Hello Julie-
I look so forward to your updates. It seems funny that we live in the same town and yet we hardly see eachother to catch up on life. I think about you and Rob quite often. I also keep updated on you through Jennifer and Megan. I am always quizzing them on how things are going with you. They are such sweet girls. I hope that you realize what a difference you make in so many lives. Your positive attitude helps the rest of us keep our trials and tribulations in check. Thank you for that. Our children are the most precious gifts that God gives us, no matter the time frame we get to keep them. We love and cherish the times we have with them. You have taught me so much about life, and I know that what will be, will be!!!!
God Bless!!

I would love to come up and just give you a big hug, but don't want to make a mushy scene!! LOL!! Just know when I smile and wave that my love comes with it.

Julie & Rob: We so enjoyed reading the "Hugs of Hope" article in the Dec. 25 KC Star and of Santa's return to Cameron to help light Spencer's tree in his memory. What a special gift from a very busy and special Santa. And as I believe you said, you got to participate in some of his work this year, that too is very special.
May God Bless you both with a year of great memories and a year of making more memories as you continue on this journey. Love, Karen & Doc

Just wanted to say hi to you all and wish you a good 2006. Thankyou for visiting Mar Mar's page. My daughter Sam is so busy at the moment with Marcel's new baby sister Tiana, and also I wanted to let you know that we are having trouble this end with the caringbridge page on Marcel's site it's gone all over the place and Sam is having trouble updating etc. Well bye for now we always remember you in our prayers, and thankyou to you for the support that you've given my daughter Sam over the past months.

Julie and Rob: I love all the pictures of Spencer, but the one on the main page, the one that was in the KC Star, is my all time favorite I believe. Last year's picture card of Spencer is in the center of all my new pictures and family has asked if you sent it this year, no, I just wanted it to remain up as a great reminder of Spencer. The snowman globe on his grave is aborable.
Have a great day tomorrow with your family at your home. Prayers and Love, Karen & Doc

I am sooooo sorry that we missed the tree lighting. Ella and I were both fighting a little bug. Mine was short lived, just a 24 hour thing, but Ella is still not feeling great. Zoe was so disappointed that we weren't able to get there - actually, she was down right mad!! I told her we would be able to see it when we drove by but she was mad because "we will drive by in the day and it won't be lit up." We are coming to Osborn Friday evening for Christmas so I told her we would get to see it then and she was mildly appeased. She has been talking a lot about Spencer lately and how he is playing with her dog Dante in heaven and she was really looking forward to seeing the lighting.
Glad to hear you are feeling better - make sure you take care of yourself and don't try to go full guns and get sick again.
Have been thinking of you lots through these holidays and will keep you in our prayers for a peaceful season.
Merry Christmas.

Have you heard this song? Our son died 8 years ago. He had a medulloblastoma(a different kind of malignant brain tumor). We know how your heart is aching. We have followed your website and admire how you are handling Spencer's death. Our Michael fought too hard to live and now we must honor him by going on with our lives. You are honoring Spencer's life.

Lyrics for Song: Who You'd Be Today
Lyrics for Album: The Road and the Radio
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
See your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe your gone
(Chorus:)
It ain't fair you died to young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today
Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Someday's the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy
(Chorus)
Today [3x]
Today [3x]
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know, I'll see you again someday
Someday, someday

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 that tear,
For I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music don’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 be glad I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift,
From the heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory,
Of my undying love.
After all “Love” is a gift,
More precious than pure gold,
It was always most important,
In the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
As my heavenly father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessings of love,
He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas,
And wipe away that tear,
Remember, I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.

With each day I continue to remember Spencer and our memories. Yesterday, I was reading a book to Abby and then remember that I gave Spencer one just like it. We enjoyed Abby for a couple of days. I'll bring pictures to school on Monday. Rest up from your St. Louis trip because we are about to start another school week! P.S. Tony is watch the Chiefs and I'm sure you are too. With love, Sue

Dear Julie,
As you know I am old enough to be your mom. Our wisdom comes from life's experiences and our reactions to those experiences. As I think about you this evening, I am reflecting back to over thirty years ago. Grief taught me that life is for the living because we cannot move forward to our own lives in eternity. God has blessed us with His strength and our free will. Then you may ask yoursefl, "What is life, because if this is life i don't want it!" However, as we move through the stages of grief we come to a greater awareness of our purpose in life. We must live our lives in such a way as to make our heavenly father pleased. May you find your way, your peace, and your niche. You and Rob are loved my many including our heavenly Father. May you find comfort from peace and hope in the future as you find your way once again. Love,

I have been thinking about you alot lately. I finally took the time to write a little note to you. Spencer touched so many people in so many ways and though it is difficult, we find a way to go on and to smile and laugh again. He was so amazing because you and Rob are so amazing. Sometimes I think you need to hear those kinds of things in order to get through the tough times. We all admire your strength and hope we can learn from that. God Bless you and take care.

