Chillin' With
Chalk!
Celebrating the end of Patrick's Treatments!
On May 17th, 2002,
Patrick was diagnosed with leukemia. On August 2nd, 2005, he
will finish his treatment! All signs point to a complete
recovery. Patrick's family is celebrating on August 13th, 2005 by
inviting everyone to come to their "Chillin' With Chalk" celebration.
For those of us who cannot be there and want to celebrate with
their family, this board has been set up. So here is the
drill... all you have to do is spend some time with your child
making a work of art with sidewalk chalk and then post a picture of your artwork it here
with your words of congratulations for Patrick and family.
Note that one
other element of the celebration will be to donate money raised
at the event to the Kaiser Pediatric Oncology Clinic in
Sacramento to help those who continue to fight the battle
against leukemia. If you would like to make a donation in Patrick's name,
you can do this by going to the Pay Pal Site and then clicking on the "send money" tab. Then simply send the money to boquist1@yahoo.com and it will be forwarded to the hospital.
Congratulations Patrick!!! You are my hero!!! You will be so many people's hero - you are so strong and amazing! Here's to your bravery and perseverence! Me and Lily have prayed for you for as long as we have been here - I am so excited to be a part of this journey as we get to the happy ending!!!!
And Beth - here is to you and the rest of your family for getting through this all with grace and strength! Your words have always inspired me - and I think of you so often! Always keep the faith and never give up - I know you live by that - and although I can only imagine how difficult this journey has been on you to watch your precious little boy go through so much - look at you all now - it is over and life is GRAND! The gift of tomorrow - what better gift in life could there be!
