I have
been following Bens story for quite some time. My sister, Maureen Skea,
thinks the world of his Dad because he was the volunteer fireman who
found Maureens friend in the rubble of the world trade center. Since
then, making people aware of Ben, his story and his illness has been her
mission. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed Disney. I contributed as much as
I could. I have 2 beautiful and healthy children and I can't even
imagine the struggle, pain and worry that Bens parents must feel. I pray
for all of you and thank you for sharing your little boy with all of us.
With much peace, Beth (Skea) Sarre

Through
these pages, I feel so close to your Big Ben, as I've been following his
story for the past several months. I'm thinking about you all so much
these days. Please be assured of my prayers for Ben's "spontaneous
remission."

The Bowen
family, I can not tell you how sad I am to read that Ben's health is not
getting better. I creid when I read this latest update. I am holding you
all in my heart and saying many prayers for Ben as I am hoping for the
"Spontaneous Remission" to occur. I am still believing this will happen.
Enjoy your time together as a family and love on Ben as much as you
possibly can. I am sending you so many prayers, so much love and tons
and tons of hugs. Ben is a very precious little boy and a wonderous gift
to all of us.

Family, I've followed your story for several months and it's been awhile
since I've signed your guestbook. I, like many others, have few words to
express during this difficult time. Just know we serve a God who is
capable of great things! Continuing to believe with you <>< Gina

Tom and
Jennifer, I can't even begin to understand what you're feeling at this
point. I pray that you will have the strength to endure what lies before
you, and that you'll be able to help Eli understand. He's giving Ben
such a gift right now. I hope Eli understands that his gift to Ben
doesn't come in a box, it doesn't have a pretty bow, nor does it have
cute wrapping paper. It's giving of himself as Ben's big brother. It's
something that nobody else in the whole world, not even the two of you,
can give Ben . . . only Eli can give it. Also, Eli can give this gift
with no pressure whatsoever on him. All he has to do is love Ben, play
with him, laugh with him, and remember him. I'm Becky Whittington's aunt
and she has been forwarding me your messages to me over these past few
months. I just wanted you to know that there are lots of people who are
praying for you and your family. Karen Yoak Lewis Winston-Salem, NC

You’ve
missed nothing. You’ve been right there for the best and worst of days.
For both Eli and Ben. Don’t doubt that. I wish you guys could be as
happy and at peace as you where when you were at Disney. Were all dreams
come true. You have to go with what is dealt today and tomorrow will be
another day with other issues. But he is happy smiling and playing
today. That makes it a GREAT day! This tumor is its own beast and does
what is wants. But it cannot take the smiles and love Ben gives. You
keep holding, touching and smelling him. It is just a reminder of how
much he is loved. You are loving on him for all of us who cannot. Heads
up Bowens, it another day and Ben is here. Still Believing, praying and
that makes anything possible. XOXO for Ben and Eli.

Ben has
been such an inspiration to me. I've checked on him each day and was
very sad to read about his tumor growing. I'm still praying that God
will touch Ben and heal him. God is still in the miracle business!!!
Jennifer & Tom, I can't imagine what you are feeling at this time, but
your faith has touched my heart in a special way. God bless you and your
family. You are very much in my prayers.

Hey
Beautiful Bowens - My heart is so heavy with your most recent news. I
don't know what to say but that my love, thoughts, and prayers are most
certainly with you. God has a way of giving children like Ben the peace
and wisdom most can only ever dream of. Your family is truly amazing. I
am blessed to have heard Ben's story. Liz (P.S. My mom said she saw you
at Stewart's at the mall. She said Ben is just beautiful!)