Julie, thanks again for coming down to stay with Katie last Friday. It was great to be able to see Luke get his awards. Spencer most definitely taught me to treasure the little things every day because we never know what the next day will bring. The look on Luke's face was priceless when he saw me there. Thanks for making that memory possible for me.

EDMONTON,ALBERTA CANADA, - Sunday, October 30, 2005 8:10 PM CST
This is a quote from the father of another little boy who lost his battle recently. A classmate of Leslie's fought lymphoma and was hospitalized in Omaha and met this little guy and has shared about how much they loved him. They recently posted his caringbridge site and I went to read about their journey. I just thought it was such a great quote and it reminded me so much of Spencer.
"Everyone who wants to honor my hero's passing can do so in one simple act...Live your life with everything you've got. When it feels like you've got nothing left, find some more because that's EXACTLY what he did and that is a perfect memorial. There are so many people who wish they had a second chance and if you don't use yours, it's a disservice to them all."
I know you guys are doing just that and Spencer's short life taught many people to do the same. I often get sidetracked with the day to day things I get caught up in and thinking of Spencer reminds me to focus less on those things and more on my family and the important things. We think of you all often and keep you in our prayers.

It will be interesting to see what the butterflies turn into this fall/winter. There isn't a day goes by that I don't think of something that Spencer said. Thanks so much for the call last night. As you know, a day or two can seem like a week in the hospital. Hopefully we'll be home by Saturday or Sunday.

Hi Julie & Rob: Glad to hear you finished corn and and well into beans before this post of Thursday. Also hope your yield is much better than expected, I believe it is for most folks around here on beans, but not so good on corn. I'm happy for you that the butterfly buddy spent the day with you in the field. Keep enjoying and appreciating them. You will have to go through another season soon without them, but the return will be that much better. Take care, keep sharing and God Bless. Love, Karen

We think of you guys alot and continue to pray for healing and comfort. What a "warm fuzzy" you must feel, when a butterfly appears at just the right moment. Spencer is definitely watching over Mom and Dad! Julie, it was nice seeing you the other day. Take care.

Julie,
It has been a while and I just wanted to check in on you and see how you were doing. Aren't butterflies wonderful. I truly believe that they are little signs from Spencer saying, "Mom, I'm right here!" And it seems like you see them when you need them the most. Ever since Dad died, I keep running into ladybugs....the day of his funeral when we got home there were about 10,000 of the little guys plastered to the house, in the house, everywhere!
Julie, you are truly an inspiration to everyone. I wish that I could just have half of your energy!!! You and Rob take care of each other!
Sincerely, Carole Sloan

Have been off line all summer due to some complicated circumstances but, as of today, am back on, and your site is the first I came to. Have been praying for you and for your Spencer often, knowing he was on his way to his new Home above.

Hi Julie and Rob. Sorry to hear you were sick. I had that crud early last spring. Hope you are feeling better. Think of guys often I don't sign much but check on you all lots. Heather said pick two and you were on my top list I fell inlove with Spencer the first time I saw his picture. You know I have been seeing lots of butterflies too it makes me smile and think of the angels Gage and Spencer. You have touched me in so many ways I can't even describe it. I now take more time to be with my boys and forget about everything else that needs to be done it is there the next day. Hope harvest goes good it is so dry up here that the wheat just looks awful hopefully we get some rain soon to help it along, yep you guessed it I am a farm wife too! Take care and get feeling better. HUgs and prayers from Nebraska.

