Dear Ben,
Hope you have a great birthday with Mick-mee. Eli, when you find out why
Donald talks the way he does, let me know. Tom and Jennifer, You are
both in my daily prayers, May God keep you strong, focused, and secure
in the knowledge that He loves you more than we can imagine. I pray for
your continued faith and then read this site and have MY faith
reaffirmed. Wonderful how He keeps us going no matter what. Still
hoping, praying, and always Believing.....

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli and Ben I know we haven't communicated much lately but i
want you to know that you are constantly on my mind. I find it difficult
to call and talk cause it's hard to find words to say. I want to
encourage you and pray with you and be there for you. I guess i don't
have the strength to. I love you guys so much. you are such a huge
testimony to me and big role model. if we all had faith just like you do
and especially like Eli, this world would be God's! Have fun down in
Disney. I'll call ya'll when you get back. Ben say hi to Mickey for me.
Love you guys, Josh and Lauren

Dear Ben,
Happy 2nd birthday little man! I hope you have so much fun seeing Mickey
Mouse at Disney World. I really enjoyed Disney World when I went as a
child and I am sure you will too! Ben, tonight my little boy, Jared, was
praying. I told him how you were doing before we prayed. He always asks
for God to make you all better, but tonight, he said, "PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE PLEAAASSSE GOD....PLEASE MAKE BEN FEEL BETTER!" I have never
heard my little five year old pray that diligently about something
before in my life. And tonight, I will do the same. Ben, when you get
back, I would love to bring you by a birthday gift if you are up to it.
And I would really just like to give you a big hug, too. I know Jared
would love to meet you as well. We'll see when you get home. Even though
we have never met you, we love you dearly, and pray that God will
perform a miracle here on earth and heal you so you can stay with your
family here for a long time. You are just so sweet.

Dear Ben,
Eli, Jennifer and Tom, Happy Birthday Ben!! I was so tickled to see all
of you the other day and be able to give you all hugs before your big
trip. Words cannot express the impact you have had on our group at the
store. You are in our thoughts and prayers all the time and reminded us
to enjoy every moment we have with each other. I wish I could see your
faces when you get to Disney, I know you will have a spectacular time. I
look forward to seeing the pictures and am going to try to print them
out for our cast to see. Everytime I see you, Ben, I know that God is
there working miracles. I pray everyday that the biggest miracle of all
will happen and that you get to enjoy many more birthdays. The faith in
God that all of you have is inspiring in the face of what is occuring. I
know God will continue to watch over and guide you in whatever happens.
Give each other big hugs and kisses from all of us. We are there in
spirit with you. Have lots of fun with Mick Mee and Donald and all their

Little
(BIG)Ben, I hope your weekend at Walt Disney World was a blast! The
sharing of your young lifes' story along with that of your family and
friends is an eye opener for myself. Your story has helped keep reality
in the forefront of my mind and reaffirm what is important in life. You
are one lucky boy to be surrounded by so much love and I've seen that
love expressed through that awesome grin & smile shown in your pictures.
I know about you and your family through dear friends of ours, Joe &
Jean Gannon. My wife and I have included you in our prayers and made a
visit to your website this past Thursday night. May God continue to
Bless you and your family! Good luck and I look forward to meeting you.

Tom &
Jennifer, Eli & Ben - My heart is breaking at your news! Having just
gone through this with my grandson little Ben, my prayers are for
strength, grace and FAITH. God can still perform a miracle, He's still
on the throne, and He is still with you!!! Know that I will definitely
be praying for you (still) and that if there is ANYTHING I can do, you
will let me know! Give the boys a kiss for me and hug each other for me!
You will be constantly in my prayers!

Bowens,
WOW, THE DISNEY TRIP IS FINALLY HERE. I bet Big Ben and Eli are so
excited. I wanted to wish you guys a safe and fun trip. I don't really
know what to say. I've never met your family, yet I feel your pain.
Looking at the pic of Ben and his mommy literally put a lump in my
throat. It's like you can almost read her thoughts. You're a beautiful,
strong family and I dearly feel a love for you guys that I've never felt
for people I've never met. I check your webpage daily and when there's a
new update, I hold my breath while I read the inspirational words. O.K.
enough mushy stuff...HAVE A GREAT TIME AT DISNEY. And capture us some
moments with the camera. We all look forward to Ben's birthday
surprises. You deserve to relax and savor every moment with your two
little guys. Give Ben and Eli a big hug from Ripley, WV. GOD BLESS still
praying
