Hey Bowen
family. It's your favorite PTAT! I just wanted to say hi. I've been
reading your updates and just want to say that you all are in my prayers
as you prepare to make your journey home. It is so amazing to see all of
the things that have come out of Big Ben's story. Such a GIANT outreach
to people all over from such a small boy. I am so proud of him he has
really come a long way. Like your nurse said God must think you all are
strong people to give you such a big challenge. But I bet if you were to
ask He would say that He could not be more pleased with the love you
have for eachother and the huge faith you have in Him. Big Ben had
deffinately touched my life and you all will forever be in my prayers. I
wish you the best and hope that the transition from St. Jude to home
will be a smooth one. God bless you all. In His Grip, Lindsey

Man - I'd
hate to be the person in charge of moving you all out of TH! How many
U-Hauls does that require?! Praying for peace as you get ready for your
"new normal" at home home home. Home is good, home is where you belong.
You'll fall back into it more easily than you can imagine. And St. Jude
is just a phone call/e-mail away. If only you could take the friends
you've made with you...I can tell you from experience, they are hard to
live without. xxo to all of you.

I wish

fire station, the one across from St. Jude and we talked about Ben going

Dear Ben,
I am a host at Firebirds Restuarant in Memphis. You and your family came
in tonight(10-3-2004), to eat and i was blown away by your story. bothu
and your family have inspired me to look at life in a totally different
perspective. I was so touched by you and your family, i came straight
home to read your whole story on your web site. Im sure you get many
letters each day from different people about many different things, but
i just wanted you to know that you and your family have many powers for
inspiring people you meet. You and your family are both in my prayers
now, and i want you to know that no matter the outcome, god was, is, and
always will be with you and your family, and that you have left many
marks on many people's hearts! God Bless you and your family, and
everything will work out! Your in my prayers, Fran HIll

That
little Savannah is my little niece. I keep hearing the cutest stories
about her saying things like that. It is so encouraging to have a four
year old show us what's up. Keep your head up and your eyes on the
prize. Love, Jessica

Good
Monday morning guys! It must be a whirlwind of activity there today -
hope that big substitute toy box comes in handy as a going home box. We
have one thought for you today as we pray for you and the boys,
something that continues to repeat over and over like that song you
can't get off your mind once you hum it - let not your hearts be
troubled - believe in me. And the peace of God which passes all
understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. The
peace we can't begin to understand will keep not only your hearts but
your minds as well through these next few days. Strength & peace to you
all, T&N

Every
moment I get, I am praying for you, that the Lord will give you even
more peace about this transition. Thank you so much for sharing your
pain. It helps all of us to, in a way, bear your burden with you. Hope
you have time to enjoy this time in Memphis. Love, Allison

I was
cleaning windows this weekend at a friends house. As I did this I
imagined them sitting in their home looking out at the splender of God.
I kept singing this song in my head: Behold your God and lift him high,
Let your praises reach the sky, That all the nations of the world ,
Might come to know His grace, Might worship in His presence, And bow
before His face. It's really an awesome praise CD. I have been thinking
about all of you more and more as the day draws near for you to return
home. No most of us can not relate to you on the deep level of Tammy and
David. Most of us won't know what to say or do for you but we care and
want to be there for you just the same. Most of us feel quite impotent
when it comes to meeting your needs but we love and care for you all
very deeply. Seeking,praying,believing - RNforHIM

Ben, I
met you at the zoo on Sunday. I was with my daughter, Sarah, who is a
nurse at St. Jude. You were with your big brother and your mom and dad.
I could tell from talking to all of you for just a short time that your
family is blessed by an abundance of love and faith. I will keep you in
my prayers and have asked all of my family and friends to do the same.

I don't
know where to begin. I get on the internet in the mornings to be able to
check on you all. I pray for you constantly. God has placed each and
every one of you in my heart and I don't really know how to explain. I
found myself this morning after getting my oldest little girl on the
bus, trying to go back to sleep. Sleepy and exhausted as I was, I
couldn't stop thinking of you all. I just started praying again. I want
you to know that your story has touched my heart in so many ways. I
think God has allowed me to find your story to help me pray for the
other children out there. I didn't really think about how many children
and families that there are out there suffering and battling as hard as
they can. I really look forward to seeing the updates on your site. I am
praying for you all continually!!! Prayers and Love in Christ! Tina,
Hannah, Emily & Abigail