I think of you and pray for you soooo often. I am amazed at how strong you are, you are truly an inspiration. Sometimes when I am having a rough day dealing with the stress of our lives, I think of you and how strong you are and it helps me get through another day. I agree with you that things happen for a reason, it is just hard to understand that reason sometimes. If you need anything you can always call me. Spencers headstone is perfect. As soon as I saw it, I thought it was a true reflection of Spencer and his life. Keep going through each day with the wonderful memories of your little man and the rest of us will keep you in our prayers.
Love, The McVicker Family

Thinking of you mom during this first of many anniversaries that you have to remember. I'm praying for you to have strength. Spencer was a beautiful boy that I wish I had gotten the chance to meet in person. He truly was an angel. I'm glad you are able to take the "buddy seat" as I know your husband must be going through his own grief. We DO pray for you. We were glad for Jason today, but still...my thoughts drifted towards you too. My aunt had good results...sounded like Jack is also hanging in there. I hope so much for everyone going through this...the kids...the parents...the family members too, that someday there is a cure.

I am glad to hear that you are doing well, I don't think that anyone's trucks are going to be run too hard this year. Spencer's headstone is a real tribute to a precious little boy. Every night I think about the "night light" and know that he doesn't have to be scared of the dark now. I think of you every day, I still find myself looking at Spencer's tree in the front yard everytime that I drive by. LOVE YOU!!

His headstone is so pretty. I hope school is going well. I know these must be terribly tough days for you, but know that you have many friends praying for you...and people who haven't even met you praying for you! Your son was such a cutey. I especially liked the one with him and his rabbit. I don't really know the right words to say except that I know the love that a mother has for her son and I can't imagine what you're going through and don't even pretend to know. I only hope that each day brings beautiful memories of your son as that is what I would hope for myself if I was going through what you are. I would hope that I could...but if you are sad or mad or half crazy some days...I could only imagine I would be too. My prayers are with you mom.

Jared speaks of Spencer quite a bit, in fact, we were going by Well's Implement the other day on the way to the vet and Jared had to quote Spencer's favorite saying about John Deere tractors. Just out of the blue he said, "John Deere tractors cost too much." Of course we all had a good laugh!! Hope to see you both soon.

Hello Julie and Rob,
We are both teachers and we know that this time of the year is especially tough and after what you have been through this summer and what you are still dealing with, it must be all the more difficult to return to work. These tough first few days and weeks of school will past (they always do) and you will make it through, stay strong!! We are sure Spencer is looking down and thinking his Mommy is the best teacher in the world. Make him proud!!!

Just wanted you to know you are still in my thoughts and prayers each day. I know how hard this is for you. I had a bad week last week, missing our Brooke really bad. Soon it will 9 months since we said our last words here on earth to her. I still feel her presence in our lives daily but there is never a day without almost constant thoughts and longing for her hugs and smile. Hang in there. Everyone says it gets better. I know they are in a better place and I take comfort in the knowledge that we will see them again someday in that better place, never having to shed another tear or say good-bye or see you later again. Peace and prayers! Brooke's Grandma Janet

I just wanted to add my words of sympathy for your loss of Spencer. I heard about him from Scott Connor. As I read your notes from the beginning, I could agonize with you. We lost a 7 year old (twin) daughter 3 years ago, just 1 day before our anniversary. She had taken treatments for 3 years for a brain tumor (2 recurrences). It was so hard to let her go but we couldn't ask her to stay the way she was, which I know you understand. It is so good to go back through pictures of our children when they looked healthy & happy. You will have many milestones this year that will be difficult but remember that you both (& families) have to go through them too so help each other. One thing that helped us was to do something completely different for Christmas, anything, just different. (For us it worked out that we had to go to a sibling's house instead of a parents' house, due to health issues. It was different but we were still with family.) It was interesting to read that all of Spencer's balloons stayed together at the funeral because Nancy's did the same thing! The funeral director had never seen that before. It was so neat! Then there were some small butterflies that stayed around me & a friend at the cemetery right after that so when I see those I have another rememberance of her. I guess what I'm wanting to say is that God can help you through this, you need to help each other, & you can make it through this!

I know you have suffered the most difficult thing in losing Spencer in this life. I pray for your comfort, recovery and joy in your daily life until you join Spencer in that greatest homecoming with Jesus to which we all as believers look forward. May you receive blessings beyond your imaging in this life through Him!

