Hi guys! Can't wait to see pix of Sydney. Sophie and I had a long talk about Griffin and cancer last night and I had a real hard time holding back the tears when we were remembering seeing him in the hospital those last days. You were so strong then and I'm sure you're going to be just as strong when it's time to deliver that baby. I bet Blakey is excited. We're wishing you a safe and quick delivery and looking forward to seeing her. Love, Jill

Monique,

Griffin is watching over you as you prepare for your new baby girl. And I know Blake will help with her once she is here. Your grief must be unbearable but remember Griffin is in a better place and one day you will join him there!! Our selfish nature wants him back, but you would never want him back in pain like he was. He is now pain free and running on streets of gold, waving his sword and flashing that awesome smile of his.
Praying for peace and comfort for you,

Hi MO and Barry
Congrats on the new baby coming real soon. We are very excited for you. I just wanted to add a memory of Griifin for you Mo. I thought you would like it. I remember bringing the bike my students bought for Griffin over to your house. He was so excited about the bike but it was too big for him. Although with the determnination we know Griffin had he tried to ride that bike. Of course Barry was right there along side him helping him along. I still think of Griffin often and smile. He is such an amazing boy and I know that heaven is a much brighter, happier and fun place now that he is there. I can't wait to meet him again in our Father's house. Take care and good luck in the next few weeks with the anticipation of the new baby coming.
Love
Michelle, Scott, Rebecca, and Isaac
P.S. Blake looks great and is growing so fast.

Coarsegold, CA USA - Wednesday, February 1, 2006 10:19 AM CST

Monique,
Even though we have never had the pleasure of meeting, I feel like I know you. I come to Grifin's site often, but hardly ever sign. I just wanted you to know that I am thrilled about your new baby girl coming and like the lady before me wrote, she will have one wonderful, protective angel in heaven watching her every move!
We are so grateful that Chandler is doing so well, but those dreaded scans are coming next week so of course, we are starting to get a bit nervy around our house.
I just wanted to thank you for writing to us last year when we were so scared about a possible relapse that never, THANK GOD, materialized. Your words were very comforting to me.
Looking forward to more pics soon. Thanks for sharing about Griffin. He is lucky to have such a great Mama.
In His hands,
Kim

Hi Monique....I have been thinking of you today. It is hard to believe that it is already almost time for the new baby! :) And what a beautiful name you have picked...Paige will be so honored. I can't wait to see pictures of her, and of her nursery. She will have the best and fiercest guardian angel ever! What a lucky little girl. Prayers and love to you and your family, and griffin of course. Love Janet

My feelings are completely the same. I could just copy your journal entry and add it to mine. My heart breaks for the memories that are fading and for the people who leave because it is all too much for them. Know this--I will never leave you and I will always be your friend. We will always share our childrens lives and memories together. Can't wait to meet little Sidney Paige. We are so honored by the name. See you soon.

Today i'm going to get a bunch of red balloons for my kids to enjoy and tell them all about the special,brave young man who loved the color red,i'll also get them some skittles and red mountain dew and make a toast to that gorgeous smile of his and hope he knows how loved and missed he is.

I was thinking about last Christmas, when I was sitting near your fireplace and looking at the BIGGEST Christmas stockings I have ever seen. Then I smiled, because I know Griffin will be having even bigger Christmas stockings hanging from the fireplace on the farm ... Opening presents from sun-up to sun down ... swimming in the lake of hot chocolate and eating marshmallows when he gets hungry ... and just having a blast. When I'm missing him, I just think of what a great time he must be having ... and I have to smile ... knowing that he is smiling his famous Griffin grin. Blakey, did you sit on Santa's lap and tell him what you want for Christmas? Missing all of you.
Love, Grandma Lucinda

All I can say is to take one day as it comes, or focus on one hour or even one breathe at a time if that what you need. Although Griff is not here, and that's the person you really want, know that your friends and family are standing right behind and beside you to hold you during this time. With all my love to you

Hey y'all,

Just wanted to tell you I was thinking about you. There is an ocean of memories of Court and Griff from around this time last year. I know they're looking down on us from the farm and helping God prepare our "spot on the farm" I love y'all with all my heart and I wanted to wish you a peaceful Christmas this year. We've recieved this poem from numerous people and it really is beautiful. Thought you might like it as well.

My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees,
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven�s stars
Reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear,
For I�m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music don�t compare,
With the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
To hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away,
We really aren�t apart. So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear
And be glad I�m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift,
From the heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory,
Of my undying love.
After all �Love� is a gift,
More precious than pure gold,
It was always most important,
In the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
As my heavenly father said to do,
For I can�t count the blessings of love,
He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas,
And wipe away that tear,
Remember, I�m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.

Love Brit

I come to Griffin's site everyday to look at his pictures. 2 new recruit classes now know about Griffin.
We are having another blood drive on January 10th, and another class will learn about him also. I talk about him and Peyton as much as I can until the tears start coming and I can't talk anymore. I promise that your son's memory is kept alive at the Academy.

I hope that you all are able to get through the holidays in whatever way is best for ya'll. Please know that there are so many people that care, for now and forever.

You may not remember me and that is ok but I wanted to say hello and that I think about you all the time. I had the pleasure of meeting you a year ago when Griffin was having a hard time in the clinic. I took Blake & played with him so you could be there with Griffin. Ever since that day I have thought about you & your family a lot!!! When I heard about Griffins passing I was watching the news and I was very shocked and very sad. I never had the chance to tell you that I am sorry for your lose. Griffin will always be remembered, he touched SEVERAL lives!!!!
I just now found this site & I have read every word. I am happy to hear that you are going to have a baby girl in the near future. Congrats and I hope that you & your family have a blessed Christmas and New Year.

Mo, Barry and Blake
I was so touched to read your last entry about everything you are grateful for; griffey would be proud. I've been thinking a lot of you guys with the holidays approaching. Everyone starts getting so excited the day after Thanksgiving anticipating the holiday season. For a parent who has lost a child some of these things cut your heart like a knife daily. All the joy, the lights, the toys, the memories, the what should be's. I just wanted to take a moment to pass on a poem that was given to me our first Christmas without Ryan. I have it framed and bring it out every Christmas. When I read I can almost hear him reading it to me. I hope it reminds you of where he is and how incredible Christmas is in Heaven. I love you all.
My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below.
with tiny lights, like Heaven�s stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can�t compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away, we really aren�t apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear.
And be glad I�m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my father said to do.
For I can�t count the blessing or love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

Merry Christmas to All!

Hi,
We were in touch a while ago through Marni White, and I've been following Griffin's story through her. I'm so terribly sorry for all you have been through. I lost my little one to Neuroblastoma too. Griffin will always be such a wonderful and inspirational little boy! You were all lucky to have each other. Sending you much love and thinking of you over the holdiay season.

Dearest Mo,

I am grateful for you and the way you shared Griffin with us. You allowed him to spend so many hours with others that loved him even when you knew that his time was limited, that is a great act of bravery. I am grateful that you have another opportunity to parent becasue you and Barry are two of the best. Love always

perris, ca - Tuesday, November 15, 2005 5:16 PM CST

Wow. The emotion I have not been feeling is Thankfulness. I've been wondering how I would make it through Thanksgiving, as I had nothing to be thankful for. It sounds like little boys like Nathan and Griffin have this unique understanding of life and it's many intrinsic joys that many of us don't take the time to see. I wish I could think like Griffin, and think like Nathan. To have that happy peace through every trial.

Thank you for writing that, Monique.

Monique- You made me cry again! You have such an incredible outlook on how to deal with the loss of Griffin- it amazes me. It was only a little over a year ago that Leo came to Texas and we hooked up Griff's PCA so that he could go out and buy toys. He got to do so many things that other 6 years olds could never do...try and remember all of the good times you had with Griff as you go into the holiday season.
Love,
Stacy

It's a sad day today as I remember saying good-bye to Griffin a year ago. We had such a wonderful Veteran's Day weekend with you last year. Lucas, Koa, Allie, and I enjoyed Griffin so much and still talk about Zacharriah and all the dancing and sword fighting. When the time came to leave on the 14th, Griffin was so mad at us! He said, "So much for you guys visiting me." He wasn't being rude, he was just so sad we had to leave. I think he was most mad at me since I had the plane tickets and was taking away his cousins. He did come out at the end and hug Lucas, Koa, and Allie and tell them for the millionth time that weekend how much he loved them. He wouldn't let me get mushy with him, but I will remember forever touching his head goodbye and feeling his hair. It was so soft and silky. (Griffin, if you are reading this, I take that back. It was really rough and masculine.) So many good memories to keep alive forever. We miss you so much, Griffin. Keep making Koa's ball get stuck on the roof! He knows you are to blame. We love you all, dear Yarbroughs.

Hi, it's been awhile and I will never forget Griffin, I still remember some of your last entries and they are forever embedded in my mind. I come often but don't usually get a chance to post, Thank you for sharing Griffin, Blake and your family with us.

And now another story begins, congratulations on your pregnancy and your daughter. Remember Griffin will always be a part of her like he is a part of Blake, by speaking of him he still lives on in our memories, for if we stop speaking of those memories they tend to get lost forever, unfortunately I speak from experience.

Keeping you all in our prayers and thoughts always.

Russell and I are at home giving candy to the few kids that are coming by. We carved pumpkins, I all I could think about was last Halloween with Griffey, Russell carving pumpkins. We had so much fun that night, it will be my most memorable Halloween. I love you all!

Hey Monique,
I am missing Griffin today. Yesterday Bella asked what Griffin would be for Halloween. I told her it would be something wonderful, and to ask Griffin in her dreams. She let a purple balloon go for him and I cried. She said she wants to go on an airplane and visit Griffin. So do I. Love you all, Lucinda
I love you all the way to the moon and back!

Hi Monique,

I live in Melbourne/Australia with my family. Yesterday, I saw "the little miracle" Griffin's pictures and your diary. I read it with so many tears in my eyes and today while writing these sentences, I am still crying. I can understand how difficult it must be to lose your son. A friend of mine lost their son at the age of 5 and I am still thinking of him for the last 2 years. It is very very sad. Please do take care of yourselves. We will always be thinking of you and Griffin.

I have been thinking of your family so often lately. Alex, from boy scouts, has been asking if I think that everyone we know knows eachother in heaven. I assure him that they do, but that heaven must be a very big place. He says that he hopes one day he will be able to play Yugioh with Griff
since he wasn't able to before. Monique and Barry, you are my idols! I am so excited to hear about your news of the baby on the way. Thanks for being so good about keeping us all updated, and so real. I know I have been blessed, but never have quite appreciated what I have until seeing it through your eyes. Happy Halloween.

Mo,
I was just missing griffey today and had to see his face; so I thought I would look on his web site. I just want you to know that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of and miss griffin. He has impacted my life forever, and no matter how many days, months or years go by I will never forget his voice, smile and caring heart. I think back to 5 years ago when we met (close to Halloween) strolling the halls of CHLA. Griffin and Rye in their cute costumes and Shelley and mo with so much hope. I hate that they are gone and I hate that all we have left are our memories of them. At least they are together now I just wish you and I were. I miss you so much, I can't stand it at times. I just want you to know that Griffin is so very alive in my heart and that will never change. As you said this is a long long journey, that is very hard. Just yesterday I was walking through target and they just put a starbucks in it. They had a sign that said "get in the spirit with our holiday coffee's." Just the smell of the gingerbread took me back to Griffey's last week in the hospital, bringing you coffee in the morning. I miss him so much, and I would do anything to change the outcomes of our precious little boys. Love ya

Hi guys!
It's been too long since we've signed in, so I thought it was time that we did! I also wanted to fill you in on what happened this past weekend. We as a family went to Ridgmar mall in Ft. Worth, where Peyton had her Build-A-Bear birthday party. When we were walking in the doors of the mall, I was suddenly filled with such sadness remembering that this was the last place that we were all together with Griffin. I kept trying to shake it, but just couldnt seem to get rid of that feeling. Then, all of a sudden, we walked past the Build-A-Bear, and it was alomost like I could see Griffin in there, laughing that adorable laugh of his. I remember how hillarious he was when the guy was stuffing the bear, and Grif was cracking up! I can't explain the feeling, but I know for sure that right that instant, Griffin was right there with us. Oh how I miss him, and I can only imagine how you all feel. He has forever got a place in my heart.
Blakey - you are growing up so fast! I can't believe you are in school! I bet you have got to be the cutest boy in the class, huh? Logan loves his school, and he really likes his teacher. I am really glad that your teacher knew Griffin. Learn a whole bunch for us, and keep having a great time!
We love you guys, and hope to see you soon!

Hi Monique,
Congratulations on your new job and for having the courage to move ahead and accept change. You continue to be an inspiration to me. To see how you face each unknown challenge despite the pain of unimaginable loss gives me much hope. I am at times filled with fear about facing the unknown changes ahead as I contemplate a new career. Reading you journal helps me to see how minor my obstacles are compared with those of yours and Barry's. I also feel humbled by my own selfish narrow sightedness and grateful when I consider that maybe my purpose in this life was to be the father of you and your 4 sisters so that a beacon like Griffin could be born and bring light to countless lives. God bless you and our family.
Love,
Dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRIFFIN!

I love you soo much! I know you had a great birthday in heaven. Another memory that popped into my head was when we were in Hawaii and we were playing pool in the Game Room and the pool sticks (or whatever u call them) were too long for Griffin, so we had to twist the bottom part off and Griffin had a mini stick. IT was soo funny and cute. I miss you a lot Griffin and when I'm feeling down, i squeeze the build-a-bear monkey u made that says "I love you Allie" and it makes me feel better.
Lots of Love,

I even made a shirt that says it and on the back it says "in memory of Griffin Yarbrough" it means a lot to me and i wear it all the time. Griffy is such a big inspiration!

My favorite memories of Griffin were from our Hawaii trip. I remember he and Koa Kung Fu fighting in the airport. They may have even been bothering people, but were having so much fun. I also remember one day after swimming. Griffin came into our room to relax on the bed and enjoy the air conditioning. He lay all stretched out with just his swim trunks on, and we watched the History Channel together. I think the show was the history of gasoline or something, but he watched it anyway.
Bob <binn@comcast.net>

My favorite memory of Griffin was at Magic Mountain. We were in the younger kids area and there was a small roller coaster called Goliath Junior. It was nothing like any of the other roller coasters I went on with Barry, but Griffin insisted I go on it. We ended up going on it 20 times in a row. I still have picture of Griffin and I screaming on this tiny little roller coaster. It was truely a good moment.
Hope you have a good birthday in heaven.

Happy Birthday Griffy....I hope you are having an awesome birthday in heaven filled with all your favorite things. I think about you everyday,little ninja,and love you very much.

I will never forget our big family trip to Hawaii. The last time I had seen Griffin,he was just a baby. I was amazed how much energy he had. He was so playful and so full of life. It took him a little while to get use to me but once he figured out that I was Max and Cary's mom,I was cool.Almost every evening after a day spent swimming and playing, Griffin would call our hotel room. He would ask for Max or Cary(he would switch off as not to hurt either of their feelings)and then my teenage boys would stop what ever they were doing (even t.v. watching) and spend the evening playing with Griffin and all of their younger cousins. They would come home tired but with a big smile on their face and a story about Griffin and Blakey. Griffin had such a gift to bring out the fun and playfulness in people.He made everyone feel so important and loved. My last time I saw Griffin was athe the airport In Hawaii. He and Mo had to take an early morning flight so he could get a blood transfusion before he flew to L.A. Cary and I were running through the airport. We went in the gift shop,so we werelate and lost our Seattle bound group. Somehow,through all the chaos.we ran into Mo and Griffy. He gave and told us how much he loved us. It was so sweet and pure,and will always stay with me.

