I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.

It is not like the cord that connects us til birth this cord can't be seen by any on earth This cord does it's work right from the start it binds us together attached to my heart. I know that it's there though no one can see the invisible cord from my child to me. The strength of this cord is hard to describe. It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied It's stronger than any cord man could create. It withstands the test can hold any weight and though you are gone though your not here with me the cord is still there but no one can see It pulls at my heart, I am bruised....... I am sore But this cord is my lifeline as never before.. I am thankful that God connects us this way a mother and child death can't take it away!!!!!!!

Do they go out into space and circle the stars and then fall back to earth after traveling so far?? or does GOD collect them all in a big bouquet and give them to the children in heaven each day?? where do balloons go when you set them free?

Thank you for telling the story. I will NEVER forget it, God bless. love <deirdre@rochester.rr.com> - Sunday, March 28, 2004 6:28 PM CST "The Strength of an Egg" Parents of children with cancer are often referred to or viewed as having "strength like a rock". Albeit flattering it is not quite true. It is more like the strength of an egg. An egg you ask? Yes! If you'll think about it, you'll see my point. An egg has a polished, smooth outer appearance, with no cracks or weak spots visible. It seems almost inconceivable that the inside might not be as smooth or solid. Most children, at some point, are shown the famous egg trick. An egg set at just the right angle can withstand enormous amounts of pressure and cannot be cracked or broken. Yet the same egg, tapped gently at an even slightly different angle, will break. The contents, once so neatly concealed, will come spilling out. The no-longer perfect shell will be crushed. It looks so fragile that it seems inconceivable that it ever held any strength. A rock, on the other hand is solid all the way through. To break it is almost impossible. If you succeed, you will find that there is nothing inside but more rock. It takes a lot more than pure hardness to hold the "HAND OF HOPE". Parents of children with cancer are not solid all the way through. We hurt, we fear, we cry, we hope. It takes a very careful balancing act to keep the shell from being shattered. "Balancing an egg" while running a household, going for doctors' visits and hospital stays, keeping the family together, and holding on to the constantly unraveling ties of your sanity can be very tricky indeed! Occasionally, the angle will be off and the shell will break, shattering hope and the neatly secured appearances of a truly fragile existence. Unlike Humpty Dumpty, though, parents of children with cancer will pick themselves up and put themselves back together again. always in out thoughts, hearts and prayers..today and forever!!! ~*~Samantha's Story~*~ karen and sammi <mpbowler1@aol.com> - Friday, March 26, 2004 8:59 PM CST Hello Rucker Family, I just read your journal on Davin's passing. and just want to extend my Heart and prayers for strength for the Family.

God Bless Patty mom to Chance  http://lightingchildrenslives.org Patty <harleyga@bellsouth.net> Ga USA - Friday, February 27, 2004 12:36 AM CST This poem was sent to me by my friend Debbie, Lakota's mom. I hope it touches your heart as it did mine: I've seen you almost fall apart, When you could barely stand. I asked the Lord to comfort you, And watched him take your hand. He told me you are in more pain, Then I could ever be. He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard, Then gave your hand to me. Although you may not feel my touch, Or see me by your side. I've whispered that I love you, While I wiped each tear you cried. So please try not to ache for me, We'll meet again one day, Beyond the dark and stormy sky, A Rainbow lights the way Thinking of you with love and hugs, I am both saddened and honored to remember your angel Davin on my heroes page.

Not a day goes by that you are not in my prayers. I have followed Davin's page since he was listed at Hugs and Hope. I hope you will find only great happiness now and forever in your new home. I can completely understand having to move. Continued prayers for all of you, God bless. Eileen Lighting Children's Lives My own webpage is: www.caringbridge.org/il/ej EJ's "Caring" Place - Friday, February 20, 2004 4:14 PM CST Hello Ruckers, I'm new to your website. I first read about Davin's passing a couple of weeks ago, and a piece of my heart broke, so I wanted to share the path you now walk. I walked a similar path 10 years ago, not a child, but one I so deeply loved my life stopped when he left. I had a lot of support from friends and family, but one day I realized their lives had moved on normally, and I was still crippled by my loss. I'd love to tell you that the sun came out one day and everything was better, but that would be a lie. Your journey will contiue with wrong turns in the road and holes in the street, but the one thing that will keep you going is Gavin's love and picturing him over the "Rainbow Bridge." If you haven't heard of the "Rainbow Bridge" it's a meditation that helped me get through the hardest of times, and I can share with you if you like. This is where I knew my loved one was now, pain free, possibly helping others, and watching over me. I then learned to look up to the sky and smile once in awhile - seeing the "Rainbow Bridge." Please take care and know we love you. Jamie, Lighting Children's Lives <jbruce1012@yahoo.com> - Friday, February 20, 2004 11:24 AM CST Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always!

