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

Sometimes the Lord calms the storm. Sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child.

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
