowing Father, help me to appreciate the beauty of autumn leaves as I walk with You into the future.

The dove and balloon release was touching beyond words. Carl was there with us-I felt him. Strongly.
We love you all so much.
We have a friendship and bond that lasts forever.

God Bless You.
We will always pray for you.

We are now in New York for surgery with Dr. LaQuaglia. Then headed towards stem cells next week. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I, also, didn't personally know Carl very well, but I sure felt like I did. I am a friend of his godmother, Janet's. I am so very sorry that Carl didn't get enough time for that miracle we were all praying for. You are an amazing family ... your strength is truly inspiring. Your little Carl and your whole family has made such an impact on so many people's lives...we have learned to take more time with our own children and never take what we have for granted. Carl is a legacy, and he will be remembered always.

Kelly and Tom and family, I am praying that you are doing okay right at the moment. I know you will be living moment by moment for awhile. The more I think about it, you both need to go visit with Anne Orth. Make an appointment to go see her. She is one of those incredibly strong women and has such a wonderful faith. I heard her talk about the fact that Tim is with her every moment now. Meet her for coffee or something. You will love her and she will help you get through this along with that wonderful family of yours.
On a really funny note, Fred and I are going to play in a dodgeball league. Isn't that just a hoot. I will be the biggest target out there. I know I am just going to get creamed. The rules talk about wearing a helmet and a mouthpiece. Maybe you should join us on Wednesday nights. I am going to be so good at whipping balls at people tonight. I was doing well for most of the morning but the stress headache just keeps getting worse. I think if I were home and could just let the tears flow, that would help. So you learn from my headache and continue to let those tears flow. They are healing.
Love you,

Kelly, Tom and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss!! Carl will be dearly missed. We were blessed to have met him & your beautiful family. Although we only met him briefly, he has touched our lives forever. His determination to help others, selling lemonade from his hospital bed, for example has made me realize that we can make a difference. We MUST make a difference, for Carl, for Alex and the many more precious angels that are too numerous to mention.
Please know we are holding all of you close in thought and prayer though this most difficult time.
May God embrace you with His love and peace that only He can bring,

Tom, Kelly and family: I am not able to attend the funeral today but you are in my thoughts and prayers! I was so touched by the visitation yesterday that I decided to vist Carl's page. I was amazed at what I read, never having visited it before. Tom and Kelly, you are two amazing parents, to have to go through something like this is so unreal to me. But Carl's death has taught me to hug my kids more, take the time to really listen to how their day at school was, to be more patient and understanding. It's too bad it took Carl's death to make me (and others I'm sure) realize how our children are a gift from God and that we truly need to take to spend with them and listen to what they have to say. I was having a difficult time with my faith and wondering why God would do something like this. I didn't even know what to say to you at the visitation, I'm sorry for that. But what can you say when something like this happens. Again, you are in my prayers and may your family and friends continue to carry you through this very difficult time. God bless you and your family and may Carl watch over all of us!

I will always remember his tractor races in the hospital hallway, and the lemonade stand that he set up for the nurses. I had hoped to be with you today, but again.. work calls. I'm sure the nurses that are not able to make it to the funeral are with you in spirit...we all loved Carl too and will miss him very much.

How deeply touched and moved to read your latest journal entry and to look at the Love and Prayers from all the lives that Carl touched in the guest book. Carl touched more lives in 4 years then most people touch in an entire lifetime...Bless His Heart...I have followed along on Car-Car's page for almost two years as I know how Special he was to Diane and Sophia Donnarumma. Diane always asked for prayers on Sophia's page for Carl..I read his page daily as I do hers. I only wish that I could have met the Little guy whom so many people loved and cherished..With Carl's passing there will be a large void in everyones life that he touched. That "Impish" little grin and that Wonderful Little Smile of his will be in My Heart forever...
God called Precious Carl to Heaven but the Legacy he left behind will always be with you...

I wish that I could be there tomorrow but know that I am thinking of you and your family. Carl was one special little boy and has touched sooooo many hearts. Thank you for doing such a great job of keeping us all updated on how Carl was doing. It was a ritual at my house to check in on Carl daily. I hope that you will keep us updated on how things are going for you in the future. You and your family are forever in my hearts and will always remain in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You All.

I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you and your family. We have 4 boys, 1 in our community and 3 in towns surrounding us, who are all fighting cancer. I am sad about Carl's passing but know that he, along with Eliza Mae, is in a better place.

Dear Tom and Kelly,

We do not know each other but several others have pointed me to your Web site. I am so very sorry that Carl has died. There is probably no journey as difficult as this for a parent.

Carl's soul is with Jesus and God takes the death of his saints very seriously. In spite of such tremendous pain for the parents, we know that God did what is best for Carl. The suffering Carl had in this life will never be wasted by God.

I will pray that God makes His presence known in your deep pain. Again, I am so very, very sorry. I weep with you.

God bless,

Dearest Tom, Kelly and family,
Praise God,
who did not ignore my prayer
or hold back His love from me. Psalm 66:20

Nothing can be louder or more intimidatig than silence when we are waiting for an answer to our prayers.
In the nighttime of the soul, God's silence thunders down at us, rattling our confidence and leaving us wondering if He has abandoned us.

At those times when God is silent, we must place our hope in two mighty truths: the truth of God's sovereignty and the truth of His faithfulness. God answers all our prayers, but always in His own time and in His own way. When we place our hope in Him, we will not be disappointed-
even when the answer that comes is not what we expected.

When the heavens seem like brass, and we cannot hear His voice, we are wise to trust Him and wait patiently. It is in these times that our faith is tested, strengthened, and established.

Father God, when I do not hear Your voice, help me to rest in Your constant love as I wait for Your answer to my prayer.

I have no words. I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't sign his book much, but I checked on Carl often. I loved his beautiful smile! I wish I had some wise words to offer you to ease your pain, Unforntunately, I do not. However, I'm sure that Carl was met at the Gate by Sweet Cheyenne, Connor and Troy and many others. He will be in good hands until we are all joined together in that beautiful place!
My prayers are with you all and will be in the days to come.
Carl, Thanks for the smiles! Godspeed, little man, Godspeed!

We are friends of Eric Fischer's and have been following Carl's journey since we learned of him through Eric. We do not have the words to convey our sympathy to you at the time of such a great loss. Carl had an infectious spirit that rose above the trials his body faced on Earth. We'll never know God's reason for taking such a soul from a world that desperately needs souls like Carl's, but He has His hands full tonight now that Carl is free of the ailments that slowed him down on Earth.

You remain in our prayers.

The following words are so often associated with Our Lord as He died for us on the cross. Actually, they came from Psalms and it was tradition that a Jewish mother would say them with her child or children at bedtime - much like my generation repeated "Now I lay me down to sleep..."

"Into your hands I commit my spirit..." Psalm 31:5. Yes, into His hands - always - as hard as it is to let go.

Dedicated to the Robinson Family from Little Carl

IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW

I know your hearts are heavy and sad
Mom And Dad that I have left you.

But I am in Heaven now, and I've never
once been left alone.

Oh, I wish you could see me now.
Heaven is a beautiful place to be.
Jesus is holding me on his lap,
with an awesome smile for me.

Oh, the skies are never gray here,
but filled with beautiful lights.
Angels are singing for me. Their
voices are so clear.

I'm in the presence of your loved ones
and there isn't one tear.

And although I know you feel the pain
....please try to let it go.

Remember me but don't dwell on my
being gone. As some day we will be
together as one happy family.

Yes, I'm in heaven where my pain
and suffering is no more,
with Our Friend Jesus the one
who we all know.

But if you could see me now,
you'd know I'am happy here.

Carl~~
When you earned your wings honey, you did not go alone.
Part of all of us went with you, when God called you home.
Even though we can not see you, you are alway by our side.
The chain has been broken and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls each one us us we can link that chain again.
Now that you are in heaven, and riding on that John Deere. Please remember all of us that are still on earth down here.
Say Hi to all the other kids that I miss so dear. In my prayers, I've asked each one of them to help take care of you. When you need to be held and need some love, Jessica and Jill will be there for you. When you need to have a friend to talk about Shrek and Harley's, Samantha and Christopher would love to talk. Dustin would love to take you fishing and even sing some silly songs. You and Kaitlyn can show Heaven what silly string is all about!
I miss you already you little stinker....
I can hear your little voice,,,Yelling down from Heaven---
SPACIE,,,SPACIE. I love you little Carl!

Tom & Kelly~
Thank you for sharing your little Carcar with us!!

I don't know how you are making it through this. This has to be the hardest thing a parent can ever do. This morning we were talking about that Christmas special that was on when we were kids. The one with Jody from Family Affair. It was called "The Littlest Angel." Do you remember it? Can't you just see our little CArl asking a million questions? And Jody always had that full head of red curls. Since he "Wiked" Janet's red hair, I can just imagine him with a full head of beautiful red curls. Oh the stories he will be able to tell those other angels. I am sure heaven is a more beautiful place, and there is a lot more action, now that Carl is there.
I know I look at children as a more precious commodity today. Carl and his family have taught me so much.

We don't have Internet at home, so I just signed on this morning and read about Carl going home to be in Jesus' arms. I wish we could be there...you have inspired all of us, and Carl will stay everlasting alive in our hearts/minds!!!!
Big, big love, hugs, prayers,
Dena and kiddos (they might want to post something later this week, but I don't want to tell them at school, so I'll wait until tonight after Jonathan's basketball game...he has Carl's picture (on his Harley) as the front page of his middle school notebook/binder.)

Redwood Falls, MN US - Monday, November 29, 2004 11:23 AM CST

Good morning dear friends,
My prayers are that you are getting enough rest to sustain you in the days ahead. I framed Carl's picture that is on the sight now and got out all of the other pictures that I have printed off along the way. What a beautiful boy. Thank God that all of the memories you have of him both before and during his illness are so wonderful. He truly was a servant of the Lord. His purpose was perfect in God's sight and is also perfect in our sight now that he is with his Heavenly Father. Eternity with Jesus, what an awesome thought! We all have short lives here on earth and each day we are closer to being with Carl forever!!
BEING REMINDED EACH DAY
Being reminded each day of that day is a pain that many live through.
Losing a child hurts like no other hurt. Surviving is not an easy thing to do.
I, too, dread to see the sun rise tomorrow.
My heart tells me to just sleep through the day. But nothing will erase the agonizing sorrow that I've known since you went away.
Oh how I've longed to see my child again. To look into your eyes once more.
To know what you would have contributed to life. To see what avenues were yours to explore!
Now I dread for "that day" to arrive. And I know how other mothers feel.
That day draws nigh for her to cry again. And that terrific pain is just as real.
For the day that my child left my side, it's a day that I want to erase.
Oh how it brings such misery and pain for me. Now, oh yes now, it's here for me to face.
I'll need a helping hand to get through each hour that passes me by.
I'll need some hands to help me stand and ears to hear me cry.
So take a moment this day and think of me. Your prayers will see me through. And when the sun goes down tomorrow... I'll begin another year of weeping anew.

Mere words cannot express the sorrow that Carl's passing will leave in all of our hearts. I have felt the pain of losing a son and my heart aches for you. I hope you can find comfort in all the prayers that are being lifted up for you.
I looked at the sky today and saw the marks left by a jet and thought Carl must have found a cloud-mobile and is rippin' up the skies!
You have such wonderful and loving memories. If all of us gave so much thought into making sure our children lived such full and happy lives as you provided for Carl, all our children would be much better off. You are wonderful parents and you have been blessed in so many ways. God will continue to bless you.

As I try to write behind tears it is hard to know what to say. Please find comfort and strength in all the prayers that are being said for all of you. As I can see by all the entries Carl sure touched alot of people. What an amazing little boy! You can be so very proud of him!!! He is now at peace with our Heavenly Father.

Tonight is my first night back to work after my Thanksgiving vacation. I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear about the loss of Carl. I have always smiled at work when I see other children riding the little tractors, only because to see Carl ride around on them was priceless! I also smile when I see other moms do laundry all hours of the night, as you always did. To read the guestbook tells one how many lives your family has touched!! Your love has spread across so many states. Carl touched the hearts of all of the nurses here at St. Mary's. I want you to know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi, Thought I would send the lyrics to a song I really like, of course its better with music. It was sung at both Scott and Dads funerals and brings me some comfort. Wishing you comfort and continued strength. Love, Ellen Hanson

Artist: John Mcdermott
Album: Unknown
Title: One Small Star

When i need to feel you near me
I stand in this quiet place
Where the silver light of countless stars
Falling on my face
Though they all shine so brightly
Somehow it comforts me to know
That some that burn the brightest
Died an eternity ago

Chorus
But your light still shines
It's one small star to guide me
And it helps me to hold back the dark
Your light's still shining in my heart

I'm learning how to live without you
And i never thought i could
And even how to smile again
I never thought i would
And i cherish your heart's memories
Cause they bring you back to life
Some caress me gently
And some cut me like a knife

Chorus

Can your soul be out there some where
Beyond the infinity of time
I guess you've found some answers now
I'll have to wait for mine
When my light joins with yours one day
We'll shine through time and space
And one day fall on a distant age
Upon some stranger's face

But your light still shines
It's one small star to guide me
And it helps me to hold back the dark
Your light's still shining in my heart
Your light's still shining in my heart

Words can not express how sad we are to hear about Carl's passing. He was such a spirited young boy. He loved to be with all of the older kids. He will always remain in our hearts and prayers. As with all of your family.
We will never forget "little Baldy" asking Michelle or Me,
"What ya doin'?" He was the spark to everyone's eyes and hearts. And at the Ronald McDonald House.
May you know that we will be thinking of you durning this trying time. It is hard to believe that CarCar is now a guardian Angel. I still see him riding his bike down the hallways. Or on Andrews skateboard riding in the parking lot. Now he is riding above all of us all he wants.
May you find some peace knowing that everyone enjoyed Carl and Carl enjoyed his life.
May God be with all of you and give you the strength to move forward. But also to remember all of the good times and memories that you have of that handsome boy. Our love with all of you forever.

Dear Tom, Kelly and family,
We were very sorry to hear about Carl. It has been a long journey for Carl and family and friends. It is amazing how a little boy can touch so many lives. I believe he has taught us all many things in the short time he was here with you and your family. Now it will be another beginning for Carl, I can't think of a better angel to have on our side up in heaven. You have always been so strong during these trying times. God will bless all of you in a very special way. Carl will live on in many peoples lives forever. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers always.

Carl is at peace now.although we all know how difficult it must be for you to lose a child. He is in heaven with the beautiful angels. He was such a trooper. Joy kept me informed about him often.

Good memories and peace to you all,

It is with a heavy heart that I find your guestbook today. I sincerely wish that I could of followed your beautiful family earlier.
My Dad, who's name is also Carl, works in Morton and I believe stays in the hotel mentioned during the week. He works for SMC in the quarry there operating a drill.
May you find peace in the happy memories you shared with Carl and in knowing that he is flying cancer free with the angels who have gone before him.
PRECIOUS CHILD

Words and Music by Karen Taylor-Good

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

He was such a cute kid, and I loved checking up on him with this website. Your family is in my prayers. He put up such a great fight, and he has not lost, for he is in a much better place than you or I. What a cute and precious child!!!!!!! Take care and stay strong!

We are soooo sorry to hear that Carl has gone to Heaven !!!! We will always love him & keep him in our hearts, the little bundle of energy with an awesome smile.
Still struggling to find words.
We love you all.
I would like to share a poem I read on a website & saved, it brings me comfort to read when I miss loved ones who have gone to Heaven

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I�m not there to see;
If the sun should rise & find your eyes,
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn�t cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn�t get to do or say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you�ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I�d have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don�t think we�re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I�m right here, in your heart.

Love & Hugs,
Keith, Ann, Chris & Justin <akhauck@optonline.net>

I have not signed your guestbook before, but have checked on Carl daily since I met him at the Ronald McDonald House in Rochester this past summer. My niece, Eliza Mae, was there, too, and we got to know Carl just a bit. Every time I went to visit Eliza, I would ask Mom and my sister, Jessica, for all the Carl stories - and there were usually several!

My heart broke for you this morning when I read of Carl's passing. The doctors at Mayo sent Eliza home this week because there is nothing more that they can do for her. We've spoken of Carl several times to our friends here, and each time, Eliza would smile or giggle. You could tell she knew who we were talking about! We told Eliza that when she gets to heaven, Carl will be waiting for her there so they can play. I told her that I was sure Carl would have some sort of Hot Wheels toy they could ride on together!

I know that it will be pure joy for Carl and Eliza to sit with Jesus and know no pain from cancer and all the medicines, but it will be painful for us here, missing them. Know that my prayers are with you.

Dear Kelly, Tom, Sam, Syd and Bryan,

I had to send you this song as it was the most beautiful song I have ever heard at a funeral. I imagine Carl at Jesus feet now....He is just saying to all..."If You Could See Me NOW"

Love you!

Mary Hollway

IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW
Our Prayers have all been answered
I finally arrived
The healing that had been delayed
Has now been realized
No one's in a hurry
There's no schedule to keep
We're all enjoying Jesus
Just sitting at His feet

If you could see me now
I'm walking streets of gold
If you could see me now
I'm standing tall and whole
If you could see me now
You'd know I've seen His face
If you could see me now
You'd know the pain's erased

You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place
If you could see me now

My light and temporary trials
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
Though we've had our sorrows
They could never compare
What Jesus has in store for us
No language can share
If only you could see me now.

Chorus

Dearest Tom, Kelly and family,
This morning we awoke to a beautiful snowfall, the front lawn was glistening of snowflakes and the wonderous beauty of the the Lord's handiwork. As I prepared for my day with my family the phone rang and I was told of Carl's entrance to heaven, as my brother in law shared the news of Carl,I closed my eyes and had this beautiful vision of Carl sitting on a red sled being pulled by my son Daniel, the yard was filled with the first snow of winter and in the background was a very peaceful farmyard, one like only heaven could have. This vision gave me much peace and I and Terry went to visit Tom, Kelly and family this evening to share our love and hugs.It is always so hard to do, to know what to say, what to bring, what to do, but it is so important to do what is in your heart, so it is with love that we came to you and with love that we keep your family in our prayers, it is with love that we tell you to keep the faith and hold family close,let us help you, because we feel so helpless.

Our precious son Daniel was called home to Jesus 3 years ago on Dec. 28, it is a long hard journey, but with so many family and friends we have weathered the storm and the memory of his passing is softening, it doesn't quite as much to talk about him, his smile is always in our hearts and we will forever remember Daniel our son....

Carl will forever be your son, a brother, a friend, a cousin, a grandson, a nephew, he will forever be in our hearts as an inspiration,a young boy who took the time to Love, Laugh and Live

Thank you dear Tom and Kelly for sharing your precious son with all of us, you are truely an inspiration, may God bless you with peace knowing that precious Carl is resting in Jesus's arms and sledding on a little red sled pulled by Daniel and all the other Angels through the hills of heaven in the purest of snow......

Remember...
"Friends are angels
who lift us to our feet
when our wings
have trouble remembering
how to fly."

We promise to keep you in prayer,
all of our love and hope in Jesus...

Kelly, Tom, Bryan, Syd and Sam,
There really are no words...Just want you to know we're thinking of you and praying for your strength.

We little knew friday morning,
God was going to call Carl's name,
In life we loved him dearly,
In death we do the same.

It has broken our hearts to lose him,
But he did not go alone,
For part of us went with him,
The day God called Carl home.

He left us beautiful memories,
His love will be our guide,
And though we cannot see him,
He'll always be at our side.

The family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Love, Krista, Michael, Chance and Shane

Words cannot express the sorrow I am feeling, so I can only imagine yours. The one thing that keeps coming to my mind is the story about John Frank and the angel. I KNOW that he had many greeters waiting for him and oh, how he will have fun there. I can truly understand why God wanted him so badly. He was truly a wonderful little boy. Never forget,he had such an important purpose here on earth and I know he fulfilled that purpose...to teach us all so many things. Kelly, Tom, Sydney, Bryan & Sam...you are very lucky to have had him in your everyday lives. My love & support goes out to you all. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to stop or call.

Tom, Kelly, Bryan, Sydney, and Sam,
Father God,
Where or where do I even start my prayers for this beautiful angel Carl and his wonderful family? Thank You God for giving them almost 5 years with Carl. We know Lord that our children are just on loan from You and we know how much You want them back home with You. We praise You for the great life Carl had in those short years. He must have smiled more than any other boy his age ever has, huh? His Mommy told everyday in her remarkable journals what a good day he was having no matter what was being thrown his way. I thank You God for her gracious love and the time she spent sharing Carl's testimony with everyone. Please Heavenly Father keep Your loving arms tight around all of them now in this, the saddest, time they have ever had to face as parents and brothers and sisters of Carl. May we be reminded that all things good come from You, God, especially eternal life with You.
Psalm 24:1 "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."
REMEMBER ME
Remember me...for all I was, my stengths and weaknesses, my dreams, my disappointments, my havits that tested your patience, my expectations, my imperfections.
Remember me...for times shared, times of work and play, times of prayer and praise, times of silence, times of laughter and tears, times of hope and despair.
Remember me...for things left undone, for unfinished projects, for endearments left unspoken, for empty embraces.
Remember me...the texture of my hair, the smell of my skin, the crease in my brow, the light in my eyes, the touch of my hand.
In all your remembering, know that memories are created by living. My wish for you Mommy, Daddy, Bryan, Sydney, and Sam is that you would continue to go on living and that your story may continue to unfold.
Carl, we love you sooo much and am so ashamed of myself for not driving over and meeting you in person. Praise God we will meet in God's eternal kingdom!!
Jesus loves you all and so do we.
Love in Christ,

We are deeply saddened to hear of Carl's passing. We so hoped his recent treatments would be the miracle you were looking for.

