Hold them Tight

I love this picture of Colin and Jackie. He loves it because you can't see his face. I love it because there is just nothing quite like holding you child like this. When they put their little head on your shoulder, it's just such a peaceful feeling. These two really love each other and I love seeing them both light up when they see each other.

I've been giving Jackie extra hugs lately and it's probably driving her crazy. My cousin Shannon who lives in Baton Rouge also has a 21 month child. His name is Patrick, he is cute as could be and just a short 3 weeks ago was diagnosed with a nasty cancer called neuroblastoma. They've spent time in Memphis at St. Jude's and are now back home, but the road of chemo, procedures, tests and more tests have just begun. My heart goes out to them . I can't imagine going through what they are with Jackie. Keep them in your thoughts, prayers or positive vibes. Shannon is keeping up a caring bridge site with updates on Patrick if you'd like to see how they are doing. They love the comments and extra prayers. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/patrickdiamond

Oh KM-I'm so sorry about your cousin's little one. That just makes my heart hurt and I will say many prayers until he is healed. I just can't imagine what they are going through.
Hold that little Jackie tight...I know I will hold my little one a little tighter and longer.

Wait! That's not Colin -- that's Wayne Chrebet! ;-)

Seriously though -- so sorry to hear about Shannon's baby. In our thoughts and prayers...
