This past weekend, the Aimee Dickey Childhood Cancer Walk/Fun Day was held in Scranton, Pennsylvania. All of the DIPG families on the Yahoo group went. I’m sad to say I couldn’t make it. I really wish that I’d been there because it’s a great sign of support that so many people went to Nay Aug Park to help raise money and find a cure for DIPG.

We’re in the middle of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, when people across the country are reminded that young children are dying every day from cancer.

Today is a very emotional day for me because today is Cristian’s birthday. If he were here, we’d be blowing out eight candles on his cake together and I would watch him open the newest Thomas the Tank Engine DVD I bought him to celebrate.

Today is Valeria’s birthday. I’m keeping her parents in my thoughts and prayers as they go through the difficult task of marking a child’s birthday after they’re gone. Sadly, they are not alone.