One of my favorite was when we were at California Adventure and he talked me into going on Tower of Terror. He said it's not that scarey. He had the biggest grin on his face. I went on and screamed and dug my nails into Monique's leg. When we got off he was laughing. You will always be in my heart and mind. Love Cathy and the Olson Family.

Happy Birthday Griffin! Hope you are celebrating with tons of red mountain dew and skittles.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Griffin in person, but I had the chance to know him second-hand through his aunts roxy and sara. The other day I was sitting at lunch feeling a little blue about school and work and the situation of the world in general. Two ladybugs, one with a ton of spots and one with none, landed on my arms and made me smile. I just knew Griffin was somehow involved.
Mo, Barry and Blake-You all are constantly in my thoughts. Hope you are enjoying your time with Rox and Russell.

Happy Birthday, Griffin. I have no doubt you are having an amazing heaven birthday. You wouldn't have it any other way. I'm thinking about and missing you every day.

One of my best memories of you was when we went grocery shopping at Ralph's. You were four. You insisted on doing all the work. You pushed the cart and picked out all our food. I don't remember all that we bought, but it was a lot of stuff considering we only needed food for breakfast in the morning! You then unloaded everything at the check out counter. Some of the items were heavy, but you refused help and did it all yourself. Everyone in the store was watching you and cheered when you finished. Even the guys behind us in line who were buying a couple cases of beer gave you high fives when you accomplished this feat. That was the first time of many that I saw how many people in this world were drawn to you. You were like a people magnet, catching the attention of many strangers. It was amazing to watch. I was always so happy to be part of your family.

Mo, Barry, and Blake - I hope you are enjoying the beach and are surrounded by many who love you.

I'm getting my kids some skittles today so they can celebrate your birthday to ..

Happy Birthday Griffin!
Logan and I were talking and he has two favorite memories of you. Of course his ultimate fav is the time that you met at Children's, and you and he and Blake all played swordfighters and it was as though you had known each other all of your lives! His second favorite was at Peyton's Build A Bear Birthday Party. He can remember you showing him how to do this because you "were a pro" at this. We sure do love you buddy, and we miss you like crazy. I can only imagine the birthday party you are having today! I bet theres lots of red mountain dew!
We love you big guy!

I always loved watching Griffy and Pey say goodbye. It was always so heartfelt and full of emotion and everyone who watched knew that they connected on a level that probably none of us will ever fully understand. I think Griffin's smile will be forever etched in my memory. The first time he thought I was cool was when he learned that I could play video games...then we spent the afternoon on the jumpaline (or trampoline to those other than Peyton) with all the kids piled on top of me. I know Grif will have a heck of a birthday party up there! I love and miss you all. Give Blakey kisses for me.

Hey you guys! This is Mary Elisha's mom. I just wanted to say hi and I am thinking about you all. I think about you all often. I did not get the pleasure of spending too much time around Griffin accept a few times in the clinic. I remember him being very cute and funny. I told him I thought he was cute and he told me he did not like that. Another time I was trying to encourage Elisha and tell him that the Emla cream was what spider man used to develope his webs and Griffin heard me and said that was not true and asked me why I was telling a lie. He totally caught me off gaurd!! Prayers and hugs to you all!!

Griffin was sweet enough to leave me with memories that will last me until I see him again in Heaven. Some of my favorites: Griffy let me be on his team. He told me I burped really good for a girl, so that was my super power!! Then there was the time he tried to teach me to hip hop dance, the time we had a french fry eating contest at McDonald's, the time I ALMOST got a picture of him playing tea party with Peyton, picking Grif up from school early so we could play hookey and go see a movie, and watching him play basketball with my nephews and then lovingly calling them "the cousins" the rest of the day. And the rest of my favorite memories were of Grif's last days. He was worried God wouldn't remember his birthday and he wouldn't have any more birthday parties. I told him God made his birthday, so his parties in Heaven would be awesome:) Grif and I also spent most of our time talking about Jesus and His days on earth and what He does from Heaven. Griffin was fascinated by the Bible stories I read to him and we had some really awesome talks. He was also so great to take time to let me tell him what he meant to me and to tell me what I meant to him. And I know I've told you this many times, but Barry and Mo, thank you so much for sharing your son with us. He has been such a blessing in our lives. We love you Grif, and we miss you every day.

One of my memories with Griffin was when we were in Hawaii, and he would make up games. I remember one game was pirates and aliens. I was always on the bad team, and Griffin would tell everyone where to go and what to do.
Also, in November when I came to visit, We played with a toy that Griffin had and we called him Zachariah and Zachariah was an evil animal, and he would attack me and Blake, and Griffin was the animal control so he would hit Zachariah with the plastic swords. Griffin left me with many memories and I will cherish them always.

On one of our visits, Griff had just learned to ride his "big wheel" trike. We had just gotten our digital camera, and I was showing him his photo image after we took his picture. He thought that was SO cool. He asked me to take a picture of him on his Big Wheel, and then wanted to see it. Then he would pose a different way on his Big Wheel, and say "Take another picture Grandma", and ask to see it. Next he would race by, and say "Take one now Grandma!" and wanted to see it. We must have taken 15 or 20 photos of him on his trike... all of them with the famous Griffin smile. It was so fun and his love of life was so infectious. I miss our boy.

Griffin was in the PICU here in LA. He'd just had his brain surgery and was swollen, bruised and puffy. He hadn't been saying much, it'd been a long day and he was obviously tired.

He was getting ready for the transfer to the floor. Mo, I think you had taken a load of stuff upstairs and to see if you could get a "B bed". Barry, you asked him how he wanted to travel up to the 4th floor - did he want to be wheeled on his bed, or would he like to go in the wagon?

He took a big deep breath and in a big voice he says "Wagon, Baby!"

It was the funniest thing I think I had ever heard him say - looking as sick as he did he was still up for some fun!

Since we were just at Planet Pizza with you guys, I remember when Griffin kept coming back over to you for quarters to put them in the machine to get Yu Gi Oh necklaces. He wanted to make sure that everyone had one. He handed them out so proudly. I also remember the last week he was at the house and getting blood every week. You never would have known how sick he was the way he was racing with the kids down the sidewalk and jumping in the pool with them with all their clothes on! He would stop for a few seconds, take a quick deep breath and keep going. He was so energetic with a real spirit about him. Blakey is alot like him. Sophie asked me the other day if I thought all those balloons made it to Griffin. I told her that they sure did and everytime you see a balloon you can think of Griffin. They think of him all the time and Ryan knows he's in heaven so it gives me comfort to know they understand that there is a bigger better place to be and they better make the most out of their time here. Thank you for being a great friend and sharing Griffey with us. We love you guys and will miss you when we're in Chicago. -Jill

I remember going to Magic Mountain with Griffin when he was four and I was six. We were on the pirate ship ride. I was almost sick. Lucas and Griffin were singing the pirate song from Peter Pan.

I never knew Griffin personally, only through this site. I do remember, though, the first time I found this site that when I saw his picture on the homepage, I was hooked. He had such a beautiful smile and just won my heart right then. You will be in my prayers.

I had a lot of memories with Griffin towards the end of his life, but in that small time he taught me so much. He told you exactly what he wanted and was realistic about life beyond his years. One of my fondest memories of Griff in the hospital in Dallas was when I was leaving my shift. I always went back into his room right before I left to tell him goodbye. I was walking out and Griffin called me back over to say "I want to give you a hug. I love you so much. Are you gonna be my nurse tomorrow?" Even though he couldn't see any longer, I am sure that he could probably imagine the expression on my face- his words meant so much to me.

Dallas, TX - Monday, July 4, 2005 9:45 PM CDT

I obviously have a million memories of Griffin, I could write a novel. One funny memory is when he was in the hospital in Dallas, everyone was warned to not call him honey, sweetie, or baby, his name was Griffin! Russell and I were sitting with him in his bed, and I made a comment to Russell calling him honey. Griffin was not happy with that! He told me "Don't call him honey! He is on my team!" One of Griffin's many many amazing traits was telling people exactly how he felt, you knew if you did something he didn't like. Another memory that shows that, was right after his brain surgery. When he was in the ICU, I didn't know what to expect when I went into see him. I was relieved to see Griffin asking for food and telling a nurse "My name is not Sweetie! Its Griffin or Griffey!" I love you so much Griffey, we all are and will continue to be better, stronger people because of you.

The day Griffin visited the police department is a day I will treasure for the rest of my life. There were so many wonderful memories from that day. My favorite, is when I got to drive him around our academy driving track. We were chasing "bad guy" Dane. Griffin had NO fear driving a little fast and talking on the police radio. (Alot of police officers aren't that calm when they talk on the radio). He said everything I told him to say like a pro. When the chase ended, he told Dane to "pull over, your surrounded." I am so happy we were able to get that day on video. I have watched it several times. I love and miss Griffin so much. I have also fallen in love with your family. You are all always in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so glad you had a blast at your party Blake, sounds like it was so much fun! What strikes me about Griffin's message is how he said that he knew Blake would not have seen him for a long time... For a six year old to be able to look that far ahead, worry about his brother and leave a message for him like that is just so amazing to me. It's just more evidence that he was here only for a short time, but a special purpose. I can't wait to see you guys in LA! Love always,

Hi guys....it was so wonderful to finally meet you, and put faces to the names. I hope the family reunions become a tradition for you...as you see, they can be a fun bunch.
The balloons were such a wonderful way to include griffin in the festivities! I know that he loved it. :) Hope you are rested up from your trip, and also hope to see you again soon. Maybe next time we meet we will have more time to just sit and chat...I would enjoy that. I'm so glad you enjoyed the reunion! Hey to Blake, and again, happy birthday!! Love Janet

Hey Guys! Happy belated Blake-Day and Dads Day. I have been thinking about all of you a lot lately... but especially Griffin. We have had SO MANY ladybugs at Taco Del Mar this summer. I don't ever remember there being a single lady bug there before! Really! And some are so cool ... Red, Orange, Yellow, and today I saw a black one with Red Spots! How cool Griff! Bella has a tradition of scouting out balloons at the mall, Costco, restaurants, etc. She takes the balloons outside, kisses them, rubs them in her hair (so Griffin will smell it and know it's from her!) and says "I love you Griffin" then we all hold on and say "We love you Griffin" and let go of the string on the count of 3. Thank you for the sweet memory of Griffin and his freckle. One more thing to make me love him even more. Missing all of you,

Happy Birthday Blake, I hope you have a fantastic day. Happy Father's Day Barry. I'm sure it is great to be with your family for the reunion.

I had a dream about Griffin. In it, he was playing a "cops and robbers" game with another little blonde haired boy that looked about his same age. Griffin, of course was the cop. They were having the best time running and laughing...until I said, "Sweetie, you look like you are having so much fun". Griffin stopped right in his tracks, stopped smiling and said "Don't call me sweetie"! Then the dream ended. Sorry Griffin, I am used to being around a little girl that I say that to.

Monique I think about you and your family all the time. As always, you are in my every prayer.

I know you will have such a fun Nemo pool party, I just wish I could be there with you! So, a few days ago when Russell was at work at LAX, he walked into the office and there was a yu-gi-oh card that had slipped under the door. It is in Korean, so I don't know the character's name. I know Russell was touched to have received this. We love you so much Griffin, you will always be in our hearts and thoughts.

Wow!!! What a great tribute to Griffy, the yearbook collage is great! We are missing you guys and counting the days till we get to be at the beach together. Happy almost B-day Blakey!!! Jesse is swimming like a fish also.. He is soooo excited to see you! Aimee is sad that Griffy won't be with her to play at the beach, a few tears these past few nights.. But somehow Griffin finds a way to settle her heart and has a way of saying "It's OK Aimee.." She says she plans to make a sand castle with him anyway.. even if he is not able to help me with his hands mom, he (Griffin) will tell me what to build!Thank you for allowing my daughter to be so touched by your Son!I worried that she would forget him.. when she talks to him I know that He will never let her forget! Have a great reunion next week. We will be talking soon . All our love!

Thank you again for sharing them. Everytime I hear a story about Griffin, I get even more awestruck about what a remarkable child he was. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about him now. I hope we can see one another soon again.

Monique,
We spent Sunday night watching Griffin movies. Thank you for allowing us to have the DVD movies of Griffin. I am so grateful for this technology and your time spent taking photos and videotaping throughout the years. Seeing his laughing face helps me to remember that Griffin is happy now ... and that I can be happy for him too. We love you.

I hope you dont mind, its just, everytime I look at it, it makes me fight so much harder because Griffin is a huge inspiration to me, he is my hero and I only wish I could have met him.

Just sending a little hello just because. I cant imagine how you must feel when people ask about your children not knowing what you have gone through with Griffin. If I only knew how to really help you out.
Another time when I signed the guestbook I tried to add a picture I drew for Griffin and it didnt work but i think i know how now. so here it is..

I too thought that picture of Blake was Griff. I think the color red helped too!
Thanks for the Blake story. My boys were always thrilled to wear the cup. I think it made them feel more manly or something! There was the time one of them put it on upsidedown and went to bball walking like a cowboy. Or the time one of them wore it to bed over his pajamas. I am so glad you are still able to find joy with Blake and document it not only for all of us, but for you and he to look back on one day. A part of Griffin is living on in Blake, and Griffin would have wanted Blake to do all the things he wasn't able to ever do. Wishing you a wonderful Mother's Day weekend filled with lots of little Blake joys and some warm memories of Griffin. I love you.

Hi Yarbrough family,

I just wanted to check in on Griffin and see how you guys were doing. I love always seeing new pictures of the boys. Blake sure does look like he's having a lot of fun playing TBall. It was so weird to read that you wrote that one picture reminded you of Griffin, I saw the picture and thought the exact same thing, "Gee that looks like Griffin". Always makes me smile. I hope that you all will get to enjoy Mother's Day on Sunday, I'll be sending good thoughts and wishes your way. Love, Melissa

Monique,
I have never had the pleasure of meeting you, nor did I have the honor of personally knowing your sweet Griffin. But your words always touch my heart and I just wanted to tell you that I really think it is more that people just don't know what to say when they meet or see you. They wonder if by asking how you are doing if it will just dampen your day if it is going well or if continuing to make you talk about Griffin just makes you sadder. I believe the answer to those questions is simply that you can never speak of Griffin too much and even though it may be painful, he is still so much a part of your lives that he must be talked about so that everyone gets to know him better who didn't have the pleasure before. Please know though, that most of the time, it is simply a question of not knowing what is best and easiest for you. I have so enjoyed getting to know Griffin and your brave, strong family on this website and thank-you for that pleasure. I think of you so often and pray for your continued strength.
Peace to you and your family.

That picture of Grif at the water park reminds me of the talk we were having when I took the photo. He told me he was cold after getting out of the pool. I was telling him that when "I was little" I used to lay down on the pavement to warm up. He said, "Grandma ... you were LITTLE???" Then he burst out laughing. Then he said "I'm still cold Grandma" He was sooooooooo funny!
Grif, I love you to the moon and back

Glendale, CA - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 6:09 PM CDT

Mo,
I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you today and missing Griffey. I wish that things would have been different for you and I and our boys. Who knew that when we met 4 years ago our lives would be consummed with missing our sons "forever" together. I wish things could have been liked we planned; Friends forever, our boys best friends forever on earth, and never forgetting where we've been. I just know that Griffey and Ryan are smiling down at us that we are forever friends. Everyday when we talk and help each other get through the day, they are proud of us. Living our lives the best way we know how without them, makes them smile. Never letting anyone forget them or what they went through, or how they changed so many lives, is our passion. Our children maybe gone from this earth but never ever from our hearts and souls. I love you and wish I could hug you right now. Tell Blake that I love his thought of hot air balloon rides to heaven. If only heaven were just a balloon ride away, would help us get through this life without our precious sons. To just get to hold them for a minute, hug and kiss them, see their smiles and hear their voices would get us through. Don't ever forget that one perfect day we will be all together again. love ya

Although I only had the honor to meet Griffin once, I'll never forget him. That was I have to say one of the most memorable days I've lived. And he was SO grown up. To make videos for you, and calling everyone. That's something even adults aren't mature enough to do.

