Mommy won't miss another summer on the playground.

She won't stand clear of the other kids.

She won't live in fear of runny noses.

Mommy's immune systems will fight back.

After the leukemia is gone.

And Mommy will laugh and smile and hug and kiss.

And hold Little Pete and Jenny so tight, she'll never let them go.

See you by the swings,

Mommy

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. My Mother is going through the same procedure next month.

Good Luck to you and your family. My husband is celebrating his 5 year BMT birthday for (AML) this month! I am so proud of both of you. We know what you are going through but there is so much living to do. We had a child last year and each day of life is a blessing to us. Stay strong.