God Bless.(((hugs))) http://lightingchildrenslives.org Melanie <positivestories@aol.com> - Wednesday, February 18, 2004 8:33 PM CST I felt an angel's touch today, in the midst of my despair. Twas sent by God, Himself, to say, "be still and know I'm there." To lead through days of darkness, and light your way with love. Be still and know, deep in your heart, I'm reigning from above. I'll lift you when you stumble, I'm with you all the time. I understand and share your pain; remember child of mine, The end is coming quickly; the Lord shall soon appear. To resurrect the righteous ones, I love and hold so dear. And bring them home, into a place, where broken hearts are healed. And promises I made to you, will finally be fulfilled. This life is but a spot in time, a place for lessons learned. Heaven holds the key to all, your broken spirit yearns. I sent an angel down today, to show my words are true. You're never far, beyond the arms, of all God's love for you I wrote this poem shortly after I lost my Jennifer. I want you to know I am thinking of you with love, and pray you feel the touch of an angel today!

My deepest, most sincere sympathy and condolences to each and every one of you!! Davin was a fighter, there is no doubt about that! He is now pain free, free to fly in the Heavens and watch over all of you! We lost our precious Pam on Oct. 7, 2003, so I know what you are going through. There are no words that can ease the pain. I would just like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam: If you were a star That wasn’t expected back In the universe For a thousand years, I’d wait. If you were the sky And everyone went inside When you got sad And started to rain, I’d stay. And if you were a peach And the world decided to get rid of all peaches, I’d pick you up, Put you in my pocket… AND KEEP YOU……..FOREVER. I would also like to share, with you and your family, a poem that was put on Pams website: God's Garden God looked around His garden And found an empty place He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered "Peace Be Thine." It breaks our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You are all in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Frank father of ANGEL Pam (www.caringbridge.org/ny/pamostrowski) <frmurato@nyct.com> SYOSSET, NY USA - Monday, December 22, 2003 10:01 AM CST I didn't know anything about little Davin until I just read a post about him from Debbie (The Cage). He was such a brave little soldier and I know you feel very sad about losing him. But, just remember that he isn't in any pain and is probably sitting on Jesus' lap and having a lot of fun up there in heaven. And just think how lucky he is getting to celebrate Jesus' birthday right there with Him!! You and your family will be in my prayers for peace and comfort. The Lord will help you get through this sad time and may the Lord also strengthen your faith. God bless you this holiday season and always.

My parents no longer live with me; my mother died of ovarian cancer last Feb. 22nd, my father had lung cancer and passed awayin August of 2001. I'm only 46 and it just really isn't the same. At least Davin is happy now in Heaven with the dear and blessed angels. I'd love to help with a donation but I can't since I'm on a fixed income and I need to pay my bills; I'm sorry. May God continue to bless all of you richly; you will be in my prayers. Love you all, Pamela J. Pamela J.

And yes he is no longer suffering if this is to any comfort to you and your family. I myself have lost a child but have never had to lose her after having to see her suffer. I now have a daughter who is sick and I see her in pain everday and I watch her cry and beg for it to stop and I don't know what it would be like to be without her and I hope I never have to find out... Please listen to the words of the song by Sheree Austin... "Streets of Heaven" it puts me to comfort everytime I hear it... and I hope it might to you as well.. God Bless you and your family...