Thank you for making Griffin such a great little boy. I'm sure Blake learned a lot from Griffin. (including his dancing skills) :)

Hi Monique, Barry and Blake, what a great thought to be able to take a balloon ride up to heaven. I wish you could. I wish so much that Griffin was still with you. It tears my heart out knowing that you can't hold him. If it is OK, I would love to see the videos sometime. I enjoy learning more about Griffin and also getting to know you. I think about you all every day. We weren't able to send up balloons last week, but I PROMISE to send some up on his birthday in July.

Hey guys. We bought 4 red, heart-shaped balloons that said "I love you" on them. We stood in the front yard (after the tornado had passed!) and took turns saying why we love Grif, and then we released our balloons. Dane loves Griffin because he was the best partner ever; Lindsay loves Griffin because he had a smile and laugh that lit up whatever room he was in; Peyton loves Griffin because he's in heaven and is getting his farm ready for us to see, and I love Griffin because he loved to hear about Jesus and then tell other people about Him.

Courtney, Kelly, and Paige released balloons too! They sent up 15 red balloons.

We love you guys. Happy "No more bad guys" day. We love you all...

We've been thinking about you all day. Sorry I didn't get a chance to call. Bob and I are heading to Winthrop for the next few days, so you can call me there if you need to talk.

Koa and I celebrated Griffin with film canister rockets. I can easily imagine his big grin and huge laugh everytime one of the rockets popped. Thanks to Susan Katris, Lucas and a few fellow boy scouts released balloons to Griffin right before their scout meeting. We talk about and celebrate Griffy everyday, but today was really special. I remember all of us being with him that week before transplant. How he loved all those dress up clothes! You made this time of year so special for him (as he deserved). We love you guys.

I just wanted to tell you what an honor it was to finally get to meet you today. I have followed your story for so long. I posted to your site and my sons how much Griffin effected me with his battle and his passing. He and Parker are practically the same age and frankly resemble one another. You are such a brave, strong woman. I admire how gracefully you have honored your son. It really was a pleasure to finally meet you. We will check back in on you soon.

Just stopping by to tell you that I'm going balloon shopping tomorrow so I'll be ready Monday.

Blakey, I just saw your picture with the yellow bucket on your head. Today I went to the Zoo and our tour guide told us that the handlers spray perfume inside buckets (for a new enrichment adventure for the animals) and the wild donkey likes to swing the bucket on his head. I bet he'd look just like you, but I don't think his bucket is yellow.

I miss Griffin, even though I have never met him the stories of the life he lived really help me in my battles against cancer and push me through the daily ups and downs. You truely have an amazing son!

Monique, Thank you for you beautiful, touching journal entries. I am so grateful Blake, Barry and you were able to go as a family to the support group. It is wonderful to hear Barry was able to support both you and Blake .. I am sure he also got a lot out of it as well. I love you all so much! My heart aches for you and your family .. I can only image how difficult it is to deal with the loss of Griffin .. I also am consumed with anguish and immense sadness .. as I attempt to imagine how hard this journey must be. Now that I also am I mother .. and have experienced the overwhelming love a mother has for her child .. and especially for your firstborn. A love which continues to grow and strengthen with every moment and memory you create and share with that child .. and yet this still comes short of what you and your family must be experiencing. Griffin was such a remarkable, awesome, fun loving, courageous, humorous, daring, spunky, adventurous, bold, fearless, amusing, delightful, entertaining, funny, humorous, happy, cool little dude with such an incredible passion for life and everyone around him. He saw the best in each and everyone of us even when we didn�t. He made the simplest joys into the most amazing and incredible experiences. He was never shy or cautious to tell you like it is and exactly what he thought .. even if it was to lavish you with compliments from the heart about how much he loved you and how you were the best ever! You and Barry helped him live out all his wildest dreams and gave him the most incredible life .. were he always had fun no matter what. He got so much of his inspiring spirit and zest for life from you both. Luckily part of Griffin is in each one of us now, and we are filled with so many remarkable memories of Griffin. I was so thrilled to read that you and Blake listened to �Let�s Get it Started� .. such a wonderful Griffy song. I got such a great visual of Blakey dancing up on the table .. just as Griffy loved to do. I bet Griffin was grinning up in heaven as he watched the two of you enjoying all of his favorite songs. Monique I am so proud of your strength, courage and your ability to be so honest and write from the heart. Despite the great distance between us .. I am confident we will be able to remain closer than ever. I am always here if you need me. Barry, Griffin, Blake and you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. We talk about Griffin often. Dean always talks about Griffy�s red balloons.

Hi Blake
A couple of weeks ago I was taking care of a little Yorkie and while I was sleeping, she must have decided to dance on the coffee table (and a couple of other tables), too. She wasn't very careful, and there were a few broken 'treasures' on the floor. I wonder if she had as much fun as you. I hope so!

So glad to hear there was some hip-hop dancing in your house once again! And a spotlight dancer no less. Lucas and Koa both love to dance, and I know it is because of all the dancing they did with Griffy and Blake in November. Everytime we hear the Black Eyed Peas song we all say it is a Griffin song. Thanks for sharing the Hawaii pictures. Such wonderful memories of that week watching all the cousins run around with such a healthy Griffin (or so he seemed). Love you guys. Talk to you soon.

Monique, thank you so much for the visit today. It was wonderful getting to spend time with you, Blake, Peyton and Marni. If it is possible, I hope we can get together often. It was wonderful hearing the stories about Griffin. The more I find out about him, the more awestruck I become. What a kid! Trust me, you all are in my every prayer. Blake is a real cutie.

Although everyone tells us we are so strong and so brave, it is nice to see we are all human and desperately long for our missing child. I must have second guessed myself millions of times. I still do. Unfortunately, you will always have a hole in your heart, but the whole also gets filled with precious memories that as a mother, no one can take away.
Love...Trisha

Hey Mo,
So this afternoon, I was washing some dishes and something caught my eye, I looked down and there was a lady bug sitting on a dish towel on our stove. A feeling of comfort and warmth came over me, it was amazing. I picked it up, it crawled over my hand for a few minutes, then I let it go outside and it zoomed away high in the sky. Thank you Griffin, I know you are looking over us. I love you and miss you so much.

I had such a great weekend in Dallas. Its hard to be so far away, I am so grateful to have spent Easter with you. Hey Blakey, my bear Duke has a spot on our bed and I love hearing your and Griffey's voices. Russell and I will be in Dallas soon so he can take you down the big slide.

I love you all so very much!

Hi Guys,
Mo Thanks for the call yesterday before Jesse's party. You are the best freind..Jesse had a great day. Hard to believe our boys are 4 year olds.. The kids were playing on the playset and found some of Griffs army toys, Aimee and Jesse have insisted that we leave them there, because Griffin is going to fly by one night and pick them up and take them to heaven.It was so nice to see those toys make so many kids smile yesterday. Griffin is still truly with us!I was cleaning Aimees room today and found her "shrine" to Griffin. You may remember me telling you about the horse box with the rocks in front of it and the Yugio cards inside? Well, down under the Yugio cards was a note that read "Dear God, take care of Grifiin and please let me see him soon" Another reminder of how much he has left a mark on our hearts.. Thank you again for sharing and blessing us with him. We love you and miss you.. Looking forward to summer and the beach.

I wish I had know Griffin and his loving spirit. I know that you will be a wonderful volunteer!
I think it is great that Blake is taking art classes and learning about famous artists. I always choose a few of the masterpieces that are in our St. Louis Art Museum, and have the children recreate them.
And HOPEFULLY the parents will take them to see the real thing. There are so many wonderful children's books about the artists or their subjects, too. In May we will 'study' the French impressionists.

I love seeing the pictures of Griffin and Blake....those smiles: Wow!

You made some terrific suggestions and I hope we are able to implement them soon. I am sorry you got away before I could give you a hug - I truly wanted to hug you!

Dear Monique, Barry and Blake,
How wonderful for you to travel to Seattle to spend time with the family, especially during the Springtime. 'The cousins' all have such fun together and I bet the 'aunts and uncles' kept you very busy. It is always nice to get home too, especially because of Easter. I know you had a great time celebrating with Blake. I am sorry that he hurt his foot and we hope it feels better real soon! Your memories of Griffin are so vivid and the description of your memories are so beautiful. He will always be near each of you. Love and prayers, Aunt Linda

Hi guys,
I miss you Blakey! You are the best flying super hero I know. Hope you had a blast with Aunt Roxie for Easter. Bella saw a big Easter Bunny and Red Robin, and she was more afraid of them than Chuckie Cheese! Remember the super ball you gave her (that you got with all your Chuckie Cheese tickets)? She calls it her "Blakey Ball". I'm sending you a great big wet Grandma kiss!

Griffin, I love you to the moon and back!

That broke my heart reading what Blake said outside Griffin's school,i to wish he was still here and i never got the pleasure of meeting him but i just know he was an adorable character and the smile .. geez it gets me everytime.
I tried to go to his other website but it kept saying i needed a password ???? I want to find some information on anyone doing research into neuroblastoma so we can get it on Cancer Warriors webpage,can you email me any info you have when you get a chance.

Sorry it's been a while since I left a message, I do read often, I do come and check to see if you updated but don't always know what to say. I did want to let you guys know that I am always thinking of you. I know I told you about my mom and her history with cancer, and even though it is not of the same caliber as losing your child, I lost her on March 2nd. It is bittersweet, she is better now and one is supposed to bury their parents not the other way around. And even though I don't have kids and may not be fully able to comprehend the loss, I can still feel for you and your family. I saw Evy yesterday and she showed me pics of a BBQ that was had in Dallas and I saw Barry. I hope that you are all hanging in there and I do think of you all so often. Take Care...

He was such an amazing boy that left his mark on everyone he knew! Many people don't leave that kind of legacy if they lived 100 years. He continues to bless people everyday. He is still leaving his mark at the feet of Jesus and through you guys on this earth.

Hey Guys,
So happy to hear you are going to Seattle. What a treat to visit with everyone. Hello to all your family.. We miss you. I was so excited to see Grif with Dr. Stein in the pics... I will be sure to show him the pic tomorrow when we are in clinic. I was just talking with a family today about Neuroblastoma and Griffin. Amazing to see another family just starting their journey with this disease. They seemed to actually have a sense of peace as we spoke. Even after I had told them that Griffin was in Heaven now. Seems as if Griffin may have actually been in the room with me giving me the right words to say. I was a little afraid of how I was going to handle the "next case" that came my way after Griffin passing. Somehow it seemed very peaceful for me. Thanks Grif!! You continue to amaze me.
Hugs and kisses to you all

Bella pretends to talk to Blakey on her play phone all the time ... we saw the movie "Robots" today ... maybe Blakey would like to see it with us (and all his cousins!) when you visit.

I just wanted to give you a hug today and let you know I think about Griffin every day. I never met him but I miss him if that makes sense. Maybe that is how we know he is so close to God, if people who never met him can miss him and still feel his impact. I love the new pictures, he looked so happy all the time and his courage and strength have always amazed me. Thank you for sharing his life with all of us.

Hi guys,
So happy to here that Camp was great. I knew it would be just what you needed. Sounds like Griffin is in great company in that special place we call heaven. I can't wait to sit down and talk with him again, myself! We love and miss you also Griffy.
Hugs to you all

Hi there-

I've had Griffin on my mind today and had a dream about Monique last night! Have no idea what the dream was - I just hate that! So I stop by his site and see that precious new picture smiling right at me! I love it!

I hope you enjoyed your camping trip! It sounds like a great thing!

Have a wonderful week and know that you are thought of often :)

He was and will always be a very special boy! You guys will continue to be in my prayers, but also know that Griffy is still with you everyday. When you get a chance, check out Angel Cheyenne's site (www3.caringbridge.org/tx/cheyenne5) and read what her dad wrote about Cheyenne's "visits". I for one believe every word and I'm convinced that our "Angels" are here with us every day! I believe that Griffy is with you every day and can hear you, so please tell him that Bulldawg loves him, and ask him to save us a place!

When I think about Griffin, I think about his cute, toothless grin. I am sorry about what has happened, and i wish i could've done something, but there's nothing we could do. I just like to think that he is in heaven which is like paradise compared to earth, and keep thinking to myself that although Griffin is no longer on earth with us, he does not have to experience anymore pain that he had to go through. I also think to myself that someday we will all see him again in heaven and we will NEVER have to worry about Griffin and his cancer.

Hello everyone, thank you for the new pictures of your precious boys. Ladybugs have always been a favorite of my daughter, they are even more special knowing how much Griffin likes them also. It is funny how much more I notice ladybugs now. I think about ya'll all the time. Peyton and her family are very special, I'm glad you have them in your lives. The only time I met Courtney was at the service for Griffin. Everyone kept saying there is just something about her. I agree, she is without a doubt heaven sent.

Blakie, Monique and Barry,
Last night Bella and I were watching our video tape of the show Presideo (sp) where Griffin was in the episode. I'm not sure where Griffin was, just that he was in the background. But Bella was sure it was him, riding in a red wagon. She saw him and began singing a Griffin song she made up on the spot. I rewound the tape, and thought it might be him too... smiling and covering his ears and ducking into the wagon. Was that him, or was he in a different shot? I miss our boy so much. Thinking of you, and wishing I could send a real hug your way.

Love, Grandma Lucinda

Barry, Monique, and Blake:
We just wanted to let you know that we think of Griffin everyday and what an impact he made in the lives of the all the people who knew him and for those of us who just came to love him through others. Many people who lived decades of years longer than Griffin had an chance to live haven't touched and changed nearly as many lives. You are very blessed to have had a son and brother like Griffin. But remember that God not only blessed Griffin but He chose to you as his parents and brother.
We are praying for God's loving arms to continue to hold you tight.

"My last breath did not say goodbye. For my love for you is truly timeless, and beyond the touch of death. I leave myself to your memory with love. I leave my thoughts, my laughter, my dreams, to you whom I have treasured beyond gold and precious gems. I give you what no thief can steal, the memories of our times together, the tender love filled moments, the successes we shared, the hard times that brought us closer together and roads we have walked side by side. I also leave you a solemn promise that even though I am home with God, I will still be present, whenever and wherever you call on me. All I take with me, as I leave, is your love and the millions of memories of all that we shared. I truly enter my new life as a millionare. Thank you, fear not, nor grieve too long at my departure. For my roots and yours, are forever intertwined."

I lifted that from another site. Just stopping by to let you know that you are all still in my thoughts and prayers.

Just wanted to say I think and pray for your family always. Reading your update about Griffin's toys...don't rush. What's rush? Who knows! It could be months, it could be years. Do what you feel is right in your heart, mind, and soul. January was 2 yrs. since Adam became an angel...guess what...his toys are the way he left them...his room is the way he left it. Is this healthy some people ask? Define healthy when you lose your child. Only you as a mother and family know what is best for you. Follow God and your heart. Listen to him, he knows, he lost a son.

