My prayer was that Ben didnt suffer a child should never have to go through that and a parent should never have to see it. I praise God you are Christians because without the knowing where Ben is now and knowing you will see him again is more comfort then you could ever see. Even thought it will feel like forever for you it will feel like seconds for him hes always with you even though his body isnt there he is. You are in my deepest prayers God is holding you all together forever. xoxo Nanny Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228536924935928890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530176397776015894.post-73676655867661770382014-05-15T06:08:29.802-07:002014-05-15T06:08:29.802-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914252068737421686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530176397776015894.post-44784334392809348972014-05-14T12:51:53.183-07:002014-05-14T12:51:53.183-07:00I don't know your family.

I have a friend that has gone through the same thing and his name is John David Crowe… his wife's name is Jessica. Their son Noah was a blast and a joy through all he endured. I believe you will find great comfort in their ministry and their love for families with children and brain cancer. His website is johndavidcrowe.com … His email is John@johndavidcrowe.com I think if you get a moment to send him a note, he will contact you and mourn with you and pray with you and understand with you… because none of us can understand until we live it… I'm just so sorry.

I wish there was a way to be able to say the right things to help or to ease the pain some but I know there isn't. I lost my daughter to colon cancer 3 years ago and I empathize with what you say and feel so deeply. In the last days we had to sedate Tommi bc the pain was so intense, I held her and talked w her awhile before they gave her the meds and told her that when she woke up she would be with God and wouldn't be in pain anymore, she said 'I want that mommy, I wish you could go with me.'. I hope that you can feel the same peace I do knowing that your baby, your love will be with God and pain free. In christian love, from one angel mother to another. <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08184379941902851430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530176397776015894.post-53355327693312548182014-05-12T19:32:41.206-07:002014-05-12T19:32:41.206-07:00May God grant you the strength and courage to get ...May God grant you the strength and courage to get through this extremely difficult time.

I have prayed continually for Ben and your family and a few times a day I think about you guys. I have a 5 year old son and can't even imagine going through this with him so my heart just breaks for you all. The other night I lay in bed just crying and praying to God that he would either perform a miracle and completely heal Ben or take him home as his times of pain must be unbearable for you. I pleaded with God saying it was too much, too much for any parent to deal with and how could he let his child go through this? Then it hit me like a ton a bricks. You see, I know the gospel well. I know that God sent his perfect son to suffer and die on the cross. I always thought about the crucifixion from the point of Jesus. It never occurred to me how difficult it was for God to watch his son suffer like that. It gave me a whole knew appreciation for the gospel and what was done on my behalf. Here I was crying out to God saying it was too much yet forgetting he went through the very same thing and knows more than anyone how difficult it is. I will continue to pray for your family constantly. I just wanted you to know that your situation has revealed to me a whole other side that I never had thought about before. I have a new appreciation and perspective...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503557201235173515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530176397776015894.post-79780273895586180742014-05-11T16:03:22.253-07:002014-05-11T16:03:22.253-07:00In praying for your family today, God put it on my...In praying for your family today, God put it on my heart that He is present with you in your sorrow- like how he wept with Mary and Martha when Lazarus died in John 11.
