Blessed Father's Day
For Fatherly Guidance

Lord God, author of all wisdom,
Teach me how to do my work as a father according to your will.
Enlighten my mind that I may understand what to tell my children when it is necessary to give them direction or advice.
Give me good judgment to understand true spiritual values and to guide my family in your ways.
The world makes little of your wisdom and is not instructed in your ways, and close contact with the world makes it easy to become dulled to the things of solid spiritual worth.
Be my guide at all times, that I may be a true father and husband, sensitive always to the divine wisdom that only you can impart.
God, by the light of the Holy Spirit you instruct the hearts of your faithful.
Grant that I may be truly wise and ever enjoy his consolation, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

I'm sure you will treat your patients with abundance of TLC with your personal medical background.
“Love...It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.”
(1 Corinthians 13:7)


A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

Jelly beans & Jesus

Have you heard the story of the jelly beans?

Little jelly beans
Tell a story true.
A tale of our Father's love
That's just for me and you.

GREEN is for the new spring grass.
YELLOW is for the sun above.
BROWN is for the soft earth where
People sat hearing of HIS love.

PURPLE'S for the robe he wore
RED is for that precious wine.
BLACK is for the sins He washed
From your soul and mine.

BLUE'S for the sadness of
HIS friends and family,
and is for the glory of the Day
HE rose for you and me.

Now that you've heard the story
You know what each color means.
The story of our Father's love
As told by jelly beans.
So when you see jelly beans on this Easter season,
stop and remember,
Jesus is the reason!


"For God so loved the world, He gave His One and Only Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

May the road rise up

And until we meet again,

THE JELLY BEAN PRAYER

Red is for the blood He gave.
Yellow is for His son so bright.
Black is for the sins we made.
Purple is for His hours of sorrow.
Green is for the grass He made.
Orange is for the moon at night.
White is for the grace He gave.
Pink is for our new tomorrow.

A bag full of jellybeans,
Colorful & sweet,
Is a prayer, Is a promise, Is a small treat.
Remember Jesus when you eat the jellybeans.

Hey Kim, was just reading what you had on your page. This is an awesome way to keep people informed about what is going on!! I am so excited for you to go see Jay Leno!! I have gotten addicted to watching him at night :) You will have so much fun and I can't wait to tell you about Boston!! So I will be talking to you soon.

Hi Kim!

Last weekend I ran in the Nike 26.2 in San Francisco for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It was another race in your honor which I love to do. I had names of many folks all over my jersey, about 30 or 40 all together. Evidently because your name was horizontal, folks thought my name was Kim. All throughout the race people were calling out, "GO KIM!" "YOU CAN DO IT, KIM"

At first I was going to change the position of your name so folks wouldn't keep calling me Kim, but then I decdied to just leave it and would call back, "Yeah! Go Kim!" You were definitely with me through all those hills.

My training is going well for the Honolulu Marathon. I did the half in San Francisco and will do the whole 26.2 in Hawaii. My fundraising commitment for these 2 races is $5,970 and as of this moment I have raised $5,695!!!!

Thanks for sharing a link to my Team in Training website.

You are on my mind so much, Kim, and I really appreciate that you keep up with your website.

I am glad to hear that things are uneventful. Uneventful is beautiful. I can't wait to hear what you think of the Jay Leno concert. Have fun there.

With Love,

Your mom told me that you are coming home after this semester! You should come join me up at Brockport! Its a good time. Are you going to be home for thanksgiving? We should go out to lunch and catch up. I miss you a lot!
Keep in touch and keep up that positive attitude!

Kim,

I can't believe you are faced with yet one more obstacle. Life has not been fair to you. I find it amazing that you continue to find the strength to move forward with such grace and dignity. I tell the kids at school about you. You are my inspiration. They feel like they know you. I hope and pray that you get a little break. Love you and miss you. Looking forward to seeing you again in Boston. We probably need to shop a bit for your cruise!