Hi Julie and Rob...Happy Belated Birthday Julie, checked page last week but didn't write because sometimes words just aren't there. I think of you all the time because we know each other's pain and also know the thoughts we have to have to justify their deaths, sad but true. I am so glad the ugly cancer beast can't touch them anymore but we sure do miss our little sweethearts. I hope they are having a blast in heaven pain free meeting lots of new kids and people. I am looking forward to making a Spencer Bear. I finally got the courage to make my Gage bear and I absolutely love to hug and talk to it. I guess it really does help a little, but most of all I cry with it. Hope you have a nice week and school gearing up to be a good year. Hugs from western Nebraska.

You don't know me, but my fiance is a friend of Jason Hill. I've read through Spencer's entire fight tonight...not to mention your fight mom. I have 3 kids of my own, and though all were preemies and I sat those weeks through NICU and seeing my babies with IVs all over, I cannot fathom what you've been through. I used to get angry when people "admired my strength" so I won't give you that speech. Who wants to have that kind of strength? None of us. I am sending prayers to you tonight and I know your sweet boy must be smiling down on us all now. I am so sorry for your loss, and I don't know why these things happen. When you were fighting Spencer's nausea, I thought back to my son's fight with just a bought of the true influenza virus at 2 and thinking how does someone survive weeks of fever and no fluids and that much sickness? It brought back so many times of my own fear and nights of prayer, and when I saw you had been through it for years....I cried at every other day of your entries and wished I had known you sooner, wished each and every mother in the world could have taken just a grain of your burden, helped you in some way, hugged you, driven the miles for you, held your hand. I wished I could have said it's okay to want to run away or say I can't do this anymore because no matter what us mothers face...we have those moments where we want to beg God to do something, and we don't get our prayers answered. I will send up prayers for YOU mom as I do for Jason and Gina and the kids every day. If you're wondering about meaning in all of this, it may be for moms like me....to know that we need to love our children with everything we have, to not let the little things get to us. That's what Jason's fight has taught me, and certainly what your son's fight has also taught me.

Hi Julie & Rob: I know those weekly, monthly then yearly anniversary dates of losing your love bring back a flood of different emotions and memories and you have described them very well. I continue to pray for you all and especially on those days. You all seem to be doing the best you can, keep it up and keep communicating your feelings to each other. God's blessings and peace to you.

Hi Rob and Julie, We are off to Denver for weekend for Kid's Cure for Brent's. We hope you have a good weekend. I hate the baggage too and have done my best to bury it, but it is still there. Gage's birthday is next Tuesday and we are having his classmates out for a picnic. I hope it goes well and I can hold it together for them. It will be a tough day. I can imagine our little sweethearts in heaven running and giggling and free from pain forever. I hope classroom getting lined up well and school brings you something to keep your mind busy with. Hugs from western Nebraska.

Dear Julie,
Thanks for your encouraging words. Life does and must go on but it is different when I think of Spencer. I don't know when I have shed as many tears has I have the past three weeks. Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm determined, and seem times I'm sad. Must be a lot of what life is suppose to be but it took Spencer for me to find my tears. Thinking of you today and always. With love, Sue

Julie-Just stopping by to check on you. Hope the next few weeks aren't too stressful for you with school. Maybe it will be a positive thing, give you something to keep you busy. A friend of mine from high school has a little boy in children's Mercy. Not doing very well, but God is working a miracle each day. Caring Bridge is a wonderful tool for loved ones!! His Aunt is Linda Daniels if you know her. His website is www.caringbridge.org/visit/micahjdaniels if you want to give them some encouraging words. One can never have enough friends. Praying for little rain for you too! I am sure it would help your crops!

Hiya Heather,
Its hard without our Angels but comfort in the knowledge that they are in Gods arms and at peace, playing with balloons and toys and all the other angel children til we join them.
Im sure Spencer is running Mar Mar & Gage round in circles, cant you just imagine them all having a ball.
I had Tiana last week Sat 16th July, it was the 9 month anniversary of Mar's passing the day after the 17th, Tia's born under the cancer star sign (how ironic).
many blessings to you guys, strength & healing to you.
Much love

Dear Julie,
I do believe that the first year, after the loss of someone you hold so dear, is VERY difficult. I can still remember how I marked time with past dates and milestones. I tired so hard to live my life like Jerry would have lived it with me. I pray that your days will be filled with friends and family to remember and comfort you. As you live your life to its fullest, you are honoring Spencer and his tribute to life. God bless you. Love, Sue