We wish we had words that could miraculously take away your pain. But at a time like this, however, there are just no words to be found.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathies, and know that we will continue to keep you in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers. We will miss Carl tremendously. No finer a spirit has ever graced the halls (and terrorized them too!) of St. Mary's.

Dear friends, I am so sorry to hear of Carl's becoming an angel! The tears are flowing and I don't even know how to begin to send you comfort... I know from Michaela's passing that it mainly mattered that people promised to remember Michaela and her brave battle. I promise to remember too, Carl's brave battle and your families lovely and dignified way of helping Carl live. You did a beautiful job, as God knew you would, and now Carl is at rest and looking over you all. I know Michaela greeted him at Heaven's gate and showed him all the lovely things to do and see. He is at peace and I will pray for yours now! I'll pray for your comfort, peace and strength.
I am soo sorry for your loss. As I said with Michaela's death, our loss is heaven's gain.

I read Maya's web page and I would often hear about her friend Carl. I never made the connection until tonight that Sophia and Maya while living far from each other were both talking about the same person. I pray for you all during this most difficult time.

Our deepest sympathies for you and the extended family. I am in tears as I write, I cannot express how sad we are, and what a great loss this is. I was just talking about Carl yesterday at Molly's hockey game. Molly wanted to buy him a Sponge Bob game for Christmas. God Bless you all, your faith has been a daily inspiration to me, Kelly. May the same loving God take care of you now. You are in our prayers!!

We will be down for the funeral..

Dear Tom, Kelly and family,
No words can begin to express how much Carl and your family has meant to us and our sadness in this loss. You expressed so well Carl's gift of touching lives with the simple joy with which he embraced life. His impact on Anna has been profound; I'm not sure how we'll break this news. Carl's picture is plastered all over her dorm room. We will cherish the privilege of getting to know Carl and our memory of his smile. God knows well your pain and exactly what you need; may you know well the comfort of his embrace and the assurance of his love.
Love from us to your family,

Words can not even begin to say how sorry we are. Carl was so special. He has a huge place in our hearts--as all of you do. He was Eric's special buddy. He touched so many-so many different times.
We are sure he is keeping heaven even happier than it was before. We think their is a very special big wheel in heaven with Carls name on it. He is now going, and going and going and going--he doesn't even need to stop.

Love to you all

I am so sorry to hear that Carl passed away. I am also so shocked, I was praying so hard that the MIGB was going to help. I can't imagine how you are feeling. I am happy that he passed peacefully and is now running free and feeling well in heaven.

Carl is one of the first children I found after being introduced to the caringbridge site, and you were the first parent I had connected with and sent "Bob the Builder" stuff too. I still have the picture of Carl holding the books and stuff, right next to my computer. Thank you for sharing Carl with me, he changed my life.

Again I am so sorry. I wish I could verbilize how much.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Carl had a place in my heart as I know he did many, many others. I have checked in on him for over a year and what a special little guy he was !! Although my heart breaks for you, I pray that you will find peace in the knowledge that he is no longer in pain and is playing at the feet of our Lord. You will see him again.......

This is a part of one of my most favorite gospel songs, sung by the Gaither Vocal Band written by Scott Wesley Brown I want to share with you.............

He Will Carry You

There is no problem too big, God cannot solve it.
There is no mountain too tall, He cannot move it.
There is no storm too dark, God cannot calm it.
There is no sorrow too deep, He cannot soothe it.

If He carried the weight of the world upon his shoulders,
I know my brother that He will carry you!
If he carried the weight of the world up on his shoulders,
I know my sister that He will carry you !

He said come to me all who are so weary and I will give you rest.

If He carried the weight of the world upon his shoulders,
I know my brother that He will carry you!
If He carried the weight of the world upon his shoulders,
I know my sister that He will carry you !

He said come to me all who are so weary and I will give you rest!
(*Scott Wesley Brown)

God will be with your family as you go through these next days, weeks and months.

I am very very sorry to hear about Carl. But I want to thank all of you for sharing your precious Carl with me. He has touched my life and changed me forever. I love Carl so much and just thank you all for sharing him with me. He will always be loved and remembered by many. I have never met such a child that has changed so many lives. A four year old boy has touched so many different people. He will always be loved and missed. He is now in a wonderful place with no pain and smiling down on all of us! Thank you.

Kelly, Tom, and family,

I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

"Letter From Heaven"
To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
and those four short loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile.
God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....
you're coming here to me."

Kelly, Tom and Family~
I was just stunned when I got on here this morning to check in on Carl. I am so sorry about all of this and you have my deepest sympathy. I didn't know Carl, but learned of him through John Frank's website and I have been following him since. He really touched my heart and I prayed for him and your family every night.
It is really unfair but now we know that he is no longer in pain and in a beautiful place. You are right that he is with you in spirit and he always will be.
May God Bless you and your family in this very tuff time in your lives. Carl has touched many hearts and I wish I could have met him personally.
My heart goes out to each and every one of you. You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care.
With Deepest Sympathy

Robinson Family,
Happy Thanksgiving. I would like to share the 10 commandments of thankful living with you:
1) Be thankful for prayers answered, known and unknown.
2) Be thankful for habits, broken or avoided.
3) Be thankful for sins forgiven, both public and private.
4) Be thankful for healings, seen and unseen.
5) Be thankful for the storms of life that have blown out,
blown over or passed you by and never touched you.
6) Be thankful for friends, old and new.
7) Be thankful for impossibilities that become
possibilities.
8) Be thankful for gifts, given and for gifts received.
9) Be thankful for the possibilities that God put WITHIN
you.
10) Be thankful for hope that springs eternal and never
dies.
Thank you, God, that we can give thanks in everything, for all things. You are our God and we praise You. Help us, Father to excercise the 10 commandments of thankful living, and may we be thankful always for all things and in all circumstances. Amen & Amen
Love in Christ

Dear Heavenly Father,
Please be with Carl in this hard, hard time for him. He is such an awesome little boy and he needs Your healing hands upon his liver today. Take away the swelling and the pain that comes with a sick liver. Bless his family and they are so very thankful for all You do for them. As we approach Thanksgiving Day, Lord, we want to give You all the glory for this great country, for our troops that are fighting and for those who have recently lost their lives.
May God's compassion for you make you more compassionate.

Hi Kelly and Tom! What time did Carl have his appt at Mayo today? I ask, because about 11:30 a.m. our time (1:30 p.m. your time) I felt this sudden need to pray for Carl...and I prayed mightily for him, while holding my hand over his handprint on our frig door. The kids then prayed too..for guidance for the doctors, for a miraculous healing if it be the Lord's will, and for peace for all of you this holiday season. Glad that you're all over the viral bug and that Grandma got to come home! :-)

Please also pray for Chelsea..an 11 y/o from our community who just entered the hospital today to be treated for newly diagnosed lymphoma (with metasteses at least to the chest). Her mom is a single mom who just had to quit her job (without any benefits) to take Chelsea to Seattle for treatment. Chelsea has 3 younger siblings also.

Carl darling,
I am so happy that you are home for a while and pray that you were able to sell popcorn like you planned. My heart is so sad because you are not feeling well right now. Please rest up so your Thanksgiving Day with family will be the best one yet. We are praying, praying, praying for you to be free of this beast very soon. You are such a lucky boy to have our great God and Savior taking care of you. We do not know why sickness occurs but we know that Jesus is with us every step of the way.
My meditation for today says: Anticipate, endure and talk to God.
Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in h ope, patient in afflication, faithful in prayer."
We love all of you very much. God Bless America and all of those fighting for our freedom. HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

It is great that Carl still has such a great positive attitude, and the "hailing the cab" story is priceless!!!!! Which 4H group are you all involved with?

Kelly, your strength always amazes me. This morning I was watching Pastor Joel from that Lakewood, whatever, church. He talked about not loosing your joy. Know that God has you right where He wants you and He is using this time for his plan. Rely on your faith, because God is working through you. Isn't it just amazing. Your family's face just popped right into my mind. It is like your bike ride. It might be scary and filled with anxiety now, but how much fun will it be when it is over to look back and say "PHEW!" Keep the faith, God is working, we just don't comprehend right at the moment, but we will.

Hi Kelly and Family!
So happy to hear Carl and Tom are back home!
I bet it was an exhauting trip for everyone.
Just traveling, by itself, is tiring!
It will take a few days to recover.
Loved the cab story-what cutie pie!!

Lots of Love and Prayers!!!

Peace in Jesus

We look for storms to cease
and think that will bring peace.
We retreat, thinking ourselves safe
within the walls of our own making.
But peace is not a place,
nor is it an end to conflict,
trouble or strife.
Peace is a Person.
He who calmed the sea
and quieted the storm
was still in control
when the waves were raging.
In the eye of the storm,
in the serenity of His love,
Jesus is always the same.
He is our Peace.

Carl,
We are praying for your fever to go away, for your tummy to feel better, and for you to get home soon. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and you sure do top our list of people to be thankful for. You have endured more already than anyone should ever have to go through to be healthy. God is good and even though we may not understand all of this, we know that He does and we will all be better followers because of your circumstances in our lives.
I got to go over and get Kaden up for school and onto the bus 2 mornings in a row so I am very blessed for this. Tomorrow Kaden, his Mom Tara, and NaNa will head up to his new little cousin Sara's house for the week-end. Please pray for travel mercies for us.
Give your Mom a big hug and kiss from us. She inspires me everyday with her journals.
Love in Christ

Hello Robinson Family!!!

I am glad things are going well with Carl and Tomma!!! I am just praying and wishing and hoping and praying some more that this will help Carl out!!! I know it will!!!

I think I am coming home on Friday...woohoo!!! I have training in Paynesville next week all week (until Turkey day), so I just decided to head south a little early!

Jessie and I went to see "Polar Express" last night. It was a beautiful movie! SO NEAT!!!!! (we also cried because we are bawl babies ---and love Christmas and wish we were 8 years old again). Maybe a bunch of us older cousins can take the younger ones out to the movies during Thanksgiving weekend or something??? It is definitely a good one for them to see. I hope it is in Redwood when I come home!

I am so proud of all of you guys!!! Your strength, determination and love is such an inspiration and a joy for me to see!!!! I love each of you very very very much and miss you almost as much as I love you!!! (so that is a whole lot!!)

Hope you are all staying warm and well. I'm huggin' you in my heart!!!

Love

Glad to hear things are going well. Hope his tummy pain goes away very soon. Sounds like he's doing good in isolation but I think they better clear the halls when he gets out of there:):):):) Hey Carl, Chris was jealous when he heard you had chicken nuggets !!!! I'll bet you enjoyed the walk to get them Tom.
Patti called last night & told us about their visit with Tom & Carl, it sounds like they all had a lot of fun.
Sounds like you're all doing good back in MN & enjoying your time together ( even the homework part ) :):):):) As you said, try to keep busy & before you know it they'll be home !!!!

Although I am happy Tom gets to spend this quality time with Carl, it makes me sad to read about you being here and not there with them, Kelly. We all know where your heart is. It is so hard when you have been so much a part of all of this to let Tom handle it now. Part of it is just that mother's instinct to be right there. I know Tom is very capable, but I can only imagine the way it all pulls on your heart. I am happy for Sam and Syd that they have you home. What a hard decision this had to have been for your family. Maybe God was thinking you needed a rest and the only way He was going to get you to take it was to enforce this on you. Something tells me I hit the nail right on the head. But, we will lift Carl and his Dad and the rest of his family up high. God led you here, he has big plans for all of you. Take care and stay strong.
Love,

Kelly,
Thank you for the great update. Prayers are on their way up for Carl, Tom, and the lost bags!
Kaden and I are hanging out today so we will pray a few times for Carl, too. Right now he is constructing a wooden object of which he will paint. We have marvelous community centers in SF and are taking advantage of their great childrens activities. He is out of school today. Later we will go to Polar Express and then home to play "war". (A boy thing!!).
Lord,
We come to you with light hearts and yet some heaviness in them today as Carl starts yet another treatment plan in hopes of beating the Beast NB. Be with Tom and Kelly as they have different needs today as they are separated. Love them, give them peace, rest, hope beyond hope, and a calm spirit. Take Carl's leg and tummy pains away so he will have a comfortable day. Thank You Lord for this beautiful, cool, fall weather in which our harvest can be collected. Keep all of the farmers safe as they work tireless hours to reap the crops. Thank You Lord for Your unconditional love and salvation. Amen

Carl and Kelly,
Have been praying,praying, praying, for all of you during yet another busy, hectic week for you all.
What good news that soon Carl will be on his way to CHOP to get well!
God is good and we have such great healthcare facilities in our blessed USA. We praise God for keeping Carl's disease at bay so he can truly enjoy each day. Fall is such a beautiful time of year, but the leaaves are just about gone now. The sky is still a beautiful blue today and the temps are in the 60's in parts of our great state.
We thank our God and all of His faithful people for re-electing President Bush, but even more in SD, for electing John Thune.
Jesus cares!
1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because He cares for you."
Have a good and Godly day.
Love in Christ

I guess we don't watch our Disney videos enough.... Anyhow, thanks for stopping last night. The boys were simply marvelous and it is always good to see your smiling face.

Carl,
I pray that your port surgery went well today and you will be home for trick or treating on Sunday if that is in the plan.
Carl, Kaden has a new cousin, Sara Katelyn, born 10-22 but is in the Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery in Sioux Valley Hospital in SF. She is my new grand-daughter, too. She is a beautiful little redheaded sweetheart. Please pray for her continued healing. She may be able to go home in about 5 or 6 days to Ellendale, ND. She got to fly from Aberdeen, SD, hospital to SVH. She flew in a helicopter for 4 minutes and then it had mechanical trouble so she flew the rest of the way in an airplane---all at 1 day old!!
Imagine the greatest wonder. God is greater.
Psalm 145:3 "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom."
Carl, we pray that our great and merciful God will use His greatness for the true miracle of healing for you. We love you very much.
Love in Christ
Jerri, Kaden, & Sara <pakrfan1@direcway.com>
- Friday, October 29, 2004 9:26 PM CDT

Dear family,
I hope the surgery went well.
We pray for you and I'm sure you will find the right path, Carl deserves it.
We will arrive to Rochester november the 4th and if you still are there it would be a pleasure to see you.
We will stay in our friend's house and their phone number is 507 5350142.
Big hug to all of you.

"He who gives heed to the word will prosper, and happy is he who trusts in the Lord". Proverbs 16.20.

Just put your worries in the Lords hands and know that he will open the doors where they need to be opened. Carl is definately in good hands. I will keep Carl in my prayers. I am glad to know that you find peace with your decisions, that means the Lord is guiding you. Give Carl a big hug for me.

OK,OK....(cough,cough)....Congrats to the Red Sox & their Fans !!!! Phew, that wasn't too painful !!!! Actually, they played a Great game & they earned their spot in the World Series !!!! Ouch again. I know what you're saying about rooting for the Underdog, I'm the same way & from my understanding, the Cardinals would be the team to root for ( & Cardinals are Keith's favorite bird ).We had to laugh, we figured whichever team won, we had it covered, we also have an "Astro" van :):):):) We do have other Red Sox Fans in the family, my sister & her hubby, children & grandchildren all live in Mass. & are mostly Red Sox Fans ( a few of them are YANKEES FANS !!!! ). Hope you all enjoy watching the World Series !!!!
Sorry to hear you needed platelets & red cells Carl. Glad Sydney was with you, I'll bet it was a lot of fun with her there too :):):):) I'm sure Everyone Loved your singing !!!! Feel good sweetie !!!!
Glad to hear you loved being at school !!!! Wishing for that spot to be opened for Head Start, that would be awesome !!!!
Hope you are able to go to Tweites Pumpkin Patch with your Camp Jornada friends tomorrow. I looked up their site & it looks like a fun place :):):):) Have a Great time !!!!
Bryan, have a good time with Emily & her family in Chicago !!!!
Well, it's getting late, snoozy time, catch ya later.

It was so nice spending time with you when Carl was at St Mary's. There is nothing like "old" friends :) Of course, Jacob loved the snuggles too!

Take care and have a great weekend!

I went with Fred to the Cedar Mt. Volleyball game the other night. He was officiating, and I wanted to see if he really did that, or it was just an excuse for a night out. (JUST KIDDING) Saw Mr. Carl there with Sheila and the girls. He is looking good. The bald head does something for him. It is definately a "chick magnet." Hopefully he will get rid of that magnet by the time he really wants a magnet. The picture at school looks wonderful. I wish every child was that excited to come to school everyday. I wish every teacher were that excited, too. Smiling faces like that definately help everyones' attitude. I know our Twins aren't playing anymore, but how about those Red Soxs! I think it is sad we are all so against the Yankees, but, Dougie M. is now a Red Sox, so we have an excuse. Enjoy your time at home with "All Your Children," Kelly. I know your kids are happy to be home with you. Love you!

Hi everyone. Just checking in and thought I would say howdy. So...howdy! I miss you very much Auntie Kelly. I am sorry you couldn't come to the shower...we had fun, but wasn't the same without our goofy Kel!!!!

I don't know when I will be home next...(besides this Wednesday night to sleep before going to Illinois for a wedding) So I might not see you until Thanksgiving (I can't believe it is that time of year again---almost). I miss you all very much.

I hope everything continues to get better with Carl. I just signed like 5 of those Jude's pumpkin deals with Carl's name on them at Grizzly's in Fargo (at the mall) today...I know it's not much but it's a great cause. :)

I'll maybe write you an email later tonight...Love you lots and miss you!!!!!!!

Hi Kelly!
Sure hope the line infection clears up compeltely and then stays away when Carl starts his new treatment. Hope you get out of the hospital as scheduled too!
I know just what you mean about the hospital stays. I remember we had at 4 seperate visits that were over a month long(recovering from chemo, infections, etc.) and one day does just blend with the next! And it is nice to see the new faces of nurses so you know it is a new day!
I also vividly recall one time we were in for a month after a round of chemo, waiting for counts to recover, and when we were FINALLY discharged, as we came down the escalater at the hopsital, Daniel fell, and we so had to go straight back to the hospial and be readmited.
So, just a thought, if you have escalators there, might want to take the elevator!! (smile)
My love and very strong prayers go out to you guys!
Gooooo Carl!!!!!!
We love yu all!!
Hugs to all!

Hi Kelly and Carl! I am glad that you've had some fun with friends while waiting for your discharge! I'll be praying that Thursday comes fast and you are home again before you know it! I know the hospital can be exhausting. The never-ending parade of nurses, docs, aides, it all get's annoying even though you love and appreciate them all. Groundhog day is a great description! Stay strong and Take care! Blessings!

Kelly, Sorry to hear you have to stay until Thursday, but at least it will save you the trip back. Maya had a lot of fun yesterday playing in the playroom, although I admit I was jealous when I saw your door closed this morning and realized Carl was still asleep. Maya was up at 4! Oh, and Happy Groundhog Day! LOL

Kelly,

We sure missed you at the shower on Saturday. It was a wonderful time, and a beautiful day. The day was missing your smiling face though!! I had a great time, and we received so many great things for the babies. It is hard to believe that they will be here by Christmas. We feel fortunate that they are going to be born into such a great family. It will be fun to have more little ones to run around with Carl and Sam, and the other cousins. (I know ours won't be running, but time goes so fast!) Before you know it, they will be trying to keep up :) Give Carl a hug for us. We miss you guys and look forward to having you back home. Take care. We love you!

Hello Carl and Kelly,
Thank you Kelly, for your positive attitude and great faith that you exhibit in everything you do each day.
Carl, I am so happy that your fever is being controlled and do pray with all of our hearts that you will be over your infection soon.
We are in Fargo, ND tonight staying with friends and I decided I just had to write you a note.
We love and miss you not being home at the farm. I bet all of your family miss you, too. How is Pica doing?
I am sorry that your Twins lost their game last evening, but I am glad you got homer hankies anyway.
Carl, please hang in there and pretty soon you will have the miracle that Jesus has just around every corner. He loves you so much and He will love and protect you always.
Love in Christ

What a strong Mom you are Kelly. I am so proud of your attitude and faith. If you are going to be stuck somewhere with a staph infection, what a good place to be stuck with it. I am glad you are at St. Mary's. We pray for you everyday, many times during the day. If we can do anything to help back here, please yell. Today I am hoping you get a pass to get out and walk through the leaves. Give Carl a big hug and make him give you a big one from us, too. Stay strong, Girlfriend.

Can you walk across the hall and give Holly a hug from me? Tell her it is from Kathy. I appreciate the assitance in getting it to Holly. I wish you the best and hopefully they can get Carl's fevers under control and the line infection clear. We will continue to keep you all in our prayers.

Hope you're all snuggled up watching the ballgame. When it started, They were waving the " Homer Hankies " & it made me smile thinking of the picture last year with you holding one:):):):) I think you guys started something, they said they haven't been around & they brought them back this year. Hey, I'm hearing some hooting & hollaring here in NY, is that you guys ????
Great numbers with your platelets !!!!

Dear Kelly and clan,
Wow! What a great picture of Carl in the Twins outfit! Yea Twins go strong.... I saw you folks at church last Sunday, but I didn't get to talk to you. I got stopped in another conversation. We celebrated Frank and Mary's
63rd anniversary that day. It was great to see Carl. I hear that he was very disappointed that they didn't have class with Patty. I was hoping that he would be able to attend this week. I know how Parker and Spencer love being with him. He looked so great and the platelet count made me very happy. But I felt badly that you had to stay in Rochester.However, it was a good place to be if you needed the care at that time. You have great faith and you said it well on the roller coaster ride. I hope that you can make it home for the shower, but if not stay put and cheer for the Twins and get the little man back on track. I am thrilled that the counts are good. God bless you and our prayers continue from the land of St. Mark's and Birch Coulee. Love and prayers, Sister Mary Fran

Well those Twins & Yankees sure know how to make baseball exciting, can't wait for the next game already.
Glad to hear you're having great weather there & can be outside more. It's been beautiful here too, a bit cool but I Love It !!!!
I've never heard of a tadpole kit, that must be fun to watch them.
Well, I have to scoot. Feel well Carl. Have a great day everyone.
Wishing you a safe & relaxing trip home !!!!

