i know that many people read this blog. somedays there have been as many as 300 visits. from camden to germany.
so for those that found us today...please stay with me for a minute. i just read a "zoe update". i'm going to cut and paste a part of what erin (zoe's mom) wrote. to catch some of you up...zoe is a 4 year old little girl. diagnosed with a neuroblastoma about a month ago. she is currently undergoing treatment at arkansas children's hospital. she has just endured round one of chemo.
I recall a night when Zoe was just a few weeks old...just after I had nursed I held her for a few minutes before laying her down to bed. I began to cry, a deep cry from the depth of my soul. I just felt that I loved her to the point that it hurt. I had never felt such emotion. Through the last few weeks I have tried to remain positive and have suppressed so much emotion. After the events of this week, I broke tonight. I felt that same hurt as I stroked her hair. Her hair is beginning to come out...just tonight this has begun. I know this is the least of our worries but to me is just one more thing that represents that beast.
She is having a nightmare now and I will close.
as i type this...my heart breaks all over again. i don't even have the words. i cannot find them.
i just ask you as a friend of the braden family...to please pray for erin and zoe. and for ben, zoe's dad. and the rest of their wonderful family.
they need pray now more than ever.
thank you all. we love you all.

About Me

- i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
