Tom,
Jennifer, Eli and Especially Ben, I have been thinking about you just
about every minute today. I am so hoping that the past few days have
been good ones. I am so glad that Hannah's mom has come to visit you. I
pray that all is well at home and Ben is having a fun time playing with
any early presents. Ben, you are so extraordinary person. I am praying
to the Lord above to wrap his loving and hgealing arms around you and
your family. Please Lord, give this family the strength needed to get
through this very difficult journey. Please place your healing hands on
Ben and make him well, for you, for himself and for his family. I
believe that you can do this. I have rediscovered my Faith. I pray to
you the Father Almighty, Amen I am also sending you many prayers, tons
of hugs, so much love. Always Believing, Barb

Jennifer,
just wanted you to know you and your family are in our prayers. It was
so good to see you in Memphis. Ben and Eli as such sweet boys. I can see
that you and Tom have done a great job of loving them. I'm thankful God
allowed our paths to cross. I could not keep from caressing Ben's face
that day. I cannot not imagine the heartache it is for you to see him in
pain. God will give you the strength you need to handle each day.
Prayerfully, Jeannie (Ginger's mom)

We shall
be praying for you and your family, Ben. We attended River Cities back
in the early 1990's and have stayed in touch through Myra Hutchinson.
Please know that we are praying for God's miracle touch that we claim in
Jesus' name.

GOOD
EVENING BOWENS, JUST CHECKING IN ON BEN. NOT REAL SURE WHAT TO SAY OTHER
THAN I LOVE YOU AND YOU'RE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. I'M NOT SURE IF
YOU'VE EVER HEARD THE SON "DANCING WITH ANGELS" BY MONK AND NEASE?????
BUT EVERYTIME I HEAR IT IT MAKES ME THINK OF BEN. IT IS A GREAT SONG AND
I THINK TELLS THE STORY OF HIS ENTIRE LIFE, LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR
HIM. THE WAY I'VE FOUND TO JUSTIFY WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED IS TO KNOW THAT
BEN IS SO SPECIAL THAT GOD JUST MISSES HIM TO MUCH TO LEAVE HIM HERE.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE????? MAYBE THATS EASY FOR AN OUTSIDER TO SAY, BUT
YOU ALL ARE SPECIAL AND AN INSPIRATION TO ALL WHO READ THIS SITE.
ANYWAY, BEN IS SPECIAL AND GOD SENT HIM TO YOU TO FULFILL A PURPOSE,
SOMETHING SOME OF US WILL NEVER DO... MERRY CHRISTMAS BOWENS. ALWAYS
PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE. LOVE,,,KARLA

Wish
there was a more encouring report about Ben in the update today. I am
praying for you all. I hope God will continue to comfort you and shed
some light into not only the reason for the season, but also the reason
for all of this... Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Praying for the
best gift of all, a miracle. Love, The Tottys

Tom, Our
thoughts turn to you, Jen, Ben and Eli many times each day. What a joy
it is to know that Ben is in such fine hands. The savior also has his
arm around Ben. Ben is a guide for the whole flock. (I'll explain that
when we talk) I know you will get through this difficult time as you
keep your eyes on Christ. But it sure is scary! This path with Ben has
all the same anticipation, anxiety and moment by moment freshness of
Ground Zero. Seeing God move at times like this is precious and
breathtaking. Remember, when Ben's eyes are closed, He is being attended
by angels. Love you guys. Danny and Cathy

Our
prayers are with your remarkable family. Yo, through your website, have
taught me to be a better person and to cherish the time I have with my
children. I rarely "sweat the small stuff" anymore. May you always feel
God holding you in his arms. Ben is loved by so many as is precious Eli.
You are so dear.

Through
the pain of watching Ben worsen. You have also been granted more time.
They didn’t think Ben would be here this long and do as well as he has.
Once again showing up he is bigger then his illness. My heart breaks for
you guys. I can only imagine your pain. Your journey with Ben’s illness
has too impacted the way I see each day and treasure more of the times I
often took for granted. You guys have the best gift of all. Nothing
Santa could bring. Family time. Enjoy your time and this beautiful time
of the year. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Also praying for Rachel
and her family. Merry Christmas from the Whittingtons.

I am
deeply saddened by your story. I cannot even begin to imagine what your
family is going through. Reading Ben's story has really made a
difference in my life. My husband is also a volunteer firefighther and
we have seen many people go through rough times, but nothing as terrible
as this. I just recently lost my grandmother to cancer and I know that
it is a tough battle to go through and it seems like Ben has done a
wonderful job trying to fight it. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ben
and his family throughout this Christmas season and always. We would
love to send Ben a get well card! Love and Prayers, Walt and Kristina
Williams

Oh, Ben.
I hope you know how much everyone loves you and is praying for your
complete healing here on earth. I WANT GOD TO PERFORM A CHRISTMAS
MIRACLE! I check on you daily and when I read you are getting worse, it
makes me start crying. God...I want you to be healed. The other day, a
friend of mine had a questionairre on her journal and asked if you could
give anybody any one thing for Christmas, what would it be? I had to
reply that I would do anything to give your mommy and daddy more time
with you. LOTS more time with you. I truly believe my prayers will do
this along with everyone else's. Bless you, sweet baby, and your family.
Merry Christmas. And I am praying for your cousin, Rachel, as well.

Dear Ben,
You are an amazing little boy. I have a little boy about the same age as
you, and I cannot imagine him going through all the things you have gone
through. You have an amazing spirit and your courage is truly that of a
hero. Your parents and those of us following your life are so very proud
of the battle you have been fighting. I am so sorry to hear that you
aren't feeling well. My prayers go out to you and your mommy and daddy
as they determine the best way to care for you. I am praying for a
miracle sweet Ben. God bless you sweet boy and always know that there
are many many people that think and pray for you daily.