Hey Carl you look great in your shirt. When you grow up you can be a Twin and Eric will be a Yankee and you can go against each other. What a picture that would make--especially since Eric will be really old by then and you will still be so young!!

WE watched the Twins and Yankees last night--sorry we cheered for our beloved Yankees!! This time they came through--what an exciting game.

We hope & pray your tests go well and that you head to Madison soon!!

Love to all of you!!!!

Kelly - it was so good to see you in Walmart last week - what a surprise when I looked back and you were there! I'm inbetween jobs so kinda looking out there for jobs and to be closer to mom and the man in my life!! Need to be out of my apt here in burnsville by Nov 1 so I'm back here a few day packing. Mom says I can store my stuff in her basement. My friend lives in Redwood so down there alot too...and we walk past wooddale every night on our walks so I should stop in and see Phyllis - know the days get long - I think she would remember who I am. What good news on Carl - prayer is powerful and God is working in Carl and we keep you all in our prayers daily. You are all such an inspiration to so many....bless you all. Hopefully I'll be moved and employed out there by end of month. Have a few possibilities so which ever one is right will be.

Hi Carl and Family,

We had our 8 year old son at Mayo last year at about this time. We loved the doctors and felt they were always doing what was best for our son who has leukemia. I laughed when I read that you were ready to get out of bed to help your Uncle with the farm work because my son is the same way. We live on a farm/ranch and he loves it too and always seems to find the energy to help with any farm/ranch related chores! We will be praying for you and checking back in on you often!

Dear Kelly , Tom, and family,
At long last I am back on the circuit! The prayers from St. Mark's are with you in full force. The older kids that I taught the last two years, immediately ask about Carl. Several have come down from the junior high to ask about him. Now I have a new group praying each day, and all our friends upstairs are still storming the heavens. Please know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. I love the pictures... the fair shots, the combine picture, the Peanuts character flicks, and I delighted in the Sam and Carl pictures, as what a fantastic resemblance on the Tom and Sam pictures.
You are a terrific inspiration to me. Your faith, your strength, your optimism have touched me deeply. The piece on Channel 4 was great this summer. May the healing touch of Jesus shine as brightly on your dear Carl as the wonderful gift of this autumn bliss surrounding us these days. God bless you and yours and please know we are with you in mind and heart. Frank and Mary also have the prayers going on the Birch Coulee end of this prayer chain. You are loved!

I hope you are feeling ok and that all of the stuff you have to do in Roch this week turns out well!!!! I miss you guys and love you very very very much! (Maybe I'll see ya next weekend if you are home???) :) :)

What a road you have traveled. I am sorry that you're having to go through all of this, and I am inspired by your faith and your strength. We have added your precious son to our prayers.

Hi Kelly!

I love your poem, thank so much for sharing it. Sorry it has been a while since my last guestbook entry. Our computer has been down since summer, and now we are back up and running. I always keep Carl in my prayers, along with you and your family. What an adorable picture of Carl in a firefighter jacket. He is so darn cute, and his looks remind me of Bryan. I looked at your family pictures, they are all very nice pictures and fun to see.

Love and Prayers.

Hi Kelly,
The "what is faith" poem is one of the most beautiful poems I think I have ever read. Thank you for sharing it!
I prayed a lot for Carl today--well I pray a lot for him everyday of course :o) -but even some extra as we kicked off the "Year of the Eucharist" today with a Procession..
On this glorious Minnesota day!

Oh God, come to my assistance. Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory to the father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen, Alleluia.
Oh most Blessed Mother Mary, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayers. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus your son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. We are comforted in knowing your gentle motherly heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayers.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Love you Robinson family!

Hi Robinson Family,
I just wanted to let you know that ever since we came to visit you for the Make A Wish Foundation, you are all always in my prayers. In this crazy world, it is difficult to find God's miracles, but I believe that your complete and utter FAITH in God IS a miracle. These are the times that many people would give up, but remember that God is always with us and these are the times that He carries us. Stay strong!!

Hey buddy! How are you? I miss you so much (and the rest of you too of course!!) Kelly, reading your entry today brought a LOT of tears...I hate that. A friend that I work with just was at a funeral this week for one of her friends' daughter. She had AML (a form of lukemia) and earned her angel wings last Saturday. So her dealing with the loss just makes me think I wish I could take Carl's place SO much. He doesn't deserve this. Enough of the sadness...Carl, I'm jealous too! I want a bracelet too!! No fair! BUT, those Aunties are pretty special huh? I know how that goes...
I hope you have a great weekend together...missing you with BIG hugs and kisses :-)

Hey Carl, your Mom said you loved the squirrel e-mail I sent. I thought he was so cute & I loved his voice when he sang the song, when he got to the part about "running around & acting silly", I kept picturing you & Sam running around being silly :):):):) How's Pika & all your other animal pals doing ? Give them a pat on the head for me.
Hi Aunt Phyllis, we hope you're feeling better & will be up & around Very Soon !!!! BIG HUGS !!!!

Carl darling,
Our prayers are often and always pleading with God to continue his mercy and strength on you. Father God, protect Carl's platelets and red blood cells that they may grow and mature and new ones will take over and give him the inner strength he needs for his body to beat this dreadful disease. Keep all of his other organs normal and especially the brain tissue so he can function as a normal boy in all ways. It is hard to understand why he does so well and the disease is so rampant in his little body. Thank you Father God for all you do for each of us who faithfully follow you and spread Your word in truth. The Robinson's are a tremendous family of witness and faith. Thank you for them giving more to me than I could ever give back just by knowing them.
Today's meditation: Faith in Christ is a goal reached!
1 Peter 1:9 "You are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your soul."
God Bless all of you and God Bless America.
Love in Christ

Thanks for the update, Kelly. We pray that the bleeding stops and things go well in Rochester. I was a little worried, because I check this thing first thing in the a.m. and there was no update. Sounds like you should be too tired to update it after your wild weekend. I am so glad you have the support of these other families that are going through the same thing as you. I have to admit that there were a few tears shed when I looked at Molly's pictures and saw that "10 Year Survivor" one. There is always hope for a miracle. I am sure her family was told some scary things a long the line too. We will just keep praying for that miracle. Take care and know we love you all.

I hope you guys made it back safe!
Carl has so much spunk and energy and is so sweet!
We are continuing to pray for his cure-very strongly!

I hope to see you again soon!!

How goes it today? I pray that you are enjoying the outside air and I imagine you and Sam will pile up leaves soon to run and jump into, huh?
Dark days give way to Christ's light. 1 John 1:15 "God is light, in Him there is no darkness at all."
Heavenly Father we pray that Carl and his family have nothing but sunshine and praise in the days ahead as Carl continues his treatments. Keep Carl in good health and give him a big appetite to get all of the nutrition he needs for complete healing. Lord, be with all of the people surrounding them and take good care of Grandma Phyllis.
We ask all of these things in Your great name. Thank you for your unconditional love, mercy, and grace.

The power of prayer is definitely an amazing thing. Today Alex came home from kindergarten and announced that every morning he offers his daily prayer to Carl. He makes sure that God hears his special little prayer.
I thought that this was just another example of how important prayer is. So please tell Carl that Eric's little brother prays hard evey morning for him and the entire family prays at dinner time for him. He is and all of you are in our thoughts.

Just got on Carl's web page today.(finally) Our computer problems got worse since last week and the past couple days we have not been able to get on line at all--our system was corrupt or had a virus or something. But we got it fixed and now it seems to be running OK. We had to have someone come out to get it going again..
Anyway, just wanted to say Hello and please know Carl continues to be in our prayers! We are stormin' heaven for that little guy!

Dear Kelly, We are friends of Sophie in Boston. Our daughter was also diagnosed with NB at 4 yrs. of age. Your journal entry was beautiful. These children are so amazing to me. How they can have this dreaded disease inside them, yet be running around crazy with unbelievable energy and cheerfulness! I believe the Lord is with them and all of our families. May the hope of the Lord and the power of prayer be with you and your family.

Kelly, you have a wonderful way of putting life into perspective. When I get bent out of shape about these third graders telling me to shut up or that they don't like me, and you know how that would ruffle my feathers, I remember that this is so minor. I would give anything to have naughty Joe back. You keep fighting and encouraging that crazy man to keep fighting. We lift you, your family, and especially Carl up in our prayers many times during the day.

We're glad to know that there is a plan, and hopefully this will help to get those platelets back up. I don't blame Carl for not liking pineapple juice, but it's worth it!! Keep your chin up. You have so many prayers being sent your way. We love you all so much!!!

Carl and family,
As I just read my evening meditation it was written as if it was supposed to be from me to you all--
"Be there for someone today."
1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
We love you so much, Carl, and more than anything want you to get to NED as soon as possible. You are a great inspiration to us and we thank God for our email friendship everyday.
Father God, please show extra mercy and love to this dear family. Keep Your loving arms around them and carry them when they can't walk anymore. They are such faithful followers of Yours, Lord Jesus, give them the miracle only You can give--complete healing with Your divine intervention. Be with Dr Anderson and his colleagues as they decide which therapy Carl needs. Please protect all of his caregivers and lead only Godly people to them. We ask your blessing on Carl's bone marrow cells that are normal and for You to squish all of the bad cells!! Thank You Dear Lord for Romans 8:26 which says, "The Spirit helps us in our weakness." Strengthen Carl's weakened body. We ask this in Your great name. Amen & Amen
Carl, I can donate blood again on 9-29-04 so you will have more red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets available if you need them.
Love in Christ

Carl darling, What a great picture. You are a beautiful little lamb of Jesus and we pray incessantly that you are getting better each day.
I am surpised you were so aggressive at the Drs office the other day, but by golly, I am sure you are sick and tired of being sick and tired!!!
I have discovered that what is most valuable, is not what we have in our lives, but WHO we have in our lives. I thank God for you and your family each day. Even though we have never been eye to eye, we love you just the same!
The 23rd Psalm:
The Lord is my Shepherd (That's Rrelationship)
I shall not want (That's SUPPLY)
He maketh me lie down in green pastures (That's REST)
He leadeth me beside the still waters (That's REFRESHMENT)
He restoreth my soul (That's HEALING)
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness (That's GUIDANCE)
For His name sake (That's PURPOSE)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (That's TESTING)
I will fear no evil (That's PROTECTION)
For Thou are with me (That's FAITHFULNESS)
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me (That's DISCIPLINE)
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies (That's HOPE)
Thou annointest my head with oil (That's CONSECRATION)
My cup runneth over (That's ABUNDANCE)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life (That's BLESSING)
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord (That's SECURITY)
FOREVER (That's ETERNITY)!!!

Hey Carl and gang! While we are busy praying for you to improve your counts and your scan results we are also excited at the possiblity for you to come to Chicago! Yesterday Anna went to clinic to gather her 4th round of ABT-751. She took this opportunity to warn all of her favorite doctors and nurses of how incredibly cute and spunky her little Carl is. (prepping them, in case you do indeed come to Children's) Anyway, we are all watching, praying, and very hopeful. Lots of love, Anna and fam

Hi Carl~

How is that shiner doing on your eye? I hope it is getting better. You'll just have to tell everyone "if you think this is bad, you should see the other guy!" Hehehe!

I hope your platelets start to come back up even more. I already miss you and your silliness! We will have to play catch with the football when I come home again. We just have to remember to not throw it very hard when we are in the house, right?

I bet the fort looks cool. Are you going to paint it? I like the rustic look it had when I saw it. Sorry I didn't stop back by to check it out before I came back up to Crookston. I should have, but it was getting late. If I would have stopped at your house, I would have never came back up here I bet!!!! :)

I suppose I better finish up what I was doing here at work. I miss you and love you lots!!!

Love
~Jenny

The cabin/fort sounds awesome. I'm sure the kids (& BIG kids) will have a lot of fun with it!!!!You guys are great!!!! Jill, I'm sure they missed you helping them. Well, I guess you'll have to pick a night to camp in it with the kids & test it out:):):):)Hope it works out for you to camp with them this weekend Janet, have fun!!!!

Stopping by to check in on you and to let you know that we just returned from a 2 1/2 week "visit" to New York. Rachel has relapsed and we went back for radiation and a nine-hour surgery -- ick. The new pediatric wing is BEAUTIFUL!!! Very nice, very accessable. Did you know they're building a new Ronald McDonald House out there, too?!?! Yeah ... supposed to be very nice and TWICE the size (can you even imagine???).

Hoping you get what you're looking for in Chicago. Damn this disease!!! I wish it would just leave our kids alone. As if once isn't enough for it, it has to come back and bombard our kids again. Nothing like making a parent's heart sink over and over again. We've watched it steal too many of our precious children.

I think of you often and my prayers are with you.

Hi Robinson's
I was just wondering if the Fort is getting made today?? After talking to Kelly yesterday and she mentioned that Tom, Chuck and John were possibly going to build a Fort for Sam and Carl, I have been thinking about the Fort Tom, Chuck, John and I built in the grove (mostly Chuck and I ;) and wondering how they posssibly could get by without me there to help ;). Instead of being out there I'm watching Rick teach our kids how to paint a car. He has them sanding, masking the whole works. Something I'm not familar with but something he use to do. Hope all is going well and wish I was there to join in on the Fun!
Love Auntie Jill
P.S. Yes Keith, Tom was alot dirtier and I think Sam gets just as Dirty. They clean up good though ;)

Hi guys ~ Love the new pics !!!! Carl & Sam, you guys are veeeery haaaandsome!!!!~ you too Tom!!!! I called Keith over to look at the pic of Sam & Tom, he took one lokk & said "Hey, I remember that guy,only he was dirtier"~ LOL :):):):)
Hi Carl, glad you're feeling well !!!! I've been thinking lately, we're going to have to start working on getting those numbers up on the platelet counts ( & any others that you need to go up if they're still needed) so we'll have to start using the old standby....are you ready...."THUMBS UP !!!!",let's help those numbers go up!!!!
Well, I have to run,it's going on midnight & I have a few things to do. Take care & sending hugs !!!!
Love to all,

Tom, what a chip off the old block, right? You must be very proud to have a son who looks exactly like his Dad! It is a good thing you were such a very good little boy, right? As I remember, actually, you were a very good little boy. Pretty much on the shy side. Oh what I would give to go back to those days again. Have a wonderful weekend.

Dear Kelly and family: Wow, the email you received from the doc. was very kind. Now just more to mull over, I bet you could write your own medical book by now. We pray that you and Tom will be guided on what option/treatment plan is best for Carl, what a tough decision.

Glad to hear school started off good for Sam and Sydney. What a crazy time to get everyone to bed and up and going in the morning isn't it?

Take care and God bless.

Carl, I got an orange rose at work today for my birthday. I know that you would really like it. It is very bright and pretty. It would match our "Carl's Commando's" shirts!!! :) I hope that you start to get better soon!!! I'm hugging you in my heart!!!!!

Hi Tom & Kelly, how are you two doing ????
About the school bus this morning, I'm sure many kids missed it, it always seemed like the bus was early the 1st few days until they get adjusted.

Hi Tom, Kelly and kids. Just dropping by to say hello and let you know we think of you so often. I pray that by this time, Carl is feeling much better again. He will be lonely tomorrow I am sure with his big brother gone all day to school but then Mom gets special one on one at home, right? Good luck to each of the kids tomorrow. It is always so exciting to go back to school. Especially that first day. God's blessings to all of you.

Hello! I have been following your journey and praying for you daily. I have a daughter that is going into kindergarten this year and I do cherish every memory there is associated with this milestone. I believe that next year Carl will be getting on the bus and turning to wave at his mom with huge grin on his face (and of course mom will be there with the camcorder!!)

Will continue to pray daily for you and your family.

Hello Robinson family! I just want to let you know that we think of you often. Dad (John Frank) is coming home (this morning) from Fairview University Hospital where he had his hip replacement surgery on Thursday. He will be staying at Redwood Falls Hospital until he is strong enough to go home to Wabasso. Yesterday he asked how Carl was doing. And told mom she needs to get on your website and get updated. I will call them today and update them. You are a very special family and are so dear to us. We continue to pray for each of you! Love, Prayers and Healing to you!!!!

Hi Robinsons...Oh my gosh, when I read about the burping thing it made me feel better. We too have "belchers" here at my house. I get so embarressed at this. One time they did it in front of their great aunt, Sister Mary Fran (Frano). I felt like such a failure as a parent (and preschool teacher). Since Frano is an elementary teacher I asked the boys to ask her what she says to her students when they do that in class, her response was "bring it up again we'll vote on it"...how could I compete with that? After that what could a mother do but laugh.

Glad to har Carl got his platelets, that must have been a little nerve rattling. Here's hoping he doesn't get too worn down from the chemo.

Take care all!

I loved your note about the simple joys. The other day I was at the grocery store and my bill was something .01. So I just knew I had a penny in my pocket and was digging deep and the guy behind me gently said, "Here you go." and handed me a penny with such a genuine smile. Those little things just make your heart sing to know there are so many kind souls in this world.
Hope Back to School Night went well. Tomorrow is Sydney's. Annie is working, so I guess we will miss her LAST one. Tell "The Burper" to see what happens when he does that in school. Aunt Holly will be there to report to Mom and Dad :)
Love you,

Hey guys! I hope that the transfusion and all went well and CarCar's counts start to bounce back real quick. I can just imagine those two stinkers playing in the tires. We all know where Sam gets that burping thing from Kelly. :) Just kidding. I just saw that Jen signed her last entry as Sweet Jenny. Remember down at Grandma's when Sam said Please sweet jelly instead of Jenny. He's such a silly kid. Oh yeah, today was my first day back to school here in Crookston, and I got many compliments on the background of my computer. It is the picture of the boys laying with their calves, everyone said it was so cute and asked who those little boys were, so they even draw attention up here. Anyway I better get going. Love you guys so much!!!

Carl,
I hope this finds you well and that your ANC is steadily climbing way up over 1000! I know it is hard for you to have to take more chemo but getting started is the only way to get done isn't it?
It was a beautiful week-end here and I pray that you had a great one, too. Your Mommy describes you as having had a very fun time at the Minnesota State Far. You have such a fun family that I wish I was there with all of you enjoying all of the good times. I am there in thought and prayers though.
Kaden starts his second week of school tomorrow and as he gets on the bus each day, Carl, we pray that next year you will be doing that, too. I suppose you will be sad when Sam is gone all day, but remember, you have your parents undivided attention so take advantage of that!!
This week-end will be super busy for me as Shannon and Pat will be here from ND and we get to shop for baby furniture, I will be attending Lifelight Festival and helping out in the first aid station, the Alpha Center booth, the Republican booth, with prayer and counseling of Christians and prayerfully leading others to Christ, too. Pray for me to have the wisdom and words to do the job God wants me to do.
More later. We love you all very much.

There are a lot of cows and other animals at the fair; aren't there???!!!??? I betcha you just wanted to crawl in and lay with some of them.
Did you get to see Kiri's chickens??? I am glad you got to go look at the machinery too.
Hope you feel well this week...I miss you and I'm hugging you in my heart!!!!

Tell Carl that Eric Fischer's dad says "hi". I love the picture of the boys resting with their calves! They must be good farmers. I missed being able to see all of you this week. Sounds like Eric did not get to spend as much time with Carl as he would have liked because of his tests but it was better than no time. Kelly, the afternoon here is still sunny at 4:50. Hopefully that is good news for the garage sale group at home. As the dad, I can only hope it all sells as that means less work to haul it somewhere after it is all over!

Hi Carl, glad to hear you're feeling good & things are going OK with your medicine. Have fun catching up on fun time playing with Sam. Hope the weather is nicer.
Well, time to run,my cousin from MD & her daugh. came to visit yesterday so we have things to do.She said she is putting me to work,she has a bunch of pics to sort through (Kelly, you know me & pics:):):):)), hoping to find some of my Grandparents.

Kelly & Clan--

Thanks for the kind thoughts for Eric. We had good news. Eric is still in remission. We thank God that he is. We pray hard that Carl responds well to this chemo and gets there again. If ever a little boy had the energy and strength to do it, it is Carl. As well as his very wise mother.
Your words humbled me from Eric's guestbook. I realize it is easy for me to patient with Doctors who are saying things I don't want to hear--because Eric is ok. I can not even imagine being in your shoes. Be angry--whatever it takes to keep your focus--you know the best for Carl--you always have.
I don't know why you have to travel this road. It makes me feel guilty that we do not, that Eric is healthy. We don't ask why because we know there is no answer--but it is tempting. We just know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers.

Now we are ready for school to start.
It looks like today may be a rainy day here--we hope not as we are supposed to have a garage sale.
Tracy <my4boystlf@aol.com>
- Friday, August 27, 2004 7:28 AM CDT

Carl,
What a good boy to be so cooperative and brave through all of this medicine stuff. I am so happy that you are feeling pretty good though. We pray and pray and pray that you will be all better when the new babies come!
It was rainy here today, too, but I was inside volunteering at the crisis pregnancy center serving our awesome God. We see lots of young women and men that are in need of love and prayers just like you.
Kaden says to tell you he loves school and especially riding the bus. His Daddy said he ran through the house this morning saying, I LOVE SCHOOL. I know you will be doing the same thing next fall, honey.
Tell your Mommy thanks for sharing the nice words from Emily Barnes today.
Love and kisses to all of you.

Kelly, Carl & Everyone--

We are so glad we got to see you for a short time. Time you amaze me--such energy. All the Fischer boys liked seeing you--especially Mark. He had fun playing with you, Eric really wanted to but had to have all those tests.

Good luck at home. We are praying hard!!

