Childhood Cancer Awareness Month – The Big Picture – Boston.com

There are a few things I never wish to say to my son. Asking him if he is going to be brave is one. That is what Diana’s dad is saying to her in this picture.

I have ranted once before on the the way you feel when you have a kid, how it changes. I know that even a few months after having Sam things were still easily pushed aside. But once you know them, and they begin to know you, seeing these things make you wince and twist a bit inside. Luckily I am in a hole of an office so people can’t witness me crying like a little bitch.

It got to me.

I hope I never have to go through what these parents are bravely struggling through. I would make some pretty evil, Faustian deals to avoid that fate for my child.  I wish everyone of them luck and hope.

Here are a few sites listed by those in the pictures:

The Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation (CNCF)

A New Year of Hope

People Against Childhood Cancer

God’s Perfect Plan for Myla

[The Big Picture is a great collection of stories as told by photo. The Boston Globe has done a tremendous job and it is a must read in my rss list.]
