From Us to You.....

This is Bobbi and Lance posting this......

Well this last month has been extremely intense and very stressful for our little family. We have been pushed to our limits both physically and emotionally. The diagnosis of Leukemia really hit's you like a rock....like a brick wall. It feels like a nightmare that just won't end. She is way to small and young to have to be going through this. The love a parent has for a child is so very deep. We have never felt so much heart ache and sorrow in our life nor could we begin to imagine it. The way it feels, as a parent, to watch your child suffer and be so completely helpless is agonizing....we have never felt so helpless before.

We both wish so badly it was us going through it and not her. Not our sweet little 2 1/2 year old baby girl. "Why her? Why not me? What did she ever do to deserve this?" are questions we are constantly asking ourselves.

It seems so unbelievably unfair for us to have to sit by the bed, in perfect health, and watch our little Scarlett fight for her life. It's a gut wrenching feeling that we sincerely hope no parent ever has to feel.

Going through this day by day....all the heart ache, the tears, the tests, the results, the pain we have never felt alone. We feel so much support, care, love and concern from so many people. We can't begin to explain how it feels just to know everyones thinking about and praying for Scarlett. We, as parents, are giving her everything we can...all our energy, time, and love. Very often we feel it's just not enough, we wish we could give her more. At those moments, it's incredibly comforting to know that there are so many people out there, sending all their thoughts of love and care and support her way. It's extremely over whelming for Lance and I...all the gifts, messages, phone calls, notes and offers of help in any way at all. We have been showered with them, and we are so grateful to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and family who would clearly do anything for our little girl.

Scarlett is a strong girl. We are very hopeful that with our strength, love and support added to all of yours she will be able to pull through this trial, beat this Cancer, and see the sunshine on the other side. We have no doubt that we would never be able to make it through this alone. Thank you all for everything positive you have, can and will send our way. Like I said, we would never be able to make it through this without you.