Well, I too emailed a couple of times last year...regarding CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS. Guess what...one step closer to the OPRAH SHOW for Childhood Cancer Awareness. My husband and I just returned from Washington D.C. for our Team Leadership visits on Capitol Hill with the Congressmen and Senators for CureSearch (visit www.curesearch.org), and they are in the process of taping a show. Details are still being worked out. We should be notified as Team Leaders as to when it will air, so check for updates on either our site (www.caringbridge.org/tx/adamculliver or www.curesearch.org). Also, CureSearch has a new program called "Coaching for a Cure"...check it out...a great idea since everyone is so sports minded nowdays. Turning coaches gifts into money for childhood cancer awareness is an awesome idea. We had the opportunity to meet with the lady that started the program this week and it is spreading like fire, more than she herself could keep up with. She has united with CureSearch and is the consultant for the program.

We pray for your family and know the loss you feel. We follow you through your friend Peyton White.

Always,
Angel Adam's Mom

Your idea about contacting OPRAH reminded me of a little boy from the Chicago area and his battle with NB. I have been following his journey on his website www.justforjake.com Anyway, you might want to take a look at this site and see what his family is doing. They have probably already contacted OPRAH, but you never know. Just an idea.

Ventura, CA USA - Thursday, February 17, 2005 5:52 PM CST

Hi everyone. Here is what I just sent off to the producers of the Oprah Winfrey Show. Please submit your letter today! They must get thousands and thousands of story ideas. The more they get about childhood cancer the better chance we have to get the word out.

I am writing to tell you about a warrior, my grand-nephew Griffin Yarbrough. Griffin was indeed a GRAND nephew. He was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma at age two and a half. From this point on, he became a warrior - fighting his "bad-guys" with a sense of whimsy and maturity seen in few people. He was always able to see the positive side of any situation and make those around him smile. During the course of his treatment, he lost many teeth due to the decay caused by the chemo. Those that were not pulled were capped. Griffin looked in the mirror and said, "Cool, I look like a pirate. At least I get to see silver now and not yellow." After many surgeries, uncountable rounds of chemo, radiation, and a stem cell transplant, Griffin died at age six and a half on January 4, 2005. He said he was not tired of fighting his "bad-guys," but his body was. In the days before he died, he found out everything he could about heaven. He was thrilled to know there would be gates guarded by Gabe and Mike (as he referred to Gabriel and Michael) to keep the "bad-guys" out. One of his last requests was for everyone he knew to tell the rest of the world about a boy named Griffin who was so strong and brave and to let everyone know that even with the best doctors, the best treatment, the best prayers, and the toughest warriors fighting, kids are still dying from cancer. Childhood cancer is under funded and not talked about. Perhaps you can do a show to help change this so boys and girls like Griffin don't have to fight so long and so hard to end up dying anyway. To read more about Griffin, you can go to www.griffinyarbrough.com. Thanks for taking the time to consider this! Nan Inn>

Yesterday I handed out my green bracelets to my Kindergarteners. I told them that the bracelets were to remind us of Griffin's battle and hopefully when they were adults no child would die from having cancer. I gave more out to fellow teachers and Nick and Allie were popular handing a few to their friends. I may end up ordering more.
If you are interested in writing Oprah-you need to go to Oprah.com go to email about show ideas. I suggested she do a Mother's Day show with all Moms of kids battling cancer. You Moms are all my heros!! We can continue to spread Griffin's legacy by talking about him and raising more awareness to others. Love you all-

I know you think I fell off the face of the planet after last Sunday...I sorta did. Our email at work has been screwed up and I haven't checked it from home as I should. We also have been so preoccupied with the BMA results! We finally found out on Wednesday afternoon that his marrow is "squeaky clean" Thank God!

Instead of talking about more treatment, we are talking about going to the Big Apple Circus in Atlanta!! So, as you said in your email message to me, spots sometimes do show up and it is NOT always cancer!! I hope they just eventually disappear off the CT so we don't have to do a biopsy or even some sort of removal.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I do still want to call you and talk about Griffin. I just am so overwhelmed with stuff right now....I did save your number and I will be calling maybe Sunday night.

From one cancer mommie to another,
Kim Booth

Monique, Barry and Blake,
This poem below reminded me SO much of Griffin, and how he lived his life. One such instance was the first day I came to visit him in the hospital in December. Having seen him just 2 weeks earlier, I was shocked, when first seeing him, by how much he had changed physically. Trying to hold back tears, I didn't know what, or how, to say all that I was thinking. Knowing that Griffin didn't like seeing me cry, I was trying to think of something to say to "lift" him up in some small way. Of course, it was Griffin who spoke first, by saying "Hey Grandma, how was your Christmas"... being the one to lift me up. In his pain and uncertainty of impending death, he thought of me first. I miss his outlook on life, and his sweet smile, and his pranks, and everything about him. I am honored and blessed to have known him.
Love, Lucinda

Let Me Give

I do not know how long I'll live
But while I live, Lord, let me give
Some comfort to someone in need
By smile or nod, kind word or deed

And let me do what ever I can
To ease things for my fellow man
I want naught but to do my part
To "lift" a tired or weary heart

To change folks' frowns to smiles again
Then I will not have lived in vain
And I'll not care how long I'll live
If I can give... and give... and give

Thank you for sharing Griffin with all of us. Everytime I come and see his big toothless grin, I can't keep from smiling myself. I can't imagine how hard your days are but I hope you can find some comfort knowing that so many people are praying for you.

Monique- I too feel helpless that I can not help with your grief and pain. I got angry about the pain you , Griffin and thousands of other childhood cancer victims suffer everyday. I then ordered 30 more green bracelets to help spread the word and tell Griffin's story. I wrote to Oprah because I think it may help funding if she lent her voice to the cause of finding a cure for neuroblastoma and other childhood cancers. I encourage everyone reading these guestbook entries to write Oprah or your congress or media so perhaps we can make a change. I know Griffin did not live and suffer for naught. Just know that we here love you guys so much. My day to day life seems so mundane compared with the everyday suffering you endure. Wish we could see you all more. We love you-

Monique,
The new pictures of Griffin are beautiful! I love the one of him on the Dumbo ride! I wish there was something I could do to take away your pain, I know there is not, but please know that I continue to pray for you. I know you are right when you say Griffin is having fun right now. Playing all the time...in peace...with his friends. God Bless...

Mo,
My heart breaks for you, and we too miss Griffin horribly. I can't look at Yo-Gi-Oh cards without picturing Griffy and his big toothless grin. I never will forget the day that he, Logan, and Blake first met on the Oncology floor and the had sword fights like they had been brothers for years. Those boys are all something special, and we can't begin to imagine how much you miss him. Don't ya just know that he has all of Heaven laughing their pants off, and drinking red Mountain Dew? We miss him too, and we will continue to pray for all of you.

Hey Monique,

i was just sitting here this morning doing something else when i found myself thinking of Griffin so i thought i'd come and leave a message for you and let you know he's always being thought of.
I love the new pictures,what an awesome smile he had,i can totally understand just looking at him why you miss him so much not only can you see just how loved he is but the happiness that radiates from every picture is beautiful.
I never got to meet Griffin,the two times i came to the hospital he wasn't feeling good,i so wish i had because i know he was amazing.
I can hardly talk right now my voice seems to be taking a break lol although i don't feel unwell at all but maybe next week once it comes back i'll give you a call.
Email me anytime,i'd love to hear more about Griffin.
My love to all of you,

NH - Thursday, February 10, 2005 3:34 PM CST

I just wanted to stop by and say hello as I've been thinking a lot about Griffin today. I was talking to a friend of mine about another child with the same disease and I just had to tell my Griffin story.
I visited you all in the hospital about a week before Grif earned his wings. He was still fairly alert and was watching a movie that day. We had a nice, short visit (mainly about Yu-Gi-Oh cards) and then I went to leave. Now remember that I had stood in the hall outside his door for a few minutes before entering, looking at the BIG sign that said "do not call him honey, sweetie or anything else - please just call him Griffin!" So anyway, I go to leave, lean down to pat his arm and say "it was nice to see you, sweetie" and he says "Don't call me sweetie - my name is Griffin!" DUH - that was one of those moments that I just wanted to slowly disappear..lol
I knew at that moment that this young man had spunk!! I love it! I smile every time I think about it (though I wish I wouldn't have done it) because while it made him mad, it was so great that at that age he knew what he wanted and he wasn't afraid to say it.
What an amazing young man. Thanks for allowing me and the many other DFW Friends of Allie to share a part of your precious son's life. I'll be forever grateful for having the opportunity.
If you ever need anything, please e-mail me or call me. Maybe we could bring you dinner one night? Anything at all, just call!
Much love to your family~

It is just so amazing that every picture I've seen of Griffin, he has had a huge smile on his face! My little one is also missing his front 2 teeth so I smile everytime I see him! I check your site daily for updates, to see how you guys are doing. I'm glad I was able to attend his memorial here in Dallas. Remember, I live right down the road from you if you ever need anything!! Email me! I do daycare from my house so I'm home all the time. :-)

I wanted to let you know I am thinking of you all. I check Griffin's site everyday. There is also a great smiling picture of Griffin on my bulletin board at work. Actually, I don't remember seeing very many pictures when he wasn't smiling. Every police officer that walks into my office asks about the picture and I gladly tell them the story of a very brave boy named Griffin. I hope we get a chance to see one another soon. You all are in my every prayer.

Love LaKota and her mom Debbie.

Here is a poem that I would like to share with all the moms that have a love one in that is in Heaven:

My Mom Is A Survivor

My Mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said.
But I hear her crying at night when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom...through Heaven's open door.
I try to tell her that angels protect me forever more.
But I know that doesn't help her or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...And show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal~!

Monique and Barry: I think about you guys so many times. I was privileged to be at his memorial service. It was such a mix of celebration of his life and sadness for his family left behind. Griffin's smile reflected his spirit! I love that smile. I have the Channel 8 story tivo'd and watch it almost everyday. My husband is a police officer too and he likes to watch it with me. We love the car chase! "You're surrounded!" Yes, Griffin, we are surrounded by the thought of you! Always surround your parents!

I have spent a good portion of my Sunday morning "with your family" by reading your web journal. We didn't make it to church, but somehow, I think God understands. I have cried for you...one cancer mom to another...I am was not prepared to read how recent your loss is and yet, you took the time to e-mail an encouraging message for us.

Griffin is in a better place...I do feel this so deeply.and I'm sorry for you for missing him.

Selfishly, I would like to keep in touch with you. I want to know more about your cancer odyssey. I want to know about Griffin at diagnosis. I want to know about the specific drugs and your opinion of his quality of life on the various treatments....fenretinide has been discussed, MIBG therapy, Cytox&Topetecan, and maybe something else that I can't even recall right now.

If you can....please tell me more. If you can't do it, I COMPLETELY understand!!!! You have my e-mail as well as my caringbridge site. I will gladly call you long distance if that is preferable!

In HIs hands,
Kim

I also have two boys of my own and because of Griffin I hold them closer to me each and every day. My oldest knows all about Griffin and thinks he is the bravest boy in the world. I still continue to pray for Griffin and your family and also all of his extended family at CMC.

Just keep knowing that everything you're feeling right now
is normal. It's okay to be furious and go crazy becaue you
miss them, even though you know they're in a better place.

Here are some things (cazy, but if you've been here
before...you'll know) that help me when I'm SOOOO angry or
sad about my losses:

When you're missing him tremendously:

1. Take his blanket, lay on his bed and hug it. Talk to
him while you hug his blanket and let him know how you
feel as you fall asleep.

2. When you're alone in the car, sing out an impromptu
song to him...let him know you're thinking about him and
you don't care how many people look at you funny

3. Write a letter and send it up to heaven with a balloon,
or burn it and allow the ashes to blow away in the wind,
and for the smoke to carry the words to him.

4. Call his nurse, or just go see her

When you're furious:

1. Open the shower curtain, take a handful of ice and
throw it into the shower as hard as you can.

2. (again, alone in the car) yell out as loud as you can
why you're angry.

I'm angry because

I'm not quite sure how I happened upon Griffin's webpage back in December. I was smitten by his beautiful smile and reading about how courageous he was that I bookmarked the site so I could read the updates. I was so sad to hear of his passing, yet he was so wise beyond his years and truly seemed ready to go to heaven! I know he will be missed on earth tremendously. I pray that your beautiful memories you have of Griffen will sustain you until you meet him again on the other side. God Bless your Family.

Dear Blake, Barry and Monique,
I cannot even dare to imagine how you miss your special boy Griffin. My heart breaks at your loss. Although I never met him in person, you have so generously shared your precious son with us to such an extent that I do feel like I know him. I wanted to share this poem with you all. It's a poem I found on another precious angel's web.site, Connor Hunley. Caring and teary hugs from Italy.

The Cord

We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been 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 you're 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!

It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit

MONIQUE! WHAT A COINSIDENCE!!!

I still go to the hospital. Sometimes once a week, sometimes once every 2 weeks. But I think it's important to keep in touch with those who took care of my mom for so many years, and I am always sure to thank them.

Therapy Dogs.

My mom was at Memorial Hermann Continuing Care and she saw a therapy dog. She wanted him to come see her, but the owner wouldn't take him. I took my dog up there and the nurses ambushed me telling me to get him out. So, over the summer, I put my dog through a 2 week training course to be a pet therapy service dog.

One of the last things I said to my mom, was that I promised I would do all I can to help as many people as possible with him, to make up for the time she wasn't able to see the dog.

Now, he comes to school with me on fridays, and does pet therapy with special needs children.

I will help you out as best I can with training Zoe. I trained my dog myself.

I am so grateful for our friendship and for the fact that Paige is not alone in Heaven without friends. I think that being with her grandparents all the time might get boring. With Griffin there too, she will never be bored!!

Barry, Monique and Blake,
I am happy to read that you all (or for the Texans out there...ya'll) made it back home safely. I can't even imagine what it must be like for you all being there wihout Griffin. But know that we (both Susan and I) are here and are just a phone call away. I was so happy to see you guys and that we got to celebrate our birthdays together! We really enjoyed the time! Take Care, you are not forgotten as Griffin shall never be forgotten by so many. Thank you again for your friendship. You are a wonderful family.
TAKE LUCK!!! Love,

We are glad that you are back home in Texas, and we are continuing to pray for you every day. You would not believe the true amount that both of you as parents have inspried Wally and I. We have so much respect for you, and the way that you have handled this. We just wish that we were closer and we could just be there to talk every day. We too miss Griffin, and we will never forget the things that he taught us. Mo, I am so proud of you for finding things to do with Blake. I am sure that Griffin loves watching all of the fun things that you do together. Please hang in there and remember that we all love you!

This is the most difficult signing I have ever made. My name is Tiffany. I was the mother that brought you and your family dinner the night Griffin was to leave us all.

I myself am the mother of a child fighting cancer. My hands are shaking as the tears fall across the top of them while I am typeing. This is so hard.

Griffin's story brought me to my knees and got me in touch with a deep reality I was not ready to face. You see our boys are the same age and actually favor one another.

Seeing you and your family go through all of this with such grace is amazing. Griffin is such an amazing and unique child. We are all better for a little Griffin in our lives.

I will never forget your Mom's face of the shivering I could feel in the pit of both of our stomachs as we hugged that night at the hospital. I knew God was recruiting a new perfect angel for his Guardian Army. I felt something that night I can NEVER explain.

I have never had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful son. I feel like his memory comes across my mind everyday as I look at my sweet Parker fight.

Thank you for allowing me to share how your son touched our lives. Thank you for being his mother, holding his hand and allowing perfect strangers to be touched by his warmth and character.

Good Luck to you and your family. You are in my thought daily. I am so sorry it has taken some time and lots of courage to finally make this entry.

God Bless you all.

I'm so glad that I could be there to pay my respects and what a joy it was to see Griffin's favorite things all wrapped up so pretty. Thank you for sharing so much of him with all of us.