Rob & Julie-Just a note to let you know you are not forgotten. Just yesterday I spent almost an hour with Alex and the other daycare children discussing Spencer and death. One never knows what thoughts are in their head to bring it up. I only pray that I answer their questions correctly, you know what I mean?? What is correct? I don't understand why things happen sometimes as an adult, how is a child supposed to understand? You just have to have a strong faith in God. I truly believe what you and Heather both have said about never getting over it. I have never gotten over losing my Mother but you learn to deal with it. Some days are harder than the rest. We all know that in a couple of weeks you are going to have all of the stress you need dealing with school!! LOL!! Stay strong, and enjoy all of the memories. He was such an awesome little guy. Take care

Hi Julie and Rob, stopping by to say Hi. I know how you feel and you expressed it beautifully in your journal. We hope the classroom work is going well and the farming too. I don't know if you ordered headstone yet, but I found one where a child's name on the back in his own handwriting. We are going to do that with Gage's. I also saw a neat idea on DIY where they took a wooden purse you can buy at walmart or hobby store and decoupaged on it. I am sure your sweet Spencer drew you lots of pictures as Gage did for us. I am taking some of his drawings and decoupaging the wooden purse so I can take his memories with me wherever I go. You are so right about the limo and bus, so true. We continue to hold you all in our hearts too as we grieve Gage's loss and truly don't believe any day will get easier, we will just learn to accept and handle just like cancer. I met a lady in a store after Gage's passing who came up to me and said " Are you Heather", gotta love caringbridge...anyway, she told me she lost a child over 40 years ago and as her eyes swelled with tears I just thought, the pain never does leave you. But luckily, we will all be together again one day. Hugs from western Nebraska.

I'm sorry I took so long to post. I have been here and checking on you though. I just can't find the words to tell you how very sorry I am about Spencer it just isn't fair! I've never met any of you but I feel like you are my family and I loved your little guy and I miss him. You're family has given ours so much hope and strength when we didn't know how we would make it through one more test, or one more procedure. We would read your Spencer updates & be ready to keep fighting and hoping and praying. I pray God will ease your pain. I hope you will continue to update us how you all are doing. Love, Prayers and {{{{HUGS}}}}

Hi Julie and Rob, Glad you were able to get away for awhile. I know it is harder than it would seem. You are right about normal...it is amazing how much normal life changes. We think about you all often and hope you are doing the best you can and staying busy...our only safeguards. We hope it rains too, but only at night because during the day all day will probably always remind us of the day Gage passed and it rained and rained all day long. I cry every time it rains but know all the land needs it. The little statue sounds too cute. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but read somewhere in the grieving books to save some flowers from the funeral and dry to make a wreath or swag out of later. Hopefully not to late to tell you, but I researched and pretty much found out cheapest way...hang upside down, I bunched up color coordinated with rubberbands and hung with paperclip from string in shed and to spray down with aerosal hairspray. I eventually made it to Hobby Lobby and got a stickier better spray, but the cheap hairspray works just as well. You are suppose to let the daisies and sunflowers...those types dry right side up...I put in some chicken wire and they are drying nicely. Takes about 6-8 weeks but it will be memories to last a lifetime even if you just gather them up in a bouquet and put a ribbon on...just a thought. I would be happy to get you a bear made. Keep up the good vibes....attitude is everything. Hugs from western Nebraska.

Hello. We do not know each other but I was on Cameron Carey's website then found may way to you through Gage's webiste. Words can't express the sorrow that I have for you and how my heart aches (I have a 3 year old little boy) and it breaks my heart to hear stories such as yours. I know that your son is in a much better place and having the time of his life without the worry of pain but it still doesn't help explain all the why's that we continue to ask. I pray that God's love will carry you through this tough and trying time and just knowe that you will one day see your baby boy again. God Bless

"Angels Among Us" is one of our favorite songs. My son, Cameron, sings it every year at our Relay For Life. I know the playground in Heaven must really be something special. When my son was 3, he said he wanted to stay and play with all the other "little boy and girl angels", but God told him it wasn't his turn and a "really nice" angel brought him back to his hospital bed. I sure wasn't ready for him to stay and play with the other angels and every day I thank God for one more day with my son. Cameron is in remission now, so I can't say that I know how you feel, but maybe you can feel some comfort in knowing that little kids really do like it there. Spencer is pain free, but your pain is just beginning... Please know that there are lots of prayers being said for you and your husband. Julie, you are amazing. Thanks for keeping the world up to date on Spencers journey. We all draw strength from your words of courage.
Happy Birthday Spencer. Butterfly kisses and angel hugs...

