in my life and taught me so much. I want to thank you, and let you know

I just
wanted to stop in and let you know how sorry I am about Ben's latest

Dearest
Bowens, I was heart broke to read of the recent MRI results.However true
faith is unwaivering and our Lord has you all in the palm of his sweet
hand. He WILL take care of you during this difficult, confusing time. He
WILL give you peace and He WILL get you through. Your Ben is so precious
and in his short life he has touched so many. He has accomplished more
than most of us as adults can only wish to accomplish, for that you
should be so proud! He has a distinct purpose for being on this earth
for God makes no mistakes and you are all so blessed. I continue to
pray, and continue to believe in the miracles that God can perform.
Bless your family... may you have many, many more smiles and laughter
and may each second be more precious than the last. In my thoughts and
prayers always. Patricia Scott

Dear
Benjamin, I know at this moment in your life that you are not able to
read and understand what I'm writing to you. I know that your physical
and spiritual being is in suffering from your tumor. I want to help you
to understand that all things can be overcome. When I was 5, my doctor
put me on a lot of medicine that I never needed. For a long time, my
life was miserable; I didn't have any friends, everyone at school made
fun of me... it was awful. Eventhough I dealt with most of the things
that boys deal with, I didn't "grow" up the way that they did. I hardly
remember my childhood, because it was the definition of sadness and
rejection. I'm 18 now, and I'm happier than I have ever been in my
entire life. The strange thing is that my life changed almost instantly
because of One Curing Factor. I hope you will take the time to visit my
Home Page and read my testimony (sign my guestbook, if you will),
because it will tell you everthing I have gone through to get to where I
am today. With that said, I want you to k

...know
that anything can be overcome in life. I don't think it would be too far
amiss to say that several people who are 20+ years older than me look to
me as a role model. My life has surely turned around. My parents and my
friends' parents say that I have the maturity/mind-set of a well-lived
man. I pray that you will remember everything I've said, and I hope you
will sign my guestbook. I wish for you to know exactly how I have come
to be who I am ( that is all on my website). I am praying for your
deliverance, Benjamin. Although I don't know you personally, I feel
that, just by seeing your picture, I can extend my hand in service to
you. If you ever need any help with anything, let me know. In Christ,
Joel Chandler 3817 Brandon Rd. Huntington, WV 25704 I'm a junior at St.
Joseph Central High School (in case you wish to know where I am most of
the time).

The world
watches & prays as you day by day endure & stand in faith believing, as
Ben smiles his way thru despite the incredible challenges. This is no
different than when He walked on water or turned water to wine. Ben's
continued smile is a miracle in itself & you get to see it everyday. We
believe that's God's way of assuring you that he has a plan for you &
that your steps are ordered. It’s beyond words or imagination the number
of people the Bowens have touched, inspired, encouraged. Surely the
significance & power of prayer has been resurrected in some. We remember
above all that you are still human, still parents of a beautiful gift
from God, & still hurting. What we can see from afar is God’s hand of
mercy & his grace as he covers you to enable you to not only speak about
the unspeakable, but stand strong in his power & love despite all that
you face. So while Ben is incredibly inspiring, the rest of the Bowens
have been awesome powerful representatives of God. Even Eli’s voice has
sweetly humbled us all. Love T&N

I am so
saddened to hear Ben's news. It's so hard to even hear a little one is
going through this, it must be impossible to see it. I am praying for
Bens' comfort and a miracle for him. They do happen. Bless your whole
beautiful family.

sweet little smile shows that you are a very strong little boy with a
great big heart. Our mommy told us about you, and you are in both of our
hearts. We hope your mommy and daddy will give you a great big hug from

Please
know that even though I only signed in once before (before your Disney
trip), I continue to keep Ben on my prayer list and have been checking
back on him since then. I am so glad you had that special time with your
boys at Disney. I am so sorry Ben's latest MRI is not the news we had
hoped it to be. You are very faithful parents and that shows even in the
midst of your heartache. Please know that this stranger in CT will
continue to pray for your wisdom and strength as well as Ben's miracle.
Keep smiling, Ben! You are truly loved!!! Cyber hugs from Lisa Post

Dear Ben
and family, My name is Gary Brunty and I grew up with Janet Arden and
graduated from high school with David Bowen Sr. and worked with him at
the Nickle Plant. I just wanted to write a little note and tell you all
how much I have been following little Ben's story. I want you to know my
family and I are praying for you all. Also, praying for a miracle from
God, that Ben may be completely healed, and we all know that miracles
still do happen, so we'll just keep these thoughts and Ben in ours
prayers. In His Love, the Gary Brunty Family
