One mom’s wish for her dying son: Banana splits for dinner

go out.
have a banana split for dinner.
post your picture on their event page.........Ryan's Banana Split Party.

so do something for a fellow mom and in honor of a sick little boy.

here is what she asks.......


 "Go out and create a memory with your kid. Throw a banana split on the table for dinner," Diane says. "Wouldn't you remember having banana splits for dinner one night when you were a kid?"


so simple & easy to do. 


now go out and make memory's with your kids.


share this pg. please or link back or start a linky party of your own (b/c i don't know how)


love to you all

“When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.”

― Madeleine L'Engle

feeling very vulnerable right now. missing my boy so much.

there is a blog out there  of a little boy who was across from wyatt in the hospital. i go and check on is progress from time to time. i check on the progress of this happy little family. it is in those moments that it truly hits me all that i have lost.

i know it is not true......
but sometimes.............
i feel all alone & like the sadness may just swallow me whole.

just like artax in the swamp of sadness from the neverending story.                                     

searching for hope........

‎"There's no better place to search for hope than the future; a concept that gives everyone in 
existence a reason to live." — Amy Newak

"When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny."
— Paulo Coelho (The Devil and Miss Prym)

...in a time lacking in truth and certainty and filled with anguish and despair, no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world, through her work, a portion of its lost heart. ~ Louise Bogan 

i am starting a daily devotional thing, this is in the opening. somehow, something about it, spoke to my heart.

i have wanted to give back for some time. i am hopping this will give me the push.

btw i am writing this after taking my @mbien and am still awake so excuse me if this goes off course. 

today was my sons 12th birthday.i can not believe he went from this 

today was my sons 12th birthday.i can not believe he went from this

to this.........

you can hardly tell it is the same kid.

time goes by way to fast & i am just sitting back enjoying the moments.

don't get me wrong it is not all rainbows and butterflies over here, but we are making do and getting by with the help of some awesome family & friends. 

and though as it is our life will never be quite normal, maybe in our own way we can make it something even better........

i really hope so. 

so happy birthday to my boy. who fought his tuffest battle before he ever left the hospital. you were so strong then i don't care if you want to sit back and coast for a while.

but i did like your idea about scuba diving and i don't think i am going to let that dream go anytime soon.

happy birthday cam & to wyatt, ethan, mary, & our little stars i love you all to the moon and back ~ mommy

it makes no sense, but i want it .
and i know nobody wants me to want it or think about wanting it.
but it is all i think about, it is all i have ever felt meant to do. i have no other real goals.
what am i suppose to do? where do i go from here.
