Thank you very much for all of your kind postings, cards, and emails over this past week.  In the span of 5 days, we observed our wedding anniversary, my birthday, and the 2nd anniversary of Andrew going to Heaven.  Your kindness has been overwhelming, humbling, and greatly appreciated.  It means so much to us to hear how Andrew continues to touch your lives.  As brutally difficult as it is to live without Andrew here, we know that he is definitely not forgotten.  I really believe that Andrew is smiling.

And, speaking of smiling, I had a chance to visit with “Smilin Sammy” Bradly and his Mom at AI DuPont Hospital today.  “Smilin Sammy” and Noxah Palomo are two twelve year olds who are serious baseball players and who both have recently been diagnosed with AML leukemia.  Sammy and Noxah (pronounced No-ah) are in the Bone Marrow Unit just two doors away from each other.  It won’t be long before they’ll be having a catch in the hallway.  It was great visiting with Sammy’s Mom and Noxah and his family!  Once I get Caringbridge URLs for them, I’ll pass them along.  Please keep both families in your prayers!

As you will see from the attached URL, there is a very ill 2 year old girl in A.I. DuPont named Mary Coppa Coffey.  The family is asking for prayers and I’m sure they would appreciate the support of the B+ Nation in prayers and messages on their website.  Please visit Mary’s website.  Thank you!

Finally, please also pray for Carrie Maniscalco, our friend from Jackson, MS.  This poor girl has been through so much for so long and has remained so positive.  Her faith is amazing.  I don’t know how she does it.

Thank you, again, for your tremendous support this week.  We appreciate you holding us up.

You are ‘living like Andrew’!