Carl,
What a great picture of you two lazy boys and the calves!!
I am so happy that you were at the fair and I know you just must have been busy, busy, busy with everything.
I suppose Sam is back in school by now and next year you will get to go to school, too, won't you Carl?
Carl, we are praying hard for you to tolerate your chemo just like the little champ you are and not get any side effects this time. We will pray for the miracle of healing, (and in a hurry I might add). You have had more than your share of pain and sadness but what an awesome God and Jesus we have to be there with you every step of the way.
Kaden started a new school today and now he rides the bus! PaPa and NaNa met him at the bus stop after school and his smile covered his whole face. He had a great day and he says Mrs. Cable is a funny and good teacher.
I found out today that I will see Dr. Currier, an orthopedic surgeon in Rochester, but need to get my records sent now before getting an appt date. I really, really hope you will be there when I come, but that your treatments are curing you and you will be feeling good!
Kiss your Mom, Dad, Sam, and Sydney for us.
Love in Christ

Glad to hear that Carl is getting out of the hospital soon. Keep on ROCKIN'!!!
Love,

Hello Robinsons--maybe you need to find that bandana that helped Carl through those tough days of chemo early on. I remember thinking how smart he was to have thought of using the bandana when there was a smell/taste that just got to him and he needed to cover his nose or mouth. We have you in our prayers daily. God Blessings to All--

Hello Carl and Family,
Been following you from Nick & Michelle Hookham's page. Letting you know even people in Kansas are praying for you! In Hebrews 13:5 our Lord said "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you". Will be praying Carl will be able to start Chemo on Monday. Hopefully you and Carl can have some fun outside of the hospital on pass.

Sorry to hear about another infection for Carl, they do need to be more careful with him. He doesn't deserve to be in the hospital, he needs to be home having fun on the farm. Hang in there guys, keep your strength and your faith. I realize it must be hard, but you are all so strong for each other and your faith is so solid things have to get better. We will keep our prayers and keep you close to our hearts here. Love and hugs always

I realized it was the two year anniversary because I was reading the script under the "farmboys" picture. I was wondering if you realized it,too? Anyhow, back to business and get that infection cleared up and start with the new plan. Remember, it is not our plan. Someone is in total control and you are just along for the ride. Put that seatbelt on and find a good book, it doesn't look like the end of the journey is that close. Just think of where the journey has taken you so far. Be like a dog and stick your head out the window and enjoy the breeze in your face. Look for the little things, Kelly. They will keep you going.
We love you!

Dubuque, IA - Monday, August 16, 2004 9:39 AM CDT

Carl,
You have a beautiful little calf that you are raising. You are doing as great a job with Spike as your awesome parents are doing raising all of you kids.
I am saddened by your test results, but my meditation today says: Though my body weakens, I grow stronger in Christ. What a beautiful message for all of us as Christ is the Great Physician and our Cornerstone.
The scripture that goes with it is from Psalm 73:26 "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and portion forever."
Father God, we thank you for your unconditional love for Carl and each one of us. Be with this family as they prepare to make yet more decisions on the treatment for Carl. We know, Lord, with Your guidance, goodness, and grace that the Robinsons will choose Your path. Take the 60% cancer cells in the bone marrow and replace them with living, healthy cells, as only YOU can do. Please keep his liver disease at bay so he will not have any pain, loss of appetite, or other things to stop him from living each day to the fullest, especially during this fair week. Father God, let Your light shine on them every minute of every day, and keep Your loving arms around them and calm all of their storms, big or small. Lord, You know how much love Carl generates to everyone he meets and he has touched our lives in a very special way as email pals. Thank You for all You provide to us. In Your great name I pray. Amen & Amen
Oh, God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry; When I have work, help me to remember the jobless; When I have a warm home, help me to remember the homeless; When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer; And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency and bestir my compassion. Make me concerned enough to help by word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted. Amen
Have a great time at the fair kids. Bryan have a good week at camp.
In Christ

Kelly, you do such a wonderful job explaining all that is going on with Carl. Wishing,hoping & praying that whatever plan you both choose will (as you said ) kick butt again !!!!
Bryan, have a great time at camp !!!! I have no doubt you will, I remember reading some of the stories from last year,can't wait to hear what happens this year !!!!

Hi Kelly, Carl and Family,

Just a note to say we are praying for you everyday! Molly has made a surprise for Carl. Maybe we could meet in Rochester someday you are there. Monday is crazy due to the beginning of Football season for the boys and Molly starts her new dance line on Monday too, Glamour Gang.

After the fair, if Sydney wants to come up to the cities to spend a day shopping at Mall of America with Molly...I would love to come and get her!! I bet she would love a fun day of luxury before school starts!!

I want to look into a healing mass too for Carl. We went to 2 of them for Molly, and boy they are powerful and they do work!!

Love and prayers to you all!! Let us know your schedule at Mayo and we can come to see you and Carl!!

Kelly,
I too am so surprised at the bone marrow results and that his disease seems to be progressing.
However, keep the faith and remember that there are trials that you can enroll in that could very well help nip this in the bud and clear him up. I know once you get all the results in you will decide on a trial.
I am here if you need me and I will keep praying of course!
Keep the Faith! There are lots of prayers being said for Carl!!! I am also praying that you are lead to the right treatment path (trial) that is best suited for Carl.

I love you..

Dear Tom & Kelly, As I was busy going about my cleaning today (thinning the clutter on the fridge) I noticed a verse I have posted on my fridge. There was a reason I came across it today so I thought I'd share it.

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. Philippians 4:6-7

KELLY AND TOM
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, AS WE ARE STILL PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE FOR CARL. WHAT A CUTIE HE IS. KELLY, I JUST CAN'T HARDLY BELIEVE IT, CARL LOOKED SO GOOD IN CHICAGO. I HAVE THE CUTIEST PICTURES OF CARL AND LEXY AND I WILL EMAIL THEM TO YOU. I KNOW I DO NOT HAVE TO TELL YOU, BUT THIS CANCER IS SUCH A MONSTER AND IT SEEMS LATELY THAT WE ONLY HEAR BAD NEWS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY, BUT ONLY KEEP YOUR MIND FOCUSED ON GOD FOR THAT MIRACLE.

Kelly, Tom, Carl, Sydney, Brian, & Sam--

You are always in our thoughts and prayers. We pray for good decisions to be made for Carl's treatment. Trust in yourself Kelly. You know in your gut what the right decisions are--I know that you will make the right choices.

I can't imagine being in your shoes--my heart breaks for you--yet I think back when Carls first started and was so sick and you though you may lose him them. You have had so many good days with him--like today. Our gifts from God truly show in your boys and their "beer" bath!! What amazing little guys. Carl has touched so many lives. We will put an e-mail out for prayer for Carl, as well as on our web site.

We love you all!!

Hi Kelly! I know it has been too long since I have been in touch with you guys, but I do read your website everyday and follow Carl's progress. I'm sorry about your latest results, hopefully it means nothing, or some more chemo will knock it out. Jay is scanning this week too, and I am checking into the ABT & CEP trials at CHOP as well.

Richie's Disney trip is around January 8 - 11 (I forgot already the exact dates, but I know it is Thurs - Mon?, and includes those dates). We will definitely plan on going (unless something unforeseen occurs) and it would be great to see you there again. When I told Rich you all were going to try to coordinate dates, he said "Awesome!".
Say hi to everyone for me (and a special hello to Bryan from Jay). Take care!

I just cant wait for Sam to show, he is going to look like a little stud. The show outfit Jen and I got him is soooo cute (so is Carl's). Dustin will also be coming down for the fair with me so we'll have an extra set of hands to help out. He is very excited to see his little buddy Sam show also. Anyway, I better get going. Cant wait for next week!! See you all then.

Our Father, we thank You for wonderful gift You have given to our friends. You are the giver of all good things and we bless you for giving this little life.

But this loved one is sick. We ask that you might hear our prayer for the healing of this little body. You are the great healer and with You nothing is impossible. You power is great and Your love is precious and Your plan is perfect. We pray that it may be Your will to make this wonderfully precious little child well again. We thank you for the gifts You have given to the medical profession and we ask You to bless their efforts in this situation. We acknowledge that ultimately healing must come from you so we leave this dear child in your loving arms. May the arms of the One who called children to Him on earth surround this precious child and give healing and life. We ask for grace to pray that Your will be done.

You see the tears of mother and father and family; You know the fears that shake their faith. Grant them Your presence and Your peace every day. Strengthen them as they turn to You.

Amen.

WE are lifting Carl up in our prayers wholeheartedly. This terrorist can be hiding anywhere in that little body. We also lift up the doctors who are helping you make the right decisions on which road to take. Carl is in God's hands and we pray for patience and understanding for your family and all of us as He takes you on this journey. WE would just like a cure and a cure NOW, but, it is God's plan, not ours. We have to have faith that we have fortitude to understand and endure, or maybe we aren't suppose to understand?
Anyhow, the Renville County FAir is coming up. Let us know when Syd is going to show her wild cow. I want to come watch. She has matured into such a wonderful young lady. Bet she is really looking forward to school starting.....NOT......

Hang in there Kel! We are sending prayers from Glen Ellyn. You know that you are always on our minds. We have been thinking of you and Carl all of the time. Think positive and you may never know what happens. I wish that I could be there with you. Just remember to smile and keep a positive look on things. Missing you always.

Glen Ellyn, IL - Tuesday, August 10, 2004 9:24 AM CDT

Dear Kelly,
I honestly know how difficult and horrible it is waiting for results. It is hell.
When I begin to feel panic, it helps me when I pray.
(and that is usually the only thing that helps me during that time)
Say a rosary and ask for Our Blessed Mother's prayer intercession. I will be praying with you, of course.
I know you are nervous about those elevated urine numbers but as you know so many things can effect them. Try not to read too much into it--wait to get the scans.
If you need someone to talk to while you are waiting for results, my phone is always on.
Keep up your beautiful faith and know that we will all be praying for great (and fast) test results!
God Bless You!
I love you!
Sara

I can't imagine what this week is like for you having to wait for results, knowing and having a feeling things are not going to be good. I pray for peace for you this week and a clear mind as you prepare to plan for his next treatments whatever they may be. Still praying for good results though and believing this is possible!

Kelly,
Tonight I watched the news clip of Carl for the first time. I sat here in front of the computer and bawled. Carl is such a fighter and it just makes my heart hurt to know that he has had to fight this long. Alex will be greatly missed by many, many people, who knew her and who also didn't. You both did a wonderful job on the interview. It made me miss his cute little voice and energetic self!
We think of you guys and pray for you all the time.
Love,
Brittany and Tracey Ross <peachy_252@hotmail.com>
Pine River, MN - Friday, August 6, 2004 1:08 AM CDT

Carl,
How is everything with you? You have our daily prayers and next week we will turn them into multiple daily prayers as you have your tests/scans. We pray for perfect results as you are a perfect little guy in God's sight. I know you are nearly perfect in your families eyes, too, even though you are a busy little TV comedian now.
Kaden had his last soccer game this evening followed by a pizza party but he still said to tell you hi tonight on the internet. He wants you to get well soon. He feels so bad that you are STILL sick.
Hey, you know what Carl? I may see you at the Mayo Clinic soon as I find out tomorrow when my appointment is to see Dr Berry an orthopedic surgeon who will prayerfully and hopefully fix my old back injury!! I should call you for all the ins and outs up there as you must be an expert by now, huh?
Anxiety erodes trust; turn to God.
Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
May all of us give our troubles up to God and have a great summer day tomorrow.
Love ya

My son is also a relapsed Neuroblastoma patient. I found your website through the many children that I check on daily and feel like I know them all although I have never met them. I wanted to let you know that I loved the entry with God's Truth for Everyday of the Rest of your Life. I am going to share this on Stanton's website. I was reading about Carl's line infection. Stanton is currently in the hospital with his first line infection in 1 year and 8 months. They tell me his a common bacteria but that doesn't make me feel any easier. I will add Carl to my prayer list. Wishing you well

Hi Kelly and Carl, Thought I would write and say "hi" today. I never miss a day of checking on you guys via your website. Kelly, you are fantastic at writing and at keeping us posted. I don't know how you find the time to update like you do, great job! So glad to hear that Carl is doing well, I liked the description of being a "firecracker", sounds like my Lydia (smile). I'm so sorry to hear about little Alex. I sat at my computer Sunday night in tears as I read her website. I think the tears not only came for Alex's family but for all of the families battling this beast. Especially for those we know and hold close to our hearts like you guys. You are so strong and we admire you all!
Take care and next time you get to Bakers Square, snatch a piece of peanut butter pie for me...hee hee!

Hi to the Robinsons! Kelly, I have to tell you I really admire your courage and strength. My prayers go out to your new angels, their families and as always, to all of you. There is always a risk in getting close to someone because there is pain in losing a friend if God calls. You provide strength to so many because you give 100% of yourself to the lives you touch!

I'm home this week with Alex & Ryan. Eric, Mark & Tracy are playing cowboy & cowgirl at a cancer camp in Amarillo, TX. Hopefully, they have as rewarding an experience as I had with Eric at Big Sky Kids Camp in Montana. Wow, what a physical as well as spiritual experience!

Thanks so much for "doing lunch" yesterday. It is a refreshing break during my busy day at work.
I would love some help planning the wedding! Thanks so much for the offer. Me and the Chuckster are planning our honeymoon right now too...Any recommendations?
(Please keep in mind that Big C needs a window seat in the airplane, and at least a second story hotel room and a window with an incredible view).
I can't wait until you can all meet Bea and Bo. They are a riot! I can't imagin what it's going to be like at a family get together in the Manakin household! I'm excited to join the family however. We will need to get Carl fitted for his bib overall tux (he is going to be such a cute little ring bearer)...let me know a time that will work.
Love ya guys.......

Wow, the pictures are great!!!! It works good on shutterfly. I must say, you all seemed to be blessed by rainbows!!!! If you look at the 3rd pic, with Carl,Sydney & Sam, it looks like there's a rainbow behind them. I like the other 2 rainbow ones too, esp. the double one.
Hey, Harley Dude Carl, you look great on the motorcycles !!!! Did you get your Harley cap back? You'll have to sing the Menards song to me sometime, we don't have that store here so I've never heard it but it sounds like your Mom really enjoyed it :):):):)
Glad you got to see many people in Chicago & learn more from the Drs.. & also that you got back to Rochester in time for the "Cruise" Bike Ride, from the pics, it looks like you had a lot of fun :):):):)
Well, I have to scoot for now. Keep up the good work & stay well.
Love to all,

Glad to see the update !!!! Sorry you lost the 1st one, some of the other sites have said the same thing at times, they also have said, try to get in the habit to "copy" it, this way if you loose it, you can "paste" it back on. Was hoping you got back OK & all are well, sure sounds like it :):):):)
Glad to hear you're doing good Carl:):):):) From the Conference pics, it looks like you & the other kids had a good time. That's a great pic of Sydney !!!!
That must have been so exciting to see many old freinds & meeting new ones. I can't even imagine.
We're all fine here. Not much new other than the last few times Keith has gone fishing for fluke, he's been coming home with a few:):):):)Fish for dinner !!!!
Oops, just remembered, if I am correct, Happy Anniversary Aunt Phyllis & Uncle George !!!! BIG HUGS !!!!
Well, I'll say Goodnight for now. Will be looking forward to your next update.

Carl & family,
God's blessings upon all of you as you overcame another hurdle in this disease process. Our prayers is that the line will be okay and that his next round of chemo may be the miracle cure.
Have a great and safe trip to Chicago. Enjoy your time with other families that are in this battle, too. As much joy as you will share it seems like the sorrow accompanies it, too.
Todays meditation of mine is: I want to be like my Father.

Ephesians 5:1 "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children."
We love you very much.
It is 90 degrees with a heat index >100 today and Kaden will play his second soccer game this evening. Please pray for the kids' safety in the heat.

Glad you were able to go to the Relay for Life. You said about getting choked up trying to speak when you went up with Carl, that's understandable. You know how I feel about your writing & I think you would be equally as awesome speaking but as you said, the emotional part caught up to you. I'm so proud of you Kelly, also Tom, Carl & the whole family!!!! Miss you all !!!!

Hi All, Was good to see the many Robinsons at the Relay for Life. This was my first time out there and it was SO impressive. I have such respect for your whole family, you do such a great job. As I walked the path, I shed many tears. Thanks, Sheila, for the great job you did on Sharon's. It brought back many memories that had been tucked away. What a beautiful way to spend family time. Carl looks so great! He's such a trooper. Am sure you are all looking forward to being home together, even if it's for a short time. God bless you all!!!

Hi everyone !!!!
So happy that you were able to switch to Redwood Hosp. & be closer to home. The passes may not last long in time but you can see family & friends & get things you want ( or need ) to get done.
I wanted to thank your friend Stacey for "borrowing" Kelly & Sydney for some fun time & also for the pics from the Honkers game:):):):) I was wondering if Tom had a busy evening with Sam & Carl the night you all went out, they hadn't been together in a while & had a lot of catching up to do!!!! I'll bet Tom slept good that night:):):):)
Enjoy your time at the Relay on Fri. night, hope it's not too far from the hosp.. I'm sure Carl & Auntie Sheila had fun time together last night. Hope you had a GOOD NIGHT SLEEP in your own bed Kelly!!!!
Soooo happy to hear you're doing good Carl!!!! Pretty soon you will be home in your own bed & you & Sam will be out the front door for fun which will probably involve water & trucks:):):):)Miss you all!!!!
Love & Hugs,

I read the update & had a few things to do ( like have my 1st cup of tea so I can function). Not long after I figured let me go back & write in the guestbook, I'm sitting here, lazily leaning forward ( still not quite awake ) looking at our 17" screen thinking about what I want to write....all of a sudden, the page is there & looking back at me is a....HUGE BASEBALL FACE WITH BIG EYES !!!! Well, I wish I had a picture of the look on my face!!!! I was taken back for a moment & just had to laugh !!!! The LOVE the picture !!!!Chloe,her Dad,Sydney & Carl look wonderful:):):):) Now I'll have a "funny" memory every time I look at it.Glad to hear Carl's fever is gone, he's feeling well & that little bundle of energy again !!!! Look out nurses, I think he's been saving that energy for when Daddy & Sam get there !!!! Kelly & Sydney, enjoy your time out with Stacey tonight. Hope things work out that you can transfer to out patient at Redwood veeeery soon. Wow, the Redwood Relay for Life is coming up quick. I hope you guys can get to the NB Conference this year.

Good evening Carl. I am so happy they found your souce of infection but I pray the line will not have to be pulled and re-inserted.
How was your day anyhow? I imagine you were out and about in your room and the playroom, huh?
Kaden won his last season game this evening so tournaments are tomorrow evening at 6:00 p.m. and again on Saturday afternoon. He wants to hit a homerun for you, Carl, so we pray he can do that!!
One of my meditations today is "God fashions beautiful people from the inside out." You will more beautiful than ever Carl when your healing is complete on the inside!! (haha) You are just too cute already.

I just finished writing you a note and then cleared the information instead of sending it!!
We pray that your fever that snuck upon you today is gone and that the scare of the seizure is behind you, too. I know that Mommies always react like it has never happened before because we get scared and love our little buddies so much.
Kaden plays in tournament games on Saturday so pray for him to do well enough to win, okay? Not that he isn't already a winner with NaNa.
Tell your Mommy to call the Minnesota Senators and tell them to vote yes on the federal marriage amendment on 7-12 that defines marriage as God has instructed it to be, between one man and one woman. Thanks honey for doing that.
Have a good summer. I pray you get out of the hospital soon and it is a virus that has not affected your line!
Love ya.

Hoorah, I now have my internet back after a few months. I prayed everyday for you Carl, and family. I really missed reading your beautiful journals, Kelly, so it took a lot of time to catch up.
Carl, I am with you-----Cancer no more in 2004.
Kaden says hi and to tell you he is playing baseball and they have only lost 2 games with 2 games left in regular play before Tournaments!! NaNa and PaPa have had an absolutely wonderful time at the games cheering for him. He told me the other night that I embarrased him by yelling so loud and I told him to get used to it! We cheer loudly for you everyday, too, Carl, to do well with these treatments and pray that they may be the last.
As we celebrate the birthday of our great nation, may we thank God for our government and pray for those in authority. God Bless America and our heroic troops all over the world who are fighting so hard to keep us free. We know the real heroes have gone before us and we remember their families in prayer, too.
So good to be back in contact. We love you all very much.

Hi guys,
I love the new picture of Carl in front of his flower. It is really cool to see how much his little hand has grown since the "Heart on Hand" prayer was made! We share your optimism. I am so looking forward to seeing you all again in August! Have you heard that Eric & I are leaving to attend a cancer camp that Tom Warden told us about in Montana. We are spending 10 days in Big Sky Montana including a couple of days in Yellowstone Park. This weekend we will be packing as we leave early on Wednesday the 7th! Love & prayers from the Fischers! Hope your holiday weekend is fun

Hi guys,glad you had such a good week (esp. that Carl is feeling so well:):):):)) & pretty soon you will be going home !!!!
Now about that movie "Two Brothers"....Weeoooo, how sad. I must admit, I'm glad to hear you had a good cry. As hectic as your life has been, I'm sure you were due for one. People tend to try not to cry when others are around so a sad movie is a good place to have a good cry. I hope you felt more "relaxed" after you calmed down ( I'm sure the "couple of glasses of wine" helped too:):):):)).Glad you were both OK after the movie.
Happy to hear you're picking up Bryan on the way home :):):):) Happy Birthday Katie,hope you had a FUN DAY!!!! Our son Justin's Birthday was yesterday too. I wasn't sure how to feel, it dawned on me that we no longer have any teenagers under our roof, he's 20 yrs. old now!!!!Well....I guess it's just the next stage in our lives.
Have TONS OF FUN this weekend!!!!
It's time to scoot....
Wishing you a safe & relaxing trip home!!!!
Wishing everyone a Safe & Happy "4th of July" weekend !!!!
Love & Hugs to all,

Hello. I thought I'd drop by and wish you all a Happy Fourth of July. As I was reading your page today, tears came to my eyes. You are all such an inspiration. There are days when I just want to sit down and cry because life seems to be throwing me curve balls but all it takes is one glance at Carl's website and I'm ready to face anything again. Carl, I want you to know how incredible you are. You have battled wars that no one should ever have to fight. You're such an inspiration for me and tons of other people. As I've said before, I don't get to read your page too often because I don't have access to a computer outside of work so every time I go home to Warroad, my sister, Abby, fills me in on everything that is going on in your life. It brings tears to my eyes every time. I continue to pray for you every day. Well, I better get back to work. I just wanted to stop by and encourage you and wish you a Happy Independence Day.

