Tom and
Jennifer - I don't know what to say. Ben is definitely a HERO to all of
us who have met him through your words. What more is Eli is a HERO too!
Tomorrow is the feast of the Immaculate Conception. My friend sent me an
article which said that if you spend the hour from noon to 1pm in prayer
asking the Holy Mother for help, she will respond. Miracles have been
known to happen. I know Ben and your family will be in my prayers. Keep
Believing! God Bless you all.

Your are
so right. Ben is a hero. Many many people have been touched by Ben's
story. A lot of those people have made great changes in their lives. You
and Jennifer are very couragous people yourselves. You have stood strong
in your faith even at times that seem almost imposible to do so. All of
you, Tom, Jennifer, Eli, and Ben, are true inspirations. God has greatly
blessed each one of you by putting you in a family together. I don't
know what God's plan is. I hope and I pray that it is for Ben to beat
this disease. I DO believe God will do what is right for Ben.

ist of
all let me apologize for not writing in mor often. i usually check the
updates from work, but they have asked us to limit our inernet usage.
i'm heart-broken by the new, yet still praying for a miracle for this
little boy i do not personally know. i kave 3 healthy children, 14, 6
and 2 1/2, and i spend no quality time with them. sure i run to
cheerleading, gymnastics and dance, but the most conversation we have is
to and from in the car. so you my big ben have taught me a valuable
lesson, i may have 75 years with my children, but how am i going to
spend that time???????thank you for that lesson precious boy. mom and
dad, you are blessed to have spent your time with quality. i hope i have
learned my lesson. thank you...karla

your precious boys. Sending our love and concern across the miles. Love,
Heather for the McIlraths

Dear
Bowen family, Hearts are breaking everywhere at your news. Ben and Eli
are two of the sweetest boys I have ever seen, and they sure hit the
jackpot when they picked their parents. I wish I had words that would
make this better or easier, but it boils down to just letting you know
there is one more person in the world who cares what happens to a little
boy named Ben and his family. Safe travels tomorrow and may you find
strength in each other for whatever journey lies ahead.

Dear
sweet family, I saw you on the news Tuesday nite and you have been so
heavily on my mind since then. Please know that you are in my prayers
constantly. Thank you for such a wonderful testimony of your faith in
our Lord. Your lives are a shining example. I pray that God will give
you the peace that passes all understanding that comes only from Him. I
will continue to log in and check on you daily. You have a precious
family. Bless you- Stacy

Our
hearts are breaking for you. We, too, continue to pray for Ben's
miracle, for strength and courage for Mom and Dad. Know that every
minute of every day, someone, somewhere, is praying for you with love
and hope. Ben is an example for all of us as are the rest of you. Hugs,
Ellen

It is
with a heavy heart that I write this message, and I can't begin to
imagine the pain and heartbreak that you must feel. You are in my
prayers! Remember, Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the
world! God has a plan, and God will send his mercy and wrap you in His
arms while accomplishing that plan. A favorite song of mine says: "Mercy
said no, I'm not gonna let you go, I'm not gonna let you slip away, you
don't have to be afraid....life and death stood face to face and
darkness tried to steal my heart away, thank you Jesus, mercy said no."
Bask in His mercy. Karen

Ben, as I
sit this morning and read your dad's words, I relize why you are a hero.
God not only gave you the courage to face this terrible diease, but he
also gave you the gift of two of the most wonderful parents a child
could have during this time. Mom and Dad always remember that you are
forever in Gods hands. He will see you through what ever the future
holds. Sending prayers from Indiana.

I am so
sorry to hear this latest news. Ben and your whole family is in my
prayers. I especially pray for Eli. It's a lot for a little guy to
understand. He has two wonderful parents to comfort him, and will also
offer you comfort and purpose. I will keep praying for a miracle for
Ben, miracles have already been delivered in many ways, so we will keep
the faith that we will have more. God bless and embrace you all.

Big Ben,
and the Bowen's: I am so sorry to read of your update today. I pray that
God gives your family the comfort to know that He has a plan that we are
all a part of. I pray that IF He decides Ben should be an angel in
Heaven, rather than here on earth, that you find joy and love in being
able to share your lives with such a miracle. Every day is such a gift -
Ben is so lucky to have loving and wonderful parents like yourselves.
Peace, Love, and Strength, Crystal
