Peyton and Courtney's Journey Hook Em' !!
Welcome to Peyton and Courtney's Journey.
Peyton is our daughter. She is 14 years old and was diagnosed on 12/27/03 with Clear Cell Sarcoma (CCSK)- Right Kidney. CCSK is a rare cancer that strikes only 20 children a year.
Courtney is Peyton's best friend. She and Peyton went through treatment together in 2004. Courtney had Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumor--a VERY rare form of ovarian cancer. We came to love Courtney as our own and are honored to share this page with her. Courtney went to live with Jesus on 11/20/05. She was 20.
The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made. Psalm 145:13

Please sign the guestbook and let us know you were here. Peyton loves it when we read her what you wrote.
Kelly, Courtney's Mom, sent me this. Her cousin Jennifer wrote it about Court...
My Hero Heroes are made of many things, Some have feet, and some have wings. Some use brains and others just looks; Some are live and some found in books. Some do good deeds by making choices; Others do theirs by using their voices. They use their talents to dazzle and reign, And sometimes must fight with terrible pain. But heroes they are, one and all; Just regular people, both large and small. My hero is so many things, She once had feet, and now has wings. Definitely had brains and beautiful looks; Her trials in life are destined for books. She did good deeds with lots of charm Attracted many and did no harm. Her talents never waxed or waned Even when going through horrendous pain. She touched all the lives she met each day About her, many loving words they say. Now she’s gone, but not forgotten. Even though the breaks she had were really rotten, Watching over her loved ones with a smile on her face, She sends us her peace, her love and her grace.
With Hope Steven Curtis Chapman
This is not at all how We thought it was supposed to be We had so many plans for you We had so many dreams And now you've gone away And left us with the memories of your smile And nothing we can say And nothing we can do Can take away the pain The pain of losing you, but ...
We can cry with hope We can say goodbye with hope 'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no And we can grieve with hope 'Cause we believe with hope There's a place where we'll see your face again We'll see your face again
And never have I known Anything so hard to understand And never have I questioned more The wisdom of God's plan But through the cloud of tears I see the Father's smile and say well done And I imagine you Where you wanted most to be Seeing all your dreams come true 'Cause now you're home And now you're free
We can cry with hope We can say goodbye with hope 'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no And we can grieve with hope 'Cause we believe with hope There's a place where we'll see your face again We'll see your face again
We have this hope as an anchor 'Cause we believe that everything God promised us is true
So we can cry with hope And say goodbye with hope 'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no And we can grieve with hope 'Cause we believe with hope There's a place (by God's grace) where we'll see your face again
We wait with hope... And we ache with hope... We hold on with hope... We let go with hope...
In My Daughter's Eyes Martina McBride
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero I am strong and wise and I know no fear But the truth is plain to see She was sent to rescue me I see who I wanna be In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak I find reason to believe In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger Oh it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough It's giving more when you feel like giving up I've seen the light It's in my daugter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future A reflection of who I am and what will be Though she'll grow and someday leave Maybe raise a family When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me For I'll be there In my daughter's eyes
