How many have you experienced? All of them?

Pretend you’re a kid. You’ve been sick. Now you’re told it’s cancer. All you can think about is your relative that died from cancer last year.

Now how many can you check off your list? Being open-minded and tolerant is great encouragement when it’s happening to someone else.

Being motionless and scared are the more natural choices.

Dreams

. . . do come true.

Danny Thomas had a dream. It came true in the form of St. Jude.

Doctors have a dream. They are working on cures every day. Success rates are rising.

Kids have a dream. But they are still getting sick.

Don’t give up on your dreams. Someone else may be counting on you for theirs to come true.

I’m a survivor. Latest tests prove it.

But can I trust the results?

I have to or I would go crazy.

Do you face your obstacles by staring at the stumbling block in front of you or do you stay focused on the finish line?

Are you having fun?

Life has its ups and downs. When I visited St. Jude, I expected it to be a downer. Boy was I wrong. I was encouraged by their resiliency and their determination to live rather than give in and accept defeat.

Have a ball with life. Just make sure it’s wrapped up in love.

“Life is like a bouncing ball, it’s up, it’s down, it’s all around.” Stephanie Ramey (in honor of Matthew Ramey)

What do the letters of the alphabet look like to you?

The patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital are responsible for the Alphabet Wall. It’s real. It’s relevant.

So taking a cue from the kids, always have faith.