Hugs God Bless Candace (Jessica's Mom) Guardian Angel Program OR - Saturday, December 13, 2003 2:33 AM CST I've been sitting here trying to think of something, just a little something that could ease your pain, but all i have to offer is suport and love. There are many people who have never met Davin, or his family, but yet we found ourselfs waiting until we could sing online and check on our lil' buddy. Davin, was so strong and he has taught me so many life lessons that I don't believe I would have ever been able to learn. Davin was a boy who taught me, that my problems seemed so uninportant, to hug and kiss my family, to never pass judgement on someone because you dont know what they are going through, to always smile, and to never give up. This past summer, my second uncle died of a brain tumor and I found this peom they read for him... " They say Cancer is so limited..." " I say It Can Not- cripple love, surppress memories, silence courage, invade the soul, steal Eternal Life, conquer the spirit". A Blessing from Saint Patrick: May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields and, Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Hugs and Blessings to your family Angel Chris Quilts Of Love Chris <wardsweb@earthlink.net> Los Angeles, CA USA - Saturday, December 13, 2003 0:06 AM CST  Please know that we are holding you all close in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time. FairyGodmother (Smile Quilts) Greenville, SC USA - Saturday, December 13, 2003 0:05 AM CST Little Angels When God calls little children to dwell with him above, We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of his love. For no heartaches compare with the death of one small child Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold, So he picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try, The saddest word mandkind knows will always be "Goodbye". So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.

Wendy <scottwheeler2@comcast.net> Rowlett, TX - Friday, December 12, 2003 6:12 PM CST I too lost my precious Zach on Sept. 14, 2003. I am sure he was waiting for Davin with open arms. My Zach was 9 yrs. old and had a Pontine Glioma-brainstem tumor. He loved life and was such a hero just like Davin. I have followed Davin's web page and signed a few times. There are no words I can say that will take away your pain. It is a pain like no other. For now, planning and making arrangements for his funeral, you will feel numb but when it is all over and friends and family have gone you will start your grieving. Please don't hesitate to contact me. My heart goes out to you and yours and I pray for strength and comfort in the coming days, weeks, months, and years. www.caringbridge.org/nm/zach Misti Herrera-mother of angel Zach <dmherrera14@msn.com> Artesia, NM USA - Friday, December 12, 2003 6:02 PM CST Dear Shauna & Family!

USA - Friday, December 12, 2003 5:23 PM CST Dearest Rucker family, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss of precious Davin... I only found Davin's website about a week or so ago and have been checking in since then (although I haven't signed in)...and I am just so saddened to hear that he has left us. As heavy as my heart is that God had to take him to heal him, there is that part of me that feels some sort of comfort in knowing that Davin is indeed healed completely now...finally...he so deserved the healing. He fought so hard for so long and so bravely too. I will never forget him even though I only knew him for a very short while.. I will say a special prayer tonight to my mom and make sure she keeps a special eye on Davin up above till it is your time to be with him again. And I will keep your entire family in my prayers, for God to grant you all the peace, comfort and strength to help you get through the days, weeks, months and years ahead...

The Lopez Family Stacy Lopez <staylo@cdfi.net> Vallejo, CA Solano - Friday, December 12, 2003 3:45 PM CST To the Rucker Family, I lost my daughter, and the following poem brings comfort to my heart and soul. Please know that many of our hearts break with yours, and that Davin meant so much to us at Hugs and Hope. Life Is Eternal I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength and I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There. She's gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight -that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. Just at the moment when someone at my side shouts, "There. She's gone," there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "There she comes." So many are praying for you, and feel Heaven has gained one very precious Angel ~ Sherry C. ~ Hugs and Hope <southernhalo_14@hotmail.com> GA USA - Friday, December 12, 2003 3:19 PM CST Shauna, Russell and Tuesdey, it is with great sadness for you all that I read of Davin's departure from this earth. However, for him I am grateful, for I know heaven welcomed him with open arms. He is finally free of his pain and his long hard struggle in this life, and is finally in a place he will never ever feel pain or sadness or sorrow or worry again. Please know that your family is in our hearts, thoughts and prayers during this time especially. Please know that even though Davin has gone on to a better place, "Code_blue" is still here for you. code_blue_aprilarlady and the rest of the code_blue family <code_blue_family@yahoo.com> - Friday, December 12, 2003 3:14 PM CST My deepest sympathies to your whole family.

Penny (Code Blue) <code_blue_family@yahoo.com> maine usa - Friday, December 12, 2003 2:23 PM CST Rushell, Shauna, and Tuesdey, The overwhelming loss leaves the rest of us wondering what we can possibly say at this time...I'll just have to tell you we cried over here in Houston and my two boys, age 9 (turning 10 Jan 17) and 11 both have been following Davin's situation and praying for him every night. Tonight, they'll talk to an angel, but rest assured, we will send a prayer up to him tonight. Try to take comfort knowing he isn't alone, in pain, or having any worries at all. The sun is shining, the clouds are puffy, and there's a gentle breeze dancing across his face. I wish your pain could go as quickly as Davin's, but forever is a long time..until you are eventually reunited with your son. We'll always be here for you if you need us. Cathie L.

