I am here
first thing in the morning before I do anything checking on little Ben.I
pray for you little Ben and also for my nephew Noah Gallegos more than I
have ever prayed before.You and all the other children that have cancer
were born to touch lives and I believe that is why God brought you down
from heaven.Your Father is calling you home little one,may He give your
body rest and give you peace.I will thank Him everyday for you..for
allowing you to touch me to my very soul.I will always pray for your
beautiful family,people I have never met,but have touched me with their
words more than I could ever explain.May our Father give all of you
comfort and please know that you are not alone in this war our children
are fighting.Praying for you ALWAYS!!

Love
never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where
there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it
will pass away.... For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when
perfection comes, the imperfect disappears...Now we see but a poor
reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in
part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these
three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
God bless you Bowen family - thank you sharing God's love (your story)
which has touched millions.

Hay Ben
and family.I saw you on the news and wanted to get one of your bracelets
but when i got on the internet it said that you were mailing the
bracelets this week. So sorry i am late and couldn't help. Hope you get
better. You are really cute and you look like a sweet little boy. You
don't even look like there is something wrong with you. Let me know if
you are still selling the bracelets and i will buy one. Just email me. I
am only 13 and i am very interested in your story. Some of my friends
are too. We all go to Blackberry Elementary. I live about 3 hours away
from Hunington. If you know were Willamson is I just live 30 mintues
away fom there. Well i hope you and your family are having fun wherever
you are. Bye. ~Leanna~

I have
been truly touched by the strength of your family and the trials you
have been faced with. Please know that I pray for you every night. I
have lost close family members due to terminal illness and can
understand your pain and frustration but also your determination and
drive. The one concern I seemed to have even as a young child was that
when my loved ones were gone that as time went they would be forgotten,
that has driven me to volunteer my time with the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation, it is a way for me to always honor them. Please know that no
matter what happens your wonderful Ben will not be forgotten, he and the
rest of your family will forever be in my mind, heart and prayers.
Remember: The He that is in me is greater then the he that is in the
world.

Recorded
in the New Testament passages of scripture are these words of our Lord
and Savior, "Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for
it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs." -Mark 10:14 How
wonderfully blessed you are as family to have this special time with
both your sons. Please know that you are in my prayers. I am a living
witness that the God we serve knows best... He is the best and through
this difficulty you will gain strength and are right now providing
strength and provide encouragement to thousands of other families. Ben
is precious... His spirit is special as you already know and he is
forever blessed and will be a blessing for all children. Sincerely,
Linda

Prayers... Your sister is Christ

I had
been following Ben's story regularly until November of '04, but had not
visited this site since then until yesterday. It was a terrible shock to
read the latest, and I will be with you (in my thoughts and hopes, as
well as through this site) from now on. I lost a close family member to
lung cancer, and although Ben's disease is different, I empathize with
you all more than I can express. I am so, so sorry your beautiful child
is going through this; no human being should have to, particularly a
person as young as Ben, who should have much time left in the world to
experience everything life offers. I wish there were some greater
comfort I could offer you, aside from "I have felt what you're going
through," but I guess it will have to do. I will think of you all and
Ben often in the days and weeks ahead of you. Bless you in these
difficult times.

My heart
breaks as I take time to once again listen to your song, "He's my Son."
All I can think of as I listen and shed many tears is the one time I got
to meet Sweet Ben and your family at our church. Since then, I've kept
you so close at heart. I imagine Ben smiling at everyone as his daddy
was telling the congregation about his story. It just breaks my heart to
think he's suffering and in pain and to think what your going through as
Mommy, Daddy and brother.........Please know that your loved and in
constant prayer of so many friends around the world.......With all my
love!