Hello, Was just thinking about you all today so I thought I'd leave you note to let you know. Hope things are going as well as can be in Rochester this week and here's hoping you get to come home for the 4th. My sister and her family will be leaving Rochester in a couple of weeks (got the house sold...yippy) and moving to Crookston. Jen or Jes, if your reading this and would like extra cash for beer money or whatever, let me know. I could hook you up to help out with babysitting or unloading a uhaul. Her husband will be teaching at the University in the biology dept.

Hey guys! Glad to hear that you are having good weather, and you have been able to get out and enjoy it. I am also glad that you should be able to come home for the 4th. I am very very sad that I cannot come home. It is the first time I have ever missed the 4th of July down in Morton with our family. I was just sitting here listening to the Carl's Commandos CD's that Jen and Waldo made last year, and it got me very excited about relay (at least I will be able to come home for that!). I hope that Carl continues to feel well. I will be thinking about all of you this weekend, wishing that I were there with you. Love you and miss you as always!
Love~Jes

Hi Kelly--

Ok I need to e-mail you soon about the stuff for the speech. I promise I will have it to you by Monday.

There now it is in print and I have to do it.
Sound like things are going pretty good. You got to love Carla and his personality!!! He certainly leaves his "mark" every where he goes!!!

Life is good here--but busy. Eric and Fred are leaving for the Big Sky Cancer Camp on next Weds. so I am getting ready for that!! It should be so much fun!!

Keep away from those mosquitos!!

Hi Kelly! I have been meaning to email you but I was out of the state and didn't have access to a computer. I am glad to hear that everything is going well. I hope you are able to get out and enjoy the weather. I check on Carl everyday and say many prayers a day for him and all of the children fighting this cancer. I got such a chuckle out of the last entry. I have a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old, so I know all about "WHY"!!!! Even though I have never met Carl, I can just picture him asking "WHY". It brings a smile to my face. I hope that Alex's Lemonade Stand was a huge success. I will continue to pray for and check on Carl everyday. Please tell Carl "hi", even though he doesn't know me. Gods Blessings to your family.

Well, it's "Happy Tears" Time again!!!! I like updates like todays. I'm soooo glad things worked out for Carl taking the pills & that he's feeling pretty good.
The "Is it est tile out?" is soooo cute,funny & a bit sad at the same time,had to laugh & smile reading it but sad that people have to worry about something like West Nile Virus when they go out.
I had to laugh about the "Why?/How come?" thing, when Chris was little, him & Uncle Freddy had a "thing" about that,we Still laugh about it,sorry Chris. Maybe it runs in the family:):):):)
Happy the weather has been nice,you're doing some fun things & meeting new people. Sending Big Hugs !!!!
Hi & hugs to the rest of the family too!!!!

Hi Robinsons - our god is an awesome god and prayer is powerful and it is evident in Carl's last results! Praise the Lord! We will continue to pray for full remission. It just touches your heart and soul to read such good news. Also I went to the lemonade stand and twins game the 12th and it was awesome!!! People at work told me they saw it on tv and I said I was there and it was just great and you came away with such a good feeling inside. Kelly it was great to finally meet you and to Tom and John and Janet and Joy and Denny and everyone else from the Robinsons I was able to talk to it was great seeing all of you again. You are an awesome family! As always ...you're in my thoughts and prayers......Hey Jeanne send me your new e-mail address!!

Hi. I apologize a thousand times for my lack of signing this. Following graduation (and before it for that matter) my life decided to go on a rollercoaster and I haven't had much time to think about doing too much. I do read Carl's page faithfully, though. It's so awesome to hear good news from Dr. Anderson. I've been praying for Carl so hard. I know he's a tough little boy and he can pull through anything. He's so blessed to have a family with such a strong anchor in God. As my mom and I were looking through the photo album of Carl, she made a comment of how much the middle picture of him in his bed really looked like my brother, Neiko. It's amazing how true that was. I'll have to send you a picture of him but I've heard the saying that everyone has a twin somewhere in the world and I think Carl and Neiko might be it. Anyway, I'm at work so I better get going before I get fired but I wanted to stop by and send you my prayers and best wishes. If there's ever anything you need, a special prayer request or anything at all, feel free to email me. God bless you all!

So glad to hear good news from Dr. Anderson! God continues to answer our prayers. Enjoy your week at home. Today promises to be beautiful here. Rivers are starting to drop here. The floodwall has kept our city safe once again! Boys are excited to be outside. Did you hear Eric got a hole-in-one last Friday? It was his first time out since the surgery in December. We probably wouldn't have believed it but Mark was with us & assured us it was true. He had seen it himself! Love & prayers always.

What a fantastic job on June 12th! I was so thrilled to hear how much money you & Camando's raised that day, as well as all over the United States for "Alex Lemonade Stand".
I'm a good freind of Stacey Hildebrandt and she talks about you all of the time. She is great about keeping everyone informed and up to date on how you & others are doing. I truly enjoy your web site and hope to meet you sometime.

It is good to hear Carl is doing so well. Was that Kory Koski buying lemonade at your stand? It had to be someone from the Twins with that haircut. Enjoy your week at home and tell Carl if he wants to pick up sticks at my house with is machine I am waiting. Tell Syd and Sam to hit the ball hard. I wish I could come watch, but, my little Migrants are really keeping me hopping. Enjoy your week at home and give Pika a kiss for me, Carl. Right on the lips.

Carl, so sorry to hear you got sick the other night, hope there's been no more of that. I can't blame you for eating quite a bit after getting home. You've been at the hospital so much, not that the hospital food isn't good but it's not the same as the good food at home !!!! So happy to hear that you will have a week at home before you have to be back in Rochester.
Glad you had fun at Sam's T-ball game, hope you're having a lot of fun Sam. I sure miss those days.
The AP Story is great, love the picture of Sam & that photo of Carl is one of my favorites !!!! Glad you added pics to the zeocast:):):):) Your buddy Jay's site was updated & there's a wonderful pic of him & Amanda at the prom.
Hope you enjoyed the Garfield movie. Good to hear Joy & Clair are home for the weekend. Have lots of fun at Morgan Days !!!!

Now it your turn Carl. You did it again, you made me have "Happy Tears" !!!! I'm soooo PROUD OF YOU !!!! After the rough week you had, you still had your own Lemonade Stand & raised about $20.00, GREAT JOB !!!! Give Auntie Jill & the nurses a hug for helping you set it up.

Kelly,

Saw you on KARE-11 and Fox 9 News. Looking good. Even saw little Sam serving up some lemonade. Shane was in the room at the time and he said, "Hey, there's Carl on TV!" I told him he was close, it was Carl's brother, Sam. Your story is also on the Pioneer Press website's homepage today, Sunday. Looks like you got lots of good exposure. I wrote a column about it in the Wabasso paper, too. Will send you a copy in the mail. Hope Carl is feeling better and back to his old self soon. Sounds like maybe he is since he tried to sell lemonade from his hospital room. What a guy! Take care.
Love, Krista

PS--Wanted to send a prayer petition your way for Carl to be feeling better soon!

Oh Heavenly Father, hear us as we pray for Carl. Remove every cause of sickness and grant him perfect health, which is yours alone to give. Grant also to Carl a loving sense of your nearness to guide, protect, and to help.
With Carl may we all come to know what it is to walk close with you every day of our lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

I continually pray for complete healing for Carl, Daniel and all the other children battling illness--May the Lord
grant them healing.

Hi Robinson's,
Well, I'm sorry to hear little Carl is still feeling yucky.. but that's good that he is gradually feeling better--I'm sure each day he will feel better and better too.
Those virusus can really knock your socks off--when they hit our family this winter it was miserable.
But as I say I'm glad he is on the up swing and I'm sure will continue to feel better quicky.
Wishing you great luck and success with the lemonade stand!
Love Always,
Sara and Vic

Hi Carl, Kelly & Tom:

We read last night that Carl had gotten sick. We Fischers are all praying extra hard that Carl recovers. I know how scared everyone gets each time the little man gets something. I also know it must be really disappointing with your big weekend coming up! You guys are just so amazing! God has certainly given you a mountain of strength to not only think of yourselves but also to give so much back that others can benefit from greater knowledge. Good luck with the stand on Saturday & we have prayers that Carl may get back to his playful self! Love to all

Robinson's,
Sorry to hear Carl isn't feeling well. I hope he gets better soon! Kelly - you wrote about Alex Scott being on Oprah. I tape Oprah (and Dr. Phil!) every day and just watched Monday's episode last nite. It brought tears to my eyes to see Alex on there talking about her lemonade stand. Her parents are so strong and so is she for being only 8 years old! I have an 8-year-old daughter myself and it just breaks my heart to see these little kids going through this awful journey. You inspire me with your courage and I commend you. I think about Carl often and check your website every week. You do a great job keeping everyone on top of what's going on in your lives. Thank you for opening your lives to everyone. I wish the best for you and your family.

I had a bad tummy ache and couldn't hold the puke down any longer! Maybe if you are feeling better I will get to see you on Friday before you guys leave to go to the cities. It is just the pits that Jessie and I are in a wedding on the same day as your lemonade stand!!!! I am hugging you in my heart and hoping and praying that you feel better soon!!!!

**I have been blessed by Carl myself, on my last visit to see Deb and Drew.
**Carl has a way of makeing himself at home. It was a joy to see that little fellow busy and happy. I was sitting in our room and the door just opened and in walks this little guy, I had not yet met. Deb say's this is Carl.
So this,is the most popular guy on campus? "I ask my wife". Debs reply? Yes! This is the little man we have been talking about on the phone. Well,it was if we were family, and in God's way we are. Tell Carl that Andrew's dad say's hi. Looking to visit in July. Jerry/Andrew's dad...

It is good to read that Carl is doing okay and enjoying the fun activities at the Ronald McDonald House. We certainly understand your confusion at trying to deal with so many different doctors. It sometimes seems as if no one is on the same page. If only we knew that we would have needed medical degrees with specialization in oncology in order to raise our children! You know that we are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Take care and God bless.

I really wish that I could have come home, and as if it werent bad enough, Jen then had to rub it in that you had ham dinner too. The trip to Nebraska was good, but very very long. Dustin is definitly out in God's country, and 30 miles from the nearest town (and that only has a population of not even 300).
I hope that the week of chemo goes well. Hopefully we'll see you soon. I miss you all so much!!

Hey there Carl and Kelly - We are soo glad to hear that you were the first one's to occupy "our room". It was great to be able to go home, but yet very sad to leave all our new family and friends.

Justin was happy to hear that Baldy is in the room.

There is a chance that we will be in the Cities on the 12th (My oldest will hopefully be competing at State Track) and if we are, we will try to get game tickets and see Carl's stand.

Our thoughts and prayers are will you as you go through this next round of treatment. Take things one day at a time and before you know it all will be healthy.

I hope you all are doing well. I am looking forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks. Carl, good luck with your treatments this week, I will be thinking about you. Hugs and Kisses to you all.

Hi everyone !!!! I'm sure you are all enjoying visiting with all who came to home this weekend:):):):) Hope the weather is behaving. Cool colors for the lemonade stand!!!! I'm sure you all will have a good time putting it together & have many wonderful memories from this. Hopefully, one day, the BEST memory of all will be that all you have done ( along with everyone else on this planet ), that there is no longer any need to raise money to find a cure for cancer, that cancer no longer exsists & is only ~ a memory!!!!
Hope you had a good time at Bryan's sports awards ceremony!!!! Hi Bryan, Congrats to you & the Hawks for another awesome year!!!!It's been fun checking up on the team all year. Say Hi to Emily!!!!
Have a Great weekend!!!!

Howdy!

Just wanted to say hi and I can't wait to see ya tomorrow. I should be rollin' past Morton around 8:30 tonight. I have to work until 4 and then I am taking off. I packed up last night and this morning so I wouldn't have to go home after work. Jessie can't come home this weekend. :( She has to work at the horse barn tomorrow and is also going to Nebraska to bring Dustin to his internship at a cattle operation. She said she was torn...(she still is torn) on what to do. She wants to come home so bad too!!!! Anyways...I better get back to work. Not many farmers in today (since it is sooo nice out for a change)...the office has been pretty quiet and there are only 4 of us working today so that's good. See ya this weekend!!! I can't wait!!! Love you lots!!!!!!!!

Carl and Company,
I have a quick minute to use someones computer to write to you. Honey, we pray and pray for your days to all be good ones and your disease to disappear--it has been around way too long.
Kaden will have his very first baseball game today so pray for him to enjoy it. He is an over achiever which is not always good so teaching him not to get frustrated is what we are working on now.
We, believe it or not, will get high speed internet by the end of the week and then look out--it will be back to notes every day.
Our prayers and thoughts of you all are constant.
Jesus loves you and so do we.

Isn't it true that you now see the miracles in the simplest things in life like Shrek 2. I laughed reading your entry, because every parent knows how you watch that "one" movie over and over and over again. With Annie it was Rainbow Brite at the San Deigo Zoo. And I can still sing "Can you Jump like a Kangaroo."
Have a wonderful weekend.

hi Carl and family,
thank you Carl for coming to our Celebration of Life weekend at the Lucan City park. I was so happy when I saw you and your family at the carnival, I hold you and your family very close to my heart.

Dominic's Lemonade stand earned $400.00 towards the Caring Bridge web site on behalf of Carl and John Frank...so many kids and parents helped sell and it was a success. the pictures of you and Sam at the stand are adorable, we hope you had lots of fun...

My friend Sheila Rubendall was a great help in getting the Lemonade stand idea off the ground and she donated much of the lemonade that was sold...so my appreciation goes to her also,

I hope we see you again real soon Carl and I leave you with this thought...

Celebration of Life

Give thanks for the gift of life,
and the opportunity to celebrate
every day, as we remember
to be grateful for the things
that are really important...
Faith, Hope, Love
Family, Friends and God.

p.s. Dominic's favorite color is orange too Carl...

Dear Robinson Family...

So happy to read about the "normal" family things you have been doing. Doesn't it just feel wonderful to do those "normal" things. They no longer feel normal....but more special when your family has been touched by a life threatening disease...

Uplifting thought for the week...
"Courage and fear � those two attributes are strange bedmates. It would seem impossible to experience both of them at the same time, yet I believe that�s the challenge of the Christian life. Fear tells us that life is unpredictable, anything can happen, but faith replies quietly, 'Yes, but God is in control'�. By Sheila Walsh.

Prayers continue...
Angel Hugs!

Hi Robinsons! Soooo very happy that Carl has made it through this round of chemo with flying colors! And, regarding the ear wax, Carl, Andrew gets those "plugged up, waxy" ears all the time! ;-)

Hey, you remember that we loved the Disney cruise, and ours was only the 4 day one, which is what our local MAW chapter offered. In fact, we were there 3 years ago this week! However, the Alaska trip sounds great too! And, selfishly speaking, maybe you would fly into Seattle or Vancouver originally and we could see you! :-) The cruise ships to Alaska go right by our neighborhood beach!!

Love, hugs, prayers to all...and safe travel home to the farm! We have alpaca shearing this weekend...hard work, but should be fun!

Hi Kelly and family, just checking in on you all tonight. Saw the little dog and fire hydrant so thought I better leave my print on your website...what a cute little cartoon! What a small world when I read about your new friend Justin from Crookston. Just found out that my sister and her husband (they have 2 kids ages 6 and 3) from Rochester are moving to Crookston. My brother-in-law will be teaching at the University there in the Biology Dept. perhaps I can hook them up with your nieces as they know nobody up there yet. They are moving this summer. Well I better go here, please know we never stop thinking about your family. You are in our prayers everyday. Not only Carl but all the other kids too and you and Tom!

The pictures at Ronald McDonald House in New York sure brought back a lot of memories. I think about Carl quite a bit and even more since Jordan Luke died. Jordan was a very special person to Rachel and I--his mommy, Cheryl, too. He will be greatly missed. Praying that this next chemo round goes well for Carl (as well as a CHEMO round can go) and that Carl gets his miracle.

Kelly, I agree with the entry below - You are MOTHER of the YEAR!!!! Thanks for printing the entry for mothers that have lost a child. I had a stillborn baby 25 years ago and it never goes away - you think all of the things it stated. Have a very HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY. You and your family are always in my prayers and I enjoy your entries even though I don't get you told. Thanks for making us mother's think about the wonderful children we have no matter what age they are.

Hey everybody! Carl, you look so cute on your tractor! You sound like my little brother, he goes around the yard on his tractor picking up hay that was banking our house. I bet that you two would get along so good together. Sydney, I hope that your skit goes good...it may be already over, so I hope it was fun! Have a good night everybody!

Hello!
My name is Amanda Dunlop and I am Andrew Spradling's big sister. Andrew has been living in the Ronald McDonald House for nearly 10 months awaiting a heart transplant. Over this time he has come to know and love Carl. I have heard so many wonderful stories about little Carl. I had the priviledge of meeting Carl briefly a few weeks ago while I was visiting in MN. What an angel! We think about Carl often. It's amazing the strength these children have, as well as the impact they have on others lives, including my own. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

With Love,
Paul, Amanda, and Benjamin

Hey Tom, Kelly and family,
Well with two finals to go today, I find myself up early trying to study but after over an hour of studying i found myself bored so i thought what better to do but check up on dear little carcar. I am glad to hear his results are coming back good, that is great news. I pray the others are just as good. The pictures are awesome.

Loved the new pictures, they made me smile!! Jenny's right about the one picture though, I think I smiled the most at that one because you could see the admiration from both sides!!! Glad you're home and results are coming back with good news!!
Have a wonderful day!!

As I look at your wonderful new pictures, and have tears rolling down my cheeks because Carl looks so healthy and happy, I realize that Kelly and Tom are not the ones spoiling this child rotten. I think he gets more love and affection from these long lost relatives in New York than he knows what to do with. The picture of that older gentleman and Carl is worth a million words. You need to frame that one....
Enjoy the spring and the wonderful blessing of good test results.
We love you!

Hey there!

I'm glad to read that you had a good time in NY! :) You were missed at home though. :) We had a good time at the wedding. Sam kept asking me why there was stuff hanging behind the car (the get-away car) at the church. I told him it made noise and he said why? why? why? to everything I said. Ha ha! I can remember asking why all the time when I was little too. The wedding went great and was so much fun. I am sad you missed it, but hopefully someday we will have another wedding to go to together! I think most of the Robinson's had fun. I am sure you will get to see the pictures before I do (since I won't be home until Memorial Day weekend). I love the new picture of Carl on the tractor! I am going to make it my new background. I miss you all sooo much!!! Have a great time enjoying the warmer weather (than up here--it's freezing!) Love you lots!!!

Love

Hi Kelly!
Oh, I just cringed when I read about the turbulence you had on your return flight--I am the HUGEST baby when it comes to turbulence on an airplane. I really hate flying anyway and when that happens I freak out. So, I am sorry to hear about that, though I'm sure you handled it much better than I would have! :o)

Hi everyone!!!! Glad to hear you got home OK !!!!
Ugh,sorry to hear you had a bumpy flight but glad it didn't bother Carl.Keith & I were hoping the wind would settle down with you all leaving. About 1 a.m. this morning, the wind was so noisy & every once in a while I'd hear a scraping sound, I realized it was our BBQ inching across the patio, I'm happy to report it was still upright this morning:):):):)
Kelly, don't faint but....the pictures are still NOT on the computer (we usually have the camera hooked up to the computer 2 minutes after walking in the door),we have soooo many photos in there we're afraid the computer is going to get ticked off & start spitting them back at us.Yesterday I organized them to put on disk so we should have them soon, hope they came out OK.
Well, I have to run, things to do. Again, it was great to see you guys & to be able to give you a Big Hug!!!!Enjoy your week together. Feel better Sam.I sent an e-mail, hope you get it OK (having trouble again).
WE MISS YOU !!!!

Hi everyone !!!! I'm happy to say Keith was able to take today off so my whole family went to Freddy & Patti's!!!! We were all so excited to see Tom,Kelly & Carl again & give them a Big Hug & Kiss!!!!Everyone looks GREAT!!!! The weather was nice (it did get cool & windy later in the day) & had fun playing baseball. Carl has a pretty good swing & the ball went pretty far BUT....once in a while so did the bat & you didn't know which direction it might go so you've all been warned!!!!When Freddy was 1st baseman & Patti hit the ball & got to the base.... there was some hugging & kissing going on & Freddy finally decided that....Patti DID.... MAKE IT TO 1st BASE;0)Then of course was all that great food!!!!We all had a wonderful time!!!! Thanks for everything Freddy & Patti.
Hi Bryan, miss you, happy to hear about Emily, say Hi for us. Sydney & Sam, can't wait to meet both of you.Hope everyone back in MN is feeling better!!!!

