With the Lords help and in his time good things will come to your family. My father-in-law had leukemia for 14-years and just finished getting a new treatment through iv for many hours each treatment. He said stay busy,walk.and drink lots of water this will help you to flush out the posion and not get as sick. He is at this time cancer free. May the Lord be with YOU ALL.

The meet obviously didn't go in Bowdoin's favor, but it meant a lot to all of us competing that you, your mom, and your grandmother were there to cheer us on. The t-shirt sales went really well and we just have a few more to sell at the men's meet tonight. We're happy that we could do a little to contribute to Two Trials. We'll continue to monitor your progress and we'll be there to cheer your mom on at the trials. In the mean time, take care and we hope your cough gets better! Love, The Bowdoin Polar Bears Maddie,

After we all took millions of big breaths, we settled into knowing that the next years would be challenging but we had a tough little girl on our hands if she was anything like her running mother and father. Twenty years later that little girl showed up as one of my research scholars at my university. Having her come back into my life was a joy that I cannot find words to explain. Maddie will be someone's joyful moment as well. Get rid of that cold and head to music class. I am a musician and understand why it is her favorite class!
