It is amazing...I cannot believe a year has passed! It is amazing what a journey your family has travelled! Despite the overwhelming evidence that the past 12 months should have been the 'worst' of your lives, I have seen (from a distance) evidence of a Journey of the Souls, into the darkness you all brought light, from the pain you sought reason and purpose.<BR/>I am amazed and inspired by the Spirit and Vision that your family has...<BR/>Well Done Deqlan - you are a true little warrior!<BR/>All my love and absolute respect to Samm, Mark & the rest of the family!Loren Stowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029794638872184342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678149034855216789.post-53362641147719559282008-05-27T02:33:00.000+02:002008-05-27T02:33:00.000+02:00I cant believe it has been a year!!!!

You have endured so much in the past 365 days! I too remember this day exactly one year ago sooooo clearly! Although I push the memory to the farest place in my mind and store it in a very tight sealed memory box I cannot help but acknowledge that today the 25 May 2008 you have changed those memories from the darkest of darkest times to the most wonderful and joyous times of my life! In one faith building year YOU have taught me the meaning of FAITH, YOU have taught me the meaning of BELIEF, YOU have taught me the meaning of HOPE, YOU have taught me the meaning of FAMILY, YOU have taught me the meaning of FORGIVENESS, YOU have taught me the meaning of HUMILITY, YOU have taught me the meaning of COURAGE, YOU have taught me the meaning of NEVER TAKING ONE DAY FOR GRANTED, YOU have taught me the meaning of HONOR, YOU have taught me the meaning of STENGTH! But above all you have taught me the true meaning of JOY, LOVE and HAPPINESS! <BR/>I am also so thankful for what we have been taught this past year and for all the paths that we have crossed and all the new friends we have made - we are all stronger people for it!<BR/>I will NEVER EVER forget the day I told your beautiful mommy that she must think of the chemo running into your little body as the HOLY SPIRIT running through your body! From that moment every time I saw what you had to endure I praised God that he was with you every step of the way and that he was healing you - IN HIS WAY AND IN HIS TIME!!!!!! My Deqlan you indeed have the best parents in the world who would do ANYTHING for you and you love you so unconditionally and you are their world - I do believe that you were first in line when you choose your parents!!! Samm and Mark - I SALUTE you both! You are both the true meaning of INSPIRATION and MOTIVATION and OPTIMISM and HOPE and FAITH! <BR/>Nanna and Grandpa- my mom and Dee, your beautiful grandparents - I do not believe that Samm and Mark could of got through this without of coarse the grace and mercy of our Lord but also your GUIDENCE, ADVICE, POSITIVITY and LOVE!

Each and every day I look at you, I say a silent prayer in my heart knowing that our Lord is listening and I thank him each and ever day for all the lessons you teach me! I am so extremely PROUD of you my boy! I look to you and continue to look to you for courage, strength and wisdom.
