Dear
Bowen Family...My heart goes out to you. I have been reading Ben's story
all morning. What an inspiration you are! Saying you have faith and
displaying that faith are two different things. When faith comes to the
outside and is shown by action and speech you become a light for Jesus
so that others may see Him in you. You can definitely see Christ through
your family. As a mother I pray that God will continue to surround you
and give you the strength needed at this time. I can only imagine your
pain but please know that I do and pray that you are able to find peace
and comfort through God, family, and friends who are willing and waiting
to offer support. God understands our pain and is as close as the
whisper of his name. Seek Him for all your needs and please know that
one more family is praying for ALL of you. Blair, Jennifer, Cameron and
Kaylen Asbury

Hello,
Bowen family. I have been checkiing your site daily...praying daily for
you and your beautiful boys. My heart goes out to you. I am praying that
the medicine gets balanced and Ben is in no pain, that he may rest
peacefully and that you get some rest, also. Even though I don't know
you personally, I wish I was close enough to lend physical help and not
just spiritual. Please know that you are in many prayers from people
here. I've shared your story with so many and have requested prayer on
your behalf. I'm a cancer survivor and know how wonderful it is to have
people pray for you. Please hug Ben and Eli for me. Stay strong. Until
tomorrow.....Judy

I just
read Ben's Story, and i was in tears. I am only 14, but I know what you
are going through. My sister was diagosed with cancer, but unfortunatlty
she didn't make it. I am VERY happy to here that Ben is still with you
today, and you get to see him. I know how hard it is to be told that
someone in your family may die soon, because of cancer. It was one of
the hardest things I saw my family go through. When I first saw Jessica
(my sister) lying in bed weak and all hooked up, I turned back around
and just cried into my grandma's arms. She was my big sister and was
supposed to be able to fight through anything, but when i saw her there,
I couldn't take it. My grandma and dad told me that I have to be strong,
and even though I want to cry I have to try to hold it in so I wouldn't
make her feel bad. So i kept it all in and went out to see her. When I
walked up and took her hand, she looked up at me, and said " I love you
Meghan I really do, love you." I couldn't hold back the tears. I started
crying and said " I know Jessi, an

Ben's
plight really touched me and others, I'm sure. I pray that the Lord
would have mercy on little Ben and completely heal him of all disease.
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Tom and
Jennifer, We have just finished reading the latest updates. I know that
you know that it is hard to read, as you know I know it is hard to
write. I want you to know that not a day goes by that I do not think
about you all. I wish there were only something we could do to help you.
If I could wish for anything I would wish for the same thing everyone
would wish for and that is for no one to ever have to go through what
you and many families like you are going through and have gone through.
Please know that Marc and I would love to help you in anyway we can.
Please, feel free to call on us at ANY time, day or night. I think about
Ben often and pray for him any time I can. I think about how hard it
must be for you and wish that there were something we could do. I often
wonder why this has to happen and I get mad. I know that there is a plan
and I will one day understand it, but for now, I will continue to ask
why? We want you to know that we look at your family and your love for
one another and it is model. I/we strive to be th

DEAR BEN
AND FAMILY, I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM PRAYING FOR A
MIRACLE FOR YOU. I WAS DIAGNOSED IN 04 WITH UTERINE CANCER, AND NOT MUCH
HOPE FOR SURVIVAL. WITH MANY PRAYERS FROM STRONG CHRISTIANS, GOD GAVE ME
A MIRACLE! MY LAST 2 CT SCANS HAVE COME BACK CLEAN, WITH NO CANCER TO BE
BE SEEN. SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE WHO PRAYED FOR ME ARE PRAYING FOR YOU.
CLAIM YOUR MIRACLE, DON'T JUST ASK FOR IT. GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS YOU IN
HIS HANDS JUST AS HE DOES ME. EXPECTING A MIRACLE, TRACY LOVINS

Dear
Tom&Jennifer,Not a minute goes by I'm speaking to God to help Ben so
he's not in tremendous pain.I'm the grandmother of Anthony Tuzzo,I
watched our baby suffer and fight till the bitter end.What strenghth
these babies have.While praying for Ben I can't help myself of reliveing
Anthony's intense pain.It breaks my heart to think why do children have
to go thru this???It's not fair,theres plenty of people out there that
can take the pain,not our children.Know my heart is with you and your
family.Me and my family still can't be what we once were before this
sadness came into our lives.Sending you and your family our sincerest
prayers and love Doreen.

Sweet
Ben. I just heard from Mel. Your the man! Your time here hasnt been for
nothing. You've done more in 2 years then many do in a life time. You
have showed people how to love, share, believe and have faith. To many
have never heard your voice. I see each day differently knowing you and
your family. Know one has ever loved you as much as your Mom, Dad and
Eli. Thank you for showing me so many things. But most importantly for
showing me how precious my boys are. You are SO much more then a little
boy with Cancer. Your a hero, warrior, son and brother. Know your loved
and are prayed for everyday. Rest peacefully Ben. I Love You.