My heart
is heavy too after reading your update today. Your family has been a
part of my life on a daily basis throughout this journey. The first
thing I do each day when I log onto my computer is to check for an
update on Ben. I'm looking forward to Christmas in Huntington and seeing
Ben's billboard in person. Your family has touched me in the most
amazing way. You are a daily blessing to me in more ways than you'll
ever know. My prayer if for God's continual grace and touch on your
family. May you know His love in a way you've never known it before. My
ultimate prayer is that the updates on Ben stop because of spontaneous
remission and not for any other reason. You are a source of cheer for me
each day even when the news is not favorable. Love your little boys and
cherish your time. God bless you all. Angela

I have
only signed your guestbook once, but I check your webpage daily. I am at
a loss for words and it saddens me deeply to read the latest news,
however, we all know that God is watching and holding your family. I
pray every night every night, along with my 2 year old son, for a
miracle for Big Ben. What a beautiful boy he is and I know you are so
very proud of him. I pray for Ben throughout the day and hope you can
feel God's presence and grace. He is such an amazing God, this we all
know. I will earnestly pray for a miracle for your precious son.

I am
amazed and inspired by Ben's story. Your entire family and friends
display AMAZING faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You have
touched my heart, and you and Ben are in my prayers constantly during
this time. God's will IS being done in your and Ben's life - and
watching you accept that with such faith and grace is an inspiration to
all of us. Lots of love and prayers from Massachusetts!

Hi Tom
and Jennifer, I am sorry to hear the results of the MRI. We are all
praying for a miracle here in Maine. I hope Eli's doing fine and gets to
spend some quality time with his brother. Your son Ben is such an
inspiration to all the people he's touched and all the people that hes
come in contact with across this country. Know that the people in this
country are praying for your family during these holiday seasons, have
faith and don't give up. All of us here in Maine are praying for Big Ben
and I know my grand daughter Karley, Hannah and Aaron are his guardian
angels take care and from Maine we all love you. *Still believing. Mike
and family

Bowens:
As always, I check your site everyday. I signed your guestbook after the
devastating news the other day, and just wanted to let you know that I
come to work each morning and check up on Big Ben. I pray for your
entire family to be healed and comforted. You are all each other's
blessings. ~Crystal

I have
not posted before but have kept up with Ben through the website. The
latest news was so hard to read. You are in my prayers. I ask that God
continue to comfort you and bless you with the peace, grace and strength
needed to see you through your journey.

I would
like to offer my support, and my family's support to you through our
prayers. My husband is a fireman, my oldest son's name is Elijah (3),
and my youngest son's name is Benjamin(1). We have had some small health
issues with Ben, so when I read your updates and stories I am taken back
to the trouble we had with him. The expression of your faith and love of
God has made such an impact on the world- I thank you for sharing this
difficult time with us. God is good and you have the attitude we should
all hope for, knowing that God has plans and that He will guide us
through it all. God Bless you all.

(Trying
this again) Look at you, Big Boy! Famous and all! You even have your own
BILLBOARD! Such a good looking little man for the world to see. You have
touched more people than you may know. I have been following your story
of courage for a while now. You have touched me in ways that I can't
describe. Rhabdoid has that effect on me in general, but there are just
some of you little people that touch me deeper. I and my family are
praying for you Ben, and we are keeping your family in our prayers too.
Psalms 91:11 Hugs n love big guy!

Our
thoughts and prayers are with you all. We know God's grace is sufficient
and He is in control but we are still human and times like these are
beyond our understanding. We pray for God's peace and comfort to
constantly fill you as it has our family the last few months.Savor and
enjoy each moment.

I am a
mother, and I am ONLY human. My heart breaks for all of you, for what
you are having to endure. We mere humans are not supposed to understand
His ways, we are just supposed to believe. So that is what I am doing.
Believing. I believe God will give you peace and comfort and continue to
renew your faith every second of every day. He will Not leave you alone.
He loves Ben more than anyone on earth ever could.

Hi Bowen
family. I've been following your story for a while, and am sad today as
I've also been led to little Aaron's site. I am so heavy with heart for
both of your families. We also have a little girl at St. Jude who is
three and is fighting her own fight. I understand not getting to smell
and touch your baby enough. I have no good words for you, only shared
feelings, and I don't even think that is enough. I just wanted you to
know that you are connected in this big circle of life. We are out here,
but with you still. Peace, Jennifer