Hi Kim,

I’m one of “those guys” that work with your dad and I’m very impressed with your attitude and perseverance. I know that it can be very difficult to keep going at times.
I was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx in Feb. 1996. Went thru a long period of radiation along with a bunch of other treatments but still ended up having my voice box removed. But the bottom line is, I’m still here! I counsel patients that are going thru the same thing that I did and I’m convinced that attitude is the single biggest factor in beating the big “C”. When I read thru your journal, your attitude and determination shows thru like a bright shining light. It’s okay to feel down every once in a while but then it’s time to get back up and keep going, which are you doing.
All my best to you and you’ll have a special place in my prayers.

Kim,
I have worked with your dad here at J&J for about 10 years and we bowled together for quite of few of those years. Anyway, he has keep us well informed of your condition and we are so thankful that you are back in school. As you may remember, I organized the group shopping certificate for you at the Greece-Ridge Mall. The people here at J&J are very caring towards you and your family. I'm sure you will reach your goal for your walk now that the message is out to the people here at work. May God Bless you through this school year and for the times ahead.

I remember you in my prayers.

Hi Kim,

I don't know if you remember me but you gave may daughter Colleen and me a tour of the Binghamton campus a couple years ago when she was considering colleges. I first met you at Pat Dowes house when she had a summer picnic. I work with your dad at OCD and he forwarded your web site to us so we could drop you a line.

I'm glad to hear you're doing better and that you're back at school. That in itself is quite an achievement! Nothing better for your health than to have reports to write, tests to take, late night study sessions.... on second thought maybe there are better ways to relax.

It certainly is a long road to recovery but I'll bet you have the strength to overcome this challenge. I was in a similar situation when I was 6 years old (many years ago). I was diagnosed with cancer and went throught 3 years of treatment. Treatment options were limited back then but here I am 42 years later and going strong. This type of experience only makes you stronger and really does put things into perspective as to what really matters in life. I'm looking forward to my 50th anniversary (June 2013)and thank God every day for another chance.

You have some work ahead of you but keep looking forward. I wish you the best and will keep you in my prayers.

I'm so glad to hear you are back at Binghamton. As we took our daughter, Katherine, to school for her senior year and her first off-campus apartment in Binghamton, I couldn't help but think of your family doing the same thing last year. Your Mom keeps me up to date on your progress and I'm so glad your health has improved enough that you could return to school. You are an incredible inspiration to "regular people" like us. I wish you all the best and will keep you in my prayers.

Dear Kim,

I am thinking of you as you go back to school in a surreal situation. You already began your senior year and here you are to do it again. How courageous you are to step back into the life you left a year ago. You are only one year older, but so much wiser, Kim. To think that you are giving yourself chemo alone puts things into perspective doesn't it?

I am continuing to train for the races I have signed up for in your honor. There are days when I truly don't feel like getting out there to run, but I think of you and get inspired right away. Thank you for being my honored teammate once again, Kim!

So far, close to $1,000 has been raised for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through your days at college.

Hi Kim,
I'm so glad that you are doing so well after what you have been through, and going back to your studies. My son Allan at 21 years old in May 2004 was diagnosed with ALL, and had a non-related bone marrow transplant in October 2004 - soon a year since the BMT and doing really well. Of course he had the usual side effects of chemo and radiation, and some rejection. He is feeling great now, lots of energy, and really looking forward to going back to university next week to resume his 3rd year toward a B.Music. I wish you the best of luck. Take care.

Kim, It's hard to believe that it is almost 1 year since we received the phone call from the doctor which changed our lives - and what a year it has been. The nightmare of being told you have leukemia and the side effects of the chemotherapy and radiation. At the same time, we experienced the blessing of such strong support from our family and friends. I don't think we could have made it through this ordeal without them.

I can't believe that you will be going back to school tomorrow. I have mixed feelings. I will miss you so much. But at the same time, I know that this is what we have been praying for. I am so proud of you. You have such a quiet, inner strength. You have amazed me with how well you have handled your illness.
I love you. Remember - I will only be a phone call (or 3-hr drive) away.

