Sunday and Monday, November 28 and 29,

Well, the rest of Sunday was pretty good. I laid around and watched movies and read my book. I watched TBS and they had a movies on. So, I watched Dr. Suess's Cat in the Hat, Shark Tale, and some of Bring It On: In It To Win It. Then, I watched the Blind Side with my mom. It was really good!

Today, I woke up and got ready to begin another week of school. I ate the 2 cinnamon rolls that were left and let me tell you, they were GOOD! I love me some cinnamon rolls!(: I got to school. First period, was boring as usual. Stupid Mrs.Gentry, lol. Second period, was boring. We took a stupid practice release SOL test again. The same on we took earlier that year. Third period, was okay. Just learning the new lesson. Lunch, was pretty good. It was kind of boring but oh well. Home ec, was fun! I sat and talked to Jake the whole time and got to help AJ. Gym was, well, gym. We had free day so it wasn't so bad. Last period, was okay. We talked about Jewish people. Yeah, I don't listen much. I came home and talked to Bethany for a while before I went inside. I read some of my book and then, here I am now. My mom's trying to get me to go to the funeral home and see my aunt's sister. No, her sister isn't my aunt because my dad's brother is married to my aunt so, the one that died isn't really related to me. I really just want to relax tonight. I have a headache and my hip has been hurting on and off today so I don't want to go. We'll see, I guess.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, November 26, 27, and 28,

Well, Friday was FUN! I woke up and went on the computer some. I was having a lazy day until Katie called and wanted me to spend the night. Megan and Maddy were spending the night, too, so they came down her and started knocking on my window. It was hilarious! Grayson was with Katie, too. We went to her house and played hide-and-seek. We had some pretty good hiding spots! The first time, Katie and I went to look for Megan, Maddy, and Grayson. They all hid together so it wasn't hard to find them! Then, Megan and Maddy counted and I hid behind a trash can and Katie hid behind a wheelbarrow. I don't know where Grayson hid! They found Grayson first and then Katie and I had to come out. I was like 20 feet away from Katie! I had black on so it was hard to see. It was fun. Once, Megan, Maddy, and I hid in the leaves. They were found before me! Haha! Once I hid in the truck. Grayson climbed 2 trees! Speaking of trees, one of them had a rope to help you climb it for people like me that can't reach the first limb. Well, I decided to try and get up there. I was about to get on the first limb when I heard a snap! I fell kind of tilted on my right side and ended up on my back! It hurt! I caught myself with my right hand more than my left and I thought I broke my wrist! I landed on my right hip, too! It was horrible! I didn't care though. Anyway, Katie hid on the roof of the building behind her house. It was fun! The last time, we had gotten tired of playing. Grayson and Maddy were counting. Megan sat on the thing behind Katie's house. Katie laid down next to it in the dark. The neighbors had these steps that led up to there porch and I just laid down on them. They walked right past all of us! Then, Maddy saw Megan. Then, they walked away for a while. Then, they came back and found Katie. I can't believe they didn't see me! The steps weren't light but they weren't dark either! If they would have looked they could have seen me! It was crazy! We went inside and went to the basement. We just hung out playing the piano, guitar, and talking on the phone with this gay Mexican guy from Texas. It was pretty funny! We talked to him for over 2 hours. He even sang Don't Stop Believing for us!  It was amazing! lol, Megan and I were picking on Grayson while texting me and Grayson wanted to see what we were saying so he stole my phone. So, we started on this big chase to get my phone! Katie was telling him to go lock himself in the bathroom. Well, I just happened to be near the bathroom so I went over there and locked the door and left it open so when he went in he would "lock" it but it would actually unlock it because it was already locked. It was genius! It worked too! We got my phone back and he didn't see the messages! It was good. Then, me and him were playing tug-of-war with a pillow and he let go and my face slammed into the corner of the chair. It HURT! I thought my right cheekbone was broke! It hurt worse than my fall! After only a minute or 2, it went numb and I couldn't feel anything which was probably a good thing! Then, Maddy threw a baseball at the other side of my face! It was just my night to get hurt I guess! Then, Grayson left and we had a girls night! It was awesome! We finally went to sleep about 3. We woke up at 1, lol! About 30 minutes later, my mom called and asked did I want to go with her to the grocery store, come home and stay be myself, or stay up there. Well, I decided to stay by myself. After a while with people, I need peace and quiet for a while. I don't know why but ever since May or so, I needed quiet after I did something with a lot of people. Like at Robin's church camp, I had to just stay in the cabin for 10 minutes be myself so I wouldn't go crazy. I needed quiet and with the girls in my cabin, it wasn't going to happen! So when they went to the pool, I stayed for a few minutes to let me get my peace.

