Blade,

I am so very proud of you.  You have been so strong and positive.  I'm sorry that you have to go through this and i pray constantly for God to take this from you.  If  i could, i would switch places with you instantly.  I'm certain God is letting this happen because he has plans for your life and you will only be stronger after you receive healing.  I'm not sure what is in store for your life but you can count on it being filled with purpose and passion. I can say this - during this difficult time, your strength has already put what's most important in perspective for the many people who love you.  I've realized that all the petty things that tear us apart piece by piece and day by day are only taking away from what is really important.  So always remember to;  communicate with your maker, appreciate what He has given you, use your experienced, mistakes, and trials to help and encourage others, and always give more than you take.  Blade, I will always love you unconditionally and I have never been more proud and encouraged of anything in my life like the way I am about your fight against leukemia.  We all know who's gonna win this one...

Thank you to everyone who has given their support.  This is much easier knowing your out there praying and helping our family in every possible way.  My main thought is; If you have something traumatic take place in your life then use that toward an optimistic goal.  "That what the devil uses to destroy, God will use for good".
GOD IS USING YOU!

Love Dad.