Bob was driving into to work this morning and out of no where an eagle flew down and followed his car for a bit. I asked him if he thought it was Griffin. After all, if Griffin is watching over all of the DPD, he is certainly watching over Uncle Poopy. Bob said at first he really thought it was Griffin, but the eagle didn't poop on his car, so he's not sure! Next time, Griffy, aim for the middle of the windshield so he knows for sure!
Hope D-land goes well tomorrow. Enjoy the Tower of Terror for Griffin and Paige. Love you, Aunt Nan

Monique, Barry and of course Blake!
Words can not expressed the sorrow I feel for you and I want you to know that the grace that you have shown through this terrible time is inspiring. I can't begin to know the pain you must feel and yet, through it all, you are the one who is helping others with their grieving too. Your journal entries are truly beautiful. I think of you and Griffin and your family every day and with that I get more determined not to let the world get me down. We often worry so much about work, bills, be here, be there ~ and yet those are the least of the importance in life. Griffin has shown us all that. Love of life and family and friends is all that matters. Love. You and your family are loved and give the world love through your sharing of Griffin. I wish you peace of heart and of course, Love. Always, Linda (Korrin's Grandma)

Monique, I am so sorry and shocked to hear about Griffin. I was talking to my daughter tonight on the phone and she was sending me pictures of Lexy and the new baby Aden and I was scrolling the neuroblastoma sites and I found Griffin's site and I could not believe it. You had wrote me an email. to answer questions we had about Lexy. All I know to say is you and your family are in my prayers. Griffin was lucky to have you and your husband as parents, you loved him so much.

Monday was so moving - Yesterday when I got home from work, Kirk said he was a little depressed. I asked him if he wanted to talk about it and he said we should make new bracelets "WWGD" , I asked him what that ment, and he said "What Would Griffin Do". I thought that was so sweet of him, this is really hitting him harder than I thought at first. We love you all so much and miss you all, but his service was a great way for us to all remember and talk about Griff.

I was so sorry to hear about Griffin. I always think about when we first met at CHLA as roomates. Griffin had had brain surgery just a day or two before and was sitting up in bed acting as though nothing had happened. When I told Amanda about his passing, she asked "Why?" That's a tricky thing to explain to an 11 year old who is currently in remission. But...she was satisfied when I told her the good news is he doesn't have to be sick anymore and that he is with Jesus in heaven. She told me she liked the way I said that. Our family will continue to lift you in our prayers. Amanda's website is: fbcamanda.tripod.com

I am so sorry for your loss. I too had a son treated at CHLA when he was initially diagnosed with ALL. He died almost 10 years later, at the age of 15 after a sudden relapse. I now work for the Michael Hoefflin Foundation as the family outreach coordinator. It has been an honor to read about little Griffin. It is strangely comforting to be connected to other parents who have lost a child to cancer. Thank you for being willing to share your son's story.

Every time I saw Griffin at preschool, he was running like crazy, grinning, with a pack of other kids right behind him. He had an amazing amount of happy energy, and we came to think of him as one of the "popular, big kids." Wanna bet he'll be one of the popular, big angels, too?

Sadly, we won't be able to make the memorial on Monday, but we definitely will be thinking of you. And especially of Griffin.

Hi Monique and Barry-
Creating the DVD was a complete pleasure for me! What a total joy to spend a few days with Griffy from birth to this Christmas listening to hip-hop and Yu-Gi-Oh music. The hip-hop is even starting to grow on me :)! The service on Saturday was wonderful. Griffin would have loved it. I hope Angel Griffy came down for the cake we left outside like Blake wanted. Seeing his little dedication to his brother is something I will never forget. I love you guys. Nan(ny)

Dear Monique and Barry,
I have never met you but my families thoughts are with you. I am a friend of Mike Kings from Seattle. We connected because we each are older parents that have 2 year old daughters. Bella and Ariana sometimes play together. Now I know why he was going to Texas frequently. After having a child I just can't imagine going through what you are. Griffin is finally out of pain and at peace in heaven. Hopefully you can heal too and never forget him or his struggle.

I just logged on to check on Griffin, only to discover he is in heaven now. I am so so sorry for your loss and that I didn't check on him sooner so me and Jordan could come to the funeral services. There has not been a day go by since we last saw you in clinic on Dec. 13th, that I have not thought about little Griffin. Jordan and I will miss you guys terribly in clinic. The boys always played so well together. I am glad Jordan will have the memory of the day him and Griffin had on Dec. 13th to cherish. I certainly can't look at a package of Starburst without laughing at Griffin and counting how many are in the package!!! Griffin was such a awesome little dude, leaving a smile on everyones face who came in contact with him. Monique, I am always here for you if you need to talk. I pray for you to have peace knowing Griffin is pain-free and laughing and running in heaven!!

Griffin,

I know you fought a hard battle with that ugly cancer. You were always so brave. Now it is time for you to run and enjoy everyday in heaven and know you will never hurt again. I just have one big favor to ask of you little man. If my Jordan loses his battle, will you please find him in heaven and continue being his friend. He will need you!!! Jordan and I will miss you here on earth but we look forward to playing with you again one day when we reach heaven....

Love and prayers to all,

I think a Happy Heaven Birthday for Griffin is a wonderful idea -- something that a wonderful boy must have thought of. The balloons against that blue sky are amazing, as was/is Griffin. Truly an amazing person who I won't forget. Blessings, and prayers for peace during the days ahead.

Griffin-
I just got home and wanted to send you my love! You must be having fun sending so much rain to L.A. I was glad to be at your brother's "Happy Heaven Birthday Party" last night. Love, Grandma ViVi
Blake- The cake you picked out for your brother was so yummy. I love you; have fun with Dean.

Even though some of us are away from the service that was held in Dallas, I wanted Griffin to know (actually he probably already does know) that Susan and Christie cheers to Griffin while we had lunch while some thousand miles away, there were so many honoring him. I know he is very happy and proud. Much love and prayers to the whole family!

Just think of the thousands of people that now know about Griffin. It is nice to know that one of his last wishes came true. The service was wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing child with us. Channel 33 also had a great story on Griffin. The anchor woman had a tough time talking after the reporter told his story.

Barry & Monique,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Griffin was a wonderful little boy - I just wished I could have met him, but by reading your journal I feel I've known him for a long time. Monique, I hope one day I will be able to meet you. I'm sorry I couldn't make the services yesterday, but I did see the story this morning on the news - what a remarkable testimony. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts. God Bless you...

I have never met you nor Griffin but had been asked to pray for Griffin the weeks before his passing from a friend at an online parenting community who lives in your area. I began following his story and was so saddened to hear of his passing. I am amazed at the courage and the strength you all have shown and at the courage and strength of Griffin during his entire life. He truly is a hero. Despite the fact that I had never met him, Griffin has touched my life forever and I am a better person just for having the privelege to read his courageous story - I have learned much about strength, determination and love. My continued prayers for you all during this very difficult time. I cannot even imagine the sorrow in your hearts.

This is Auntie Roxy's friend Megan. My heart broke when I heard that Griffin had passed, but as someone who has lost many dear people to cancer, I couldn't help but be filled with a sense of peace for him. No doubt he is flying free and strong up in heaven and will constantly be a presence in your life, guiding you all through the rest of your journeys together. My love and prayers are with your family now and always.

Hey Grif,
I was lying in bed with Bella, holding her hand, closing my eyes, and thinking of you. I felt a small hand on top of mine, and I opened my eyes, expecting to see Bella's other hand, but I didn't see anything! Was it you? You told me you would visit me if you could. I miss you so much. And I will always love you ... to the moon and back.

Hello. I am a relative of Wyatt's. Kris wrote in her journal that Griffin had past away. I am so sorry. I have spent a lot of time looking at your page, past journals, the pictures. Even though I have never met you or Griffin, it broke my heart. What a beautiful young man, strong and thinking of others. Barry's memories were very touching as well. I am sorry that your little boy was needed as an angel, but he will always be there...around you. God bless you and your family...God bless Griffin.

I will never forget the amazing little boy named Griffin who was so strong and so very brave and even liked to help with his port. Those words I read are burned into my heart along with the precious image of a beautiful face, bright eyes and wonderful smile of an angel that I never even met.

My heart breaks for you. I hate cancer. It robbed the world and especially a family of an amazing child.

Run free, laugh hard and fly high forever sweet Griffin. Your in Heaven with God now and nothing but good will ever come to you again.

That is exactly how I will always remember him.

I came to your page after reading Roy's update. Having lost a child myself, I am truly sorry for your family. I am also so very thankful for the intimate stories you have shared with all of us about Griffin's- and your- preparation for his journey to heaven. My daughter, Maddie, and I had many similar conversations... and if there was ever a doubt in my mind about life beyond our earthly experiences, it was erased completely, as I was able to see it through her unconditionally trusting eyes. Thank you for putting an exclamation point on my beliefs!
Wishing your family peace.

I recently saw Griffin as we was being shown around the Central Operations Division. I noticed how excited this little guy was as I walked by. Being busy with my work, I didn't stop to find out who he was. We exchanged smiles and I went about my day.

Only today did I learn that this great kid was a fellow officer and that he had lost the ultimate fight.

My heart goes to his family. Know that your larger family, the 3000 members of the Dallas Police Department share your sadness and hope.

It was a pleasure to speak to you today Barry about the loss of Griffin. I only got to interact with him once at a dinner we had at Acapulco. He was so full of energy and smiles that I know no one that didn't know his situation would have guessed what he was going through. Through these bad moments, we have a chance to reflect on what is really important in life and not to take things for granted. I truly appreciate you sharing his journey with so many so that we all could learn the little lessons in life. Love and hugs to all!

Monique, Barry, Griffin, Jordon and Blake-
Looking back on the last few days, I now look at things a little different. At around two thirty-five L.A. time when I saw the green light in my room and later finding out that Griffin had gone to heaven at around the same time, I thought it was his way of saying good-bye. But, I was talking to someone and he pointed out that Griffin was not saying good-bye but hello. What a wonderful way to look at that. That "DUDE" always surprises me.

A little story -
One afternoon Griffin was at our house. Monique and I were in the kitchen talking. Griffin comes in to ask for something, and I said, 'What do you want my little love bug?" Griffin made it clear not to call him love bug, call him "Dude". I said, "Please can't I call you love bug." As I remember with a little joking, Griffy finally agreed that I could call him love bug....... sometimes. Sooooo I had to laugh out loud when reading Griffin's web page and listed as number one don't call him sweety, or honey or baby. Call him Buddy, Griffy, Griffin or Dude. We might as well add to the list love bug. I love you DUDE.

Love,
Aunt Mimi

Monique, Barry and Blakey Snowflaky...
Seems appropriate that the weather here in California has been a bit "glum" these past few days.. fitting for our heartache and sadness.. But then suddenly today a beautiful rainbow in the distance!! Surely I know that this was our Griffin pushing the raindrops aside for a moment to show us the beauty and peacefullness of his life now.Thank you Barry and Monique for giving us the privelage of being touched by your son. All of us are better people because we have a piece of Griffin in us to share with others. I will always remember Griffin's visits to me in Surgical Admitting at CHLA.. "is Aimee's mom here? we have a date at McDonald's", he would call out. After a while are dates became so regular that everyone knew when to expect him. It was very hard to keep are meetings secret!!!Thank you Griffin for being my excuse to have a greasy not so good for me McDonald's meal!!
Today Aimee and I drove by "Aimee's park". Thank you for giving us such great memories. We look forward to playing with you Griffin Yarbrough in "Griffin's Park". So prepare the slides and swings and of course a carousel with horses so you and Aimee can ride on and on with angels playing hip-hop music on their harps, drinking red mountain dew, with a rainbow of skittles. Wow !! Sounds like a great place!!Maybe those were skittles in the sky today!God speed little man.
We love you

One day out in the yard Jordan Johnson showed Griffin her middle finger and asked him do you know what this is? He told her it was her finger in that tone of his. She replied, it's called "flipping peole over". He told her not everyone likes to be "flipped over". I try to remember this advice when I'm driving.

La Canada, CA USA - Wednesday, January 5, 2005 6:10 PM CST

All over CHLA (and I am sure at CMCD as well) people are stopping each other in the hallways to share memories of Griffy. He has impacted us all - Doctors, Nurses, Social Workers, Technicians, Therapists, Teachers, Child Life Specialists, everyone - and taught each of us something that we could treasure. It is strange, for we are never sad for long; some funny story, some "out of the blue" question, some game played, some conversation enjoyed with Griffy will bring the biggest, warmest, most joyful smiles to our faces.

This is what he taught us; how to enjoy the many pleasures that life brings, to face challenges head on, to see the good in the world, to believe in a better tomorrow, and to be open to loving everyone you meet � all served with a happy dosing of skittles, starburst, and good ol' mountain dew!

He learnt these truths from two of the most incredible parents I have ever had the privilege to meet. Your Love and devotion to each other, and to your children, spilled over to everyone. Strangers are just friends you haven�t met yet � and this is the way Griffy lived his life.

What a fantastic web site Barry - you write so beautifully, so honestly. So many of us have not known what to say, what to do - and so I know we all thank you for guiding us. You pay Griffy such honor in this.

Monique, you are incredible. I have long known that you hold great wisdom. I always learn something new about bravery, determination and love from every conversation we share. You are indeed a Hero.

I will always remember my friend; his laughter, his smile, his wisdom. And I know that I am in good company.

Dear Monique and Barry,

Griffin was an exceptional great-grandson, always smiling and full of fun. He touched so many, with his amazing courage and acceptance of his treatments for a child so young. Monique and Barry you gave so much strength and love to Griffin.

What a wonderful day it was when Griffin (our first great-grandson)was born . We will always cherish the special times that we spent together - your family, Brian, Mimi, Don, Kristina, Brittany, Danielle, Simone, Marcel, Dean, Sara and Roxanne. The fun that Griffin had joining his cousins in Easter egg hunts, family birthday parties, swimming at our pool, Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve dinner parties.

Griffin we will miss you so much, but we know that you are in God's tender care.

Monique, Barry, Blake and Jordan we love you so much. You are in our prayers.

Love,

Dearest Monique and Barry,

Why are we on this earth? Are we on this earth to make a difference? And if that is the reason for us being here then Griffin made a difference. Reading the tributes, I realized that he touched so many. It is truly amazing.

Griffin was always a strong-willed and determined child. Griffin learned to swim at a very young age (with the help of me, his father and mother, his Grandma and Great Grandad)
Having taught hundreds of children how to swim, I thought he was too young. He proved me wrong. He was a great listener and learned fast. He was upbeat and positive.

One day at Mumsie and Grandads house, he was swimming back and forth between Monique and I. I believe he was just under two years old. He was so creative in his thinking. As he swam, Griffin imagined he was a bird, a plane, a helicopter, a whale, a fish and a shark. Each time swimming better and better. He had a great kick and really impressive big arm strokes. What an athlete. So fun to teach.

Not long ago, before he moved to Texas, Monique called and told me that Griffin was going to have a substitute teacher.
He thought it was going to be me. Too bad as I only teach in Simi Valley. I wish I could have taught him that day.
I wish I could have given him piano lessons. But, he will have much to learn in heaven and he will have many great teachers. I am sure he will be swimming in a beautiful olympic size pool high above us, joyous with his friends.

I pray for Monique, Barry, Jordan and Blake.

I will miss you Griffin. Your love of life. Your smile. Your laughter. You have touched us all.

With love, Uncle Brian

Griffin, a boy full of fire, has touched my heart in such a special way. Both of you, Monique and Barry, are incredible, so it was no surprise to me that Griffin was as smart and so full of life as I found him to be. I met Griffin at Planet Pizza where his mom inquired about Griffin becoming a Cub Scout. I feel so lucky to have had Griffin in our Den, even if for such a short time. I was so in awe of Griffin, handling new situations without a second thought. Everything he did, he did with such strength. He and I really seemed to click. I knew his time on Earth would not be long, as how could one so young be so grown-up and so insightful? He was truely amazing. He touched my life and I will always have a place in my heart that belongs to Griffin. I have heard it said by others that angels visit days before one passes.

