Today I
met a celebrity unlike any other, his name is Big Ben as his dad said. I
work at the Coral Reef in Epcot as a waiter, and I took care of Ben and
his family for dinner. I want to say that Ben is a champ, a fighter and
a star in my book. I think Ben is one of the bravest children I have
ever met and one with a huge smile. I have taken care of thousands of
guest and hundreds of VIP's, but no one has such a great smile and
loving nature as the little boy I met tonight at the Coral Reef. You
will be in my heart forever. God Bless... Johnny Your humble servant.

We are so
proud of you Big Ben! We've been following your story through our dear
friend Hanna's website and have been spreading the word of prayer for
you and your family! I can tell you're having a blast in Disney--the
tears just flowed as I read how awesome people can be! We are thinking
of you...

Hi little
man, heard your daddy on the radio a while back on my way to work and
your family's story really touched my heart. Then yesterday I seen you
on a billboard on Rt.60 and remembered your story all over again:-) Just
to let you and your family know that you are in our thoughts. And from
what I'm told Momma it takes a strong woman to raise boys. Your doing a
perfect job. Sometimes it just takes another person to tell you that,
but your baby is still with you so march on and God be with you:-) God
Bless, Shelby

Ben and
his wonderful family are such an inspiration. Our son Brendan was has
recently begun treatment for medulloblastoma, and I was blessed to find
Ben's site while research. This is new territory for us, and your faith
and spirit in such trying times is inspirational. God bless you all.

Dear
Bowen's, You all are such a true testament of unwavering faith and
humble appreciation to a wonderful and loving God. With all the
uncertainty and fear that you have, you have marched forward, always
looking to the Lord for strength and love. And then in return giving
that love back to those who need it. Eli's tribute to Hanna was one
example of how God helps us help others. Thanks Eli. Believing!!!

Eli and
Big Ben- you guys are so photogenic! I love the pictures that your Mom
and Dad share! You guys have the best smiles ever! You have no idea how
it blesses me to look at your Disney pictures. You are both amazing,
precious, and absolutely unique boys who were created by our wonderful
God! Today I am praying for the rest of your trip to be awesome and for
a safe trip home. Big Ben, my daughter Kate and I pray out loud for your
healing during her bedtime prayers. You are in my thoughts and prayers
all day, Bowen family. With love, Jennifer White

Hey
Bowens....
I'm so glad you all are having a wonderful time. It absolutely shines in
the boys faces. My prayer for you remains the same in that the rest of
this Disney adventure is as joyful and funfilled as the very first day.
Have a safe trip home and enjoy your time with Tammy and David.
Sweet Eli releasing the pink balloon to Hanna was more precious than
words can say. May God continue to hold you all ever so close in the
cradle of his loving arms.
Talk to you soon.
All our love
Trina

I meet a
friend of Ben's at Disney World last week on the bus from the Animal
Kingdom Lodge. I am praying for a miracle for Ben and praying for peace
for the family. I have volunteered with children with cancer in the past
and they are such a special and amazing group of children as I know your
son is. God bless you and surround you with love. Hugs, Shari
