Today I was bring the boy and his buddy's back home from the dirt track. Bailey had all kinds of bracelets on his arm, and I was asking him where he got them, and what they said. One was for baby Ella, who had a liver problem, and transplant to correct it. One is a random band I don't remember and the other was for this boy, who skated at the Bentonville skate park. He recently passed away Bailey told me. He died from cancer.
It hit me. That could have been my son. We are SO lucky and I simply do not thank God enough for the fact that I have a healthy, strong, tall, 13 year old son who "loves love movies" rides his bike on dirt tracks, leaves dirty clothes all over his floor and smells a bit too boyish sometimes.
How LUCKY are we to still have Bailey in our lives, to still be able to watch him grow and learn and do and just LIVE. We are so very lucky and I think sometimes when daily life I almost forget... Just how lucky I am.
How lucky are we, that on January 2006 our son was FINISHED with his chemotherapy and medications and that he has continued to be a healthy normal child, who is growing up amazing. Thank you Lord, for all your blessings in my life!
