Little Tassie, I don’t know you, but I wish I could hug you in person now. Please don’t give up, and please let us know if there’s anything at all we can do.
I am so sorry to hear about what you and your son is going through.I never figured out the praying thing, but you are in my thoughts - I so hope the best for both of you.
Hang in there Tassie. You’re being as strong as you can for your little bloke, and we’re here to be strong for you.
You are a part of our family, and we are all here with you. We cannot claim to understand completely the feelings you are experiencing as you walk this hard road, but we want you to know that we are by your side in your journey. Each of us is shouldering a little of your pain.
There is no answer to the question “Why?”, but there is a fundamental truth that the love of your friends is very, very real. We can’t take away the sorrow, or the fear, but we can stop the loneliness.
Behind each of the posts here is a real person. We’re with you, Tas.
{{{{{{Tassie&Sonny}}}}}}}
Tassie, every person who has posted to this thread is willing to help you get through this. Like any group of people, most of us have had to deal with things like this, and there is some good advice out there. All you have to do is ask.
… and here I was all set to bug Tassie about grenade-fishing for crushes with her new picture on the People Pages… another time, I guess.
My goodness! Sorry I haven’t posted sooner.
This really sucks big time.
Please let me know if you need anything. I have a sick son myself, but not as serious yours. He has a blood disorder that has brought him close to death a few times.
I know what it is like to spend sleepless nights worried about what the next day will bring. And wondering why in the hell the doctors aren’t doing more, when you know that they are doing what they can even tho it doesn’t seem like it.
Please let me know how things are progressing and I will be sending you good thoughts and hopefully with all the good thoughts we are all sending, your son will be up and running again and treating this like a bad memory.
Children are resilient and I pray that yours bounces back.
Give him a big hug and a kiss for me and tell him that at least one mommie and five children are wishing him all the best in Iowa.
My ten year old is beside herself with worrie for you because she knows what she goes through worrying about her brother.
I also have a big hug for you and wish that I was there to actually give it.
Be strong and remember to take care of yourself. We are here for you.
And Omni-not, well said. There is something very wrong with that picture.
To those of you who sent your phone number, thank you!
Tho, I will probably never use it, it means a lot to me!
I would either freeze up or cry non-stop.
I can just get more out this way (I can beat the hell out of the couch and scream at the top of my lungs)
I can,t stop thinking of Sonnys smile.
He never stopped smiling (at least when I was around).
It,s like he stayed strong for me.
Not much is changing.
For the doctors, hope is lost.
I wish Sonny could see how every one is pulling for him.
I won,t even get to show him the card my mate made for him and I.
I wish I could take all of his pain away!
That beautiful smile missing teeth, his big blue eyes that I,ve only once seen a tear, that wonderful laughter, the big hugs in the middle of the night when I almost couldn,t take any more, the little kisses on the cheek that sayed “Every thing is okay”, the "I love you, mommy"s.
Tassie, I have already sent my wishes in the card set up over on FFF, but I just wanted to let you know again that you and Sonny are in my family’s thoughts and prayers everyday.
