Sunday Night at Markys home !

Yesterday Marky started some chemotherapy drugs to

combat the disease process.

He will now get a shot in his leg, once a week...

given by Me or his Dad......eeeeek ! !

The stuff is called methyltrexate, or something like

that. Its a smaller dose than they give for most

cancers. So hopefully the effects wont be as severe.

So far, he's doin okay. He's a champion !

We were invited to attend the Make-A-Wish gayla

dinner/fundraiser last night at the GRAND AMERICA

HOTEL ballroom !

What a neat experience. There were around 600 people

there, most of them business people with VERY generous

hearts.

Mingling among the crowd of the exquisitely dressed,

affluent (is that how you spell it?) people, were young

people, such as Marky, wearing WHITE ROSES on their

lapels identifying them as "WISH CHILDREN".

As these "important" people noticed the young little "white rose wearers", I sensed a feeling of pure love and compassion

from them.

These people's sole purpose for being there was to help

ease these little sufferers' burden's, if not just for

a short time. To give them repreave from the pain of their

illness and perhaps forget for awhile, the cross they have

valiantly been called to bear.

My heart is filled with gratitude for these kind people,

along with the hundreds of others of our friends and family

as I think of the impact that even ONE CHILD, such as Marky

has on the human spirit.

I am resolved to GIVE as you all have given to us. To

return kindness and caring and love to anyone in my reach.

As I kneel to speak to our Father in Heaven, I know, he

is listening. I know he sends help in so MANY ways to

confirm His existence and make good on His promises to

not forsake us in our times of need.

I am humbled, as always at the realization of the infinite

love of God for EACH of us as His children.

Love to all of MarkysBuddys, lynette
