Good morning Sherry, Well....yesterday afternoon a good friend of mine brought dinner by and also brought a copy of your book. My friend began to explain to me how she had met you and your husband at the gift show while she was shopping for our church's book/gift store in July. It was a week or so after my son Addison (13) died also from a brain tumor. Gina, I think, was not sure when the right time to give me this book would be, and it turned out the yesterday was God's perfect timing. Yesterday I was feeling so desperate for someone to really grasp and understand what we had been through. On Sunday evening my husband Gary and I were talking about while the loss of Addison is the most overwhelming sadness, the fight was what so few around us could have any remote understanding of. Are we in a state of post traumatic stress? I think that is part of it. I am so missing the days of being with Addison and having the opportunity to care for him. Every moment was an honor being his mother and I long for even the most difficult days back. Sunday evening I asked God for his help.(.baby steps) - to help us out of this fog, to help us not feel so alone. I prayed that He would simply give me the strength to just get through tomorrow and that he would give me some direction and some 'sign' that he was really listening to me right now!. Our faith is strong - but I admit that it has been rocked these past few months. I know that God put it on Gina's heart to bring me your book yesterday. Thank you Lord Jesus! Immediately when I opened the book the first picture that it flipped to was of Zach lying on the radiation table with the mask on. I burst into tears - yes because it broke my heart for Zach and for Addison, but it also took my breath away that there was another family walking right along side of us. Addison was also diagnosed in 2005. Our family also traveled all over the country to try to find answers. Addison also had proton beam radiation - in Boston. We had so much hope and I never questioned that the Lord was going to heal Addison. I would love to correspond with you either by phone or via e-mail, my contact information is below. Thank you for sharing your story - Jill Toole Type your comment here.
