I Believe…

Happy Sunday Friends,

As I type this, the house is pretty silent… minus the slight snore I hear from Emma and Rex, the two dogs. It seems in the last three months our lives have been quite “noisy” on a lot of levels. From the chatter in my own brain to the constant medical conversations, it’s nice to have a little peace on a Sunday. I sure hope you too can find some today.

I’m writing this to you today, actually more directly, to one of my girlfriends, since the 144 character text just couldn’t do it justice.  We were texting back and forth about Jackson’s health and how he was doing. She asked me, “How do you get through this, everyday?”

I texted back, “I believe…”

“In what”, she responded.

At this point, Jackson came in and requested a bubble bath (he seems to love them these days), so back into mommy-mode I went. I told her I would write back, so here goes (just for all of you to read too):

  • I believe… in the power of our friends and family thinking and praying for us. Thank you. Everyone.
  • I believe… Jackson will be healed.
  • I believe… that Fight On is the only way right now.
  • I believe… my sons are the most incredible, kind, handsome little boys.
  • I believe … bald is beautiful on a 9 year old.
  • I believe… there’s a doctor/scientist out there, maybe still in school, that’s gonna find a cure. I know it.
  • I believe… in the healing powers of a bubble baths.
  • I believe… hearing my sons playing in the pool is better than any sound I could listen to.
  • I believe… children like Jackson and our new friend Jessie, are the strongest people in the world. They have much to teach us.
  • I believe … in the light of my family, lifting us up.
  • I believe … in the good doctors’ wisdom and talent who have my son’s life in their hands.
  • I believe … that there are good people all over this world.
  • I believe… you’re in this fight with us and that means everything.
  • I believe… in fun. No matter what. No matter how bad.
  • I believe… reaching out to those in need is the right thing to do.
  • I believe … in doing whatever it takes to bring  a smile to his face.
  • I believe … in miracles.
  • I believe …in the dreams of my kids.
  • I believe …prayers can be answered.
  • I believe… we will get a call one day and hear the words, “cancer free.”

So, I believe. That’s it. I believe.

Do you?

Fight On Friends!

Lisa- Mom

    Lisa, Mark, Jackson, and family – Loren Foxx just posted a link to Jackson’s website on Facebook and I decided to follow it.  I had no idea what or who I was going to be reading about, but no matter what, I can always get behind a Trojan cause.  As I was reading (and crying) I had no idea that I “knew” Jackson or at least know his parents.  When I finally put two and two together, I said “Oh my God” and put my hand over my mouth.  Not because knowing you makes the situation better or worse than any other family suffering with similar circumstances, but because I instantly saw the two of you in Jackson’s face.  And that gives me great hope for your son.  Although it’s been a long time since we’ve been around each other, what I do know about the two of you, Lisa and Mark, is that you are feisty, strong, and fiercely committed.  Jackson has that same fight in him, I just know it.  And I will be praying for him and your family every day until he beats this.

    Loyally,
    Stephanie (Bonnett) Weirick

    Lisa:
    I just made the connection through Bonnett and am speechless.  I am sending all the love in my heart to you and the entire family and especially big prayers for Jackson.  You have a way with words and your positive spirit is inspiring.   Keep believing, keep fighting and give each other a big hug.
    Loyally,
    Dana
