On November 5, 2012 we learned that our 3 year old son Jake has an extremely rare bone cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. This page is for our friends, family, and friends we don't yet know to keep up with Jake's progress.

This is a short clip, but a VERY emotional impact. It brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't imagine going through all this, but at the same time, in another world, I did go through this with you. Watching your family go through this every step of the way, since I was friends with Randy on Facebook before all this happened. I don't know him personally; he is a friend of my husband's. But today, I feel like I have known you all forever! You are a beautiful, strong family, and such a huge inspiration to so many people. Jake may not be old enough to understand why he has to go through this terrible test of life, but I believe that he will be a much stronger, spiritual, caring, giving, loving person because of it. I'm not saying that he wasn't or isn't, NOT AT ALL, but I'm sure that something deep down inside him, that he isn't even aware of yet, has changed him in a way that has made him the warrior he is today, because of all that he has endured in the past. I hope that makes sense?? Watching Jake go through this, and seeing his neverending smile and courage has made me more aware of life around me. Has made me stronger emotionally, spiritually and made me more patient and understanding as a mother as well. I've suffered depression all my life and have always had this negative opinion of how life is. But my eyes have opened a lot over the past year, not only with Jake, but with my father who died in February from a cancer we never knew he had until he died. So with that, I just want to say thank you for waking me up to so many things and sharing your story. You are a much bigger impact than you will ever know! Congratulations on beating this nasty disease! I'm so happy for you guys. I'm sorry this is a rambling mess, lol, but I just wanted to get that out to you! Love you Jake!! You are awesome and truly are my Super Hero!!
