This website is a memorial to our wonderful 11yr. old son, Adam Douglas Kindell. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, when he was 3 and a half years old. He went through his treatments for 2 and a half years, and relapsed in his spinal fluid in 1998. Adam was put back on intense chemotherapy, which eventually put him in the ICU on a ventilator in an induced coma. By the grace of God, Adam got better, and went into another 2years of remission on maintenance chemotherapy, and off treatment for a year. He relapsed again in his spinal fluid in March of 2002, and underwent a unrelated bone marrow transplant on June 24 that year. Again God carried him through. Once Adam asked the dr. who was doing his spinal tap if he believed in God. The dr. said "Who's God?". He was joking, but Adam did not think it was one bit funny, and told him that he didn't want a dr. that didn't believe in God doing his spinal tap. The dr. saw that Adam was very serious, and when Adam told him that he prayed before every spinal tap, the dr. admitted that he did too. Adam once again got better, and was doing great until he received his immunizations. He began having trouble with his legs and walking, we took him to the dr. several times, and finaly found out that Adam had relapsed again, and only had a few months to live. Again Adam took it like a champ, and said that he was still going to pray for a miracle, that God could do anything. Unfortunately that wasn't in God's plan, and our angel became a heavenly angel on Dec. 21st, 2003. He went straight from my arms to Jesus's

I THANK GOD FOR EVERY SINGLE MINUTE THAT I HAD YOU IN MY LIFE. YOU TAUGHT ME SO MUCH! YOU TAUGHT ME NOT TO TAKE PEOPLE OR LIFE FOR GRANTED. I TAKE TIME TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY MEAN TO ME NOW. I TAKE THAT EXTRA FEW MINUTES TO MAKE A PHONE CALL TO SOMEONE THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM IN AWHILE. I CHERISH YOUR BROTHERS SMILES, WATCHING THEM WALK INTO THE ROOM, HEARING THERE VOICES, AND I TRY VERY HARD TO NOT GO TO BED MAD AT ANYONE. IT HAS TAKEN ME 4 YEARS TO FORGIVE SOMEONE FOR THE MEAN THINGS THEY SAID AND DONE TO YOU, AND YOU FORGAVE THEM THE SAME DAY. yOUR MY HERO, ADAM, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ALL THE JELLY BEANS IN THE WORLD.
