I recently got involved with a wonderful group called Hugs and Hope.
This caring group of volunteers spends a great deal of time and effort
brightening up the lives of children battling serious illnesses.  Through
my involvement with Hugs and Hope I have a new awareness of what
these children and the people who love them are facing.  This
page is dedicated to these little angels and their families.
God bless you all...

~ blessed are the pure in heart ~

I wish for you . . . 

Comfort on difficult days, 

Smiles when sadness intrudes, 

Rainbows to follow the clouds, 

Laughter to kiss your lips, 

Sunsets to warm your heart 

Gentle hugs when spirits sag, 

Friendships to brighten your being, 

Beauty for your eyes to see, 

Confidence for when you doubt, 

Faith so that you can believe, 

Courage to know yourself, 

Patience to accept the truth, 

And love to complete your life.

Before cancer...I took for granted that I had my children with me.
After cancer...I know that nothing is guaranteed.
Before cancer...I "knew" I had my whole life ahead of me to do the things I want to do.
After cancer...I know everything can be lost in on second.
Before cancer...I believed what doctors told me.
After cancer....I know to second guess anything that doesn't feel right to me and to ask LOTS of questions.
Before cancer...I let people walk all over me.
After cancer...I know I can stand up for myself and what I believe in.
Before cancer...there were times I resented my children over things that were not their fault.
After cancer...I know how lucky I am just to spend one day with them.
Before cancer...I thought their were no good people out there anymore.
After cancer...thanks to chemoangels and hugs and hope I know thier are lots of people out there who care.

There are also bad things after cancer, and more good. Cancer changes your life forever, no matter what the outcome is. Whether it is remission or an earthly life is lost and a heaven gains a new angel. I ask God every night why He chose my baby and that will be the first question I ask when I face Him on my judgement day. All I know is my little girl must have been special and He must have needed her really bad to have taken her so soon. Out of everything bad something good does happen even though it is hard to see at times. I wish I never had to go through this but I learned lessons that I would not have been able to learn any other way. I have NO regrets as far as Kaitlyn is concerned she knew I loved her and I know she loved me and that is what counts....

~ love is stronger than cancer ~
 

A little girl on Daddy's lap 
Hidin' her disease with a baseball cap
you can turn your chin up 
Most people do 
But what if you were sittin' in her Daddy's shoes ....
Maybe she's an angel sent here from Heaven 
And she's makin' certain that you're doin' your best 
To take the time to help one other
Brother, are you gonna pass that test 
You can go on with your day to day 
Tryin' to forget what you saw in her face 
Knowin' deep down it could have been her savin' grace
What if she's an angel....

"Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you 
that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven."
