Best news I have had in a long time....


This hunka-spunk is my cousins' 13 year old son who has spent the entire year in hospital, over 1200klm's from home. He has endured chemotherapy and physiotherapy and needles and drugs and prodding and operations and had a section of his spine removed. He has shown remarkable courage and spirit. He has a wicked sense of humour and has such strength ....well beyond his thirteen years.

And today, my friends, I can report....he is now CANCER FREEE.


This image was taken in January.

How far he has come.

I look forward to seeing this beautiful smile in my hometown more often!

Congratulations Blade!

Oh that is such great news Jen. I've thought about Blade often since you last posted about him but didn't feel it my place to ask how he was going.....

I'm so so happy for Blade and everybody who adores him. Excellent news.

Do you have this in pink? said...

Your cousin must be able to take a breath withour fear striking her chest for the first time since her boy was diagnosed. That's great news.

As for your housewife porn, well a girl needs a bit of something I guess to get her through the day. Maybe you can let me in on a few titles. I try to read a novel a week ( I have trouble sleeping) but mine are normally more of the mystery, murder etc kind. I wouldn't mind a bit of housewife porn to try though!!!

Happy reading,

Em