Cathy <Garbmike@optonline.net> Rockaway, nj - Friday, December 12, 2003 1:05 PM CST TOGETHERNESS Death is nothing at all -- I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near. Just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past, nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before -- only better, infinitely happier and for ever -- We will be all one together with Christ. Shannon <humphity319@aol.com> - Friday, December 12, 2003 12:38 AM CST *Rushell, Shauna, Tuesdey* No words can express my feelings after reading your latest update. As you probably know, I already signed Davin's guestbook once this morning, but something made me come back to his site. I can't say exactly what it was, but I just felt like I needed to check up on him. I am so sorry for your loss and the emotions running through you at this time. Please know Davin will always be missed and remembered by me. Once again, I am so, so sorry. *Davin* Thank goodness you're pain free. That's the good part. And as comfortable as you are in Heaven, there are TONS of people you left behind will miss you always. You're such a special, beautiful boy. I will forever be grateful for getting to know you, and your wonderful family, through your CaringBridge page. You've made my life better in many ways.

I hope you can find some comfort that there is no more pain for him and now after all the time you watched over him he will watch over you. Fly Little Wing Fly, fly little wing, fly beyond imagining. The softest cloud, the whitest dove, upon the wind of heaven's love. Past the planets and the stars, leave this lonely world of ours. Escape the sorrow and the pain, and fly again. Fly, fly precious one, your endless journey has begun. Take your gentle happiness, far too beautiful for this. Cross over to the other shore, there is peace forevermore. But hold this memory bittersweet, Until we meet. Fly, fly do not fear, don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear. Your heart is pure, your soul is free, be on your way, don't wait for me. Above the universe you'll climb, on beyond the hands of time. The moon will rise, the sun will set, but I won't forget... Fly, fly little wing, fly where only angels sing. Fly away, the time is right, go now, find the light. ~Celine Dion Take Care & Stay Strong, Laura Hinkle <lhinkle@carolina.rr.com> Weddington, NC USA - Friday, December 12, 2003 10:39 AM CST "Farewell, My Friends, Yet not farewell.

I love you, Barb Barb Bogner <babogner@earthlink.net> Mansfield, OH USA - Friday, December 12, 2003 10:34 AM CST All I can say is that I am sure Davin was immediately conducted by spirits of light to Heaven and is now surrounded by other angel friends happy with his new condition : no more pain, no more meds. From there, he will be sending invisible drops of LOVE to comfort your heart and keep you going with a POSITIVE attitude, looking into the FUTURE and the day you will meet again.

What a special little boy he must have been. Heaven will be blessed to have him. My thoughts and prayers are with you throughout this. Love, Beth Beth Leppo <beanieb@neo.rr.com> Mansfield , OH USA - Friday, December 12, 2003 10:01 AM CST Dear Rucker family, I'm so sorry for the pain you all are having to go through. I wanted to share something that was comforting to me and I hope you will find comforting. The bible tells us in both the new and the old testament that; One day in heaven is like a thousand days here on earth. If you do that in "smaller" math..thats like thirty days here, is like 10 minutes in heaven. So if you live another 60 years..thats 20 minutes in heaven. So, while we miss and our hearts ach for Davin..he really will have no clue your not with him. The twenty minutes hes saying hello to others and seeing Jesus, it'll be about time he turnes around and says,"Oh, and this is my mom and dad Jesus." He's fine and pain free, it truly is those of us left here that suffer. Please take hold of our heavenly Fathers hand, He cares and loves you only He can truly comfort you. Also, if you get time visit Noah Jay's web site, he just recently earned his wings as well. His mothers journal entries are awesome. http://www.caringbridge.org/mn/noahjay/index.htm Take care and God be with you, may His face shine upon you, and give you peace. :0) Tonya Cotton <Avery091@aol.com> Clearwater, FL - Friday, December 12, 2003 10:01 AM CST I am so very sorry and heartbroken for all of you.