To the Object of my Infection:
It has been so great to see you progress throughout what seems more than a year. I look up to you in so many ways, many I can't even begin to describe in words. The amount of courage and dedication is more than I know that I could have put forth. And throughout it all you have been there for anyone who needs you (which is probably everyone who's life you have touched). I just wanted you and everyone who is checking up on you what a great friend you are, and I wouldn't change you for the world. You are not only my best friend, but also the sister God didn't give me.
Love you Quim!

Kim - I'm a cousin of Terry Clancy Jordan's. I got her letter with the link to your site, and have read your history. Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and praying for you. Hoping all goes well for you as you head back to school.

Hi Kim

Your Aunt Kathy has been keeping me up to date with all that's happening for you. She told me about the great visit you guys had last month. Keep up the good work! I just looked at your photo album and you are simply glowing! I know that this has been a dreadful year for you, but just think how easy everything else is going to seem after this! Good luck at school. I will keep you in my prayers.

Hi Kim,

I am training for a race in your honor once again. Thank you so much for being my honored teammate. Here is a link to the website. I keep trying to get a picture of you in there, so far no luck. In the meantime, I wrote a letter which I will send to you and that has your picture along with a link to your website here.

I am thinking of you as you get ready for school. When I was your age, your Mom and I did some crazy things. One of them was joining R.O.T.C. (Reserve Officers Training Corps). Lately I have gotten into storytelling and tonight I am rehearsing for a performance in which I tell the story of when your Mom's platoon tried to ambush mine. Although we were in Army ROTC, we were on maneuvers with the REAL Army guys. Your Mom laid in the snow waiting paitiently in a prone position with her M-16 rifle aimed and ready for us to innocently ride by. Only problem was we got stuck in a snow bank and had to wait for our enemy to get us out. Early in the morning I was asked by the Commander of the day if I was TC. I answered, "Yes sir." After all, my friends often called me TC since my name at the time was Terry Clancy. I felt happy that a REAL Army guy knew who I was. I was riding in the tank directing our driver at the time we got stuck. Once we were freed from the snow bank and met up with all the other troops for lunch, your Mom was standing there shivering, teeth chattering, freezing cold and wet from being in the snow. Someone approached us and asked me, "How did YOU get to be TC?" "What do you mean? I AM TC." I asked. "How did you get to be Tank Commander?" I think that's the day I decided not to join the Army. Your Mom was a good sport and never held it against me. We're still friends to this day.

My wish for you is that you meet someone as wild and crazy as your Mom (or as that TC person). I am sending you lots of love and just know that you are always in my prayers.
Love, Terry Jordan <Tjord1017@aol.com>

Hi Kim,

You are curled up on the couch right now resting after walking for hours today...but it is worth it to shop even if we were not as successful today as yesterday. Who would have ever thought - when seeing you back in April - that you would be able to do all that you did today. You are amazing and I am so lucky to have this time with you. Who knows maybe tomorrow we'll be more successful!

Hey Kim- I was so shocked to hear of your illness, but by what I have seen on your site, you are getting through it with the same positive attitude I always remember you having. I am sad that we lost touch over the years, but I'm in rochester and would love to keep in touch with you and the whole gymnastics crew. Nearly all of my favorite gymnastics memories include you, and you truly are an inspiration! Please keep smiling, and most importantly, laughing!!! :)

Kim,

I finished the Rock n Roll Marathon in your honor a week ago. Your name was on a ribbon attached to the front of my jersey and was also on my back. I thought of you so much and told stories about your courage.

I love that movie you shared. I cried as I watched. You have cancer, Kim...but cancer certainly doesn't have you.

Hi Kim,

I have been thinking of you a lot lately. Thank you so much for keeping up with everyone through this webpage. I am sorry to hear that you are going through the avascular necrosis in your hip and hope that there is something to stop that process soon.

It sounds like a bittersweet visit to your school getting your stuff. You have been sent on quite a different journey this past year, much more intense and demanding than any college course could ever be.

Kim, thank you so much for agreeing to be my honored teammate as I train and race for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Over $5,500 was raised which is awesome.

I finished one of the races in honor of you last month here in Portland Oregon. Next week, I will be running the San Diego Rock n Roll Marathon with you as my honored teammate.

