I am
thinking of you all and praying for you daily. Your faith is a constant
inspiration to me. I am so thankful to all of you families that share
your stories with the world. Oh, how many lives you have
changed...including mine. I especially pray for peace and comfort for
all of you at ths time. I pray for understanding for all of you,
especially little Eli. He seems like such a strong little boy. Your
family has become dear to my heart and although I PRAY I never know your
pain, my heart aches for you daily. May God bless and continue to be
with you. In His Love, Tonya Adams

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli and Ben, I just wanted to let you know that you are all in
my thoughts and daily prayers. Ben, because of you my life has been so
much fuller. You have taught me so much. You are so smart for a little
guy. I love you so much. I am praying that you will find peace and have
no more pain. I am also praying that you, mommy, daddy and Eli have the
strength to get through all of these difficult days. Please know that
you are so loved by every one. Strangers or relatives. You are much
bigger than this. Sending you so much love, many prayers and tons of
hugs. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO Still Believing Barb

Everyday
I wake up with Isaiah and Ben on my mind and if it is possible for me to
do anything to truly help anyone. It is difficult, at times, feeling so
mortal. Their is always so much more we can always do to help everyone
around us daily, yet at times we find reasons not to do so. I will
continue to pray and to pray at the organized time of 7:30PM daily. I
believe in miracles and we still hear about them everyday. I have began
to question some medicines and their capabilities with some diseases. I
am trying to find more faith in myself and my ability to trust God and
where I feel he is leading me. I grow stronger each day. I pray Ben has
more precious moments with you as he did recently, waking up and
tickling you guys. Though we can only share a small portion of your
pain, I promise you we learn so much from your tribulations. I continue
to value every precious moment with my son. I hope to meet you guys
soon. I am in Charleston very often and one of my brothers live in
Huntington. I would love the opportunity to meet

Still
praying for you all, God puts you on my heart so many times each day,

we care. Sending love from my family to yours, Jennifer White

I have
been thinking of you guys since I woke up this morning. My heart breaks
for you but yet rejoices that soon, Ben will be pain free and will get
to meet Jesus. I hug my baby boys tighter because of you. Ben has made
me a better person, mother, wife, etc. One day, when I get to Heaven, I
will find Ben and tell him just what he means to me. Stay strong Bowen
family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the
Bowen family... I have been checking on big Ben since last April. I have
prayed for his recovery and prayed for you to have strength as his
parents. I greatly admire how you are "still believing" after all of
this and have shared his story with many of my friends. May God continue
to give you comfort and guidance each and every day. Big Ben will
continue to be in my daily thoughts and prayers. He has truly touched my
life from afar. God bless you during this most difficult time in a
parent's life. Debbie

How our
prayer life has changed over the past many months! How boldly we now
come to the throne of grace, how often Ben's name passes our lips - He
hears every prayer. He knows, He loves, each new day brings new mercies.
We love you all, T&N

Dear
Bowen Family, I have been following Ben's and Hanna's stories for some
time and the faith your families have is inspirational. I hope Ben is
given the miracle you've been praying for. My family has been down the
road your on now and I truly hate to see others having to bear the
burden of this disease. Just keep holding him & loving him. He's such a
beautiful little boy. Stay strong.

Ben and
Eli have been an inspiration to me on how to spend time with my 15 month
old son..both of your young men are brave little boys and so much
smarter than this 35 year old mom of one. I tried for 10 years to have a
child and I know how blessed I felt to finally to have given birth to a
beautiful boy, now, I feel doubly blessed he is a healthy one. I will
tell Christopher of Ben and Eli and their sweet smiles and brave hearts
and remember how your sweet sons and the two of you helped me to see the
beauty of every precious moment. On a personal note, Ben, as I wrote
before has touched my heart since the day I first heard about him at
River Cities..recently I had become angry over my year long prayers for
him and that it had not been answered how I wanted it answered. Through
reading your website, I was again touched and realized just who was in
control around here (Our Father in Heaven). I have let go of the anger
and have redirected my prayers for peace and comfort for Ben..."For God
does know the plans he has for us, they are

Know that
you and your family are covered in prayers. Thank you for sharing your
hearts to openly and honestly with everyone. God has used Ben and your

that we see his impact.