Italy - Friday, December 12, 2003 9:40 AM CST  I am very sorry about your loss. I Cry not for you, but I Cry for me. I Cry not because you are gone from me, But because you left me behind. I Cry because, I don't know the beauty and love that you feel and see. I Cry not because I think your sad, but because I am sad. I Cry not because the love is gone, but I Cry because my love for you is so strong. I Cry for me because I wasn't quite ready to give you up. I Cry not because your not here with me, but because I'm not there with you. I Cry not that your soul was lifted up to heaven. I Cry because you left us here on this earth so full of emptiness without you. I Cry for me every time I think of you. I Cry for your Dad and your Brother. I Cry for all of those who loved you so dearly. I Cry not for you, for where you are. I Cry for us, for where we are, and that we are not with you. Every tear drop that falls from my eyes, are tears of joy and of gladness that you were such a wonderful part of my life. I Cry not to be with you, to experience the beauty, the splendor, and the abundance of things wonderful. To know what it's like for everything to be simply perfect..................... by: Nancie L.White Walkinbeauty You are in our hearts and prayers. Hugs and Prayers and Love, to you from us.

Kelley Fitzgerald (www.caringbridge.com/ny/lindsay) Rochester, NY - Thursday, December 11, 2003 8:34 AM CST Hi Davin, I stopped by to say hello and to send you my wishes for a miracle, its so hard to come up with something to say, there really isn't any "right" words in this circumstance, please just know how much our hearts ache for all of you, I have 3 children and I just can't imagine anything like this happening to them, it would rip my heart out, though knowing that he is hopefully not in any pain makes it a bit easier, no parent wants their child in pain, so his comfort is the most important thing right now, I'm sure even though he is sleeping most of the time he knows his loving family is right by his side, and that gives him peace and comfort. its just not fair that your precious boy has to endure this fight and pain, I wish him and all of you peace and strength now and forever.

Just dropping by before going to work to wish you a happy day. I am still praying for you. Only 22 more days until Christmas! Are you getting excited yet? Hugs and Love, my sweet friend ~ Martha Martha Snow - Hugs and Hope <mercycamerunning@charter.net> Redding, CA United States - Wednesday, December 3, 2003 10:29 AM CST Dear Davin, I learned of your struggles this morning from Martha Snow, our friend. I've spent a while reading many of these wishes and prayers from prople everywhere. They all know Jesus and are very sure He can heal you, so they pray. Now that I know of your needs, I am praying for you also. I saw some of the Hawaii pictures and I can see you have smiles and hope. Sometimes you have to show your family and friends how much God can do inside you because they are so worried and don't have things hurting them to remind them to keep praying. Keep rembering Jesus, Who already suffered for you. Try to "give" the hard things to Him when you are having to take those treatments and tests. I'm praying that you can understand and realize each time you have problems that Jesus has already paid for the right to suffer your pain for you so you can give that pain to God in Jesus' Name when you pray. That's a lot for a little boy, I know. But I can tell by what everyone says about you that you have faith in God and a wonderful spirit of hope. I hope for your healing and pray with that hope. I already know Jesus loves you and I can tell you love Him. Your new friend, Cody Smith (an old 65 year-old man...but I have 11 grandchildren so I'm not really an old geezer!) Cody Smith <poppacody@hotmail.com> Gridley, CA USA - Wednesday, December 3, 2003 9:53 AM CST *Hi Ruckers!* I hope today finds all of you well.

Please accept my love and positive thinking: Angel Funnybunny <funnybunny@funny-bunny.nl> The Netherlands - Tuesday, December 2, 2003 11:34 AM CST Hello Davin, Russell, Shawna & Tuesday, I'm new to your site, but I'm sending my strongest prayers to you all, and will continue to do so to help you get to a better place. One day my neice who has a little girl with Spina bifida asked me, "Aunt Jamie why me? I did everything right to have a healthy baby." I told her "Roxanne, God couldn't have given Allison to anyone else, because you are so special he knew you could do this. God knows how good you are, and how much love this baby would need, so he picked you to be her mother." That was when Allison was first born - she is now 6 years old, gone through 3 spinal extensions, many more surgeries and illnesses and they're all doing fine. So you see, God picked you to be Davin's family. He knew you were strong and powerful with love, so he chose to bring you together. He knows how much Davin and all of you needed each other to get through these times. You are special - stay strong. My love and prayers, Jamie Jamie Bruce <jbruce1012@juno.com> Hayward, CA USA - Tuesday, December 2, 2003 11:32 AM CST As a parent of a code blue kid also i cant even imagine the pain you must be feeling right now my prayers and love are with you.