Griffin and his family entered our lives when they moved to Texas. Taylor and Tanner were excited to have new playmates and thought it was cool for meet people from California. Little did we know how blessed we were to have Griffin and his family share their life with us.

He was an incredible boy. I can still hear his voice..."Hey guys want to play?" as he entered our home each day after school. Tanner loved to play Yu-Gi-Oh cards with Griffin and prays that Ryan and Paige greated him in Heaven with buckets of Skittles and stacks of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
He was dearly loved and will be deeply missed.

I've just learned about Griffin through Kody's site and I am so sorry to hear that Griffin has passed. I will pray for strength for all of you to endure this loss. I am hopeful that our little friend, Lauren, who passed away on 12/9 from neuroblastoma, was there to greet Griffin and show him all of the fun stuff there is to do in heaven....neverending candy, games, and Yu-Gi-0h cards!

Griffin sounds like he was an amazing little boy. Heaven sure is lucky to be getting him. I can't imagine the pain you are going through, but it sounds like Griffin tried to help you through this pain before he even left. Leaving you video messages at such a young age just shows what great parents you both are. Zoe is blessed to have an angel in heaven to guide her and watch over her. I will be praying for you and your family throughout the coming days.

Dear Griffin's family,
I have just learnt of your beloved Griffin's passing. I never had the honour to pray for him for I did not know him before. I feel honoured today to know of such a VERY special young man, his courage, his wisdom, his FAITH, his pure zest for life, his cheeky golden personality. I am utterly humbled by your outstanding son. I am so deeply sorry for all the suffering he had to go through and that you had to see him go through. As a parent, I cannot even imagine your heartache in the last 4 years and how much you are missing him. I understand from your post that Griffin had far more than a vision of Heaven. He is well and truly a remarkable Angel. Godspeed little Griffin : thank you for elighting my soul and for teaching us so much about life and what is the right path. Thank you to Griffin's family for sharing their amazing son with us all. May God's loving embrace comfort you today, tomorrow and in every day to come, until you are all together again, for Eternity.
But A Moment

You'll always be my child-I think of you each day,
Even though you must remain so very far away.
A love as strong as this, I've never felt before;
But you had to go away-up through heaven's door.
You'll never have to suffer, or feel pain or hate,
just peace and love and happiness-
God has given you this fate.
I hope that you can feel just how much I care;
And, When my days are over, in a flash-I will be there.
Pure unbounding joy! We'll never have to part.
You'll be right by my side-And not just in my heart.
But, until that day, when my dream is real-
I think I understand, just how I should feel...
"Mom, I am fine!" this must be what you would say-
"Please don't be so sad, we'll meet again one day:
I'm with God above - so don't cry for me,
Our parting is but a moment compared to eternity."

Dearest Griffin,

You brought so much joy to our lives. You were such a caring little gentleman to the end. Telling us last Friday night to drive carefully in the rain and cheering up Dean with your clowning while you were sitting on your hospital bed in pain and without sight. Griffin you are a role model to all of us and I will make sure Dean knows you and follows your example.

I still remember the days when we use to have martial arts fights. You were the good guy and I was Diabolical (from the Power Rangers for the lay persons). The good guy always won and the good guy still winning. You didn't lose the fight against the bad guys, you just moved on to bigger, better things. Griffin I will always remember you and love you.

P.S. I cannot wait for you to visit us while we're sleeping in order to give us the one-minute tour of heaven.

Monique, Barry, Blake and Jordan:

My prayers are with you. I as a father cannot begin imagine the pain you're going through. But take joy in the fact the griffin has earned his wings and he has our mighty father as his protector. And his memory will live on. I love you guys.

Hey Griffin
I am sad and glad.Hows heaven like?Could you go to a pond and tell my frog Danny Hi?Have you gotten far on SSX3. I bet you have tons of rare YuGiOh cards,pop guns, and Red Mountian Dew.lYou taught us all a lesson to be thankful for things like our health.Also I think you look good as an angel.I bet you are watching over us right now I was thinking about you during a basketball free throw competition and even though I didn't win I bet you helped me shoot. I made five shots and every time made one I loved you one hundred thousand milion times more then before. This year there is this thing called reflections each year there is a catagory that you have to write about it. This year it is a "different kind of hero" and I chose you.You are a hero . heroes don't have to have super powers a cape of have lazer vision a hero can be someone who fought cancer That is why I chose you.Goobye wonderful angel. Ilove you

If you listen carefully, in the wind you will hear,
The voice of a soldier, laughing loud and clear.
He�s been at war a while now, fighting for his life,
But today the One and Only decided what was right.
Griffin became a Golden Soldier in 2005 today,
Remember he danced happily, he was not taken away.
Instead he joyfully leaped into open arms,
To be carried into �glitter� all away from harm.
�The bad guys didn�t win,� I�m sure you�d hear him say,
�I asked God to make them leave me alone, so I could go and play.�

<>< Brittany

I know Griffin is in your hearts now, but he�s never felt further away before, I�m sure. I�ve lost the most irreplaceable love recently in my life, and I know it�s a pain you can�t explain. Don�t try. To get it out, write it in a journal, that's the best advice I can give. Family...it's the only thing that helped me this far.

When I am gone, release me, Let me go,
I have so many things to see and do,
You must not tie yourself to me with tears,
Be thankful four our years.

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
But now its time I traveled on .... alone.

So grieve for me awhile if grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part;
So Bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call and I will come;
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart you will hear,
All my love around you, soft and clear.

And then when you must come this way alone;
I'll greet you with a smile and say " WELCOME HOME"

I hope this will give you some comfort. It help us when my older sister died with cancer. God Bless you all.

I know there are no words that will soothe the ache and deep loss that you are feeling right now and will feel for a long time. All I can say is I am praying for you to feel God's strength during this difficult time and I will continue to pray that the many happy memories you treasure of Griffin will help you live on without him here. I am so very sorry.

Griffin was an amazingly brave little boy, so mature in his comprehension that God saw fit to let him understand all about heaven beforehand so that he knew how to say goodbye to everyone he loved on earth.
I feel for your loss, but I am thankful for all of Griffin's chances and that he will be helping God to prepare your own places for some distant day when you will see him again.

I am so sorry to hear about Griffins passing, but I was so touched by the way he had the ability and the knowledge to be able to put his family at peace so you can go on without him. The days ahead will be tough but he is such a special little man that I'm sure he will continue to inspire us all to be more like him. But most of all I'm sure he will be whispering "I love you" in your ear everytime you feel the wind on your cheek. He will always be with you.

We will do our very best to take good care of your mom, dad, and Blakey. You have inspired us more than you will ever know, and your years here on earth have changed so many peoples lives. We are much better people for having known you, and we can't wait to see you again some sweet day. Until then, FLY HIGH!

Words can't even begin to express what we want to say to you. We hope that without a doubt you know how much we love you and our hearts are breaking for your loss. We will always be thankful to you for giving us the ultimate pleasure of knowing Griffin. That smile just captivated me from the very first minute I ever met him, and that is somthing I will take with me for the rest of my life. He taught Logan how to swordfight on the Oncology floor, and I knew that Logan had made a lifelong friend. We love all of you, and will be forever greatful to you for allowing us to be a part of Griffy's phenominal life. Consider yourselves hugged, and know that we will continue to pray for all of you.

His level of love and acceptance was that of a very special man but in a pint sized body. I will miss his special grin.

I'm so sad for you all - his family. Yet I'm so glad that he's no longer in pain. No child should EVER have to suffer like Griffin did. I pray that in my life time we find a cure for this beast we know as cancer.

My Dear Monique and Barry,

While typing this message to you, what cannot be transmitted are the tears, the heartache, the sorrow and the disbelief that Griffin has passed on. Mimi, Dani, Brittany, Kristina and I have been grieving ever since we received that very loving and brave, but at the same crushing phone call from Griffin. The one where he called to say goodbye and that he would miss us.

It has been a very long journey, with decisions you needed to make that as a parent I cannot begin to imagine making, let alone living through. No one, not a single person that I know of has had any problem, when compared to what you both had to experience up to and through the end of this year. Adding to that, Griffin�s last breath. The agony of losing a child, I can not pretend to completely understand how bad the pain is to loose such a precious young man who was so wise, so smart and so courageous. But yet I try to have empathy and can only feel horrific pain.

With an aching heart I sit here asking why did he get ill? With all that he went through, why could not medicine cure him? Why did not God intervene and save him? Why were our prayers not answered? I have no answer. I do believe that God wrapped his arms around him and took him to heaven. A place of eternal painless peace and of joy. I know this because of the lights that Mimi and Brittany saw at the exact time of Griffin�s passing. It was as though he came by to say goodbye one last time. Goodbye Dude, I will selfishly miss you.

We will continue to pray for each of you, Barry, Monique, Jordon and Blake. Praying that your strength continues as you grieve. Pray that your sprit will rise above your loss, pray that your mind will come to a place of peace knowing Griffin is now a painless angel. We will continue to ask people that we know to join us in praying for all of you.

With heartbreak and love,

Uncle Don

I'm going to miss his questions, his giggle, his silliness, his loving nature, his "run-faster jump-higher go-get-'em" spirit...his ability to "wow" us all at every turn.
His memory will be for a blessing to us all.
With Love,

Barry, Monique...

We are so devastated to learn that Griffin has finally let go. Though our sympathy cannot compare to a fraction of the wound this battle has inflicted on your family, know that anyone who's remotely familiar with the tale of Griffin's bravery and courage in the face of insurmountable burden cannot help but grieve with you.

Take solace in the knowledge of his newfound peace; be comforted by the legacy of the joy experienced by all who knew him, even if all too briefly. Take the memory of his smile and make it yours forever; how best to honour his unassailable joy in the face of suffering?

Let us know if there is anything at all that those who work beside you can do to ease the burden of this difficult time...

Reading some of the other comments in regards to Griffin's final ascension to peace and rest in Heaven, I was reminded of a poem that might help you feel the peace he now feels:

High Flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God

Los Angeles, CA USA - Tuesday, January 4, 2005 11:06 AM CST

At 2:30 this morning I woke up with a need to write. This is very unusual for me; I hate to write my feelings down on paper. I was confused with why all this has happened to my family. After the end of writing, my room was illuminated by a bright green light. Don woke and asked why I was up. I told him I needed to put my feeling to paper. This morning Brittany came to our bed and said, �I saw someone go up in white�. Then Don said �babe what did you say?� Brittany replied, it was nothing dad, never mine. I will now share with all what I wrote last night.

It�s hard to understand why? Why an adorable boy would be placed on this earth and get sick. Why? It�s all so hard to come to terms with all of this. Griffin touched so many people- his family, friends, doctors, nurse�s schoolmates � and everyone who heard his story. His story of bravery and courage. His positive out look with fighting those bad guys.
In and out of the hospital for four years. And I ask why? What does God have intended for Griffin, it must be great. Is Griffin fortunate to advance to heaven sooner than us? No more pain and agony?

I look back a few years ago Griffin slept over at our house. He loved to come over and play with Kristina, Brittany and Danielle. He was hungry in the morning asking me to make him breakfast. I said, �What do you want my little angel�
He said to me in a firm voice, �I�m not your little angel, I�ll have fried egg sandwich with pepper.�
Griffin was right he was not my little angel then, but he is now and forever will be my little angel. I love you and we will meet again in heaven.
Goodbye my sweet little angel.
You�re ever loving Aunt Mimi

Monique, Barry, Jordon and Blake � I love you

Another angel takes flight.

My deepest, most sincere sympathy and condolences to each and every one of you!! Griffin 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.

The worst thing that can happen to a parent is to lose a child. It feels like someone ripped your heart out. You go from the unbelievable to the unbearable.

Griffin is in a good place now and I'm sure Pam is with him. She just loved children so much.

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 Pam�s 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.

Below is a poem that we have on a plaque dedicated to Pam:

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death
we do the same� It broke our
hearts to lose you, you did not go
alone; for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home� You
left us peaceful memories, your love
is still our guide, and though we
cannot see you, you are always at our
side� Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one,
The Chain will link again.

You are all in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I was there in the beginning, and middle, and I am sorry I could not be there for you in the end but you know where my heart was!

It is hard to say goodbye, Griffin. I cannot imagine the world without your smiley face and goofy laugh. You have such an amazing spirit and have taught me what real love and real family is all about. You are so much like your mommy was as a child, and it has been a true joy to know you and to remember the days when she was your age. Thank you also for showing my sons what real strength and compassion are. The times we spent with you will live with us forever. Heaven will be a brighter place with you. May you find a Yu-Gi-Oh and video game filled place where you can eat lots of popsicles, eggo waffles, and special cereal, listen to hip-hop and dance and sword fight the night away. I love you.

Monique and Barry, we just wanted to say "thank you" for coming into our lives and for sharing your two amazing sons with us. We had such a good time when Blake came to stay with us--we don't have any little boys in our family, so he was a delightful distraction. I also wanted to say thank you for sharing Griffin with us as well. I don't need to tell you how special both of your sons are, but I wanted to tell you about my constant memory of Griffin. On the day we took all the kids to Build-a-Bear (wasn't that a wonderful day?), as we were all leaving and saying our good-byes, Peyton began to cry, and asked Griffin not to go. Peyton was in her stroller, and Griffin came over to her, bent down, kissed her, and whispered softly to her, "Pey, don't be afraid. All you ever have to do is call me, and I will always be there for you." I have told that story to Marni a dozen or so times because I knew Griffin was telling Peyton far more than I could understand that day. I guess I just wanted to tell you that your sweet son is far wiser at 6 than some of us will ever be. I know now that Griffin will always be there for Peyton and for all of us whose lives he has touched. I thank God that He put all of you in our lives, but especially Griffin. He has made all of us better for it, but for me, Griffin has brought me hope--something I thought I had lost. My love and my prayers. Peyton's (and Blake's) Grammy

Hey - I just wanted to tell you that I love you guys so much- You are in our thoughts all the time. Griffin we love you, we love your smile, the times we spent at the beach, the pool and you sleeping over with the girls. I can't express how much I care for you. You are a remarkable child, so strong, so brave never wanting to give up. You have been through so much in your life. You have made such an impact on so many people, touching them in ways no one truly understands yet. You will be remembered for your strength, positive attitude and being a really cute dude. I will keep you close to my heart. I love you. Your Aunt Mimi

Brave,strong Griffin,
Words can't express how much you mean to me. You have taught me what courage and persverance are. When I'm feeling afraid or wanting to give up,I think of you. You have taught me to live life to the fullest and to love each other and ourselves. Than you for blessing my life. I hope your pain will be gone forever.You've made this world a better place,so I know you will do the same in heaven. As Aunt Sue and Aunt Roxy said,we will all take care of your mommy,daddy,Blakey,Zeus and Zoe. Goodbye little ninja. You will always be in my heart. I love you Griffey.

