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


Mike, Jamie, Madison(3) and Hadley(1)






"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

Create Your Own

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 I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season and the wounderful snow we have had. They say we could have more this week and Madison is getting very excited about that! We are all doing well, we are still in the middle of building the house but it is scheduled to be complete around the 29th of Dec. We will wait to move it until after the first of the year so everyone can take off and enjoy the holidays with there families and not work! We are living with a friend here in Woodward and a few days a week the girls and I go back home to alva to stay while Madison is doing gymnastics. We ae very thankful for our friend letting us live here, but are so ready to have our own house again! Its been well over a year since we had a place to call our own and we are very excited the time is coming soon.

Mike made it home back on October 13th. We stayed in OKC that night since the following day we were going to have to drive to Arkansas to see his father for he had had a heart attack at some time and was in the hospital. We drove to AK that next day and for 3 days straight drove back and forth from his sisters to Little Rock for appointments and finally open heart surgery! Mikes dad ended up having 5 bypasses and a artery cleaned out. Him and his sister took turns staying with him at the hospital for I had to stay home with sick kids all week fighting the flu! For a 70 some year old man he recovered fabulous and was home in 4 days. We went ahead and stayed another week or 2 to make sure all was going to be ok and mike was able to visit and do his fair share in helping care for his dad. As of right now he is doing great and working out weekly and back on his feet! Praise the Lord for the strength he has given him!

Mike was back to work before his leave was up but we werent complaing since he was going to be drawing from two jobs at one time for a month! This would help out great for Christmas time. We took one weekend to go to the city and celebrate a 40th birthday with some friends and got all of our shopping done in one weekend. Now I have just a few more gifts to wrap and all will be ready for christmas. We will be spending Christmas in Woodward since mike will have to go to work the day after. Its hard to ask off when youve been gone for a year!

Im still staying home with the girls and will hopefully do so until Hadley goes to school n a few years! Madi has grown so fast and will begin pre k in august! Im not sure im ready for that!!! I have greatly enjoyed staying home with the kids. I learned so much from the times that were taken from me while working while Cameron was little. If there was anything that came out of that experience it was you need to be there for yur babies while they are little and I wouldnt change a thing.

Well I need to get to going the kids are into everything and mikes busy cooking! haha I hope everyone is able to take the time and enjoy there time with family and friends this holiday Season! Thank you to everyone that continues to follow us in our paths of life. Please keep all the kids still fighting in your hearts and in your prayers. May God bless you all.
Jamie

Jesus is the reason for the season!!!