I have decided to run yet another Marathon in October and would once again like to have you as an honoree if that is okay with you?

I noticed that my website is not up anymore, so I need to work on that and will send you another link.

In the meantime, send good thoughts my way on June 5th as I run the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon with you in my heart. The race begins at 6:30 am and will take me about 6 hours. I'll be thinking of you all day...how much easier it is to run a marathon than to be receiving chemotherapy. You are my hero, Kim.

Many blessings to you, Kim and tell your Mom and everyone I send my love,

We will be in Rochester this Saturday at Charlotte beach, my daughter has an audition to go on and then has to follow up with movie premiere handouts and I of course thought about you right away. If by some wacky chance you are not crazy busy on Saturday we would love to meet with you. We will be there from 2-4. If not we understand. Hope all is okay with you. God Bless, Lacy

Hi Kim,
Just thought I would check in on you, to see how you are doing. I see that it is methotrexate day ( A big ol' Yuck on that!) I can't believe that they have not found anything for you on the nausea yet. Forgive me for not being up to date but, did they try cutting the dose, or try zofran yet? Sometimes there isnt much that they can do and it feels like it is endless but there is light at the end of this awful disease, I see that same sparkle in you that I see in devon and you guys will conquer this monster with a smile. Hope METHO day went okay. Hang in there..Love, Lacy and Devon

HI Kim, I am glad your Mom sent me this web site. What a great idea to keep everyone updated. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I am sure you have your bad times but your strength that comes through in your journal entries amazes me. I will say some extra prayers that the avascular necrosis in your hip will improve. You are going through enough without that addition. Stay strong and keep your faith. With prayers and positive thoughts your way. Hugs, Janet ( I am your Mom's friend from skating at RSC)

Hi Kim, This is Lacy...Devon's Mom and I wanted to say thank you for signing his guest book, your thoughtful messages brought a smile to Devon's face. We are still battling one infection after another but we have faith that we will get over this mountain that seems to grow larger with every step.I read that you have avascular necrosis in your hip, that is the same thing they are thinking that Devon has. We go for a second opinion next week. Both of his femur bones in both legs show horrific damage and most days he has trouble walking(sent him home in a wheel chair and said wait it out)The things that all of you go through just breaks my heart and to see the smiles on your faces is a true inspiration. Again thank you, and I hope all is well with you. God bless, Lacy www.caringbridge.org/de/devon

Hi Kim,
I am a friend of Carol Cipura's and eat lunch with her often. I am also your father's Administrative Assistant although I don't know Frank very well. What courage you have to fight and defeat this terrible illness. We all hear stories like yours but find it difficult to imagine how we would be able to deal with our own children having so much discomfort. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you complete your treatment. I wish you all the best in your years to come - I am sure this will make you a better person in the long run, although Carol tells me you were always a great person to begin with.

Hey Kimmy-
I like the website it is a nice way to communicate to your family and friends to let them know how you are doing. It sounds like your treatment is going pretty well. I hope you are staying as positive and strong as you always are. My mother recovered from two different cancers, breast and uterine and recovery rates are improving everyday. Bad things happen to good people unfortunately, but its how you make the best of the bad situation that separates the good people from the great people. Be strong and stay positive. Before you know it things will be back to normal, but you have that greater appreciation and perspective that most of us lack. I look forward to seeing you in person soon.

U and ur family were there for me and I know that my brother is looking down on u right now and helping u through this hard time even tho u dont need him cuz u are a strong person urself. Dont worry about Kristen even tho Im sure u do because she has the best friends neone could ask for and we are all here for her through nething she needs us for. My family prays for u always and we will continue to pray for u through ur entire fight.

