Ben is
constantly on my mind... and I am praying each day that the next day is
better for him. I hold my breath every time I check the update. I wish I
could take his pain as well as yours away. I would if I could but all I
can do is pray. Please know that you are surrounded by love and prayers.
Sincerely, Laura Fulks

I have
been waiting to see your next entry. I hope you have found some
delicious cookies for Ben. chewy & gewy just like kids like. I have
continued my prayers for Ben and your family. It is a testament to yuor
family and how much Ben loves all of you to fight so hard and continue
top fight the odds. Odds never matter when it is concerning your child.
I wish I could say something to ease your daily struggles. Just continue
to cherish everything you still have. The little things. Like putting
your face against his warm skin. I often take pride in giving Isaiah a
bath knowing I am cleansing him thoroughly. These are things many take
for granted. Every moment is a blessed moment. Stay strong! I hope to
see an entry soon.

Hello
Bowen family, I have been praying for each one of you countless times a
day. When I think about what you are going through I get tears in my
eyes because I know all too well how scared, confused, hurt and sad you
are. And then there are so many more emotions going on. I pray that you
feel the Lord's arms wrapped around you and that you know how many
people love each one of you.

Hi Ben,
The angels are all around you now... can you see them? Just beyond the
bright light is Jesus... soon baby he will come to take you home... you
don't need to worry and be sad Ben... the angels and Jesus will take
care of your mommy, daddy and Eli. You have shown all of us Ben a little
bit of heaven each day... in your smile Ben. We have seen the very eyes
of Jesus through your eyes. Jesus is filling your little heart with his
love and compassion. When it is time, you will know baby.... just follow
the light and take Jesus' hand. I love you Ben... I will see you in the
Kingdom Sugar. May God hold you close. Hugs, Ruth

God, I
wish that Ben wasn't hurting and in pain. He doesn't deserve to be in
pain! I hope and pray that the medication will bring him much needed
relief. Please, I want to let you know that if there is anything at all
I can do for you all, please call me. I will email you my phone number.
If you need someone to sit with Eli, cook, clean, run an errand, deliver
groceries, just whatever I would be more than happy to do it.
Just let me know, please. We love you and pray that Ben is healed of
this terrible pain and disease.

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli, and Big Ben, Just wanted you to know you are always in
our thoughts and prayers. God's grace is sufficient but the battle is
still hard. You are all such an example of totally trusting and
believing in what God can do and what He is doing and realizing that
God's will is not always what we would choose but we know He has a plan
and it is perfect.

You’re
doing what only you can give to Ben and Eli. Love there is nothing like
Mommy and Daddy love. So glad to hear Tammy has once again come to the
rescue. Chocolate cookies put a smile on all kids of many faces of all
ages including my own. The bands are a GREAT idea. I will be a proud
supporter a long with so many others of Ben’s fan club and the fight for
Cancer. I continue to pray and pray. My heart breaks to hear of Ben’s
pain. No child should hurt like that. Sounds like Hospice are helping
you as much as they can. I pray for them as well. They are extraordinary
people. A job that just anyone can do. Hang in there Bowens. You’re
loved and prayed for daily. Lots of love. Hugs and Kisses to Eli and
Ben...

Your
words are so direct and profound. Your faith, strength and love are
evident at this difficult time. I pray that the pain continues to be
less for Ben, that the you and Ben's caretakers are able to find some
joy and comfort in these times with Ben, that Eli keeps a smile in his
heart to allow him to keep his faith growing, and I pray for Ben because
I Believe too!

Keeping
you in my prayers! Ben motivates me to be a better person. I can't tell
you how many days and nights that I think about him and your family.
Looking forward to purchasing my Big Ben and St. Jude bracelets. I will
wear them proudly!!! Dottie

We
continue praying for strength and wisdom for all the Bowens. We love
you!!! We are at a loss for words, but God knows our hearts and He is
the one who sustains us. Thanks again for your willingness to share your
family's heart with all the world. God is using Ben's story all over the
world. I check the site several times a day and read the guestbook
entries. It is amazing and awesome to see God at work in all of your
lives. We, along with thousands of others can't wait to help support St
Judes and HONOR Big Ben. The arm bands will be a ministry that will keep
Ben's story and St Judes forever in the thoughts and prayers of
thousands of people. What a ministry !!!!!!!! God is sooooo
good.........Praying for God's peace to flood your souls.....Love all of
you very much Ken and Dana

No matter
what we are doing, we are praying without ceasing for you four---and for
Tammy also. God's grace amazes us each time we read an update that
demonstrates His working to strengthen you to continue caring and loving
the boys. For Tammy this must be excruciating to relive this time with
Hanna, and yet she selflessly comes to give to you out of that
experience. We love you guys and continue to walk with you. Thank you so
much for the updates; they are so precious to all who read them.