You are such strong people, we have no doubt that this journey is now complete and it has made you grow in so many ways. We never know why these things happen, but can only see that there is a reason and we are not supposed to under stand it. Spencer touched so many people's lives in his short time on this earth, including ours. He is a child of God. We only hope that we can be there with him some day. He is now watching over all of us and I am sure that wonderful smile of his has not left his face since he reached heaven. There will be difficult times ahead, but you are amazing people and you will make it, just like you have so far. You are an inspiration to us all. Take care and if you need anything or just want to talk, feel free to call!

What a wonderful tribute to a wise and wonderful little boy who taught us all so much. Spencer's lessons and his memories will live on with us all. Happy Birthday tomorrow Spencer! I remember that morning - 6 years ago - when you called me Julie, to tell me you were the parents of a baby boy. I remember hesitating for a few seconds because you weren't supposed to be making that call for two months. Spencer was a miracle from the very beginning and has been an inspiration always. He taught us all so many important lessons in his short time here and we thank you for sharing him with all of us.

Dear Julie,
Yes, only a few days have passed and we have celebrated Spencer's life and death. Death is a celebration because it brings us much loser to God. In God's kingdom there is no sin, sickness, or sadness. It is filled with the love of Jesus. Spencer is enjoying eternity with our Savior. Thank you for loving him during his earthly life and always. Love, Sue

You guys lean on each other and the Lord. Love, The Bohannon's

God bless you spencer (and spence's parents). It has been said that the light that burns half as long, burns twice as bright. Just seeing your pic on the front page, seeing the light in your eyes, tells me you cast your brilliant radiance upon all who surrounded you. Your light continues to shine, blazing a trail across the heavens, angels swimming in your glimmering wake. Look in on us from time to time, when you're not busy making God smile.

Your family has walked through the fire of living in an unperfect world. Now, Spencer is enjoying God's treasures in heaven.

Dear family, we continue to pray for you and for all that lies ahead. This weekend our family is hosting an Alex lemonade stand for pediatric cancer research and we've been so busy in all the preparing and all the details and have been getting a little frustrated in all our "busy-ness." I took time out to come and check on Spencer. After reading, I've shed many tears tonight for all of you and I'm so reminded of the need to keep fighting, to keep hoping that no other children will ever have to endure what Spencer and many others have had to. I'm incredibly humbled by how reading your entry tonight can bring me to my knees, break my heart, and encourage me to spend my time here wisely, doing all I can to make a difference. Spencer's too short life has made a difference. We will add him to the children we want to tribute our stand to and who inspire us to find new hope,new treatments and to be better people. What a sweet angel Spencer must be!
love and hope to you!

To those I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, Let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while for if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart,
I won't be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near
And if you listen wih your heart, you'll
Hear all of my love around you soft and clear
And when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say,
"Welcome Home"

You have given us such good advice and have been such an inspiration to our family during Nathan's treatment. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Love, The Hultquists

Heartwell, NE - Thursday, July 7, 2005 10:15 PM CDT
I don't have the words to say. "I'm sorry" doesn't do Spencer justice. "Our condolenscences" or "sympathy" only reflects on the hardships that your family endured. "Our hearts go out to you" is incorrect because they have always been here for you. Know that we open our ears and homes and lives to you. Don't lose faith in our Father. We often wonder why He hands out such "things". Please keep him as your foundation through it all. Spencer was a rare man. He certainly brought the community of Cameron together. Who knew that someone at such a young age could do such a phenomenal thing. One thing I have learned, we imitate our parents in many ways. Spencer is a reflection of his parents. May God blessyou with your endeavors and celebrate Spencer's courageous life.

Hello Mattson's: Our family kept us up on you while we were gone to OK for a family reunion, you continue to be in our every prayer. We didn't even have cell phone access at the river resort we were at, but I would drive into town and sit at store to check my messages. Late last night I got questioned by a police woman on my activities!!
We love you, Karen & Doc

Just checking in to say I have been praying for your comfort and God's mercy. So many things we don't understand in this life, and times like this that make us feel so helpless. Psalms 23, it such a comfort to me, and I hope it is to you all as well.

