Recently, My moms sisters children have been staying at my house for a day or two at a time so my Aunt can get some rest from being at the hospital. For those of you who haven't heard my nine year old cousin Jane was diagnosed with lukemia about a month ago and has been in the hospital ever since. She has the type of Lukemia that only about 2% of people get so it is very hard to treat and many things have gone wrong. She has started losing all her hair and her mother has gently comforted her in knowing that losing your hair is awesome and it will always come back. We let her know how awesome her new hats look on her and we plan on wearing some too so we all can look great in our beanies! She is finally speaking full sentences and will have a full conversation with me which is such an improvement and comfort. I never imagined how hard it was and what strength you have to have to deal with something like this. I commend Jane's parents for being so strong for Jane and also being there and keeping their other children at the same time. Please keep little Jane in your prayers. I was able to snap a few shots and a video of me, David and my mother entertaining little Mathew and Kate playing in our family room. You have to watch the video and listen to Matt laugh as david twirls him through the air. I don't know what it is about a childs laugh but I can't help but laugh right along with him.