Saturday- Well, I kind of said some of Saturday in Friday. I came home and watched tv and laid around. I didn't want to do anything. We did end up going the Sam's and then coming home but that was it. My mom and I watched Ramona and Beezus at night! It was so cute! I loved it! If you haven't watched it, you should! Then, I watched a little more tv and went to bed.

Sunday- I've only been up 2 hours so this won't be long. I don't plan on doing anything today! I'm staying home and relaxing! Today was cinnamon roll day!(: My mom and I have a deal. The last Saturday in every month we have cinnamon rolls! Well, since I spent the night with Katie, I couldn't. So, we moved it until today! They were REALLY good! They are the best things you will ever put in your mouth! They are definitely my favorite EVER! That brings me up until now. I'm listening to Taylor Swift again! I'm about to go watch some tv so I'll update later!

Happy Birthday, Layla!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

 Layla would have been 3 years old but...

Layla went to the angels after a 10 month battle with a childhood cancer called Neuroblastoma on March 9, 2010.

There should have been more the TWO birthdays!

We love and miss you SO much, baby girl!

Dance and play with the angels.

 

Layla Grace Marsh

11/26/07-3/9/10

 

Those dates are just too close together .

 

PS- I couldn't get online for her birthday so I'm posting it now.

Thursday, November 25,

Well, today I woke up and posted as you can see. I took a shower and got ready to go to my in laws house. We had a lot of fun with my niece, Katie; brother, Brian; sister-in-law, Carrie; mother-in-law, Vera; father-in-law, Richard; and my mom and dad and me. Katie's almost 3. Gosh, where has the time gone? I remember going to the hospital to see her. I remember finding out Carrie was pregnant! That was a joyful day! It was just after my birthday. It was bittersweet. Katie is full of energy! She's so cute! (I have to say myself.) She has the prettiest blue eyes and most beautiful blonde curls. We played hide-and-seek, "run from the big. bad wolf", and many more. She is so adorable. I haven't seen her since Halloween. I can't wait to see her for Christmas! Anyways, I came home and now here I am. Today was an okay day.

My little warrior, Max Nunn, went to heaven today at 2:05 p.m. after a 20 month battle with a rare brain tumor called Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor or PNET of the Central Nervous System or CNS. It was grade 4 and had already spread to his spinal column at diagnoses. This picture was of Max's last smile. He was in a lot of pain at the end but now he is pain free. Rest in peace, little buddy. Max Nunn 2/6/03-11/25/10 We love and will miss you a lot, little guy.<3

So anyway. My mom has gone to Toys R Us to get my new iPod touch for Christmas. I have a old one that is 8. I'm getting the new one (with the camera) and 32. That is $300 but when you buy it, they give you a $50 dollar Toys R Us gift card so she is going to use that on presents for Katie and Caleb. I can't wait! We are going to look at cameras sometime for me! Yay! Well, I'll be getting off for now. I'm going to start a post about things about me. This should be interesting. Goodnight and hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 25,

Well, today's Thanksgiving Day. I've been thinking a lot about how much my life has changed in the past year. Pretty much since September 2009. That's when I was care free. I lived life like a party. I hadn't lost anyone close to me. I hadn't gone through a tough time. I always got what I wanted. I didn't care about real life. I wanted to be stupid. I didn't wear my seat belt half of the time unless I was with my family. My friends meant more to me than anything even my family. I was stupid back then. Today, I'm more thankful for what I have. I've lost many people close to me. I wear my seat belt every time. I don't party as much. I don't act like a hoe anymore. I don't talk about sex with guys. I don't take life for granted. I love my family and friends more. I keep in touch with friends that have moved away. I look at the world a different way. I love my life more. I'm thankful for everyday I get to spend on earth with my friends and family. I look at kids a different way. I'm grateful for their innocence. I cherish the time I get with friends and family. Everything reminds me of something in the past no matter good or bad. I've changed a lot. Grown up before I should have had to but life didn't want me to stay young any longer. I think about the future more. I wonder about things I shouldn't. Most kids my age, my thoughts would never cross their mind. But for me, it happens everyday. I've grown closer to my family and friends. I've changed a lot! I could go on all day but I won't. Here's some things I'm thankful for this year. These are just a few. I could go on forever with this list.