Carl and family,
Praise God that you are doing well and coming back home today. My computer is still not working properly so we will get a new hard drive next week so I can write everyday.
We love and miss you all so much and reading back journals is just great.
Carl, I suppose you are getting ready to sell lemonade soon aren't you? Won't that be an awesome day. I imagine Bryan, Sam, and Sydney will help you though so you get a break, huh?
Kaden and I are going to a "Storm" game tonight, which is our indoor arena football team. We have such a good time together but still pray for the day we can all meet.
Carl, last week I flew to San Antonio for my nephews wedding and stayed a whole week. It was great. Joshua will be deployed again soon to Iraq so that made it even more special.
Your picture with Sam and the beautiful yellow dandelions for your Mom is precious.
Remember, always, that we love and pray for you all the time even though I don't get to write everyday.
Give everyone a kiss. Congrats Bryan in the new girl in your life.

Wanted dead or alive! That is my daily message with the Bible verse from Romans 6:11 "Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus."
God Bless all of you and God Bless America.

Tom, Kelly and Carl,

I haven't written in a long time, but I still check in on Carl everyday! I thought about writing today after I heard a tap, tap on my door this afternoon. I opened it to find my two little angels (devils in disguise) with grins on their faces and "Mommy flowers" in their hands. I immediately thought of Carl and how he has taught us to relish these special moments and never take anything for granted. I hope all goes well for you this week in NY, our prayers are with you always.

Hey Carl, Kelly, and Tom. Wow, not one day goes by that little Carl isn't in our prayers. He seems to be doing just great! I guess he and Anna are "Kindred spirits". Looks like we'll start ABT on compassionate appeal cuz ANNA just turned 19 on the 19th and she needed to be 18, and platelets >100 to qualify for the clinical trials. Chop has had some great sucess with this drug keeping the monster at bay. We're hoping its approved and we'll start soon. Until then Anna is finishing up her freshman year and hopping aboard the Queen Mary 2 for Katie Couric's cancer fund raiser this weekend. Cool ehh? We Love you, Laura, Bob, and Anna

I think it's great that Carl got a new bike, I'm anxious to see it. I'm happy to hear that your having a good week and I hope that Sydney, Sam,and Tom are too.

Oh, how I love to visit your site. Like I've mentioned before, I feel like I'm at a house that isn't a "house" but a "home." I can almost smell the apple pie baking in the kitchen !!! It's a true blessing to read everthing is going as planned with Carl's road map. I understand completely how you feel about the line situation. It's a "doorway" or the "entrance" into our precious children's bodies. And yes, it's okay to be over protective. The nurses should have nothing but respect for you as a parent that you are on top of things !!! And, it sounds like they are appreciative. You're doing a great job with the "juggleing act."
Yes we had a wonderful time at Disney. Kelly, you can understand that it was a "bitter sweet" happy time, because you are a parent, like myself and many others, (too many as a matter of fact,) of a Neuroblastoma child. My heartfelt prayer is that after they find a cure for this beast, someone will open a retreat for all of our "survivors" where they can run and play knowing they have this awful beast behind them !!! Over the gate of the entrance to this future magical place will read: It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear." Isaiah 65:24
My love to your special family and my prayers too !!!

Hi Robinsons!
Thank you so much for the prayer requests for mike ( Loni's )
husband. I know how much peace can come knowing that you are not being the only one praying for the healing of your loved one. That pressure alone can be overwhelming. I love my sister so much and It is hard to see her ( like you talked about today ) juggling work and home and husband and daughter and the list goes on. We can only help them so much. So Thank you again. I will also continue to pray for you and yours. Hopes for you all to have a great day in the Lord.

Hi everyone!!!!
Hi Tom, glad to hear you questioned how his port looked. (This is for Kelly too)The past week or so, I read about 2 kids that ended up with a line infection,I think it was there port, it wasn't wiped clean & the parents tried to stop the nurses from putting in the needle but they couldn't stop them in time & they ended up sick.So if something doesn't look right,whatever it is, it's reasonable to question it. About being paranoid or a little ( or even a lot ) cautious, I don't think that's possible, you're being good parents trying to stop you child from possibly getting an infection,especially with what you have going on next week. If anyone thinks you're a pain in the butt....oh well....most won't & for those who do, they'll have to deal with it.Keep up the good work you two:):):):)
Carl, glad to hear your day went well. Hey, how many miles have you put on your new little bike already????Have fun sweetie!!!!
Sam, how did the swing turn out????
Hi Sydney, I hope you found your volleyball!!!! I read on Kala's site today that there were a lot of warnings going on with the weather over the weekend,guess everyone made out OK.
BRYAN....2 RBI's, AWESOME!!!! Congratulations to Bryan & the Hawks on your win!!!! WEEOOOO!!!!
Glad to hear you got the unlimited mobile to mobile service, that's great, you'll love it.
Well, time to scoot,it's late.

I read tour last journal entry today and I now realize how important it is to say hi. I also am thrilled at how well Carl has been doing. Knowing that he can play outside just like any other kid. Like you said the gift of time. Also by reading the journal It sooooooo reminds me to be grateful and to not take anyone or thing for granted. I know that you have a lot on your plate as a prayer worrier but wonder if I could impose on you to pass along a prayer request. My sister Loni's (Tom�s cousin) husband has had Leukemia for a few years now but it has always been at a doormat state. Well it now has reared it's ugly head and he finished his first round of chemo and came home on the 10th of April. We are grateful at this point that the leukemia is treatable and that the first round seams to be working. Please pass on to Aunt Phyllis and Uncle George if you would as they were at their wedding and would hopefully remember him.

Hey Guys! I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend, and enjoyed the HOT weather I hear you had down there. It was kinda cold and rainy here this weekend. Only a few more weeks of school left, I'm sure that Sam, Syd, and Bry are all counting down the days. I know that I am. I got a job for the summer working out at the University Teaching and Outreach center a.k.a. the horse barn here on campus. I will be working with my friend Rhonda that was down for my birthday all summer, so it should be a fun time (plus that I get to work with horsies all summer too). My other excitment for this week is that I get to go home with Dustin this weekend to see all of the baby calvies at his house. As of Friday I think there was like 192 of them running around. Anyway I suppose I should go pay attention to class. I hope you all have a fantastic week!
Love you and miss you so much!!

You've been having some pretty warm weather there,glad the boys have been out exploring the world & finding little friends (fuzzy & wiggly ones ) & when they're done visiting, taking them back home :):):):)
That's so exciting that the Twins are playing against the Phillies that game being Alex's home state !!!! Well, I'm sure there'll be a few more Phillies fans watching that day, Keith's relatives (on his fathers side) also live in PA:):):):)

So happy to hear that Carl's neck looks so good after the biopsies. Glad you get to come right home after getting the 10 day counts checked:0)
Now, did I see the words NEW YORK???? YIPPEEEE!!!! New York is ready for Carl!!!! Family will be waiting to give you guys BIG BEAR HUGS!!!!Hope there will be time for all of us to get together. I wish I could see the smiles on the faces of the Drs, nurses, staff & at "The Donald House" when Carl goes zipping down the halls:):):):)That sounds like a good idea having the scans done here to compare to the last ones they took.
Easter's almost here already....What a Great tradition....Such wonderful memories the kids have coloring Easter Eggs with Grandma Phyllis every year:0) Enjoy your dinner at Uncle John & Auntie Sheila's.
Well, it's late, time to saw some zzzz's.

I was just thinking about the trampoline the other day. I'll bet the kids are happy it set up again. We had nowhere to put ours, it stayed out all winter, it still looks OK.
Glad you were able to stop at the Tim Orth Benefit.Great photos of the mascots. Did the kids get to see them up close? Hey Carl,where'd you put all that ice cream????
Hi Sydney, that is so sweet about the towels & hugs from your Grandparents, I love it!!!! Sounds like you had a good Spring Break.

I'm sure that trampoline is a blast for the kids--WOW!!!What great exerice too--and a good way for them to release all their "kid energy" so they are finally tired at bedtime(when us parents are!)-hee hee
--When I get close to my due date I may have to come over and take a few jumps on it myself to get labor going!--ha ha
It is so nice that Spring is here and they can enjoy the great minnesota outdoors we have here!

I'm sooo happy that Carl is doing so great!!!
He is amazing! He is such a miracle! God is so good!
And you guys are such wonderful and amazing parents!!!

Yippeee !!!! We have SUNSHINE on Long Island !!!! It's probably at least 2 weeks since we have seen any sunshine.I read on another site that it was sunny in the city yesterday but not here, actually, we had rain.It seems like people are partly solar powered, when it's cloudy or rainy for a while, we tend to drag along & may even get a bit grumpy but as soon as the sun comes out, we can't wait to run out the door.Well, it's cold & windy out there so I'm not exactly running out the door but.... it sure put some pep in my step!!!!

Kelly and Tom,
I hope you are not too discouraged about the minimal cells found in the bone marrows. I know of this happening to someone who was NED and they told her it was actually ganglioblastoma--and they didn't need to do anything about it. In any case, he has responded incredibly well, and will continue to! You know how effective the antibodies are in clearing the marrow when there is residual cells left--maybe some beta glucan and 3f8's --or accutane-- is all you need to get those last little buggers--if they are chemo resistent.
Do not lose faith--(and I can see in your entry that you haven't)
Carl is doing great and is making wonderful progress and will continue to do so!!
Much Love and Prayers,
Sara

I am very happy to hear Carl's surgery went well. Our prayers are being heard. I really laugh at your comparison of Carl to the Energizer bunny! Tell Sam I am deeply saddened that Fred the calf did not make it but the way it goes sometimes. We Fischers will pray especially hard for good test results. He is God's little miracle before our eyes every day!

Hi Robinson's,
I know I already told you in an email earlier today how absolutely thrilled we are (beyond thrilled!) about the biopsy result, but it definately bears repeating! :o)
We are soooo thrilled beyond words that it is fine and this scare can be put behind us! I truly felt this would turn out okay and I know you did too--but until you get the test result one cannot help but feel anxiety. So I am so pleased the surgeon said it looked good. WHEW!! Praise God!!!
Once again, He comes through for us!
Thanks again for keeping us all updated--you really do an amazing job with Carl's website!!!
So glad to hear Carl is feeling good even with an infection.
Boy is he one tough kid! (Tough but sweet at the same time!)
GO Carl!!!!!Hurray!!!!!
We love you all!

Rejoicing with you,
The Hammer's

Hi All,
You know, I can be having a bad day, feeling down or out of sorts, grouchy or yucky, and all I have to do is read about Carl. Then I stop and think, scold myself and put a smile on my face. He is the most uplifting person I know. I remind myself you need to "believe". That's all, no questions. I cannot imagine coming out of surgery and being ready to eat and play. He's...un"believable"!! Sam, I think you made the Redwood Gazette today. That sure looks like you on the Opinion page. And even though you may not get outside to play too much this week, you sure are lucky to be with your brothers to play with. That will be every bit as good. Then, maybe by the time you and Carl get back to the farm, it will be nice enough to play outside. We'll pray for that too!! Kelly, maybe with Bryan there, you can get a little time to regroup. And just think of poor Tom, back here working, doing chores, taking care of everything!! You're commended for all you do too!! Hopefully you get time to regroup too!! Take care all and so happy to hear the great news!! I'll be praying for more!!

I think you better check the tires on it, you've probably worn them out by now:):):):) You know, I think Carl could teach the Energizer Bunny a thing or two~HEE HEE!!!! I wonder what Nurse Denny will say if you see him tonight????
Hi Sam, are you & Carl racing around on the tractors? Hey Bryan, are those little guys wearing you out? Hope you are all having a good time together!!!!

Hi Kelly and Tom,

Just wanted to let you know that we attended a special healing mass this morning, and that I lifted Carl up in prayer as well (of course!). I could definately feel the presence of the Holy Spirit there with us today.
And I prayed hard for all of our many precious children battling cancer.

Wishing you an abundance of blessings always.. my dear friends--
Love in Christ,

Together we can pioneer a work among Neuroblastoma children. When the battles we go through as parents, are fought together on our knees. The "waiting room" is always difficult, but as we all come together as one, to pray, and to share each others burdens, we can watch as God works His miracles of grace.

Looking foward in coming down again and visiting. So, keep those running shoes on Carl and remember to bring the hot wheel cars for the sand. Kelly your like the sunshine outside, no matter what is going on your life, you smile and keep priecing though the clouds to make it a better day. We are all proud of you. Give Kayla and her mom a hug it was wonderful to meet them in person.

Two hard weeks of work, thousands of pictures later and lots of rubber cement, too, it is finally finished. I have to say it really looks nice . Now we'll see what it looks like when it comes back from the printer.

In other news from the Fischer house, Eric got his hair cut, big time. His grandma is so happy. Grandpa Dick doesn't have to call him girlie-boy anymore!

I just got home from Rochester and read your journal. We got so busy I never had a chance to try to search you out, but by reading I see that most likely would not have happened anyhow! I hope Carl is feeling better now, he's in our prayers. I did think of him as we stopped by the Toy Zone in the Miracle Mile on the way home and saw all these tiny orange knights they have to make up an army. I don't think I'll ever see orange without thinking of Carl.

Hi guys!

I am so sorry to read about Carl's seizure. Very scary!:( I am hugging you in my heart...a GIANT HUG from "Sweet Cousin Jenny". :) I hope things will get better from here and I will be praying for you. Remember what Grandma always says "SMILE AWHILE". She used to tell me that when I was little and feeling "down in the dumps". It helps sometimes when you are feeling down and hopeless...and remember...we always have something to smile about when we look at sweet Carl and our whole Robinson family and how awesome we are. :) I better get back to work...but just wanted to let you know I am thinkin' about you!

I miss you and love you lots!!

Kelly and Tom,
Thank you for the update--you guys are constantly on our minds, in our hearts and in our prayers--we are fighting for Carl right along side you.

I have to say that I find it reassuring that Carl has a fever.(I am sorry he had the seizure as I know he has a history of getting them with fevers..)But for some reason
I am reassured by the fever--it makes sense with the virus theory we are hoping for that is causing his swollen lymph node.

Please know we will continue to check for updates and we are always praying that we will recieve GREAT news about our little Carl man! Now and going forward too!

I know how indescribably stressful these scares are and the ups and downs of this rollercoster ride really do take its toll on us.
I will pray that when this scare is behind you that you get only good news from here on and there will be much more calmness! You folks are so deserving of that. I have the greatest respect for you all.

Love ALWAYS,

Hey guys,
Hope you guys had a blast at the tournaments. I just got home a bit ago from the North Dakota State Class B Boys Tournament and boy did I have fun there. I attended three games and only wish the third game woulda had a better result. The Milnor Bison made it from our region and I know a lot of guys on that team, so i was up at Fargo cheering for all of them. They placed 2nd in the State losing to Dickinson Trinity in the state championsip game. Oh well at least they can say they placed 2nd in the state.
Hope you all are doing great.
Love,
Dustin

Hey guys!! I had to write again to say that I watched a deal this afternoon during the girls state tournament before the Wabasso game started about Bry's hockey tourney. I was very excited to see it. It told all about the Dakota County Hawks and the tounrnament this weekend. I was very proud to say that MY COUSIN is playing in that. My friend Rhonda (she was there on my birthday) thought that it sounded like a pretty cool sport. I hope that you guys do awesome! We will all be cheering for you up here in Crookston!!!! GOOD LUCK BRYAN!!!!

Hello Robinson! AWESOME PICTURES!!! hahaha Tom is so skinny! Us kids also are looking pretty spiffy....I swear whoever designed clothes and hair do's back then needs to be punished. I'm so glad to hear that things contine to go well, and Carl is pain free and having fun at home. I just got back to Crookston last night from my little tour of Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota for my spring break. Dusty and I went down to my Mom's, and then out to SD to look at a horse, and then back up to his farm to see all the new baby calvies. There wasnt too many when I was there, but I cant wait until next time cause there will be loads of the little cuties. How are your bottle calvies doing carl?? I bet they just love you. Hope you guys have a good weekend....hopefully will see you soon. Love you guys!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone !!!!
I agree Kelly, it doesn't seem like that long ago.That's when Keith & Justin met you & Carl for the 1st time & seeing Tom again after so many years. I remember the bagpipes, we were on the phone & you said, "I think I hear bagpipes" & next thing I knew, I did too so we hung up. What a nice surprise!!!! Also, you saying how cute Carl was with our digital camera,he loved being able to see the pictures right away.When my guys got home, they put the pictures on the computer & had fun telling me about the day & the pictures Carl took.... Boots foot, Boots eye, the top of Boots head & Blurry Boots:):):):)I'm impressed Carl, with that camera when you push the button there's a delay before it takes the picture, you must have stayed very still,when I take pictures, they're ALL blurry!!!!
Well, we hope you all had a fun day.Hugs to all the families & thanks Jen for the family history on Leotard !!!!

Carl and family,
After all these weeks we are still trying to get our computer up and running. Things were fine until we took it to best buy to get a Windows update. It came back with 5 viruses and MSN can't figure out how to get rid of 3 of them.
We pray every single day and night for you all and Carl, what an awesome God we have to be healing you of this dreaded disease.
My meditation today is Helping hands lighten many loads.

We love you very much and wish you only the best each new day.

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!!!!!!!!
It is so nice to see the sun shining. Kiri and Nick both had to wear there St.Patty's clothes today.Nick wanted to have green shamrock tatoos (fake) all over his arms and I'm sure on his face. I can only imagine what he will look like when he comes home from school.He mentioned green washable marker. Oh Dear, it's a good thing in this case we don't live closer cause if Sam and Carl seen him they would have to do it also ;)) Just thinking about you and hope you all have a Fun day.

Hi guys!

Happy St. Patty's day!!!!!! I hope it will be a fun one for you all. :) Sounds like everything is going well at home...I am so glad for you! :) I had forgot that it was Leotard that we milked that day. She was our favorite cow when I was little. She had a baby that we named Bunny (she was born on Easter). Bunny had a baby named Liddy that I showed for 4-H. She was my favorite cow and I got to show her at the state fair when she was a calf in 1994. When she had a baby we put her in the same stanchion that her Grandma had. Just a little tid bit of cow history from Uncle Denna's farm. Just think, one day you guys will have those memories of your 4-H calves! :) Yay! Well I better get going...I am going to get off work at noon today to go to Detroit Lakes to help my friend Staci find an apartment. She got a job as the new 4-H coordinator in Becker county! Hope you guys have a great day today!!!!!!!!! I miss you and love you lots!

Hi Jean, glad you enjoyed the pictures.
The 2nd picture is Freddy coaching our neice Heidi ( Stephen's daugh.) how to milk Leotard. Leotard was very patient as we each had a chance to milk her,for some of us it was a 1st time experience,it was fun & a lot of laughs:):):):)

I LOVED the pictures of all the kids with the calves. I think that's the one thing I enjoy the most about spring...all the new babies. And hopefully some warm weather pretty soon!! It still amazes me how grown up Sydney has become and what a pretty young lady she is. Kelly, I remember when you were working at the Gazette and she'd occasionally come in to go to dance. How fast time flies. The boys look like they're having so much fun feeding the babies.
Enjoy spring and my prayers are with you!!

Well, HELLLO!!! Sorry it has been awhile. I have been checking your website and keeping everyone here up to date. This weekend all of us, gathered around the computer and looked at those terrific photos. There was so many ohhs and ahs that you would of thought we were at the fire works. The family and friends really enjoyed them. Its is so great to hear things are going good and tell Bryan that we all wish him the best of luck. I will be calling you soon and hopefully get down there to see all of you again.

WOW, that was fun sending the pictures,reading the e-mail comments & talking on the phone !!!!Hey Tom, hope Kelly didn't give you TOO much ribbing !!!! Enjoy looking at them, we sure do. Tom, give your parents a hug for us. We had so much fun when we stayed with them on our visit (as Jen put it )...." back in the day".
The V.I.P. thing I said I would tell you today....For all you soap opera fans....All My Children....Susan Lucci's daughter was married yesterday & they had the reception at the Hotel where Keith works. Keith & his crew prepared the food for the reception. He went in early today & is still at work now, he had to be in early to cook breakfast for whoever stayed.He also cooked for her "Sweet Sixteen Party" so he gets to see her all grown up now.
Hi Bryan, Congrats to you & The Hawks for making it into the State Tournament AGAIN !!!! "GO HAWKS" ~ have a GREAT TIME !!!!

Hiya to all of the WONDERFUL Robinson family and extra special HUGS to Carl!
We've been out of touch for sooo long, and with some stressful times here in Washington, and with Carl doing so well last time we checked, I got complacent. But, the Lord led me to check Carl's site today. I am so sorry about the relapse, and we will put Carl at the top of our prayer list. But, this VERY SPECIAL little guy has been blessed with so many miracles, and I'm sure they will continue to happen!!!!
The "farm news" is fun to read, especially since we are all busy into 4-H. Jonathan is in Cattlemen's and Alpaca, Adrianna is doing Alpaca and Dog, and Andrew is doing Dog with his fairly new puppy. (His Genetics doctor had written him a letter to help him get a little dog, a Bichon, to help him deal with the emotional difficulties of not being able to do sports as much, etc.)
We're off to a basketball tournament for Jonathan. It will wipe him out, but he enjoys playing! :-) You are all in our thoughts daily still, and I'm sorry I haven't been more in touch in writing....Carl's picture is still on our frig!! Love, hugs, kisses, prayers.....Dena, Andrew, Jonathan, Adrianna Royal

Hi everyone!!!! Wow, a year ago yesterday for Carl's stem cell transplant & St. Patrick's Day will be 1 year that Keith & Justin had the pleasure of meeting Kelly & Carl for the 1st time & also seeing Tom again after so many years. Now that day will always have an extra special memory.
Hi Kiri, I read your Tribute & my eyes filled with tears, you have a way with words. It is awesome!!!!
Hey Tom, it was great to talk to you last night. That cold,windy weather you had there is getting here but the sun is shining so I'm not complaining.
Also hellos to Kelly,Bryan,Sydney,Sam & Carl,too!!!!
Sending BIG HUGS to everyone!!!!

