My Sweet Angel

My nightmare began February 16 of 2008. My son was diagnosed with a Pineal Blastoma. I had no idea what it was or how it would affect him. Little did I know it would snatch him right out of my life an exact year later on February 18 of 2009.

As a two year old that had just learned how to walk & talk, watching as he lost the ability to do both broke my heart. My soldier fought until he couldn’t fight anymore. As a mother, I will do anything to help find a cure so that other parents don’t have to feel the pain or the emptiness that a brain tumor has left me.
