&#8220;If you love me, do not weep.
If you only knew the gift of God and what Heaven is!
If only you could hear the angels’ song from where you
are, and see me among them! If you could only see
before your eyes the eternal fields with their
horizons, and the new paths [...]]]></description>

It is now late the night before we leave for Caitlyn&#8217;s Make a Wish trip. The excitement is well apparent. 8 AM we leave on [...]]]></description>

At the same time, Kathleen pulled some strings and we were able to have the team at Mount Sinai hospital in NY review the same results, my brother [...]]]></description>

In a sense I almost wish I didn&#8217;t know, not sure why but it is frightening to be told of something so rare the doctors don&#8217;t even know what to do. I keep thinking back to the conversation in the ER where you could hear the concern in [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s an early morning meeting with the pediatric surgeon to discuss the life port to be surgically implanted Monday morning. For the most part this day starts out like any other day. Blood tests, travel down stairs to the lobby for some fresh air and Caitlyn had school today at 2PM. Little did I know what [...]]]></description>

Caitlyn&#8217;s biopsy is today, Jan 6th 2009 completing the testing phase to a road map to treatment. Not long after we wake up, Steph and Jen arrive to accompany us down to [...]]]></description>
