I keep getting frustrated by my problems and issues around here, but this makes all of my problems seem very insignificant. I have no words to properly express how bad I feel for you and your family. I just picked up a car a few days ago that a 17 year old girl was killed in, as I left the impound yard her father came in. I could barely see to drive as I left for the tears it is the same as I type this. I cannot imagine what I would do in either situation. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

Feed him anything he wants.
I am going to ask this despite the people thinking I am insane. Have you and you wife thought of any of the "alternative" therapies? I mean no disrespect of the doctors. It is just that some have made claims on natural medicines that help and seem to even destroy cancer cells.
I will continue to have Owen in my prayers and heart.

We asked Owen's Oncologist about a few things my wife had read about. He said he has an open mind and researches a lot of them. He hasn't found anything that accually does what it claims. Finding new and better treatments for Owen's type of cancer is his mission in life. If there was something even extremely remote, he would have wanted us to try it.

Regardless of the outcome you and your wife are doing what Owen needs. That's loving him with all your hearts and that's incredible in its self!

Darren, I have been following your posts since the beginning, hoping against hope that the news would some day get better. All I can do is offer what little support I can give you.
You and Dennis were always there when I had questions on my build but that seems so trivial now. Our children are everything to us and to see them hurting wrenches our gut out. All I can say is be strong. Of course, our prayers have been with Owen and his family and will continue to be. Keep the faith.

With two little ones of my own I can’t imagine what you must be going through right now. Thoughts and prayers for you and Owen.

The pain medicine is starting to not work very well. He is tossing and turning all night.

We've had a lot of family over every day which has been nice. My wifes coworkers all pitched in and bought us about 7 bags of groceries. Are cupboards are stocked.

My sister took me shopping yesterday and helped me pick out two nice outfits. I havn't had to dress up in a long time...everything I had was too small.

I've got a lot of the arrangements already taken care of. I talked to my parents church, the funeral home and the cemetery. The more I can get done now the better.

Knowing what will come must be very Painful for you and the rest of your family. I unfortunately know and understand your pain as I lost my daughter in 1983. I wish you and your family well and the strength to carry on.

Is there anything moparts members can do to help? How are you sitting on arrangements? I know when Maddox passed away friends of the family all brought food to help the family for months after just to help off set hospital bills and grocery shopping was one less thing they had to do. We also did find raisers after his passing that really helped the family both financially but more importantly emotionally.

Right now we are doing OK. We have some meals in the freezer and we just got bags of groceries yesterday.

St Jude is an awsome place. All of the costs are taken care of for you.(except for things back home that have to get paid no matter if you're there or not)We set up a medical account with all the money friends and family had been giving us. We havn't had to touch that. We are thinking about giving one of Owen's classmates a scholarship in 2027 with the money.

Never have I spent more time on editing a short post - I hope it comes out the way I intend. Your calmness and grace through this are a tremendous inspiration Darren - Owen is lucky to have you both as parents. I can think of very very few folks who could handle this like you have and I for one am grateful to have been included in this story. May your remaining days with him be spent filled with love and building memories and may God continue to grant you all peace and strength.
