Out of the mouths of babes...

Mac has had a really good couple of days. He goes in for surgery tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. They expect him to start chemo at some point tomorrow afternoon.

When putting Liam to bed last night I asked if he had any questions or wanted to talk about anything. His answer was that of most 8 year old boys, "no". I pressed a little harder and asked if he was scared about his brother having brain cancer. He again responded "no". I said "you have no questions about his cancer?'. Liam "No, I know he is going to beat this." I thank God everyday for Liam and Billy! Their never ending optimism and strength is amazing!

  2. And never underestimate your own strength Becky. Billy thinks you're awesome for a reason and children have the characteristics of both parents. You are all so strong and I thank God for that so that as each of you take turns needing strength at times, you each can get it from each other. Keep up the amazing job you all are doing and we will send prayers for tomorrow. Love you!