Dori is my chemo angel also. The only difference between the two of us are our ages...I am an old guy, but your a young man who is a fighter and will beat this cancer. I also have brain cancer (13 tumors), in addition to lung and spine, but I am having better luck with this new chemo called Iressa, I take it every day and it's been good. I know what your going through, just keep your chin up and never stop fighting and always remember God, parents, friends, and everyone who hears about you loves you and sends there positive energy to you so you will get better. My doctors gave me a lot of hope to beat cancer and by staying positive and wanting to be with my wife Cindy and my two kids, Kari and Joey, made me fight even harder. I know your doing the same. By the way, I lived in San Antonio, Texas for several years, but moved back to Colorado two years ago. The mountains are awesome, when you get better you can come visit my family and we will go hiking or I could take you rock climbing, how does that sound?

And PLEASE keep me updated on Davin's condition whenever you're able to. As far as Jeff goes......................... I'm going to be writing this on Samantha's page, but I thought I'd include it in Davin's guestbook incase you're too busy to stop by. He went to a Neurosurgeon today and was told that surgery is the only option for him. Without it, he would become completely paralized. So he'll be going into Boston for a consult at Mass General as soon as he's informed of when his appointment will be. I'll be more than happy to give you more details as soon as I know them myself.

It was where the tumor was removed and a cyst formed there. it was ok though, the doc said as long as it was draining into his spine and not building pressure, he was ok.)

I know this won't take your mind off getting those test results, but we're sure trying to! We thought we'd share something not medically related. We'll also pray for great things in the test results. *Davin* Hey buddy. What's going on with you? I'm sure that's the question that's on everyone's mind right now. I know everyone in your family is extremely worried about you right now and so am I. I hate checking on you and finding out you're going through so much crap and aren't feeling like yourself. I am truly sorry for all you're going through. I'm hoping and praying answers come your way soon and you're able to start acting like your old self again. *Shauna & Rushell* Hi you two. This will probably sound like I'm repeating myself {and in a way I am}, but I am sorry to hear of all the crap Davin and the rest of you are going through. I am, however, SO happy to hear all of you had a great time in Hawaii. Needless to say I'm just a tad jealous. I can't wait to see the great pictures that were taken! As always, all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. More than likely I'll be signing on to Davin's page every 5 minutes checking for an update on those MRI results.

This little cutie just dazzled me when I visited the bird nursery..so we've added a FIFTH bird to our flock! I couldn't believe the sizzling blue coming through..and he's only TWO MONTHS old! He's a boy (they did a DNA blood test) and he wobbled onto my finger and said, "Dah bop?" My heart went "pit pat" and the rest is history. I was lucky, because these guys aren't that common. This breeder has only had one other one...five years ago! We are known for our unusual and original bird names. Well, this little guy is a BLUE HEADED PIONUS. So, meet DASANI. You know, like the BLUE bottled water by Pepsi? And guess what his nickname is? SONIC, (derived from the "sani") another BLUE item, ie, the Sega blue mascot? (think video games) How perfect! Dasani will have a hot blue/purple head, it's awesome! But what you'd love the most is their smell. They have a fruity smell! Dasani smells like a cherry-orange mix! Well, we just wanted to share our baby news with you. Dasani will be in the nursery for another month or so. Bye for now, more bird pics coming soon. cathie Feathers 'n Smiles Texas, Hugs and Hope <haldago@earthlink.net> Houston, - Monday, October 27, 2003 11:03 AM CST Hey buddy, I hope this finds you feeling good and in good spirits.

Hi Davin and Tuesdey!Instead of posting my birds' pictures, this time I thought we'd go wild. This is one of 300 pictures I took. Did you know Indochinese tigers LOVE to swim? They do. We watched these two for about an hour at the Houston Zoo. They have a huge area to lounge around in, and a wide "river" to swim in. The Houston Zoo is known for its natural habitats...some are so good, you can't see the animals. We never did spot the leopards (no pun intended.) which were hidden up in their rocky area. Here's some fact about these tigers for you! They are found in mainly in Thailand, but also Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Myanmar, Jamaica, Virgin Islands (U.S.) They like forest but also hills and mountainous areas. Their stripes are narrower than the Bengal tiger..but folks OFTEN get these guys mixed up! And guess how much they weigh when they are born? TWO ounces! The mom usually has 2-4 babies and by a year and a half old, they are skilled enough hunters to say, "See ya later!" Click on the picture to go to the Houston Zoo page ..I've linked you the page where you can click on any of the mammals and see great pictures and facts. (I spent about an hour surfing the page myself! You can also go to birds, fish, reptile pages, etc.) Enjoy! cathie Feathers 'n Smiles Texas, Hugs and Hope <haldago@earthlink.net> Houston, - Thursday, October 9, 2003 4:42 PM CDT Hang in there, buddy...

