Hey all!

One of my friends online, Angie, has a little nephew Eric. He's 4 years old and is currently battling Lymphoma. His parents have another child and one on the way and since his mother is pregnant, she can't be around some of the hospital equipment being used to treat Eric. This means that Eric's dad has to be there, so he can't be working. That means things are going to even rougher on these nice people than it already is. If you pray to a higher power of any kind, send your prayers for Eric. No child should ever have to go through something like this, especially one so young. Knowing his Aunt, he's got to be a tough kid and I truly believe he will get through this, but I also know it's going to take time.


Eric's MySpace page does also have an address if you are able to send a small donation to help the family be able to take care of some of their costs. Obviously not everyone will be able to, but it's good karma for those that can and will be appreciated greatly by all.


Thank you all for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for whatever help you are able to send along, be it morally, spiritually or financially. You will be making a difference to this great kid and his family.

Here's the link to his MySpace page: www.myspace.com/erictolbert2004

If you have MySpace, please add his page as a friend so you can send along messages of support. And thank you all again.

Prayers sent - thanks for mentioning this.

Well, his aunt is a real sweetheart and something like this is rough for any family when it happens to someone of any age. But with him being that young, it's doubly devastating. I like to try to help out when I can in whatever way I can and figured right now, this is the best way that I can help. To just try and help them know that they are not alone.

Thank you again to anyone who sends prayers, warm wishes and messages of support. It is greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to let you all know that the last I heard, the chemo was starting to affect the cancer and shrink it. He's still got a long road ahead, but he's going in the right direction at least. Thanks to all that have helped and any that help in the future, it is greatly appreciated by myself and Eric's family.

Just wanted to let you know that the most recent bulletin on MySpace from my friend was to let us all know that Eric has sadly passed yesterday afternoon. He was starting to seem like he would recover, then he took a turn for the worse. He had been brain dead for several days and the rest of him finally followed. Thank you again for all who lent their support to Eric and his family, it has been greatly appreciated. :(

I will be sure to say a prayer for this family.
This type of situation always reminds me how lucky I am that my children are all healthy right now.

Well, this week sucks. Now this afternoon I found out a friend that went to the hospital near the end of last week passed away. *sigh*