Checking in on you often and saying lots of prayers. You are such a strong family.
I'm so sad...I'm sad there isn't a cure for cancer... I'm sad you have to go through this. This just isn't how it's suppose to be.
Spencer, I wish we could have met. I adore you and your mother... You are such a strong family. I wish you were cancer free, we don't want you to suffer anymore and are still praying for a miracle.
Wishing you peace on Independence Day. We love you ~

Hi Julie, thinking of you all. Hoping Spencer is painfree and soon forever. I know how hard it is to wait and actually have to pray for him to be free. I think it helped Gage by telling him not to be afraid. He couldn't talk back, but that was one of the last things I said to him, don't be afraid honey, it is okay, we will all be okay. I miss him so bad, but I know he is free from the horrible cancer pain and never, ever has to worry about the pokes and pains. I know he is waiting with open arms for a two armed hug for Spencer. I am sure they will be great buddies, laughing, running and have kid fun. You continue to be in my mind and heart all day. Hang in there. Hugs from western Nebraska.

Julie and Rob,
WOW--2 bowls of oatmeal? Go Spencer! Keep it up, buddy.
At this time of year, we celebrate the bravery of people that have fought for our country and the freedom that we have.
I would also like to include you and Spencer in this celebration. You have fought an unbelievable battle with courage and strength. May you enjoy July 4th and may it be an "Independence Day" in more ways than one. Independence from heartache and independence from pain and suffering. May it be a day of peace for you and Spencer.
Spencer, enjoy those fireworks...eat some watermelon and some strawberry fluff. I think that each time I see watermelon and strawberry fluff, I will think of you for such a long time.
My prayer for you today, Spencer, is a full tummy of whatever your heart desires. And my prayer for you, Julie and Rob, is another day of quiet and peace...smiles and daily milestones. As always, my heartfelt prayer is for a miracle, whatever God choses that miracle to be.
Love in Christ

I am glad that he is doing well considering and hope he stays pain free. I hope you all get to enjoy a little fireworks this weekend too. A day doesn't go by that I don't feel like I have been punched in the gut and my heart feels like it has been ripped out, but the moments are getting less and as long as I keep reminding myself the other option was drugged up pain relief, I do okay. I hope and pray for a safe passage for sweet Spencer, a miracle cure would be better.

I just wanted to pick him up and hold him so tight, but I think he might have been a little upset with me if I did. (ha ha) He is such an amazing little guy and you know he gets all of that from you and Rob. I am being selfish, but seeing you and talking to you last night helped put me at ease. I have really been concerned about you and now I saw for myself that you are o.k. and I am so proud of you for getting through it one day at a time. Thank you for letting me be a part of your life and I feel blessed to say that I know that wonderful little boy. You are always in my prayers. We love you!

Dear Julie and family,
We have known about and been following Spencer's progress for a very long time, first from your Mom, who is a long time friend of ours. Robin was in the same ALOT class with Keith. Now with updates on Spencer's website, I think about him often, and pray for strength and peace for all of your family. He's lucky to have Grandma Robin close to give him special love. Sandy

Julie and Spencer, My heart is with yours...I read your post on PED-ONC and I am so sorry. Spencer, You have fought so hard, you are truly a miracle and Julie, who could ever ask for a better Mom. Your whole family is beautiful. If you ever need to talk, email me. I used to be on Ped-Onc. Jake , My son had ALL, the good kind, he went to heaven with the angels on 2-9-02. We miss him so much. We know he watches over us and does his best to take care of us the best he can. Some day we will ALL be together. Tell Spencer that after he says HI to his grandparents, to look around and he will probably find Jake. Jake always looked after the little ones here on earth, I am sure he is still doing that in heaven. He is really funny and always makes you laugh, he will crack Spencer up and make him laugh, of that I am sure. Give your boy a big kiss from me. I will miss him too.

