Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 thru Thursday, July 30th, 2009 Happy Birthday Dylan! Seven years old! It's been awhile since our last update (a year to be exact). We are blessed to be celebrating Dylan's 7th birthday. It was an interesting year. Dylan is doing great.Dylan and Gianna both graduated kindergarten in June. They're getting ready for the first grade. We visited the Padre Pio Center in Barto for the Our Lady of Fatima statue pilgrimage a few weeks ago. We'll be going to visit Ray this week as well. We've been discussing taking down Dylan's site (for a few reasons that I'd rather not get into). However, we have decided to keep it up for the time being. Many many people have told us that they have found hope in Dylan's story at a time when they found no hope elsewhere. Dylan's story is a testimony to God's goodness and His power, and the possibilities that open up for us when we put our hope not in earthly things, but in God. We are just so grateful for each and every day. Life is a gift, and we are thankful for each day that God gives us. On a sad note, there's a little boy named Cristian Rivera who passed on in January of this year. Please visit his site. His father, John, is starting a foundation in Cristian's name to raise money for diffuse pontine glioma research. I met John just a few times, but I saw in him someone who would've fought his way through the depths of hell if it could've saved his son. His love for his son is inspiring, and I ask that you visit his site and offer your prayers for the success of his foundation. I will try to get around to posting some updated pictures in the coming weeks. For now, thanks so very much for your continued support and prayers. God bless. Home
