God bless you angel. Your story inspires me, my grandson Caden Place, was diagnosed with ALL at age 2 in 2012...one year of hard treatments and good results, cancer in remission. In November of 2013 Caden began to have problems again, and my daughter, his mama, said she was afraid it was back...She was right, his ALL was back and the blasts were worse this time, and we were told that he must have treatments again at once...Then we were told without a bone marrow transplant he would die. So much to deal with, but deal with it they did and after 5 months of chemo rounds and being so sick because of no immune system and flu and pneumonia, hospitalized for those, and we were so afraid that our Caden wouldn't pull through...but he has, and God has answered every need....Caden and his parents were admitted to the OU medical center in OKC, OK. on the 1st day of April, on April the 9th Caden received his BMT and we are again counting on our God, his parents and the docs and staff to help our baby win this fight. You inspire me.....may God always watch over you, never give up....and thank you , please check out Cure for Caden on facebook, his name is Caden Alexander Place.....age 4

I'm so glad to see things are going well. Everytime I go through my favorite places to delete the old ones I come across your site. It's a not-to-be-deleted favorite! Your hair looks just like Austin's. Remember when we met you and your family at a soccer tournament and went for ice cream? Austin is playing soccer and his brother, Eric, is playing college soccer at IUPUI in Indiana. Have a great summer!

Hi Colin,
Happy 11th Birthday :-)
We had a polar bear roaming around town about a mile from our house this morning. They must be waking up and getting hungry again.
Our weather is getting warmer (0-15 degrees) The sun is out longer now. It starts to get dark when we go to sleep. Pretty soon the sun will stay up for 90 days.
We hope you have fun at the movies with your friends.
Love,