Griffin- I don't know what heaven is like. I like to picture it as a place where you get to be with all your friends and family who have died too. I also think you get to be with all the pets you have lost too. I think when you are in heaven you also will get to watch over all the people you love who are left behind. I like to think when you go to heaven you will meet my grandma and grandpa (that would be your great-great grandparents). They loved to play cards. I bet they will hug you and tell you all about heaven and show you how to play poker. Did you know your Mommy used to play poker with your grand grandma?? I hope you get to do all the things in heaven you ever wanted to do. We will always love you and see you in the rainbows, the calm beach and whenever we are feeling down, you will probably send us a message so we know you are still with us and will always be. Thank you for being such a brave boy. We will look after your Mommy, Daddy and Blake and Jordan. That's what families do. I love you Griffin. Go in Peace. Love Aunt Sue

Hi guys.....saw this entry on another Caringbridge site, and thought you could probably relate. We all HATE that your family has to go through this, and we pray for your peace and comfort each and every day. Rob & Kathy Brady

"I'll bet you've had about enough
of people telling you how strong you are
and how great you're doing during
this awful, difficult period in your life.
Maybe you'd rather hear someone say
how much this sucks, how outrageous
and unfair it is!!!!!!

Maybe you'd rather hear
someone tell you that you don't
have to be strong all the time.
Or that it's definitely okay
to curse fate and throw
a tantrum or two.

So here we are to tell you
all that stuff and more,
to let you know where we stand,
which is right in your corner.

There's no right way or wrong way
at a time like this.

However you work through this thing
is immaterial to us.

All we care about is that
you ask for what you need,
lean on those who love you,
and try to trust us when we say
that you'll come out the other side.

I think of you all every minute and my heart is broken. Griffey- I will always be there and take care of your mommy, like I've promised you. We will all keep your memories alive forever. Your forever in my heart, no matter what. Give Ryan a big hug from his mommy when you get to heaven. Mo- You are my best friend and I hurt so bad for you that I can't breathe. I don't want to disturb you all at this very difficult time. Please call me as soon as you can. I will be with you every single step of the way through this, as you have been for me. God put us in each others lives for the reason we never could accept, to help each other to learn to live without our kids. I hate that, but I just want you to know we will take it minute by minute and we will help each other through this pain. I love you all and I wouldn't replace being with you all this week for anything. Griffey inspired me to keep going because they are with us. I know that now for sure. Thanks griff.

I am speechless. Here I have been having a hard time visiting sites, and then when I do it is to find the brave Griffin is soon to earn his wings.
The ironic thing is that I just sent him a Happy New Years card, and for some reason needed to check on my Tumbleweed kids last night and this morning.
Please know that I am thinking about your whole family, and sending all our love, and am hoping that you find peace in the happy times you all shared as a loving family.
Today is the 4th anniversary of the death of our twins. I know how difficult it was for me to let them go, waiting for those angel wings.

You are in my thoughts every minute. If you need anything, we are here. I am so glad that Paige can be there for Griffy. Team Neuroblastoma has to stick together.

How wonderful, that God and his angels are letting griffin share these pieces of heaven with you. Maybe he is still here just for that reason...so that you will know in your heart, with no doubts, just exactly where he's going, and how much he will be loved and cared for there...and that he will be surrounded by his friends and his own special angels. Bless his sweet little heart. Bless yours and your family's also...we are praying for all of you. Thank you so much for taking the time to post updates on his website...I know that must be so very hard. You are so special Monique. I agree...I think that you were hand picked by God to be Griffin's mom. Holding you up in prayer....Love Janet

Dear Griffin, Today is the day before New Year's Eve and you have just entered my life, thankfully! I learned that we are related ... your Great Grandfather and my Grandfather are brothers. I sure am proud to be able to call YOU a relative!! My name is Dana and I have three little ones, so I know a thing or two about kids, and I must say you are one impressive fellow!!! You are sooo special, and smart and brave, and cute, too! You know Griffin, it seems to me, that in your years you have inspired more people than most can do in 99 years. God must have decided He could really use the help of a kid like you up in Heaven. And, God must love your parents a whole bunch because He picked them to be the ones to show you true, never ending love. THAT love your parents have for you is just a little hint of what heaven is all about. And even though you and I have never met in person - you have made your mark on me, and I will share your story with those I know - so that we may all learn from the incredible example you have set of how to be BRAVE and HOPEFUL for all that God has planned for us. You and your family are in our prayers. May your days be blessed and peaceful.Love, your long lost relative, Dana (King) VanOveren and family

Dear Griffy, you are such a sweet and smart boy, and any kind of person like you does not deserve cancer. Yet you still keep a positive attitude and make the most of your life. I will pray for you as hard as i can that all your pain will go away, and remember that heaven is a much better place to be. Up there is like a whole new world and you'll never have any kind of pain forever. Maybe God made it this way,(for you to have cancer) because he knew that you have the right attitude to fight cancer, and are stronger than other people.(not physically, but mentally) Or because he wants to be with you sooner. I hope that your pain will go away soon, and i send you lots of love to you and your family.

No child, no where should ever hear the words you have had to express to your sweet 4 yr old son. What an angel warrior, he took it so well. I wonder what he is thinking in his little head? Scared? Thrilled? Curious about heaven? Who knows, right? Amazing little man. My 5 yr old daughter thinks heaven is full of rainbows, and unicorns, ice cream and candy - She thinks that you sleep in warm clouds, covered in rainbow blankets and at the end of the cloud bed is a rainbow slide you slide on to get out of your bed. What a fun way to wake up, dont you think? I wonder what he thinks heaven will look like? I guess we will never know till we get there :) I imagine it will be everything we hoped for, and more....

My thoughts are with you and your family esp your little boy, brave little boy... My tears flow for you, and my heart wants to reach out and hug him.. He's an angel

Monique, what a great gift to share your courage with your son that way. No parent should have to have that conversation with any child, let alone a kindergartener. Glad you made some great Christmas memories that will last forever. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Griffin,
I haven't said hello in quite some time. You are always on my mind and in the prayers of both me and my family. You are an incredibly strong young man and we are very proud of you. From the pictures we've seen it looks like you had a wonderful Christmas. And your puppy is beautiful! If your Grandpa Mike comes to see you, tell him I said, "hello." Keep smiling! We love you!

Please tell Griffin how beautiful it is going to be on the other side! There are going to be angels everywhere who can't wait to greet him. All of the other caringbridge kids will be waiting in line to be the first to hug him. God will be there any time he needs a hug and he will never ever feel pain again. Griffin will be able to ride rollercoasters every second of every day if that is what he wants. This will be an amazing thing for him. It is those that are left behind that feel all of the pain. Please know that I will be praying for you and your family that you will find peace in all of this. You are amazing people!

I've been checking up on you every day. Sure hope today has been a good one for you. Zoe is cute, but you are still cuter. What kind of dog is Zeus? Griffin, you are my hero. We are having a blood drive at the police academy in a couple of weeks. Some of the police recruits were a little scared to give blood (kind of wimpy). I told them a little bit about you and Peyton and your other friends. They stopped being scared and signed up to give!

I also need you to get to feeling better so you can beat Aunt Stephanie at video games. She thinks she is sooooo good. Take care big boy.

Hi Griffin, I think that is pretty cool that you got to ride on a float in the parade! And you got to go to Six Flags! That is one of my favorite places to go. I'm praying that you are not in any pain and praying that you get better.

Hi, Griffin. I just read a little bit about your fight to keep your body healthy. I'll start praying each day that you find the extra strength to win your latest battle real soon. I bet you are looking forward to opening up a few gifts when Christmas comes. Maybe someone in your family can share another great picture of you that day. I imagine that your smile will be even brighter that it was in the beach scene. Take care.

Just wanted to let you and your family know that I have grown to care about you so very much. I went to bed thinking about you and woke up this morning thinking about you still. I am rather partial to 6 year olds since my daughter is also 6. I am praying with everything that I have that your pain goes away and you will be able to run and jump and tumble and ride your bike and everything else that a fun loving 6 year old should do.

Hi Guys!
We are so sorry to hear that you are back in the hospital, and even more regretful that we are so far away and not able to be there with you all. We can, however, be there within a few hours and would do it in a heartbeat if you needed us. Aside from that, Mo, please remember that I am only a phone call away, and even if it's 4am, you can call ANYTIME. We love you guys, and we will continue to lift you all up in prayer. Our good friend Marni once pointed out "Sometimes the Lord calms the storm; Sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child... Remember that, and know that we love you all!

Hey Griffin! Peyton is in a little bit of withdrawal here not seeing you and Blake. Are ya ever coming home?? :) We know you're having fun and we are so glad for that, but we sure do miss you.

Peyton told Aunt Stephanie that when you and Blake get back, she wants you to spend 10 nights with her! I told her maybe we could negotiate for one or two, but she didn't look to happy with that. She wants to have a big slumber party where you, Blake, Weston, Colton, Logan AND Courtney all spend the night. I don't know how Courtney's gonna feel about it ;) but I'm sure the rest of you would be in. If that happens, Lindsay says she's moving to Daryl and Sherrie's until the slumber party is over!! So, come see us when you get home, or maybe we can go to another movie. We'd love to hear all about your trip and how Leo is doing.

We love you!

Wow,fried cheesecake and giraffes .....I don't think fried cheesecake has hit the northwest yet. Krispy Kreme just arrived here last year. And I have never heard of giraffes being part of a state fair. My closest encounter with a large animal at a fair is a camel,which I rode and have pictures of that joyous bumpy ride. I love the new pictures. Griffin will be in my prayers and thoughts tomorrow. I hope all goes well. I love and miss you all.

Lucas did get a call back from his audition, so he is one happy kiddo tonight. I hope all goes well the next couple days at the hospital.Talk to you all soon. Much love, Nan

Hi guys,
Griffin and Blake have fun at your sleep over with Peyton. Mo and Barry enjoy your time together. You both deserve an evening out. I'm so happy that you have meet some awesome friends in Texas. As Nan said,I am so glad to hear that your mom is doing so well. I keep her along with Griff and all of his special friends in my prayers and thoughts. Cary comes home from a school camping trip. He went to Mt.Helens,which has been on volcano watch since he has been gone. Despite the school's reassurance that it was safe to camp there,I'll be glad when he's home in Seattle. Saturday,we are celebrating Bella's year anniversary at Nan's. It should be lots of fun. I hope you all have a wonderful and fun filled weekend. You are in my prayers,thoughts and heart.

Hey Grif! We are so glad we got to spend time with you this week. We had such a great time with you, mom and Blake at the movies. We can't wait to see you and Blakey on Saturday. We'll pig out on yummy food and have a blast while mom and dad get some much needed time to hang out together. I've told our friends at church you and Blake are coming Sunday and they are so excited to meet you in person. So many of them have heard all about you and have been praying so hard for your cancer "bad guys" to hit the road and NEVER come back.

Tell your grandma how excited we are to read she is done with her radiation. I see where you get your bravery!

Monique and Barry--keep your chins up and your eyes on heaven. He's a big God and He is in control in a very big way. He assures me everytime I go to Him in prayer on your family's behalf that He is hearing our pleas and will answer us in His perfect time. We love you all.

The new pictures are so cute! I bet you made Uncle Jack very happy. Sounds like staying home from school was a great choice today. Playing pirates with your brother can be a very educational experience. There's language arts (talking like a pirate, arrrrr), math (counting your loot), physical ed (all that sword fighting is great exercising, not to mention walking the plank), there's music (singing the Yo Ho song), there's social studies (you spent the day living in a different culture), and there is health (learning how to walk with a peg, see with one eye, adapt to one arm and a hook, and the consequences to drinking too much rum). Love you, Aunt Nan

Hey Griffin, sorry that you hurt your hip sliding. That must be a boy thing, because my 6 year old slides ALL the time! He keeps saying, "that's what they do in baseball". Well, yes it is, but in baseball, they slide on sand, not concrete. Get better soon so you can get back to school.

Do you know that little Miss Bella L-O-V-E-S SpongeBob too? She would just love your room! She is just learning to talk, and sometimes she says "Bun-Bah Peas" (Thats baby talk for "SpongeBob Please", which means "put on the video tape of SpongeBob Mommy!") She also likes to listen to the SpongeBob CD in the car. When the CD sings "SpongeBob Square Pants", Bella sings "Bun-Bah-Bear-Ban". Isn't baby talk silly? I miss you buddy!

Hi, Cutie. I love the new "griffin border" on your homepage. Perhaps I could wallpaper a room in my house with it. It would be my happy room since I am happy when I see your smiling face. Glad you had fun with Sara and Mark. Did you know when Sara was your age she use to be a really picky eater and always liked her clothes and face really neat and clean? Rox was the opposite! Did you also know both Lucas and Koa go to the SAME elementary school that they did. Pretty cool. Koa's teacher last year even remembered Rox and said she was always really smart (which she is). I hope you get to go back to school next week. I love you, Aunt Nan

Hot Dang! this is the first time that we have logged on to your website and its just too cool to hear that your home! Let me see if I can explain to you who we are; its a lesson that your great grandpa Bill taught my husband and he has tried to teach me (I'm not that good at it).My husband and your mom are 1st cousins twice removed, which means that we are your 1st cousins x three. Does that make any sense? We saw you last at the family reunion in Palm Springs. Do you remember? It was very, very hot! We are so glad you're feeling so much better. Give your mom a great big hug for us and tell her how awesome she is.

Hey Griff!
Welcome home! I miss you so much! Bella has your face on the refrigerator. (Well, not YOUR face, but a PICTURE of your face on a magnet!) She likes to put peoples bodies under it (well, not THEIR bodies, but PICTURES of their bodies on cutout magnets!) that make you look like a bowler, or a body builder, or a school teacher lady! It looks funny! We kiss your picture lots and lots. Kick the bad guys for me. Love Grandma, Grandpa and Bella

Now all the kids in his class want them (I think they saw all the Olympic athletes wearing them, not just Lucas!)We miss you and hope we can come visit you soon.

Hi Griffin,
We are friends with someone you might know... Nan, Bob, Lucas and Koa. It's so funny that we have never met because we feel like we know you. We've heard lots stories and seen so many pictures. Loved the ones from Hawaii!! You are very lucky to have such a big, close, loving family! We heard you were going to be spending a couple weeks in the hospital and that you might be just a little bored so we wanted to send you a little note to let you know we are thinking about you. We hope that the fight with the "bad guys" is going well and that you are finding time to play with the "good guys". We hope to meet you soon (even if we need to tag along on one of those great family reunions you guys have ;-).

Lots of love to you and your family,

I was reading where Aunt Jen was asking if Lucky Charms was your favorite cereal, it's mine. I used to do the same thing and eat all the marshmellows out of it, it made my brother Chris pretty mad.

Hi Griffin!
This greeting is coming to you from "down under" in New Zealand. You will have to have your mother show you where that is on a map. I teach New Entrants(5year olds). It is wintertime here and very cold. There is snow on the mountains and the children have to wear warm coats to school. I'll bet it is super hot where you are. I used to teach in Texas so I know how hot it can be in August. It will soon be spring here and the children are looking forward to getting out of school for their summer holidays at Christmas. Imagine having a swim at the beach on Christmas day. Wouldn't that be fun? I hope that you continue to fight the "bad guys" and are soon able to get back to school with all your friends.

Hey there Griffin!! I am a first grade teacher. I hated to hear that you were sick and that you have been spending so much time in the hospital. I wanted you to know that my older brother had cancer many years ago. He had to spend a lot of time in the hospital too. I am glad to say that eventually he didn't have to go back anymore and just had a little boy of his very own. Your picture reminded me of my brother. Tell the nurses to treat you right and give you all the best jello. That was always a highlight for me in the hospital when I had to stay in one. OH and the juice was always cold, cold, cold. Hang in there tough guy.

