Our
hearts ache for you, yet we know that God is working through Ben. Cancer
has recently hit our family and following Ben's fight over the last
several months has given the courage to face this and also to keep
things in proper perspective. God Bless Your Family and Thank You Ben
for the great example you have shown all of us!

The news
is so hard to take. My heart is so heavy as I set here this morning and
picture the smiles of joy always on Ben's face. He is such a hero to
many. Tom and Jen, Ben and Eli are blessed to have parents like you.
You've done everything in your power and everybody sees that. Your love,
courage, and faith have touched thousands of people. I just pray God
will wrap his arm's around you and comfort you as you make decisions and
face the days ahead. Still believing in God's miracles and sending LOTS
of LOVE your way!

Dear Ben,
Eli, Jennifer and Tom, As always, my prayers are with your family. Every
morning I check your website and pray for you throughout the day
whenever something reminds me of your family. I think Ben is a very
important person and he and your whole family have touched my heart and
my life. I’m honored and grateful that I “know” Ben and the Bowen
family. I will pray today as always, but especially during the noon hour
today, the day celebrating the immaculate conception, as mentioned in an
earlier entry. I’m so saddened and heartbroken by the latest news but
still believe in my heart that God will heal Ben completely. Ben is in
good hands with God, Eli and his parents so close by to love him. May
God Bless your sons, Ben and Eli.

Dear Tom
and Jennifer: The Board and the Staff of Sarasota YFC keep upholding you
in our prayers. Danny Sartin has been great about keeping us informed
about Ben, so that we know to pray. Tom has been such a blessing to us
here in Sarasota and taught us a lot about prayer. We think of you often
and pray for Ben's continued recovery. May God continue to bless you and
make you a blessing as you are even if this crisis. This is a great
website.

I have
been praying for your family ever since our Little Ben Reed was
diagnosed.I never knew how many familys were affected by this and how
many children battle this daily until they found it in little Ben. I
follow so many of St. Judes children on a daily basis and I'm inspired
by your strength and I pray for you all daily.

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli and Ben, I have just read your lst update and sat and
cried. I am so sorry that the news was not good or as we were hoping. I
am still praying for a miracle to be done. I too believe and will do so
for a very long time. Ben is my hero. He has endured so much and always
has a smile on his precious little face. He is so courageous and
downright amazing. I hold Benn in a special place in my heart. I can
only imagine the pain that both of you are feeling. I am praying for you
to find the strength that is needed in the upcoming days full of
decisions. I will be praying for you all, expecially Ben. He is an
extraoridinary little boy. You all are so blessed to have each other to
love. We Love You Ben.XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I, too,
am devastated by the recent news. But, I remain faithful. No matter
what, I am a better person for having "known" Ben through your site. You
and your family are with me always. Be prepared for a miracle.

Ben, I am
a Friend Of Allie :) I live in Memphis, and much to my delight, as I
watched the news on Monday evening, I saw your precious face! This is a
wonderful website, but I can honestly say that it does not do you
justice. Just by seeing you on TV, I am fully aware of what a wonderful
little boy you are. Your smile charmed me more than anything ever has.
I'm very sorry that your scan did not come out as they wanted it to.
Those of us praying for you will not stop. In fact, we will pray more. I
too, and from Huntington, WV. My Mom lives in Hamlin. You aren't close
to me (unless you're at St. Jude) but you're never far from my heart and
prayers. Tabitha

i still
believe that God is not done with Ben! I have been praying every day and
have my church praying for him. I know i wont give up believing that God
is the ultimate healer. I also want you to know that I Believe God has
used Ben to help me see the reason and the purpose he has for us. As a
christian i was having trouble believing and trusting in him, until i
met Ben. Now i know that he loves each one of us no matter what. STILL
BELIEVING THAT GOD HAS A HIGHER JOB FOR BEN YET

Dear
Bowen Family - I have been following Big Ben's story now for many
months, but have never signed the guestbook. Your activism throughout
this journey has been beyond inspiring - your love, faith, hope, and the
ability to find joy and gratitude are reminders for us all. You as a
family are truly heroes. I know the days ahead will get harder and
scarier - along with others who have been touched by your story, I can
only offer my prayers of support, and I offer them to you fervently! One
of my favorites is the "Prayer of Protection": "The light of God
surrounds us; The love of God enfolds us; The power of God protects us;
The presence of God watches over us. Wherever we are, God is! And all is
well." Thank you for sharing your family and your incredible story with
us! Love, Kristin Jennings

Hi Bowen
Family. I have written before and have been following along for months
now and am devastated to hear the latest news. BUT, it's times like
these that miracles are made for and I will be praying for your miracle.
Love and strength to all.

We will
be praying for all of your requests. So so sorry for the rapid growth in
Ben's tumor after he endured so much. He is so very sweet & tough. You
guys being at the marathon cheering really helped me to NOT STOP
running....love that smile Eli! Hope you can enjoy this Christmas with
two playful little boys & feel all of the love & prayers lifting you up.
