So happy to hear that you guys are home. I may try to come down for a visit but I'm unsure of timing. I'll PM you if it looks like it'll work.

I'm tearing up keeping up with this. You are a very strong man. It too just breaks my heart thinking about Owen. I pray this week for strength for you and your family. Most of all I pray God's hands are wrapped around Owen and comforts him and eases his pain. I pray God gives you and your family every moment possible and Owen when the time comes will go peacefully without pain and suffering. Again thank you for sharing your angel with us. He has touched us all.

Friends who lost their boy march 2nd had a friend who took still shots of Maddox that the parents took in his short life. They then put them on a slide show with music. They played that at the funeral before hand. Very touching. It's now on YouTube under Maddox April 11 - march 13 if you need ideas.
Just trying to get you ideas that other parents did when faced with same situation. It's 10 to 1 and all I can think about is Owen and wishing there was something I found do to help.

When I was back home for a month working, I found this video on the camera that my wife had taken. I had forgotten about it. I edited it a little and put it on Youtube so I could always look at it. He had just gotten back to Target House after getting a round of high dose chemo but was full of energy.

A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. But...there is no word for a parent who loses a child, that's how awful the loss is.

May the almighty God grant your family fortitude in this time of trial. Gratitude in the years ahead for the amazing gift that is Owen - for the Angels of heaven stand in awe of humans; for despite their human frailty, they alone can offer up their suffering to God for the sake of others as Christ did.

May God bless Owen and your family.

....glad he's with his dog. that's pretty important especially at that age....heck even at my age if I was stricken with something like this i'd find great comfort with my dog. God bless ya all.





I can't even imagine what you and your family are experiencing... but if nothing else, I'm glad you, Owen and the family are home so he can be with everyone who loves him in a familiar place (with his dog). That video was so sweet - his laughing brought tears to my eyes, I'm sure you will cherish that for years.. I wish I were closer, I'd love to come over and get some photos for you.
Hopefully the thoughts, prayers and well-wishes of your Moparts family can provide you a little bit of comfort.

What a fighter! What a great Mom and Dad, too. Obviously Owen's time here has been a blessing.

Darren, first, thank you...for sharing your
story about Owen's struggle with all of us, that alone takes alot of courage. Second, I know from
personal experience what you and your family, are going through. My first wife, Julie lost her long
battle with cancer in the spring of 1998 at the young age of 38. Third, I will continue to pray for Owen, you and your family. May God bless you, and give you peace, and strength to continue to fight this awful disease as long as it takes.

Darren, I am so sorry for what you, Owen, and your family have been through and are still going through. I hope knowing that your son has touched so many may bring you some peace and comfort some day. This has made me hug my own kids a little tighter and a little longer.