Hi Griffin. You don't know us, but we know all about you. We're friends of your great gramma Barbara and great grampa Bill, and they told us what a great kid you are! Would you like to know a secret about your grampa Michael? He used to play with our son Eddie when he was your age. Grampa Mike was "Zorro!" He would get dressed up in his Zorro outfit and whip out his sword and pretend to fight with Eddie. They had great fun. I'll bet you would make a great Zorro too. The next time you talk to your Grampa Mike you ask him about his "Zorro days."
We will keep you in our prayers and hope that you will get back to school very soon. I'm sure that your classmates will be super excited to see you again. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Love, Gayle & Bill Snyder

Hi Griffin! I am so glad that you are back at school! I am going to a different school this year, so I am a little nervous. That is great that you are joining Cub Scouts!! Nicky is a cub scout also. My mom is his leader. Nicky loves cub scouts so much! I know you are going to have a great time there!! Blake- That is great that you are almost potty trained! Love you guys so much, and can't wait to see you guys agian! I think of Hawaii everyday and it put a huge smile on my face. Love Always- Allie

Hi Griffin!
We LOVE the new picture! The hair is awesome! We sure could use your help sometime. Ya see, Logan is going to be a big brother, and he isn't too excited about it right now. We would love to get you guys together so that you could tell him all of the great things about being a big brother! We think you are a really cool brother, and we kinda think Blake would agree! We are gonna be in clinic on Wednesday, and we would love to meet up. Maybe we'll get lucky and that will be a day for you too! We could both go see Westons mommy and tell her hi! Give everybody hugs from us, and we hope to see you soon!

Anyway, I am SO excited that you get to do chemo at home! Now you can get chemo and watch SpongeBob at the same time! How cool! I hope you have a great day !

Hi everyone. I just talked to Monique, and she said I could give you all an update via this guestbook. They are all fine and getting settled in Texas. As is life, there have been many ups and downs with the move and with Griffin's treatment, but Monique sounded great as always. She has the amazing ability to find something positive in everthing. At this point their computer is still not set up (a long story), so that is why Monique hasn't been able to update you. Looks like she should be online this weekend. Griffin is doing well. Still heading to the hospital most days for tests or blood, but making the most of it. He is heading to California this Saturday for his week at cancer camp. He LOVES camp and will get to see his Aunts, his Uncle Jack, and his good friend Paige. Griffin will return from camp and will then start kindergarten. Monique's mom ViVi has been visiting this week. She has been wonderful for Monique to have around. She has been spending lots of time hanging out with Blake while Monique is at the hospital with Griffin. Blake is doing fine. He finally has his train table set up in his new room, so he has been enjoying that. Barry is settling in with his job. He is loving his new 20 minute commute time. Monique said they are still in the decision making process about Griffin's future treatments. Nothing new will happen until after he gets back from camp. Monique turns 30 on Thursday, July 22nd! I cannot believe it was 30 years ago that my brother and sister-in-law gave me my favorite playmate of my childhood. I have always felt so honored to have such a smart, loving, beautiful, and strong niece. Keep leaving those messages for the Yarbroughs. They will read them all soon. As always, continue those prayers and positive thoughts for Griffin and all those touched by cancer. Love, Nan

Griffey, you keep Ryan alive for me, with all your memories and stories, I love you for that. Not many people talk about him anymore, but I know you always will. I miss you all but I know you all made the right decision to move. I hope you know that I am here for you no matter what, and I love you all.

Hope you and your family are doing well and settling in to the Dallas area. Happy belated 6th birthday -- I'll bet you celebrated in a BIG, TEXAS WAY!! We just completed our move, too, so we know how difficult it can be. Sounds like you guys might be seeing some fun thunderstorms...watch out for the hail! Those puppies can hurt! Take care and we love you lots!!

Hey Guys!
Sounds like the move went "okay" - maybe not as smooth as it should, but once the boxes are unpacked, and things settle down it'll all be perfect.
You have been in my thoughts a ton, and all of us at CHLA who love you have been updating each other, and sending you good karma by the ton.
So how do you like CMCD? Cool playground huh? (I cheated, Heidi told me you liked it!). I drive by the Cinerama Dome and think of you all the time Griff - there is a HUGE Spiderman climbing over the top of the dome! I'll have to stop and take a picture of it for you...
Happy 4th of July Guys!
Love and miss you a ton,

Hi Griffin--As you can see, we have a countdown going until you get here!! We're just a little excited about finally getting to meet you and your family :) I suppose the first time we see you will be in clinic, so let us know when you're due to go in for your first one and we'll try to see you then. (No pressure, but our clinic day is Thursday...hint-hint, wink-wink);) Of course, you're in great company any day you go. Weston and Peyton are both in on Mondays and Thursdays, Sometimes, Weston is in on Tuesday, Logan on Wednesday. And, of course, there's always the hospital visits, which stink, except when we're all in together, and then it's so much fun, we forget why we're there :) You'll have to join our "Marker Club". Weston and Peyton always have their doors and windows decorated with the cool window markers we have. None of the other patients used to decorate their doors, but Peyton and Weston started the trend a few months ago, and now lots of kids are doing it!! Don't worry, we'll grandfather you in as a charter member of our elite, artistic group. Tell mom and dad if they need any help with ANYTHING to let us know. We hope you have a safe trip here and that you continue to feel well. Much love to you all!

Hi Griffin! We love the new picture on your website. That's a cool 4-wheeler you're on. Is it yours? Peyton has seen the Barbie 4-wheelers and has shown some interest in them, but the thought of letting her loose on one of those makes me want to lay down. She'd head for the hills if given the chance! We like the pictures of you and Blake. It looks like you guys had a fun birthday.

Tell your grandmother how happy we are about her good news with the tumor! That is the best news I've heard today. See you soon cutie!

Hi Griffin!
I am a friend of Auntie Nan. Every summer I ride my bike and raise money to help fight cancer. This summer I will be on a very special team "Friends for Life". (www.myfriendsforlife.com). This team was formed to raise $1 Million and establish a research position at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Boston to specifically study Neuroblastoma. Once the position is established it will be funded.
I hope you are doing well with treatments. Stay Strong. Wishing you Well & Healthy!
Donna

Hi Griffin! I hope you and Blake had a very happy birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. That's Peyton's favorite place to have parties. As a matter of fact, you will be here when it's time for her 4th birthday, so you and Blake will have to come.

We're glad this week of out-patient chemo is over. I know sitting in the infusion room all day will wipe you out. We have a cool infusion room at Children's where the out-patient kids get their chemo. The nurse in there is named Brad and he has all kinds of cool movies and video games to pass the hours. Peyton doesn't do her chemo out-patient, but when we are cooling our heels in clinic waiting for a room upstairs to open up, Mr. Brad comes and gets us so Peyton can watch Cinderella in the comfy infusion chairs!

We are so sorry you have to leave your friends and family in California. Peyton's daddy had to leave California for Texas when he was 11 years old. He lived in the Redando Beach area (did I spell that right?) We truly do feel that California's loss is our gain. We can't wait to meet you and Children's is going to take such good care of you. The nurses are SO wonderful and Peyton swears by the great snack machines on the 10th floor. The hospital rooms are big and best of all, they are PRIVATE ROOMS! I didn't know we should be so thankful for that until I started talking to other Caring Bridge parents about their accommodations.

We hope you have a great weekend. Tell your family hi from us!

Hey Griffey,
I hope you had a fun day yesterday! I had a lot of fun at Chuckie Cheese! It was nice to have everyone there for you and Blake, huh? I will be sending your bday present to Texas so you get to open it on your real birthday! I love you so much! I will be seeing you again this weekend. No more chemo next week! Yay!! I will plan to come up next week too now that I have my car!! See you lots soon.

The Caringbridge website is such a wonderful way to communicate! We were sorry to hear that Griffin has had to return for more treatment. We have heard that he is handling it so well. We pray that he will respond to the treatment and not be in to much pain.
I know leaving the LA area will be an adjustment for all of you. Good luck with the move! Love, Aunt Linda and Uncle Pete

Dear Griffin,

Your aunt Simone (Rauda) has asked our church, the Conejo Valley Church of Christ, to be in prayer for you. Over the past year and more we have been praying for you and for God to be with you and to give you strength. In fact, your name is listed every week in our printed prayer list.

I know that you have a family who loves you very much and even though we don't know you, we want you to know that God loves you and that we are praying for you.

May God care for you each day through the people he has put around you.

Sincerely,

Andy Wall

Hey Griffin! I'm one of your Aunt Rox's friends who lives all the way in Washington, D.C. I met Rox when we both lived in London, England when we went to college. I feel like I know you already, even though it's mostly because your Aunt Rox tells the best stories about you. Someday I'll get to meet you when I come out to California and maybe you and the rest of your family will be visiting too. Then we could go play soccer. Or baseball. Whatever you want. Your aunt just told me that the bad guys are back again. But you know what? If any of the stories that Rox has told me are true, then I just know you're going to beat them again. Because Rox says you are the toughest little boy with the biggest smile ever. Big hugs from the nation's capital!!! Love and prayers, Megan

I thought I would send you a quick note to wish you well and say Happy Taco Tuesday. When you see your Grandpa Mike you can ask him about Taco Tuesday. Anyways, I hope you have a super day. I am in the process of waking up your cousin Max for school. He needs his alarm clock and about 2 or 3 wakeup calls from me. I'm about to release my secret weapon...something that can always wake him up..Otis-Elvis. He will jump right on top of him and pin him down and give him lots of kisses until he's up.

Hi Griffin. We LOVE that new haircut!! Thanks for stopping by to sign Peyton's site again. We didn't know you are a July birthday too. That's so cool. Peyton's is on the 7th, so you guys are right there together!

You are so brave. We are praying for this week to be super-easy on you and that you not get bored at all. Get some rest, eat lots of ice cream and watch Nickelodeon all day :) That's what Peyton does and it hasn't failed her yet!

Hello Griffin and Family,

I am a friend of Peyton White and her family. Your web-site is so cool. The photo is adorable. I am sorry to hear of the recent news. GOD will be with you as he has over the past few years. He will be the strength that you and your family will need over the next week. It seems as though you have a huge chain of prayer, just as Peyton does. I am the event chairman of Relay For Life in Peyton's home town, we work with the American Cancer Society. I am hoping that this organization has aided your family in some way in your area. Please let me know if there is any thing you perhaps would need. Nice to finally meet you through your photo and I will pray for you. May God keep you safe.

Hi Griffin,

I bet you didn't know you have family very close to where you're moving in Texas, did you? Well you do! I am your great-grandma Barb's cousin. My name is Craig and my family and I live in Fort Worth, just a short drive from Dallas. I'm sure you don't remember but, we met at the Simmons Family reunion in Palm Springs, California a few years ago. I remember seeing you playing in the swimming pool and thinking to myself, "Now, he looks like a King." (I'll let your Mom explain that one to you!) I think you are an incredible young man and I'd like to see you again when you get settled in your new home. I'm a pilot for American Airlines so, maybe we can meet for lunch at the American Airlines Museum and then go see the simulators where we train and learn how to handle emergencies. Would you like that? Have your Mom get in touch with me when you have some time and we'll get together. In the meantime, Griffin, please know that you are in my prayers and the prayers of my family. And, if it's okay with you, I'll add your name to our church's prayer chain so you'll have lots of people in Texas praying for you too. Have a safe trip to Texas and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Love, Your Cousin, Craig

To my little hero,
You amaze me every single day. I'm so sorry for what you are going through. The one thing I do know is that Ryan is watching his best friend from heaven and he is always with you. You have become not just Ryan's best friend but my son. Everytime I miss Ryan I know you will be right there to cheer me up and remember a funny story about him. I would do anything to make all this just go away for you, so you could have your dream come true, and that is just to be a normal little boy. Mo...My heart has been breaking for you all day. I hope you know that no matter where you live, I will always be there when you need me. You have always been there for me, giving me a shoulder to cry on and your the world's best listener. Griffin is being watched by many special angels and has countless prayers going up for him every single day. I love you all.

Dear Griffin:
We are Logan's grandparents (Nana and Chief) and found your website because your mom has written in on Logan's website.
We hope you will like moving to and living in Texas and that we will be able to meet you and your family when you get here.
You can add our names to the long list of people who will be visiting your website and praying for you to continue to be so strong and brave.

Hey Griffin. I saw your cool hip-hop moves on your photo page! You should be in a boy band!! :) We can't wait for you to get to Dallas so you can inject some "coolness" into our little group of friends at Children's. Mom and Dad, hope your trip here was a good one. At least you got a good weekend to come. The weather is nice. Bye Griffin. See you soon.
Your friend, Peyton <marniwhite@earthlink.net>

Hi Griffin!
We can't wait to have such a cutie in Texas! I know you will like it here, there is so much to do! Logan goes to chemo in Dallas, and his doctors are there too! I bet he could give you some really good pointers, and show you the ropes! Hope you are having a great day! We are praying for you!

GRIFFIN, I WELCOME YOU WITH A BIG OLE HOWDY FROM TEXAS. YOU ARE SURE A CUTE BOY. THANK YOU FOR STOPPING IN ON MY GRANDAUGHTER LEXY'S WEBSITE, AS SHE ALSO HAS RECURRANT NEUROBLASTOMA. I READ ABOUT THE CHEMO PILLS, YOU ARE SUCH A BIG BOY TO SWALLOW THOSE PILLS. LEXY WAS ALSO ON THE THE CHEMO PILLS AND SHE COULD SWALLOW THEM LIKE THEY WERE CANDY. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR TAKING YOUR MEDICINE WHICH PROBABLY A L0T OF ADULTS COULD NOT TAKE THAT MEDICINE. GRIFFIN YOU JUST KEEP ON FIGHTING AND BE STRONG AND TELL YOUR GRANDMA GOOD LUCK TO HER ALSO.

Hi Griffin. Thanks for signing Peyton's guestbook!! I see that you've "met" some of our friends Weston and Logan. They are such brave boys like you. We are glad you will be coming to Dallas soon. If we all have to put up with this stinkin' cancer, at least getting to make new friends will be a good thing to come from it. You will really like Children's. They take such good care of us. The Child Life Specialists are the best, just like Weston's mom says and the nurses on the HemOnc floor and in the clinic are so sweet and give lots of hugs since they know we can have tough days (Peyton also thinks all the nurses are so pretty!). Please let us know when you'll be coming in to town so we can watch for you at the hospital. We can't wait to see you. Love you!

Glad you started this site, you give hope and life to so many families going through this ugly thing called cancer. We are Logan Cherry's family, we are orginally from Texas, and have many friends and family in the Dallas area. I know the move will be hard, but I'm sure you will love it. We really miss it. Good Luck on your adventure!

Hi Griffin! I am so glad you and your mom stopped by Weston's site. Monique, you will be happy to know that there are wonderful child life people in the waiting room of the clinic everyday. The only time Ms. Kristen leaves is for lunch. She always has some fun craft to do or she will play a game with you. The hospital is full of all kinds of neat things to look at but the best thing is the trains in front entrance of the hospital. Weston would sit there for hours if he did not have to do anything else.

Weston says hi and he will see you when you move to TX.

Dear Griffey and Mo,

What would I do without you guys. Mo, your my best friend and you have helped me through more heartache than I ever thought anyone could live through. You are always there for me and I love you for it. Griffey, there are times that I miss Ryan so bad and having you is like having a little bit of Ryan here with me still. You were his best friend in the world. He loved it when you would come play with him. I know that he watches after you from heaven and keeps you safe. Thank you for always talking about him and missing him as much as I do. I love you all.

Hi Griffin. We found you on the cancerkids.org page. We are from the Dallas area and saw that you will be moving this way. Will you be seeing doctors at Children's Hospital? That's where we go and we really like it here. We have a wonderful little friend that's fighting Neuroblastoma. His name is Weston. I'll tell his mom about you so she can check in on you too. Stay strong. We'll be praying for you.

Griffy and family
We will be at the hospital on Wed and Thurs. Maybe we will run into you and we can check on our schedules. Great pictures of Griffy taking the fenretinide. I wish Paige was as good. No news from Leo? I'm not surprised. I think that they are all so busy they just get ahead of themselves.
