I am very touched by such a sincere outpouring of support for my grandson, Liam. What a great community I have hooked into, thanks to Art.
Again thanks to all for the wonderful thoughts and suggestions.
What a journey we have been on, but the thoughts and prayers of those who have already trod this ground has been very up-lifting.
Bill

When my Dad was receiving radiation treatment for throat cancer (he was a 4-packs a day man who eventually beat the smoker’s daily double: lung cancer and throat cancer), I went to San Diego so that I could take him for treatments while my Mom was on a business trip for ALDA (American Luggage Dealers Association).

Anyway, the first time that we get to the waiting room there is this beautiful, angelic child there, she must have been ten years old at most. Her head was shaved and her scalp was crisscrossed with surgical scars and stitches. And she was smiling. I knew that I would never forget that face or that moment. And I have not.
