One Year Ago
« on: March 22, 2007, 02:28:00 PM »
Tomorrow, 3/23, marks one year from the death of my oldest son, Jesse, from brain cancer.  He died the day after returning from several weeks at St. Jude where we received excellent care and felt a lot of love.  The purpose of my post is to encourage everyone to be saving for the upcoming auction, and to thank everyone on this site for all they do for St. Jude.  We know first hand what a great cause it is.

God-awful hard to follow that post.
Message received and (partially) understood. From what I have learned in my journey, losing a child is the hardest. Saint Jude's can help keep more people from learning firsthand what that entails.

Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.

There is not a word I can say that could ease the hurt you live with every day.  All I can do is give you my promisse to do everything I can to help St. Jude's continue to do what they do and maybe we can help make a difference in the lives of others.  Your post helps us all to remember that the St. Jude's project far more important than anything else we do here on Trad Gang.

There’s got to be a special spot, in that special place where we all eventually end up, for those innocents who have been denied a long full life here.

Thanks for the reminder about St. Jude’s Talondale.

I just got my guts kicked out !
My wife and I both shed a few tears on this one. We have a grandson that could pass for your boy's twin. I have no earthly idea how I'd feel, during or after an ordeal like that.
 Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, even a year later !
 I thumbed through last years auction the other night and thought, some folks got some good deals, for a worthy cause and it looked like fun. I'm sure it is fun, but now it brings a whole new meaning, to me any way !

God Bless you Chuck,
Frank and I both did not know this and we both could'nt even imagine your pain.

We both will be contributing this year too but this post really hits home like the others have said.

I also had a cousin who was a St. Jude's patient with spina bifida who passed at the age of 14 from it's complications, this organization has done so much for those who are in need of it and well worth every contribution.

Praying God will comfort you and your family always.

Whew....that post belongs at the top of the St. Judes forum when it opens.

My heavy heart goes out to you Talondale...thanks for helping put our purpose for this benefit firmly in perspective.
