With the better days behind us now..
The other day we took two of Kyle's students to Mcdonalds.
They were ages five and six
We arrived at their apartment..which was down in the welfare housing community
and there they all sat...in their tiny living room.
The first thing i noticed was how tired their parents looked...
it was devastating.
The 5 year old was recently diagnosed with Leukemia,
and his treatment is now practically taking over their lives
But you wouldn't believe how happy these kids were.
"When I get better.."
He told us all about his visits to the hospital..how the chemo worked,
how annoying his port was..
how his brother had to help him remember what foods he can and can't eat,
how he has to take a year off of school..
and all the while I'm wondering how they could keep a smile on their face..
He has a deadly disease;
but he's still happy.
He has to wear a mask everywear that he goes,
but he's still happy.
He's always in pain
but he's still happy...
It made me realize that my "problems"...
aren't really that important.
edit-
I've seen too much of this.
I can't handle it

Rest in peace Jordan Roman.
It's amazing how you can see someone ..
and in a matter of hours they're taken away.
We love you, "Porter"

"The sufferings that we endured after our love began -
all of which might help to make pardonable, or understandable, the lapses
and darknesses which at times marred our lives -
and to explain how these never touched our depths nor dimmed our memories of our youthful love.
Forever, we still met in the woodland glade, and went
hand in hand..
many times to escape the shadow of imminent death
before our last parting."