Here's a reply to Jen's P.S. on 3-11-04. Ooooh yes, we do remember that day. That was the 1st time we ever saw chickens get butchered, I must say, it was very interesting, especially when they put it into the bucket ( I think you know what I mean )There was another 1st that day, we all got to milk a cow!!!!I spoke to your Uncle Tom last night about when I read your entry, my 1st thought was you were maybe 8-9 yrs. old, even give or take a few yrs., I was very impressed that YOU remembered.We had soooo much fun that day & every second of our visit to MN.(I was ready to move there!!!!).Take care.

Love to all,

Greetings on this beautiful Friday. The sun is finally shining, and even though everything is brown, the sunshine seems to put a smile on everyone's face. It is great news to hear that you may have some new options. They always say that....If God brings you to it, he will see you through it, and it is so true. We may not understand God's plan, but you're right, it will be revealed. The new pictures are adorable. I don't know much about farm life, but I did feed the calves at Denny's a couple of times with Matt, and I have to say that it was a lot of fun!! I'll have to come out and try it again with Carl! Have a great weekend at home. Hope to see you! Love ya!!

You look at those pictures and see the smile on all the kids' faces and you think "Who is sick? If someone is so sick, why is everyone so dog gone happy?" You are making wonderful memories for your children. I saw my girlfriend Pika in there too. She looks very interested. She is such an intelligent dog. Right, Tom?
Kiri did such a wonderful job on her tribute. You really should be proud of yourselves for coming through all of this sane. I am very proud of you all, every last one of you!
Stay warm.

Hey guys...I love the pictures...I started crying looking at them and the captions. I thought to myself..."self, that reminds me of when I was little and we had our baby calvies to feed" Then of course I thought of Sam and Carl when they get older and start showing cows with Syd and then become farmers. :) I love the caption of "two future cattlemen" I cried. I'm a sap. Just wanted to say hi and love ya! I gotta get back to work!!!

Love

PS. This is for Ann's comment about feeding calves at my dads back in the day. Didn't we also butcher chickens that weekend??? I swear we did! Funny how people don't remember the bloodier memories on the farm! :) hehehe just teasing!

I also remembered that today was the 1st anniversary of Carl's transplant.
Although of course I wish he had not relapsed, I too am so very very very grateful that he is doing so well!! Praise God!!!
And I think the mini transplant is certainly something that warrents checking in to! I don't know anything about that but it sounds very interesting!
You know you guys are always in our prayers--so very strong!
God is so much with you all!
All our love and prayers to you--always!

I started thinking about when we were there (I think it was 1989)~ (Justin was 5 yrs. old & Chris was 9) & they bottle feed the calves on Denny's farm & we all got a chance to milk a cow. That whole visit & everything we did,we had SOOOO MUCH FUN (especially seeing & meeting everyone)!!!!

Hi Kelly! I am so glad that the bone marrow was clear! What a blessing! Holly and I felt so bad we weren't able to come on Friday. The roads to Rochester were horrible. Maybe next time we are there, you will be too! We have an appt on the 19th, and then I think the 12-13th of April we will have appts again.

Devin still talks about playing with Carl. He says he wants to see him again. When we were at Mayo last time and walked through the area where they played, he told my mom all about Carl. He always tells people too about how that lady told us we couldn't take pictures. He gets all upset about it and says it is stupid! LOL

Take care and we think of you and pray for you everyday!

Praise God for your good test results. I continue to check on you and pray for you daily. You all are such a precious family. I know from Morgan how hard it is on the entire family. We just came back from a birthday party and Morgan was there. She is doing so well and it warmed my heart to see her up playing and running around being a normal happy child. There is so much power in prayer. Carl and Morgan are good examples of this.

Hey! WONDERFUL news on the scan. I am happy but jealous, you guys set to see all the "family" we missed by a week but thats ok, we will meet up again eventually with everyone. Susana called here yesterday and it was great to hear her voice again and that the results of Jorge's tests were good. Say Hi to and give hugs to everyone from us as they come, and also hugs from us to all of you. We will be leaving Sun. am to Ft Lauderdale to board the ship, and we are all excited of course, but nervous too. Packing is proving to be interesting already!! Take care and say hi to everyone, we will keep praying for the best for Carl.

Carl, I hope we can get together again sometime to dance in Grandma and Grandpa's livingroom to the music on the commercials and Grandpa's shows. Maybe we should go down there and dance while he watches his polka shows. It was fun...oh and so we can tease Sammy about how many girlfriends he has. :) Heehee! I miss you guys already! I am so glad Kel and Syd came to Meg's shower. I know it was kinda long, but I thought it was fun...and we made good egg bake with the help of Grandma!!! ;) I hope you are enjoying your door prizes!

Hi Robinsons,
I will be praying for clear BMA next week. We are getting ready for our Disney trip from Make a Wish in 2 weeks, can't wait. We are doing fine here, a bit rockey with the scans. NYC wanted an MRI for Sophia to rule out a cluster on NB in her marrow of her femur. So again we wait. I am not too worried. She does on rare occasion complain on pain in that leg but she is never laid up by it and usually only mentions it once. I know alot of these kids have such a high tollerence for pain to start with. But I am sure it is nothing and the DRs in Boston feel the same. Praying for you always. Time is flying by too fast. Take care. Love Diane and Girls

Hello Robinsons!!!
I am soo sorry i havent signed for a while, but i have been checking up on you! Sounds like things are going good now, not in the hospital either!--very good. I must tell you, You have my 100% approval for a Disney Cruise!! I went on it when i was in 9th grade-- actually to this date i was in Florida on the cruise in 2001!! We did 4 days at Disney and 3 on the cruise. You guys are the perfect age for it! I had a blast, and so did the rest of my family. It was very enjoyable. Carl, the kids in my morning latchkey have been asking how you are every now and then and i tell them good. They did make a couple Valentines for you and your family, but i was just too busy with college searching to get them sent out, i am very sorry, but happy late valentines day to you all!! WEll, i hope you are getting through the dregs of winter, hopefully this real MN winter will be over soon. Personally, I cant stand it ANYMORE!!! Well take care, stay well, and keep smiling!! I'll try to sign more often!All my prayers, Sarah

Maybe Carl knows something that the rest of us don't. Maybe God has told him the outcome. He's just testing the rest of us, because we all know how hard it is sometimes to just believe. Let's hope, huh!! Bless you all and happy cruisin'. I think that would be great for you all.

I don't want to sound selfish, but I do hope I am the Pika sitter. Lucky and Sophie would be very disappointed if she went somewhere else. We miss the little Poochie Pie.
Glad things are going so well. I think you should bring a nanny on the Big Red Ship so you and Tom could go and enjoy some "adult" things. I know just the person to go with. She is lots of fun. Her family would be happy to keep Pika, too.

Hi guys!!!! Caught the "short" entry earlier, looks like things are back to normal, being able to write a longer journal (hope it continues). I had a bit of trouble last night, that's why you have 2 of the same entries from me.
Carl, it sounds like you did good with getting the blood taken from your arm, I know what you mean about the rubber band, I had blood taken the other day & when she put it on my arm it pinched,ouch but she did good with the needle, it didn't hurt.Speaking of Dr.s & stuff, what a big boy taking care of Pika & going to the animal Dr. with her.Give her a snuggle for me & I'm sending a Big Hug for you.Glad to hear you are done with your oral antibiotics:):):):)
How exciting that "Make a Wish" came by to talk about what you'd like to choose. As your Mom said, you love the characters & you all had so much fun at Disney World, a Disney Cruise sounds AWESOME!!!! Being on a ship & all the places you would visit....but whatever you decide, I'm wishing you & your family have a WONDERFUL time!!!!
I read Eric's speech the other day & the tears started. He did wonderful writing it & the awesome thing he did ( I don't want to write much here to ruin it for others who want to go read it). He seems like such a nice young man & I'm sure his parents are very proud of him!!!!
Well, I have to go for now. Take care.

Waseca, MN - Sunday, February 22, 2004 11:49 AM CST

This is a prayer that I have prayed for Morgan many many times. It comes from a book called "Healed of Cancer" by Dodie Osteen. I will pray it for Carl now too.

O God, our Father, Your word says that You are a very present help in our time of need. I come to You now on behalf of Carl who is suffering with cancer. Father, I ask You in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to touch him and heal him.
Distance is no problem for You, God. As I pray, You are there with Carl, even as close as the very breath he breathes. So I am asking You to touch his body and heal him.
Now, you foul disease called cancer, I speak to you. Go from Carl's body in the Name of Jesus! I command you cancerous cells to wither and die at the root in the Name of Jesus! Devil, I bind your power in Carl's life, and I permit healing to come to him now, in the Name of Jesus!
Father, I ask You to replace with new cells those that have been damaged by cancer. God, You can do that, because what is impossible with man is possible with You. You are a God who cares, and we believe You will do it just because we have asked. You love us that much.
Father, may strength and wholeness come into Carl's body this very day. Thank you Lord for doing it.
I thank you, Jesus that we will hear good reports from people who have been healed because they held fast to their confession of faith without wavering, because You are faithful who promised. Thank You Father in Jesus Name. Amen

Hi Everyone,

Glad to hear that you are loving every second of your time back home. That snow....well we sure have enough of it to play with. Maybe be really sloppy as we speak but that is when it is the most fun. Tell those boys that it is time for snowman making. Loved the picture of "Pika" and Syd. Have to say her sister "Trixie" looks exactly like her. Jenny was over last weekend helping us plan for Meghann Hennen's shower and she said "Trixie" looks just like "Pika" but pika does not have as long as a tail as trixie does. She said that you dad tries not to admit he likes "pika" but they all can tell he really adores him. Poor Trixie's tail is so long....when she wags it the poor thing goes from side to side just about touching the ground. But she is so darn cute so we just do not really look at that. Is Pika hiding her bones...Trixie has bones hid all over the house and when we find them she barks and takes them away to hide in another spot. What a little fart! Carl, we are going to have to get those two munchkins together. Well...just thought I would stop and say "hi" and tell you we are all glad you are back home. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! So glad to hear that you are at home!! I know how it is being so far away from everyone and not being able to be at home for a while and how nice it is when you get to be there. (I miss everyone so much!!) Things in Crookston are very good. So far I'm still pulling all A's in my classes (we'll see how much that changes after this week, and 2 tests haha), and my trip to Purdue in Indiana for the American Dairy Science Association convention last weekend was a blast! I just got home from Muggs a bit ago, Jen and I had to go out and have some teas for tuesday tea night. I wish you could be there with us Kel-- now that I'm old enough and everything ;)-- since I know that you love them just like we do. I spose I better get back to my studying. I hope everything continues to go well for you back home. I miss you guys soooooo much, and love you even more. See you soon I hope!
Love~jes

Doctors????!!!!....won't go there but want to say we're so proud of the way you both stand up for what you feel is right ( or at least reasonable),question, inform THEM,get beyond their attitudes.... (& the list goes on),but with all the research you do, keeping on top of things & the awesome decisions you have both made,along with some very caring doctors, all the prayers from around the world & God looking over Carl that he is doing so well.Stay strong!!!!

Carl,
I am so sorry that my computer internet is still on the blink but I pray continuously for you to get rid of your infection and for the new treatments that may be an option for you right at home, or at least in Rochester.
God Bless you, honey, for the strength and endurance you have and that your family has, too.
I was at a prayer meeting today and prayed for you and all children with illness and disease. God is so good to give us the miracle and wonder of children.
Jesus' words still work faith. Share them!!
John 4:41 "Because of His words many more became believers."
The more prayer partners we can receive from God, the more prayers we can say for you.
I will keep in touch as I can and know that I am heartsick when I can't read your Mother's journals daily. She is a huge inspiration to me.
I will tell Kaden how you are doing now. He is going to come tonight and stay all week while his parents are in Cancun on a vacation away from the snow. He loves you so much and never forgets to include you in his bedtime prayers.
Have a great day and I am so glad that you will be closer to home now. Give everyone a kiss and hug from us.
Love in Christ

Hi guys...

I just wanted to say hi. Sorry I didn't get to see you this weekend...but I am praying that Carl will get better and I will see him soon. All I can think and say is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR to those jerk doctors. It is too bad you can't say that too their face...or punch them in the face. ;) I know that is bad to get violent...sorry. If people can't see the love and awesome-ness around Carl, they are blind. I am going back to Crookston tomorrow...but will be home again in 2 weeks for Meghann's shower. I hope I can see you then. If you are home, you should come down to the shower. It is at the catholic church in Morton from 10-12 on the 28th. I hope you can make it. It should be fun! :) Give eachother lots of hugs but pretend it is me giving them to you. I'm hugging you in my heart!!!!! I miss you and love you lots!!!!!!!

Love

I'm sorry to hear you're stuck in the hospital, but I'm sure you'll be out of there in no time at all. I don't know about you, but I've always loved hospital food. Maybe that makes me a tad strange, but it's always been the only part I've enjoyed when being stuck in the hospital.

Break out of there soon, buddy!

I checked out the photos on John Frank's page, they're very nice, Carl, you looked a bit shy (or were you teasing?). I hope you get a chance to put the photo you have on the site after you get home.
Glad to hear the temp. finally got in the 20's by you & it felt like a spring day. Well, get ready for a summer day, I heard by you in should be sunny & in the 30's tomorrow (oops,I mean today, it's after midnight by you now), ENJOY!!!! (I hope the weathermen are correct).

Hey there Carl,
i was just looking at your picture on my dorm wall and i wanted to say hi. I am so excited that you are doing so well. I am not surprised at all that the nurses love you. I remember when we were in new york together and all the nurses would talk about you and how cute you were. No hospital is the same without you there to climb into bed with me. I miss you. You are such an innocent breath of fresh air in my life. I have the snow globe on my desk, and the ground here looks just like it does in the snow globe, all covered in snow. I went to Universal Studios last weekend in LA, so we were both sort of at the same place, just different parts of the country. Anyways, I jsut wanted to say hi.
I love you carl and i wish you the best of luck in everything. I continue to pray for you and I know that God's perfect plan has amazing things in store for you.

He is doing better but still in ICU. If you get a chance to stop to see him would you do me a favor and give him a hug for me?

Sounds like you loved it at Disney World too.I'm soooo happy you got to see Jay, his Mom & Richie, I'm sure you guys had a great time. We were there about 5 years ago & we loved every second of it. We didn't get to go to Universal Studios, it opened about a month after we were there:(:(:(:(Hopefully we'll get back there some day.
How are the rest of you doing? Do you have much snow?We had snow overnight & it changed to rain & had heavy rain ALL DAY!!!! Our back yard tooks like a lake, the water is about a foot from our patio.Even after all that rain, we still have snow out there (from the last 2 storms).
In the Redwood Gazette on-line, there was a photo of the Middle School band, I was trying to see if Sydney was in there (not sure what school she goes to) but it was hard to tell, the photo was pushed down (even when made larger), remember to check your paper if it is her school.
Hey Carl & Sam, what toys did you guys play with tonight? Hope you've been able to get out to play these days, it's been so cold by you.
Tom & Kelly, hope you two haven't been working too hard & are finding time for fun!!!!
Take care. Miss you!!!!
Love & Hugs,

Carl and family,
Well, my computer internet is still not up and running right so I pray everyday for all of you and hope to be able to write daily soon. We are considering switching to high speed internet with Direct TV and then hopefully our problems will be solved.
How are all of you this snowy week? I bet you and Sam are having a great time out in the snow and making snow angels, playing fox and goose, making snowmen, and forts and whatever else comes to mind, huh?
We are praising God everyday for your success with this new chemo and the shrinking of your tumors.
Draw on Christ's love; it never runs low!
John 1:16 "From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another."

Kelly, We are hoping to get into RMH this weekend too. Hopefully we'll catch up with each other there. Karla is going to be in town on Tuesday I think too. I'll have my laptop so I'll check my e-mail and website if you want to try to get in touch if we don't get into "uncle Donalds" right away. Can't wait to see how much Carl has grown up. It's been over a year since we've seen you guys (Nov 02). Have a safe trip and we'll see you this week. Her first appt is Mon at 7:45-yuck. We actually have pre-8am appointments every day this week.

Hi Kelly... Have I ever told you how much I love your website? I don't know if it's the music or the pictures or the entire layout, but, it's like walking into a home where you feel "at home." It's probably the love that I feel pouring out of the words you write ever so eloquently. Thank you for sharing your life as a NB mom with us.

Hi! Kelly ( & anyone else who had to be out there),glad you got home safe after all your driving at work in the snow. Hope it's not icy for you all. We're suppose to have rain/snow & everything in between so I'm hoping it doesn't get icy here too.
I'll bet Sam & Carl have their trucks out!!!! Any tents today guys? Thanks for updating about the Grandma's. Hope all goes well with your mom Kelly & so happy to hear that Aunt Phyllis is home!!!!
Great update on the Disney vacation. While reading it, I smiled & got teary eyed, I don't know, guess just thinking of all the fun you all had & getting to see some friends too.
Well, I'm going to scoot, Keith started vacation on Sunday & is remodeling the bathroom, so he should be back from the store any minute. Take care.

Hi to you all from Atwater, I am Lori Andersons Mom and come the Carl site often and our prayers are with you everyday. There is so many these days in need of prayer, how thankful we all can be to have that assurance that GOD IS WITH US EACH AND EVERY SECOND. My husband continues to have good reports on MRIS for his Brain tumor but Dr wants more chemo. He has had 14 cycles of Temadar and it is working with GODS HEALING and we will continue to MARCH for ward and another MRI in MARCH. Love to you all and remember we are with you on this journey and as you do, feel the love and prayers from our WARRIORS> GOD BLESS YOU and give Carl and Hug from us.

Your right, Kelly, it is easier to look at the pictures now. Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip with us all. Tell Carl that he is #91 on the board for the shot gun. One of Fred's friends told him not to put him on the power tool one, he might get hurt. Those men like guns, too. They put Tom's name on behind Carl's, because you have to be 18 to gamble, I guess. Wouldn't that be a blast if Carl did win the gun!
Hope the washing machine gets fixed fast. I hate that when stuff like that goes screwy. Stay warm, enjoy your weekend, and we will chat with you later.

Hi!!!! What nasty cold weather you are having!!!! Temp. -18, feels like -38, that's not chilly, that's not even BRRRR, that's major league PAINFUL!!!! (We had Temp. 0, feels like -25 the other week,not fun, the water in the pipe coming into the house froze, no water for 1 1/2 days.)Be careful out there!!!!
I'm sure Carl & Uncle Chuck had a good time today. How was your visit with your parents today Kelly, hope they are doing well,been wondering how they & Aunt Phyllis & Uncle George are these days, send them all my love.
Sounds like Carl's medicine & checking cultures.... are being done at home, so happy you don't have to take him out in this cold weather.
Hope you are all home by now & snuggly warm. Take care.

Hello Robinson,
Speaking of cold, I am sure 50's would sound good right now but for us here in Florida, upper 40;s low 50's brings out the sweaters... The photo's of Orlando are great, it seems everyone is having a great time. Hoping everyone stays healthy during your "cold" period. Take care.

By Carl's side Guardian Angel stay
Close to keep him safe I pray.
Spirit of protecting Love,
Guard and guide him from above.

Bridge his path just for this day
Through the storm show him the way.
And as he walks with you my dear,
Your wings caress him while we hear

Celestial choirs of Angels sing
Of caring comfort that you bring.
Listen as they softly sigh...
Love so completely fills the sky!

Kelly,Carl and family,
How the heck are all of you? My computer has been down for 10 days but I am at my sister-in-laws today so can write.
I really miss not reading your journals daily, but I do not miss praying for my favorite email family in the world.
Carl,God Bless You as you fight an infection with as much courage and bravery that you do everything. You are such a fantastic child of God and we love you soooo very much.
Please pray for me today as my Aunt Lila, just passed away from lung cancer. She lives in the wonderful state of Minnesota, specifically in Two Harbors, north of Duluth. She has been my stronghold and inspiration all of my life. She loved the Lord more than life and I am rejoicing that she has gone home to be with Him. She has been waiting a life-time here on earth for this great day. My heart is heavy and the tears flow peacefully down my face as I pray that she, my Mom, and Grandma are having coffee together for the first time again in 37 years!!
Carl,take good care of yourself and I will write again soon. Pray for safe travels for our families as we go to northern Minnesota in this cold, cold weather.
We love you very much. Keep waiting upon the Lord and He will have a miraculous cure for you, Carl.
Love in Christ.

Hi Carl and family, So sorry about your line infection. Anna had one last year, it goes away, but is just one more thing. Great about your scans! Praise God you respond to chemo! Anna just started radiation last week . She'll go everyday for 10 days for treatment on her legs. She's still hama positive. Maybe radiation will help in making her hama negative. Loved your pics of Disney! What a wonderful family vacation. Tom and I discussed how difficult it is to schedule vacations in between treatment and it looks like we managed to get away for our trip around the same time as you all. Our pictures are on web now (we were inspired by you) Love and prayers, Laura and Anna O'Connor. annabanana.org

Hey guys!
I just wanted to write to you quick and say howdy. I also wanted to ask a favor of you. It is for one of the ladies who work in the FSA office, Betty Metzger. Her husband, John, just had a brain tumor removed and is in an induced coma I believe. I don't know her very well, but would appreciate any prayers for Betty, her husband and her family. Pray that they may get through this difficult time and stay strong for eachother. His website is www.caringbridge.org/mn/johnmetzger . Anyways I just wanted to write that so more prayers could be sent their way. I better get back to work! Talk to you soon!!! Hope everything is going ok in Roch and at home!!! LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!

Love

I saw Sam in line for Kindergarten the other day. He looked very happy and said he had a wonderful time. I asked him what his favorite thing was and he beamed and said "MIckey Mouse." He also informed me that Carl would be home in 5 days. We are so glad things are going well. We will be excited to hear about Carl's scans and how good they are going to look.
Stay warm, and we are praying for the big one.

