Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.ISAIAH 40:30-31 >

"YOU GAIN STRENGTH, COURAGE, AND CONFIDENCE BY EVERY EXPERIENCE IN WHICH YOU REALLY STOP AND LOOK FEAR IN THE FACE.

YOU ARE ABLE TO SAY TO YOURSELF: "I HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE HORROR. I CAN TAKE THE NEXT THING THAT COMES ALONG..."

YOU MUST DO THE NEXT THING YOU THINK YOU CANNOT DO.
Eleanor Roosevelt



This page was started in 2004 when our son Cameron was diagnosed with NB Stage IV. Cameron went through 7 rounds of high dose Chemo, 2 pre-transplant rounds of chemo, 2 stem cell transplants in Texas, a 12 hour surgery performed by the worlds best surgeon for this kind of tumor in NY at MSKCC, 4 weeks of daily radiation, and 2 doses of Accutane. He went through 30-40 blood transfusions, 20-30 plattlete trasfusions and over 50-60 scans and tests. This was all done in a 14 month period. Although he endured all of these things it only bought us time with our son. He went to be with Jesus on July 13th at the age of 4 years 6 months and 3 days. Feel free to read our story and learn what our life was like through our sons journey of childhood cancer. It is now used to help people realize what life is like for those trying to understand us and hopefully there for those who have been in our shoes and just need someone that understands them. Please keep all those still fighting in your prayers along with their families for it is a difficult life to live. Thank you for everyone out there that has been by our sides through our good times and our bad. If it werent for people like you where would we be?
God Bless You All,
Mike, Jamie, Angel Cameron, Madison and baby Hadley

TRY TO UNDERSTAND
Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.
He said: "Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didnt take me from you, mom
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby,
My body's gone forever
But my SPIRIT WILL NEVER DIE!
And so, you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand -
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.
Written by Susan R. George Shipman








My silent child
our precious baby,
Close to my heart
I'll keep you with me.
An important job
God has for you,
There is love to give,
and work to do.
He needs an angel
strong but small,
To shine light on many
and give love to all.
Before you go
I give you this,
half my heart
and one last kiss.
We'll miss you dearly
that we know,
But by God you were
chosen,
So to heaven, you must go

by Kelly Lancor






God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, come to Me
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes THE BEST!



Love is not a matter of counting the years, it's a matter of making the YEARS count -Theophrastus






Be who you are and say what you feel Because those who mind don't matter And those who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss

Hello all,
Im not real sure who checks this site that much anymore seeing how I go forever without updating! I appologize for the long absence of us and our updates!

We are all doing great! Mike was interveiwed a few months ago to move up to a lineman position... He got it!!! woohoo
He has been gone off and on a lot lately since he is sched to go back over seas in March or so of next year! This time he will be deployed to Afghanastan. His other 2 deployments were to Iraq! So he has been doing training for this deployment along with some training for his new lineman position also!

Madison turned 5 this summer and started kindergarted this month! She did well the first few days but pretty much cries daily when I take her to school because she is going to miss me she says! She is doing great and loves working on her work books when she gets home! Im thinking about enrolling her into dance or gymnastics this fall but havent decided yet! It can get so expensive...YIKES

Hadley will turn 3 in a few weeks... We are having a Hello Kitty party next weekend! I cant believe Hello Kitty has come back! haha She loves staying home with me while Madison is at school! Some days we go to the park but others we stay in and do all kinds of fun stuff! It has been so hot this summer it was almost miserable to go out side unless it was to swim!

As for me I am staying home still with the kiddos and loving it! I think I will be ready to go back to work when Hadley goes to school but not sure if ill go back into medical or choose something different! I was diagnosed in Dec with Fibromyalgia and Lupus! I took a medicine that made me gain 45 pounds and I was still not feeling better! So I have stopped it and gone to a pain dr and started feeling better and am now having to work on getting this weight off again! ugh

We are still learning to adjust to our lives of a child that is missing and not in our daily lives! We are handeling it pretty well considering! The time has gone by so fast that it was 5 years this summer! He will be 10 in January and that just blows my mind! I cant even begin to imagine what our lives would be like with him here and where we would be! I often wonder if I would still have been blessed with my beautiful daughters! God has given us such a eye opening experience and gift! Without him where would I have been!!! I know with the strength I get from God is how I survive on a daily basis! Thank you all who still visit on here! I hope everyone is living a blessed life...
Jamie