Dearest Julie, Spencer, and Rob,
Rob it's good to hear that your birthday was enjoyed by all. Spencer I'm pleased that you were able to celebrate with your dad. Julie it sounds like you did a great job with a celebration for Rob and and keeping Spencer going this weekend.
I read Gage's webpage last week and I thought it really reflected their love and faith in Jesus. I'm sure that that he is experencing the beauty of eternity on the other side of "the rainbow".
Take care and I will see you tomorrow at school.
Closing with love and prayers,
Sue

Two very special boys I have been praying for have very special courages and unselfish parents. How very lucky Spencer and Gage are to have such wonderful, caring parents. It is our belief that there truely is a life without suffering and pain, a world of total beauty and life everlasting - much better than the world we live in at present. If a miracle can happen it will happen without all that nasty medicine just as well as with it.
You are in my thoughts everyday and my prayers everynight.
Spencer has touched my heart in a big way. When I first seen his picture on this site I thought his looks sort of looked like my oldest son who is 11 and I have continued checking up on him daily.
I will continue praying for Spencer and all those who love him.
God Bless all of you.

Spencer sorry to hear that your first day of radiation was a bummer. I hope they let you pick a special treat out of the treasure chest. St. Judes let Jill pick out something every Friday during radiation. The treats were better trinkets than in the regular treasure chest. Anything to brighter her spirits.
Hang in there. Brighter days are headed your way. God Bless your entire family.

Hi Spencer and family, You pop into my brain all day and I say lots of little prayers for you all. I hope the brain tumor board are able to come up with a good plan tomorrow. If you need any second opinions I know Dr. Foreman in Denver is suppose to be one of the best in the Nation and people from all over the US are coming to him fo their brain tumors. The therapy they are trying on Gage is high dose with Oxaliplatin on the first day with Thiotepa and then Thiotepa the next 2 days with Stem Transplant the following Friday. We are crossing our fingers and praying that it works and only time will tell, but maybe you can ask about these drugs and see what they say. I know we were told before that we couldn't use a chemo we already used as the cancer grows immune to it and it doesn't work the second go round. We are praying for a positive outcome for little Spencer. Gage is pretty much a couch potatoe too because his left leg hurts and his behind if he walks. Lets all pray for a cure for CPC!!!! You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Keep up the fight Spencer!

I attend the Methodist Church and have never had the pleasure of meeting you and your family but feel that I know you. I sing in the praise choir, with Sara Leibrandt. We are always in prayer for Spencer. I appreciate you giving updates on his condition. Keep the faith - my mother has battled cancer since August 2003 - she is in remission for which we are most thankful. We know prayer helps. Spencer just may be President some day...we never know what God has in mind for that young one. God bless all of you.

I came to know about Spencer through a friend, Karen K., and we have prayed for him for about 1 1/2 years now. I am especially sensitive to him because my dad has been dealing with brain tumors for quite some time. My dad has had many of the same types of treatments Spencer has (the most recent 5 years through MD Anderson Cancer Hospital in Houston, TX). I wanted to share some information we received through extensive research and prayer. The Burzynski Clinic in Houston (www.cancermed.com) has been having success in treatments that don't involve chemotherapy. We are meeting with the doctors on March 1st and if you are interested, I will forward information to you. They have indicated they have had success in dealing with choroid plexus tumors. We will continue to pray for your precious little son and strength and courage for you, his faithful parents. God bless and my His healing mercies come quickly to you.

Checking in to say hi and that we hated to hear the MRI report wasn't as good as we all hoped for. Keep the hope and faith up. Let Spencer know that Sean now has glasses too. He picked out a pair of Spiderman ones. He doesn't like wearing them too well, but he's cute like Spencer in them. Please know that our prayers are with all of you.

A warm greeting from Minden, Nebraska where the temp yesterday was an incredible 69 degrees and kids were out on the playground at our East Elementary school across the street. We are the grand-parents of Nathan Hultquist, (Don and Sandy Becker). Sandy (Jen's mom) is a nurse, and I'm the pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church where Rob and Jen come regularly and keep us informed of things going on with your family and Spencer. Jenny has a link for Spencer's website on Nathan's home page, and we see your notes occasionally. Just wanted you to know, if it's alright, along with Nathan, we name Jaden Ackerman in our prayers on Sunday mornings, and we will introduce and include Spencer's name and your family too. Just so you can see where we're coming from and where Nathan and family go to church, you can go to www.stpaulserving.com and click on "St. Paul Pictures" to see pictures of Jen, Rob & family from a little while ago. God bless, keep, and bring healing.

My name is Linda. I am the mother of Kelly (Hantak) O'Neill, one of Spenser's nurses. You and your family have been in our prayers almost since day one. Every week we put him on our prayer list at church. I even have some of our friends at church ask how he is. Please know that you are never alone.