1. That God gave me life to live on this earth.
2. That Jesus died on the cross for my sins so I don't have to burn in hell.
3. God gave me the best parents a girl could have. They can be tough sometimes but it's just because they love me.
4. God gave me the best friends ever. They always have my back and I know when I need them they'll be there.
5. That God put so many amazing kids in my life. I will never forget my heroes.
6. God gave me parents that can get me the stuff I need and even some stuff I want. That they can afford me a laptop, phone, iPod, tv, ect. I know some families aren't fortunate enough to have that.
7. God gives me the knowledge in school and I get good grades. I will really need them for college.
8. God put Tyler in my life. Even though he took him back home, I am grateful for the 4 years I got to spend with Tyler's crazy butt. I'll remember him forever especially, that last night with him.
9. God put Ellie in my life. She's the person that dug me out of the ditch when Tyler died. If it wasn't for her, I don't know where I would have been today. I wish I could have thanked her so much for that. I miss her so much.
10. God put Layla in my life. She had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Her strength in her last days was incredible. I wish I could be as strong as her. She defined all the odds during her fight. She was amazing.
11. God put Trey in my life. We never got to meet until after he was gone but that was a happy day. I wanted to go to the hospital with him but never got the chance. He looked beautiful at the funeral though. He defined the odds many times. I remember back in February, they told us he wouldn't make it. We prayed and then a surgeon came in and said he could do one more surgery to try and help. The surgery worked. But then, Trey started bleeding so much in September. We knew it was the end.
12. God gave me everything I have and everyone I love.
13. God helped me get through losing Tyler, Layla, Ellie, and Trey.
14. God's giving me the ability to help kids with cancer.
15. God is going to help me through whatever lies in the future.

Have a happy Thanksgiving! Hope every has fun with family and friends and stays safe.

Wednesday, November 24,

Well, today has been okay. I went to school. First period sucked because Austin was absent today. Second period was the same. Since we got out at 1 today, we had 7th period before 3rd period. Well, 7th period was okay. Third period was fun. We didn't do anything but play chess and checkers. It was really fun. Home ec was the best! Jake, Brandon, Corey, Tori, Christian, and I played blackjack all period. We were betting things like gum, jolly ranchers, mints, ect. It was a lot of fun! I bet all my stuff. I had 3 jolly ranchers. I ended up with a piece of gum. Oh well! It was fun! I then came home and relaxed on the computer some. Then, Katie called and wanted to hang out so we went up to her house. We were going to go to AT&T to get her new phone fixed and get her mom a new phone because she doesn't like the one she has, and well, there were about 30-40 people OUTSIDE waiting to get in! So, instead, we went to Petco! It was fun looking at all the animals. It's my favorite part. My favorite are the fish! I could watch fish all day! There are just so cool to watch. Well, anyways, we went and picked up Shawnie! We went to Mama Possum's after that! It was really good! I got 2 plain hot dogs and french fries! I also drink a cup of Dr. Pepper. It was really good! We then went to Katie's house and chilled. We went outside for a bit with Andrew, Nick, Ali, and Cody. Nick and Ali left and the rest of us shot basketball for a while. Then, Katie, Andrew, and I went inside and they played Wii while I watched. Grayson Taylor and KJ came over for a bit but I left a little after that. Katie wanted me to go to church tonight but I'm just too tired. I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow! I came home and now, I feel sick at my stomach and my hip hurts. I ate without medicine so I have to eat again but my stomach hurts and I don't want to eat so I can't take any medicine. I am going to try to wait until I don't have to force food down my throat. We'll see how that goes. Today, was pretty good. Tomorrow will be 2 months since Trey went to heaven. I miss him a lot. I will post on him tomorrow. Well, I'll leave you with that for tonight.