Hi, Kim K. We're so glad your mom forwarded us your website link. You tell an amazing story, and we love your pictures. You have no idea how much you're spoken and thought about. We have such awesome memories of you ... from way back in your baby and toddler yrs at Hilton Day Care, then the Northwood yrs, right up through middle school and those gymnastics yrs (even your Woodward stories), and then high school w/your pole vaulting. Your smile and personality were contagious ... always happy go lucky and a pleasure to be around! Am sure those traits will get you over this hurdle. You're so much stronger than the rest of us! Keep your head up, and hi to the rest of your family for us. Thinking of you, Kim K ... Carol, Theo, and Kim C :)

I wanted to take the time out here to let you know how much you mean to all of us. I know how strong you are and that this is but a speed bump in the road of life for you. This web site is such a great idea for keeping us all updated. Chin up & high spirits, each day is a SPECTASTERIFAGORICAL one. One step at a time. I'm looking forward to the next big trip together, so fight this thing off so we can go have some more fun on the islands. I missed the winter slopes together. I only went once this year, last weekend in Mass, remember Butternut. We'll be out there slicing up the snow again real soon, right.

Hi Kim,

I am a friend of your Uncle Dennis. He showed me your picture on the web site and I decided that you're very attractive and well connected into that wonderful Cibotti family. Have you ever done any modeling? He also told me about Paul but you have to admit that I am better looking.

You and your family are inspirational in the way you are coping with daily cancer treatment. It is such a difficult time for all of you. Our thoughts are with you. It is great you are planning to return to school in September.

Since you are taken, I notice in the picture that you have a "hot" sister - Kristen. Hey - if she doesn't have a prom date give me a call. I hear she is 16 going on 21. I'm a little old but I have money thanks to the expert financial advice your Uncle Dennis has given me. I should have listened to him when he told me not to marry Jen.

Keep up your spirits.

Love

Just wanted to say stay strong, and I know that you will get through the difficult times. I never really got to know you all that well, but from the little bit i knew about you the one thing that really stood out was how sweet you are and what a good heart you have. So i know that your heart will be enough to carry you through all the tough obstacles.

Kim:
Thanks for signing Ben's guestbook. I am so sorry to hear you have to deal with the steroids and all the chemo at such a precious time of life (or anytime!) Please know you are in our prayers. God Bless you!

Hi Kim, I know we've kind of lost touch the past few years but you were my best friend. All the years of gymnastics and backstreet boys dances, I'll never forget! I am really sorry to hear about everything, I know you are such a strong girl and you will make it through this with flying colors, just like you've made it through everything else. Keep your spirits up and know you are in everyone's thoughts and prayers! Talk to you soon <3 Jordan

Hi Kim,
I saw your web site address on the LLS board. Please know that you are not alone. My 4 year old son also was diagnosed with ALL in Jan/03. He has about 6 more months of treatment left and is doing pretty well right now.
Also, my friend was diagnosed with ALL when she was 21. I am happy to report that was about 10 years ago and she is married and has kids now. She is proof that there is a good life after this chemo crap is over with! I wish you the strength to fight each day to get over this. You can do it!

Hey Kim! I can't wait until you can come to Boston again. I love the mini road trips! I really enjoyed seeing you at Thanksgiving and I hope I can see you again soon. I love you and hope you get well soon.

Hi Kim, This website is wonderful. You did "forget" to mention in the introduction of your website that when you first got the symptoms, you thought you were out of shape. So, you decided that an aerobics class should help.

Don't suppose you'll be up for babysitting this summer? You can even take one (or more) of the triplets back to Rochester with you. Love, Laney

Dear Kim, I am so glad that you set up a web page. I think about you every day and hold you in my thoughts and prayers always. Thanks so much for sharing your story...even though it broke my heart to read. Your courage and strength are shining through and you will get through this veil of tears one day at a time. Know that I am thinking of you, your Mom and Dad and Kristin and all those who love you.

Hey Kim!! I miss you so much! I thought I would never say this, but I miss binghamton too lol maybe it is just because of the many great times we had together . . like us jumping on that velcro wall (not to mention that suit thing I was wearing was way too small lol), you tripping and falling and ripping your jeans, james covering you in shaving cream, to a bunch of us going sledding haha the list could go on and on . . Just keep your head up, everything will be just fine!! And just remember, if you need anything at all, I'm only a phone call away. I miss you!! I'll talk to you soon! love you, Loren
