MAY IS BRAIN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
DID YOU KNOW THAT GRAY

HANG A RIBBON ON YOUR TREE
OR PUT ONE ON YOUR CAR
PIN IT TO YOUR JACKET
BECAUSE GREY MATTERS :)

EVERY SINGLE DAY IN AMERICA
12 CHILDREN ARE DIAGNOSED
WITH A BRAIN TUMOR.
CALLI'S WAS DIAGNOSED
IN HER SPINAL CORD,
BUT IT IS STILL A BRAIN TUMOR.
AND AN UGLY ONE
you may not know what you are looking at...
but there should be a nice, dark
uninterrupted-
black spinal cord
in there
can you see
which lamina bones are missing? or "thrown back in"
as Dr. Storm said :)

By
comparison,
BRAIN CANCER- $165 MILLION AND

PLEASE BELIEVE
HOPE
AND PRAY
FOR CALLI,
AND THE MANY OTHER CHILDREN WE MEET
AND HAVE HAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO
IN THE LAST YEAR.
I will post Mike's arm as soon as we get to do it tonight!
BE BOLD!
LIVE A LITTLE!
WRITE HOPE ON YOUR ARM
FOR CALLI
Always checking & reading. And always inspired. What an amazing way to keep this "monster" at the forefront. I miss the posts - but I know you have more things to do than keep up with the blog. But I must admit that I get more concerned when you don't write. But that is a cause for more prayer. Friends in church are always asking about Calli - they really care. We are in a church with mostly seniors and you can see the concern for Calli - because they are christians and because Calli is so young.
ReplyDeleteGod bless
Who did all the lettering and stuff? It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDid you use stencils? This post is so inspiring...
Just yesterday (it feels like years ago) my dad was diagnosed
with Leukemia. These past few days have been so hard, but
your family really set an example for me.
I hope you're all doing well!
<3
Lydia,
ReplyDeleteNever give up HOPE. Go to God for your strength... He will satisfy you in scorched places.
I did the lettering, no stencils

This is lovely, Lucy. It was so nice seeing you this weekend. Daniel really enjoyed spending time with Aidan and just last night he excitedly told me that you knew all about his very special eyes. :)
ReplyDeletePraying for your family...

I am going to get markers and do this at once.