My yellow nape amazon, Tripoli, thought you'd like a picture of a bird in your guestbook. She is a show off! Did you know she she sings Yankee Doodle, Saints Come Marching In, and Old Mac Donald Had A Farm? She also says 150 different things, such as (wolf whistle) "Wow! You're a ten!" Other things are "You're my baby," and "I love you" and "Whatcha doing?" and "I want outside!" She also tells me, "I want food." She also does MY laugh then says, "You're funny!" The last time I corrected her singing, she told me, "There ya go!" like SHE was teaching ME! We are working on "Uh oh. I taste like chicken." Aren't I mean? Hee hee hee. Total, I have four birds. Tripoli, Pompeii (a severe macaw) Callao (a Half Moon Conure) and Mirage (a Congo African grey) They keep me busy! We're all thinking about you. Tripoli was VERY impressed that you went to school when you didn't feel good the day before. She can't say "Atta guy!" yet but I know she was thinking it. (BTW, If anyone who owns birds would like to join our Feathers 'n Smiles group, just click on the picture. We sign guestbooks of these wonderful kids and tell them briefly about our birds. )(You don't have to do pictures.) cathie Feathers 'n Smiles Texas <haldago@earthlink.net> Houston, Texas - Friday, October 3, 2003 10:56 PM CDT Hi Davin, Wow- I admire your strength.

I think God has bigger plans for these kids than we realise sometimes.

Lewisville, Tx USA - Saturday, September 13, 2003 10:45 PM CDT Shauna, After almost 2 years I still think "Why mine?" Then I think "Why not mine?" Then I answer "Because she's mine". I still feel very angry sometimes that this happened. Unfortunatly I'm not the type that says "It was God's wish" etc. etc. It happened and I can't blame anybody. Gemma is fine at the moment, but as we all know that doesn't offer any guarantees for the future. As we Cancer parents know, I'm not being pessimistic, I'm being realistic. GEMMA'S JOURNAL Sandra <luigitumminelli@virgilio.it> Sicily. Italy - Friday, September 12, 2003 3:00 PM CDT *Davin* Hey there, buddy. I just wanted to take a couple of minutes and stop by to wish you a VERY happy weekend. I hope you and your family are able to find something fun to do to pass the time. *Shauna* Of course I can understand all the feelings you have concerning Davin's cancer. I can't understand as a parent of a child with cancer would, but I understand as a parent of a legally blind child. Many of your words struck me. I realize Samantha also won't be able to do everything other children do. And she'll probably end up wondering why she isn't able to do some things that others can. Ah, the joys of parenthood. Before becoming a mother, I don't think I ever worried so much. Please know you and your entire family are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers. Sending lots and lots of hugs your way!!!

With angel hugz, kisses & friendship...Angel Red  Angel Red Myst Phoenix,, Az - Thursday, April 3, 2003 10:16 AM CST Davin, my heart is breaking reading your story. This must be so much for your sister to understand too. Well I dont know how a child would understand this, when us adults cant figure out why this happens to innocent kids. My son has ALL, we are made to feel we are so fortunate to have the best kind of leukemia, yet I keep coming across so many relapsed kids lately, its hard to feel at ease with it. I will be praying for you and your family. This must be so emotionally hard to go through. Chris ~ Gooch's Site - Wednesday, April 2, 2003 10:06 PM CST

Jackie Bennett <gramjackie@hotmail.com> Weirton, WV USA - Thursday, March 27, 2003 9:37 PM CST Dear Davin, you won't remember me but I used to know you when you were a little boy. I remember what a sweet heart you have and what a good looking boy you are. I just want you to know that there are a lot of us who care about you and what you're going through. We just want you to know how much we care and that God's hands are holding you steady, his love surrounding you like a soft spring breeze. You take good care of yourself and tell your parents hi for us. My husband John and I were your mother's Sunday School teachers and we love her just as much as you. In fact, I gave her the goofy nickname of Shauna Mae! Be good and take care. Blessings on you.