I have a couple prayer request:

Nathan Gregory Querin 12/13/10-11/23/10 Nathan fought a 2 year fight with Plueropulmonary Blastoma Type III. Please pray for his family.

Max Nunn was diagnosed with a Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor or PNET of the Central Nervous System or CNS on March 16, 2009. It had metastasized to his spinal column. September 21, 2010, their worst fears were confirmed. Max had relapsed but not only that, it was covering his entire brain with a vengeance. He also had tumors inside his brain. Max's parents tried all the medicine possible but Max had a CT scan yesterday which showed his tumors had increased by 25%. He will soon be with the Lord. He is only 7 years old. Please pray for pain free and peaceful transition. Please also pray for his parents and sister, Lily. (Max became an angel today, November 25, at 2:05 p.m. To say it was painful is an understatement but he is pain free now.)

Anna Wilkerson was diagnosed with Ewings sarcoma, bone cancer in her left shoulder blade. After 6 months, her tumor returned. A few months later, 2 new tumors were found on her spine. After 3 months of remission, Anna relapsed again in her left hip. There was no more chemotherapy that could help her. Radiation was her only hope. Anna was sent home after radiation to never return again except for scans. She had no more treatment options and if radiation worked and killed the cancer, GREAT! If she relapsed or continued to have cancer after radiation, she would die with in a couple months. Today, Anna is in extreme pain and will soon be with the Lord. Anna is only 14 years old.  Please pray for pain free and peaceful transition. Please pray for her family as well. (Anna flew up to heaven on November 27,2010 at 2:30 p.m.! She is finally pain free!)

Mary Eisnor was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma in July 2006 when she was 3 years old. She had a lung and liver resection. She has had numerous relapses and has participated in w hand full of clinical trials. July 27, 2010, Mary had a large tumor in her liver and 3 "micro" lesions and also a place on her pelvis. By August 7, Mary had 8 tumors on her liver and more other places. She was taken off the clinical trial and it was decided she would stop treatment. Soon she, too, will be with the Lord. Her 8th and last birthday was November 21. Today, her chest is expanding outward and is probably full of cancer. Please pray for peace and pain free last days. Please pray for her family through this time, too. (Mary has sores on her back and bottom that are causing a lot of pain. Please pray she stops being in pain and the sores heal.)

Gage Dole was diagnosed with Ewings sarcoma in June 8, 2005 at the age of 3. The cancer had not spread, it was under 5 cm, Gage was young, and the LDH was low... all good. The negative was the location they could not operate near the spinal cord. Chemotherapy and radiation were used to reduce the tumor. In April 2006, Gage was in remission! On October 5th, Gage had scans which were clear but blood work came back abnormal. Gage was diagnosed with a second cancer. Treatment related AML. Leukemia. Gage had a bone marrow transplant on February 21, 2007 and was in remission for 8 months before a mass was found in the original place. It was found to be Ewings sarcoma. Gage began chemo again. Gage completed treatment with no infections, complications, need for blood products or hospitalizations thanks to the help of accupuncture, Omega-3 suppliment, Probiotics and juicing. Unfortunately, Gage relapsed 6 months later. Then, remission and another relapse in March 2009. On August 25, 2010, Gage was sent home on hospice. He is only 8 years old. Gage sleeps most days and is stable right now pain medicine and oxygen wise. Please pray for pain free and peaceful transition. Please pray for his family, too. (Gage is now paralyzed from waist down.)
Well, I'll leave you with those. There are so many more. I could post all day. Please pray for every person fighting cancer or other disease. Pray for everyone. Everyone needs some kind of prayer.

5 months without Ellie,

Ellie Shoal Potvin was healed from cancer on June 23, 2010. She fought stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma for 2 years. It was in her hip/pelvis area, trunk, and lungs. Today, marks 5 months since she grew her angel wings. Ellie touched many people in her short 8 years. Everyone that she touched loves her more than words! We miss her just as much! Her legacy will go on and she will never be forgotten.

P.S.- Sorry about the delay. I was on my computer last night typing it and my computer died and I didn't have my charger. I was just about to post it and then, it died. But anyway, it's here now.