I said..oh of course...all Robinsons are. Ok I didn't say it...but I thought it. I hope everything is going well in Rochester. I am praying that the chemo is holding off and reducing the cancer and that you will be able to beat this thing. It was great to see you all this weekend. Hopefully when I get home next time I will get to see you again. Good luck with everything...and good luck Syd with your band concert!!!!

Good Morning, I woke up to these little noises going on this morning & couldn't figure out where it was coming from, all of a sudden I looked up & saw 2 little birds on the window sill. They were so cute (& smart, the temp. is 16,wind chill 4, hey, I'd be looking for a warm window too ), so I started my day with a smile. Wishing you a SMILEY DAY!!!!

Hey guys! Hope everything is going well down in Roch as well as at home. I just got home from trying to start training my little dairy heifer for Agarama. It just reminded me of this summer training "Bear". She is a stubborn little thing and I have picked out a good name for her, about like the one that we all named Syd's steer this summer (not "Bear" the other one hahaha). ;)
Things up here in Crookston are good. Jen's new job is also going well, and I think she gets to go out on another farm visit tomorrow. I spose I better go get cleaned up and get crackin on some homework. Love you guys!!

Kelly and Carl,
How nice to see your new pictures and find out how much fun you had in Florida as one big happy family!!
We are praying in earnest for you, Carl, to have successful treatments and to have your body get rid of all those mean old NB cells in your little body.
Well, Carl, be sure to wear a real warm cap to keep your head warm in this Minnesota winter weather. I am sorry that your hair is disappearing again, but like your Mom said, prayerfully, and with one of God's miracles, the NB cells are disappearing, too.
Kaden says to tell you hello and to keep your chin up during these painful days. He prays for your every night and it is so cute to listen to him pray for all of his family and friends. He loves to talk to Jesus and I bet you do do, too.
My computer monitor blew up last week and today I got a new monitor screen and Windows XP to install. Well, the new update would not install so off to the PC Doctor tomorrow and I will be without a computer for 4-5 days.
I will pray in earnest for you, Carl, to get well very soooon! I will try to get my emails from my daughters computer if I can. I really, really do wait each day for your journal entry, Kelly.
Live in me, Lord, that I may live for you!!
John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches."

Hi Kelly&Carl~

Sounds like you had a wonderful time in Florida. Praying that your tests go good today. Dr. Anderson is a great guy. I hope chemo goes smoothly and you can enjoy the rest of your day. So glad you go into the Donald house. It sure is a home away from home. If you get a chance ask Helen to see the picture I sent and then you can see what I actually look like so you can put a name to the emails. My prayers are with you.

Hi Kelly & Carl, Hope you have a good day!!!! So happy to read that you got into the "Donald House" & are in a new room,that must be soooo nice. Hope the internet in the room gets straightened out very soon, the world is waiting to hear more:):):):), plus it would give Mommy something to do when you're a snoozy guy & relax & catch up on things before you get home.
Hi Tom,Bryan,Sydney & Sam,how are all of you doing? Going back to school will be more fun with all the stories to tell from your family vacation.

So glad you are at the 'Donald House. What a blessing that place has been for you and so many others. It always seems that when you got to stay there and be surrounded by a support system, things go more smoothly. Take care and even though it is cold, there is good news. It is Girl Scout cookie time, and there are new ones! I got my first call this a.m. Too bad we are on these dang diets that say "NO COOKIES". Take care and remember we all love you and are praying for the big one.

Welcome Home! Glad to hear you had a great vacation...how terrific to get away for awhile and enjoy each other (as well as Shrek and the rest of the gang down there...hee hee). It was nice to see you all in church this morning, however it would have been nice to stand outside and visit for awhile instead of running to our vehicles to get out of this deep freeze we have going on in MN. Your new picturs on the web site are GREAT!!! Everyone looks just super! Kelly and Carl, good luck this week in Rochester...and yes, God does perform the "big ones" too...we are praying right along side you all. Take care and God bless.

Lewisville, NC - Sunday, January 18, 2004 1:52 PM CST

Sorry I missed you yesterday. I was going to ask you to wait to pick up Pika until Sunday so I could see your happy tanned smiles personally and hear a little of the magic. I am so excited to hear all the stories. The pictures say a million words and the smiles just radiate joy from the entire family. It truly is a magical place where you can forget about your cares for a while. I am so glad Carl finally met Shrek in person. What a wonderful memory!
Pika was a wonderful guest. She came to school on Friday afternoon and once she warmed up, really enjoyed visiting with the class. She chased Alec around the room and got a little excited and piddled on the floor. The kids were just waiting for that. She loved playing in Lucky's water dish and chewing on big bones. She was a pretty good watch dog at times too. One time when I had her outside for a potty break, Pam Galstad was walking past. Pika barked and barked and barked. Maybe she thought we were in danger. Pam is pretty scary, you know. She loved snuggling up in bed with anyone who would take her at night. She usually started out with me and was transfered into Annie's room. She would try jump up onto the couch and was successful a few times. I hope she doesn't have brain damage from flying into the side of it. We enjoyed her. We laughed and laughed and laughed at her antics. Lucky is pretty lonely already without her, but, resting peacefully without the little terd. Thank you for sharing her.
We will join you Kelly in praying for the big one. Doesn't hurt to ask. If He could turn water into wine, he can get rid of cancer! We pray that you have a good week in Rochester. Keep that wonderful positive spirit that you are so famous for. Good things come to those who wait.
Take care. We love you. We are so happy you had a wonderful trip. Like we doubted it....
Love,

Jenny <fbloedow@mchsi.com>

You all will have the time of your lives at Disney!
I'm so excited for you!!I can't wait to hear all about it and see photos when you return! It will do you all a world of good!
I'm sorry I haven't been in touch lately, but sadly we have been out of town for a family funeral that was very unexpected. Then, when we returned home we were having computer connection problems, so I have fallen behind with computer stuff. (but never with prayers..those are always continued of course!)
But now I have had the chance to catch up and am so glad to hear you are in Florida! Have a WONDERFUL time!

We love you!

Hello everyone. I hope that you all have a wonderful time on your trip, I'm sure that you will come back with many fun stories to share with all of us. I just read an email from Brian Buysse. He is sort of a friend of a friend (if any of you Robinsons remember our friend Teresa Zeug from Milroy...thats how we met him). He is from the Tracy area, and I believe he is about Jen's age (so very young). Brian has been fighting cancer too, and could really use all of our prayers right now as he has recieved some not so good news, and has had an extremely tough decision to make.
Hope that you guys have a safe trip. Everyone please remember Brian and his family in your prayers! Love you

Hi. It sounds like Carl is doing really well. He sounds just like my little brother who happens to be close to the same age as Carl. My brother is in surgery this morning to have his tonsils and adnoids removed so please be praying for him. I hope that you guys have fun at Disney! I'm continually praying for you and I'm also doing a lot of fundraisers for the American Cancer Society. I will send you a few of my articles about that in the package with Carl's birthday gift. I hope that you have a good day!

Hey Robinsons! Enjoy DisneyWorld. One tip, do not sit right in front of Cinderella's castle for the evening fireworks - you wouldn't get to see them very well...we learned from experience. Also, if you are staying right on DisneyWorld properties, be sure the kids leave a couple of stuffed animals sitting out on their bed in the morning. A Bug's Life, Honey I Shrunk the Audience, and Muppets 3-D are not to be missed. There are so many wonderful things to do there that it is so hard to decide what to do. Tom, I expect you to go on the Rocking Roller Coaster. Aerosmith and 0-60 in 30 seconds can't be beat! Thinking of all of you.

Hi Guys!!!! You're welcome for the peom, the other one is interesting too.
When I read about Carl's bit of mischief, I had to smile, glad you did too Kelly (Not sure I should ask how Tom reacted:):):):)) but then I thought, it's easy for me to smile, it's not my wall :):):):) Glad he's feeling well, hope the tummy stuff stops bothering him very soon. We haven't seen Cheaper by the Dozen yet but I was wondering, was there anything like that in the movie????
You said how the little guys don't know what's in store for them, WELL, there will be times when I would love to see the look on the faces of you 4 "BIG KIDS"~ get the cameras ready !!!!
I wanted to Thank Robyn & Kevin for sharing their website & adding the Heart on Hand & photos of Carl, they are awesome!!!!
Well, time to say Goodnight. Take Care.

Hello everyone!! I just wanted to say thank you too all of you for coming out for my birthday on Sunday. I had a lot of fun. Also for not minding Jen and I stopping out the night before. Our friends had read Carl's website before and wanted to meet him. I think Dustin is also glad that he made two new little friends, and I'm sure that he will be back to play with them some more sometime. He just kept saying what cuties they are. I'm glad that Carl is feeling good, and being his normal self running around. I hope that you guys have fun in Florida!!!! Thanks for my birthday! Love you guys!!!!

Hello Robinsons--

It was so good to see you Kelly--Carl--and Sydney last week. It had been too long. We are so excited for your trip. It will be so much fun. I can't imagaine the boys excitement when they realize how much fun they'll have!!

Carl,
Kaden wants to know what color you painted the bathroom walls? I suppose it was bright orange--your favorite color, huh? I laughed just thinking about how proud you must have been of the picture or writing and how (not proud) your Daddy must have been. Oh, well, I bet he knows that paint will cover it right up when you get back from Disney!!!
I am glad your leg and cheek pain are better and sure do pray that you get rid of the dreaded "D" before boarding the plane.
To all of you Robinson's we pray that you have safe travels, a marvelous time, and that Carl endures the trip without any illnesses while so far away from your Drs.

Look to the Son and see the Father!
John 1:18 "No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made Him known."

We love you very much. Thanks Kelly for sharing the heart wrenching poems that are also very beautiful.

Love in Christ

Carl,
What a beautiful story about you and your great family in the newspaper. You certainly deserve to be the Person of the Year in all of our hearts.
Carl, I bet you are so very excited to be able to go to Disney World on Friday with your family aren't you? We pray that you will have a wonderful, memory filled time and that your little legs will feel strong and pain free while you are gone. I know that Mommy and Daddy will have your medicine along though to give you relief if you put on too many miles on them!! Are you and Sam already packed and waiting for the trip to the airport? Won't it be fun to sit beside each other on the airplane? I suppose you three boys will sit in one row and Sydney will have to sit with Mom and Dad won't she?
Kaden was here on New Years Eve and New Years Day and we talked a lot about your new treatments coming up in Philly. And now after my PACKERS won today they will play the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday in the second playoff game!! Will you pray for us to win??? I knew you would, you little darling.
I haven't written a note each day but I pray for you each time I go to the fridge and see your little hand and prayer there.
Have a good week. We love all of you very much.

Dear Kelly:

Try not to worry too much about your sweet little Carl! I know that is next to impossible, but maybe his tummy and leg is hurting from the chemo. Or maybe it is just a regular kid thing. When my daughter was his age, she often awakened with various aches and pains.

Take that little cutie to Florida and have a wonderful time! None of us knows the future, and not one of us have the guarantee of tomorrow. A year from now Carl could be in complete remission, digging up your yard, and eating you out of house and home. (:

Always praying for precious Carl and sending my love,
Becky

WB, MA USA - Friday, January 2, 2004 5:57 PM CST

Carl,
I am thrilled that you get to go to Disney World. Make a Wish provided Morgan with a trip back in June and it was absolutely terrific. Kelly, I promise you that you will LOVE the experience and for a few days you will be able to put cancer in the back of your mind. Remember, it is the happiest place on earth. When we went, Morgan had just had scans and a mysterious enlarged lymph node had shown up around her liver. We were told that we would need to repeat scans after we returned home. I thought that this would be a burden to me the entire time we were gone. While I know that this is not quite the same thing your family is experiencing, I do know that it did not even cross my mind again until the morning I woke up in my own bed after the trip was over. I will pray for the Lord to bless you with the comfort you need to have a spectacular time while on this trip. I promise that you will create memories of a lifetime. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to call on me. You are never far from my thoughts and are always in my prayers.
God bless.

Happy New Year to all. Try to put all the bad stuff out of your minds while you are at Disney and just enjoy being there as a family and how much fun the kids have. I'm sure glad Carl is still feeling good. He and Sam will have so much fun together. It will probably be tough on Carl when Sam has to go back to school. I think he must have more stamina than I do if he can spend all that time swimming and playing all week and still do treatments. That impresses me so much. You will all continue to be in my prayers and heart. Bless you all!

Hi Carl, that sounds like an awesome Birthday cake you had, if I ever had a cake like that, I'd be showing everyone too.Sounds like everyone had a good time. Hope you are feeling well after your treatment today. Sending Big Hugs.

I am glad you had such a wonderful birthday party. Don't let Sydney get too prunie. You guys have fun swimming.
Pika was a good puppy at our house. She did not have one accident (that we know of). She visited lots of people and made many people smile. We enjoyed watching her play with our big dog Lucky and our kitty, Sophie. I think they both think she is a squeaky toy. They enjoy her and we enjoy watching them play. I am sure Pika slept good when she got home.
I am glad your treatment is going well and that Auntie Janet is there to help Mom ride herd. You are one lucky little boy to have such a wonderful big family.
We will pray that your treatments continue to go smoothly and that everyone has fun in the pool.
Love you, You big 4 year old,

Christmas afternoon, we went to Freddy & Patti's & had a great time. Hey Carl,we saw Pop & he was soooo happy to hear you got your shirt & put it right on. It sounds like you all had a very happy start to Christmas morning, I'm sure the rest of the day was very exciting.
Have a safe & relaxing trip to Rochester. Have an awesome Birthday Party Carl,with the families & cousins & your "BIG ORANGE CAKE"!!!!You're going to be 4 years old....as you know, my favorite number:):):):)

After a long bout of computer problems at home I am finally up and running again and have gotten a chance to update myself on all of our special kids' websites. I'm speechless (and that's tough to do) about Carl's relapse. Tom and Kelly, I'm so sorry. It's been a rough day for me of learning about relapses in kids we know and even a couple of deaths. I HATE this disease. Know that you are in our prayers and I will pray fervently for Carl's cure. May you have a blessed Christmas knowing that Jesus is at the center of your family and that many others are supporting you in prayer.

In Christ,

Kelly and Tom,

We are continueouly praying for Carl's healing!
Wanted to share some inspirational thoughts with you that
offer hope during discouraging times.

How might God heal?

-THROUGH MEDICAL CARE-
LUKE 10:34..the samaritan soothed his wounds with medicine and bandanged them..

-THROUGH MIRACLES-
MARK 3:5..Then he said to the man, "Reach out your hand". The man reached out his hand, and it became normal again!
LUKE 5:12-13.."Lord, he said, "if you want to, you can make me well again."
Jesus reached out and touched the man. "I want to," he said. "Be healed!"...

-THROUGH THE FAITH OF FRIENDS-
MARK 2:1-5 They couldn't get to Jesus through the crowd, so they dug through the clay roof above his head...Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man,"My son, your sins are forgiven. Stand up and go home for you are healed."

-THROUGH PRAYER-
PSALM 6:2..Heal me, Lord, for my body is in agony.
JAMES 5:13-16..Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them..

-THROUGH TIME AND THE DISCIPLINE OF OBEYING GOD'S COMMANDMENTS-
PSALM 119:93 I will never forget your commandments, for you have used them to restore my joy and health.

-BY DEATH CHRIST BROUGHT US LIFE. THOUGH WOUNDEDNESS HE BROUGHT US HEALING. BY ACCEPTING OUR PUNISHMENT, HE SET US FREE.
1 PETER 2:24 He personally carried away our sins in his own body on the cross so we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. You have been healed by his wounds!

Just wanted to share with you some inspirational thoughts that always help me.
Keep up that HOPE and FAITH always!

God is with Carl! And with you too!

All Our Love,
The Hammer's

Dear Carl,
Yesterday I had to go to the doctor. I have met one of the nicest doctors in the whole world. His name is Dr. Dhami. I had to get blood drawn. I am a big baby when it comes to needles. But I said to myself, "Self, think about how many needles Carl has seen. If he can be brave, so can you." I did okay. Thank you for setting a good example for me, Carl. I would have liked to have had your mom or dad telling me everything was going to be okay there. I am going to call you because they are going to do a test where they stick a tube down my nose into my tummy. I am sure you have had that one done too. You need to tell me about that one. I am a little nervous, but, if Carl can do it, I can too.
How is Pika doing? We are looking forward to having her come and visit us again one of these days. You just call me up when you need a doggie sitter. We will love her up good. Lucky misses her too.
Remember to be good. Just a couple more days until Santa comes.

Love,

Jenny <fbloedow@mchsi.com>

Happy Holidays to all of the Robinson's...I was so very happy to check your site and see that Carl was feeling better again. Tom and Kelly, thank you so much for taking some of your precious time and attending the wake for Amy Nesburg's Mom. That was so wonderful of you. Tim and Amy were so happy to see you. I am so sorry we missed you. We got there just after your had left. We were Blessed to visit with Janet for a few moments there that night. Our prayers for you this Christmas Season will be for God to touch all of the Doctors, Nurses, Technicians, etc. to guide their precious hands and bring total healing to Carl once again, that there will be a cure for this beast very, very soon and that no family will every have to endure what you parents are going through. We pray for Carl's health each day. We stopped in to see Aunt Phyllis yesterday after Janet Steffel's funeral. It was so good to see her and she looked so good. We were also so happy to see Uncle George. It has been so long since we had seen him. He too looks good. We wish all of the "Robinson" family a Most Blessed Christmas and a Very Happy New Year. May God grant all of your wishes. Our love to you all!

Long Prairie, MN USA - Friday, December 19, 2003 2:38 PM CST

Carl and Company,
We pray that this Advent season has been a special time of preparation for our baby Jesus' birth.
Carl, you have the roughest pre-school assignment of all don't you? It is hard to get well when your medicine keeps making you sick isn't it? I bet it seems hard to figure it all out at times, huh? You are such a blessing and God will only give to you as much as a darling boy can handle each day and the rest is ALL ABOUT LOVE for you.
Kaden has had sinus infection, influenza, and a bad cough for a week now and guess what? NaNa stayed with him three days and now--NaNa has it all!! (Some things we don't like to share and sickness is one of them, right?) We are on the mend now and hope to be well for "The Night Before Christ".
So Carl, now you get to travel to another big city and check out the DRS there. You are just a regular frequent flyer aren't you?
What do you and Sam want from Santa? It certainly won't be a question of whether or not you are on the nice list as that is a given for two great brothers like you are.
We will pray in earnest for good health, happiness, and God's miracle of healing for you, Carl, and for your whole family circle. We know you have one of the most loving, caring extended families in all the world and an awesome Mom, Dad, sister, and 2 brothers!! God is good.
Have a good week-end. We are going to Fargo, ND to join friends for a Harley Davidson Christmas party. Pray for our safe travels.
No headling news. No TV interuption. But God's salvation has been broadcast throughout the world!
Luke 2:30-31 "For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people."
Father God, bless all of your peoples this joyous season. Especially we pray for the troops all around the world fighting to keep our great Christian country free.
Love in Christ

Dear Kelly and family,
My heart just aches for you. I wish there was something we could do to take the worry away, but, I know that all we can do is pray for your strength to get through this difficult time.
I am so happy that Carl is feeling good, except for his cold inners. He needs some hot chocolate! I am sure he is very excited for the holiday season. You enjoy him when he is little and still believes in Santa. When he is a teenager he will not be so much fun at this time of the year! I am sure Bryan is the exception to the rule, though.
Take care and scream if you need ANYTHING!

Dear Kelly,
I know how difficult must be for you and your family still going through treatment such a long time. Sometimes we forget about everything we went through like you are now but we want to let you know that although we are very far away our hearts are with you. We think and pray for Carl and we are sure it won�t be his last holidays with his family. Please don�t think about it.

Jorge had his check up last week and the results were good. You can imagine how happy we feel.

We wish you Merry Christmas and a very healthy next year.

Big hug from Spain.

I would imagine he'd be cold if his hemoglobin is low...T
There is no good time to be going through this. No fair time, nor right time. We are all praying for you guys, there are way too many families on Caringbridge going through a tormented holiday this year. Its insane and unfair and its worse now because you must think the rest of the world doesnt even take notice of what you are going through, they are so caught up in the holidays festivities..

Hi!No School today, YIPPEEEE!!!! Hope you were able to go out & have some fun in the snow.Sounds like you had a fun weekend & with this added snow, maybe get to try sledding again soon. Sounds like you're feeling good Carl, today was a good day to snuggle up with Pika. How is she doing? Did she get much bigger yet? Could you give Mommy & Daddy a Big Hug for us. ((((Bryan,Sydney,Sam & Carl))))Miss you all. Take care.

Just dropping by to say Hello to all of the Robinson family and it is good to hear that Carl is feeling so good. Please know that our hearts, Prayers and thoughts are with you all the time and especially this time of the year as we await the celebration of the birth of Jesus. What Joy Shall Fill the Air. It sounds as though you really got dumped on as far as the snow storm. We only had about 3" here in Central MN. It is pretty and perhaps the new fallen snow will help put an end to the flu bug that is going around. I just wanted to also let you know that Amy Nesburg (TIM's wife) lost her Mother to Cancer on Sunday night, December 14th. Please keep Tim and Amy, Brady, Mackenzie and Beau and all of Amy's family in your prayers at this time. Thank you one and all.

Tom,Kelly and carl and family,
Hi Kelly this is sherry wood (Schintz). I don't know if you where told but I just went though chemo myself for hodgkins lymphoma and I am in remission now I was at stage 4. But what I want to say that this kid has got to be the strongest kid because that chemo can kick your butt. You keep your chin up carl no matter what comes your way, You all stay positive and it will all work out No matter what is delt to you. Praying for you all every day.:-) Sherry

Hey Carl,

So glad you got my phone call, I do tend to ramble when I chat with my friends so I had to call back so Farmer Pickles could have his chance. I hope you are doing well, buddy. Have a great Christmas. My brother is coming to Bobville for a visit this year! I can't wait. I will check in with you soon!! Take care!
