Welcome to Brandon Knupp's webpage. Brandon is an 11 year old boy from Harrisonburg, Virginia. Brandon was diagnosed on November 1,2002 with a life threating blood disease called Fanconi Anemia.

We invite you to follow Brandon as he fights this terrible disease.

7-27-91 ~ IN MEMORY OF BRANDON ~ 8-30-03

Life is just a test and an obstacle we recieved from god to prepare us for death,
So the ones who learns the lesson are exceptional as it's great for god to take their last breath.

Brandon will never be forgotten as he is molded to our memory and we perpetuate his expressions,
As the biggest influence in his life I sacrifice mine to never reveal his confessions.

To all of us the sound of his angel feet will follow us and he will visit our dreams,
To let us know how amazing it is with no more pain and no more screams.

I will remonstrate until my death to anyone who says he was a bad child,
He retrieves all of our hearts as we weep to this spontaneous unsolved trial.

I can't explain how close Brandon and I was as we went through good times and bad,
Physically my favorite football player is gone which makes this time sad.

I will cherish my younger brother and older sister more than ever as life goes on,
As I understand how precious and fragile life is once you've lost one.

Brandon Lee Knupp is loved across the family so let him live in our hearts,
The rebirth birth of his soul will soon be here for his life is yet to start.

So remember as our minds are confused and our nerves are high strung,
God only takes the great ones so let the "GOOD DIE YOUNG."

I conserve his emotions as he was my amulant and a charm of a brother,
I love him more than words can say but the strongest person in the world is...my mother!

"ONE MORE DAY"

HOOK x2

Give me one more day with my brother...
(God please let him breathe)
Give me one more day... give me one
(Just one more day)


Verse 1:

Why we struggle to live if life's gonna bring us pain/
put a smile on my mom when you was born to the game/
give him one more chance, to breathe in the streets/
shed tears in our dreams but we bleed in the streets/
and I love my baby brother, his lifes undercover/when
you made him stop breathin brought pain to my mother/bring him back to the livin/the life he was givin/was'nt meant to be taken so my mind is forbiddin/to pray wit you/taken love from my heart I never hated you/I don't understand
why we're forced to decease/when we try not to sin even talk to a priest/call it peace if you want why we walkin wit heat/stalkin the streets cause our minds go stray/stay cryin in my mind till he brings me the day/your loves here to stay/pray to god one more time give me one more day/


*HOOK*

Verse 2:

Just one more chance, to spend time with him/blindin him from his family ain't bein kind to him/so lifes crooked all a sudden,tell him I love him/while he's lookin down on me never place no one above him/you never left my heart always be in my dreams/with a smile on your face, life ain't what it seems/but you flew without trace and your sins are left clean/now your spirits are with us,but god he's just a kid/wish I had one more chance to encourage you to live/I regret all the times, I was'nt by yourside/when I ride wit a stride knowin god took my pride/but he made you a soldier,struggled to the end/mom's cried on my shoulder now I'm stuck in the pen/hope you rest in peace,my heart is believin/that I'm bleedin in my mind and you're gone for a reason/but I'll see you at the top,when I stop breathin/


*HOOK*


Ending:

I guess god was ready for you,to bring light to the world cause you're the one/even though that pain is what we went through,let the good die young/
We'll always love you,and we miss you...
So let the good die young

*HOOK*

Updated pictures coming soon.

Hello everyone... It'a been a year since I last updated so I thought I would let everyone know how me and the kids are doing. Fine now that the holidays are over. We miss Brandon more and more each passing day, but Christmas always seems to be the toughest. After it's all over with I can actually sit back and laugh about some of the funny things that Brandon use to do, like... talk me into putting the presents under the tree just so he could peak after I went to bed. Yea he was definately a sneak! I think he may have even tried this again on Christmas Eve because there was some strange things happening in my house like pictures falling off the wall and presents disappearing. Maybe he was trying to tell me something huh.
Angie is doing great she got married in September. The boys are growing so fast. Anthony is getting ready to start baseball again this year.
Jason is doing good he now has a baby girl named Kaylesha who will be turning a year old on February 7.
DJ is doing as well as can be expected, after being out of school for a few incidents that occured last summer he will be returning back next week.
Myself on the other hand... doing ok for the most part, still working everyday and trying to maintain life the best that I can.
That's about all the updates I have for right now. I promise to update the journal page more often.


A special thanks to those of you that continue to sign the guestbook.

To all of my Minnesota family and friends... Hope you all are doing well. I miss you and love you very much.


**Please remember to pray for all of the children and families that are currently going through transplant AND for those families that have lost a child.**

Much Love... Tina
(Angel Brandons Mom)


Dear precious son...Everyday I live is one day closer to being with you. Miss you and love you very much.*You are my special little angel.*

Love always, MOM
