Annie et Mark chéris,
Les vacances se terminent pour tout le monde en France. J'ai ramené Hélène et les filles à Toulon et suis revenue en TGV à Eppeville pour reprendre le travail dès lundi.
La première tranche des travaux de l'Hermitage a été finie le 23 juillet comme prévu. La piscine a fait de bonheur des grands et des petits malgré le temps pas toujours très doux... heureusement, nous avons une pompe à chaleur qui a maintenu l'eau à 25 ° tout l'été. Nous commençons la deuxième tranche des travaux en janvier (escalier qui part au grenier + deux chambres et deux salles de bains). Nous avons besoin de davantage de chambres !!!! Nous avons beaucoup parlé de vous cet été. Vous êtes en bonne place dans notre petit coin prière, c'est difficile de vous oublier... Votre silence ne nous pèse pas du tout. Nous comprenons très bien et sommes toujours aussi proche de votre coeur à tous les deux. Nous prions Timothy pour qu'il vous aide à trouver la force dont vous avez besoin pour aller de l'avant. N'oubliez pas que l'Hermitage est à vous quand vous le voulez. Nous vous embrassons tous très tendrement.

Annie et Mark,
Nous pensons et prions pour vous de tout notre coeur. Vincent et Maëlys ont vendu leur appartement et déménagent à Fernet Voltaire, à deux pas de la Suisse, vers le 15 février. Hélène et Pierre vont bien. Pierre commence son traitement de rayons demain et Hélène doit rester tranquile... Nous les confions à Timothy qui accompagne toutes notre vie maintenant qu'il a rejoint le Seigneur.
Nous avons tout cassé à l'Hermitage, enfin... au rez de chaussée seulement. La cuisine est vide et la Salle de bains aussi. Nous avons rouvert la fenêtre qui était murée et attendons qu'on nous pose une nouvelle fenêtre. Nous avons décidé de créer un cyber café qui sera notre bureau et celui de ceux qui viennent nous voir avec autant d'ordinateurs que nous pourrons en mettre.... c'est tout petit, mais ce sera très confortable et agréable (dans l'ancienne salle de bains)avec vue sur le parc et la piscine. Venez vite nous voir. Nous vous embrassons tendrement tous les deux, avec tout notre amour.

Dearest Annie and Mark,
Today I would love to thank you so much for your love and for your attention you gave to everyone during the days I was in Denver. Your family is such a gift for us, never forget we pray for you day by day and ask Timothy to protect you. These days are going to be so hard for you as they are always for people who lost a beloved child. We will pray Jesus and Timothy with everybody in front of the crêche, hoping that they will help you to find peace. We miss you so much and love you !

Annie and Mark: I know that you were the foundation of the successful Georgetown/John Carroll in Paris! I know the "Anthonys" from Washington and Georgetown connections better than I know you, but I just learned of your loss and wanted you to know that your love and care were remarkable toward your gift of life, Timothy, and now must be directed to each other and your families to get through the loss of such a cherub. We do not understand God's ways, so acceptance, which will take time, is the only answer. I pray for acceptance for all of you and admire the establishment of a foundation as you are directing yourselves toward something very positive. Peace,during this festive season which will be so difficult for you! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Ann Coughlin

After so many heart-breaking talks and choking tears, I am so glad I went to Timothy's funeral yesterday. That was the grandest, most beautiful, yet also the nicest and simplest honor of someone's passing that I've ever been to. It was such a celebration of Timothy's life and what an amazing little 'being' he was. I know that Timmy is up in heaven beaming down on you two. He could not have asked for better parents. We love you!

Dear Annie and Mark,
We were so saddened to hear about Timothy's death.Unfortunately loosing a child now binds our families even closer. You were so fortunate to have the months with him, even as he struggled. I know how empty your arms must be and your feelings of loss for Timothy. But I know over time you will not only cherish his memories but find ways to fulfill your hearts and those around you. Nothing will ever replace Timothy, but I can see that you will be working to find a cure and know you will find a way to heal yourselves and lessen your grief. Please take time for your own selves to heal...
All of our thoughts and prayers-

Annie, Mark and Patsy and the Haley family, an incredibly strong family. I learned tonight of Timothy's transition and am in shock. I didn't consider his transition an option but I know he is now in the strong arms of his great grandfather. Will Timothy know him as Ora Ben as you all do? Whatever name he is called, Timothy is safe in his gentle hands and that of God. Mr. Haley, as I know him, will be busy with his flock as he holds Timothy, welcomes his son and also Smokey. It is an incredibly sad time for this family but again I urge you to remember, "The eternal Voice of perfect Love whispered, 'Peace, Be Still' and there was a great calm." So shall you have peace and calm, knowing that Timothy is in the greatest hands of all.

With greatest love, Annie and Mark, I urge you to grieve however long you need and in whatever manner is right for you and know you have the love of all of us to help you.

Ann & Mark,

This is an excerpt from a book that has really helped me in learning to grieve. love, Jennifer

...I contemplated loss and grief. The death of any familiar person -- the death, even, of a dog or cat -- whether loved or not leaves an emptiness. The great tree goes down and leaves an empty place against the sky. If the person is deeply loved and deeply familiar the void seems greater than all the world remaining. Under the surface of the visible world, there is an aching hollowness, an aching void -- and it cuts us off from the beloved. [He] is remote as the stars. But grief is a form of love -- the longing for the dear face, the warm hand. It is the remembered reality of the beloved that calls it forth. For an instant [he] is there, and the void denied. It is not the grief, involving that momentary reality, that cuts one off from the beloved but the void that is loss. In the end one can no longer summon forth that reality, and then one's tears dry up. But while it lasts, it is a sheild against the void; and by the time the grief wanes, the terrible emptiness of loss has given way to a new world that does not contain the shape of the beloved figure.

JESUS, IS HE WITH YOU?
Jesus is he with you?
I wonder every day
I sit and wonder why he's gone
And why he could not stay

Every part of me is empty
I feel I can't go on
But then I look to heaven
I hear this beautiful song

Mommy I am with him
He holds me in his arms
When ever I am with him
he keeps me safe and warm

He says you shouldn't worry
I am safe and loved right here
With the other baby angels
that passed within the years

We have a special place up here
He thought that you should know
Where the Blessed Mother takes
your place for now until you show

When I hear this precious little voice
From the heavens above
I know that all the angels
are showering him with love

For everyone that wants to hear
their babies voice so innocent and sweet
Just close your eyes and begin to pray
and embrace them in your sleep.

Timothy's life fills us with hope and it also fills us with determination to be better servents of God and examples of His love during our preciously short time here.

Anne and Mark, hold onto the strength and love that is God's gift to us all and that your little Timothy so bravely exemplified during his short time here. May you find peace in the knowledge that you both and Timothy have touched so many lives over that past few months by your living example of God's love.

Mark & Ann --

We miss the Little Man and his adorable smile already. Our hearts ache you for you and your families and we wish we could break your grief into a thousand little bits so that all of us who loved Timothy and followed his journey could carry a small piece of it for you. As we celebrated our early Thanksgiving among friends yesterday, we remembered Timothy with this poem and gave thanks for his life and your transformational example of what parenthood is.

Salute the last and everlasting day,
Joy at the uprising of this sun, and son,
Ye whose just tears, or tribulation
Have purely washed, or burnt your drossy clay;
Behold the highest, parting hence away,
Lightens the dark clouds, which he treads upon,
Nor doth he by ascending, show alone,
But first he, and he first enters the way.
O strong ram, which hast battered heaven for me,
Mild lamb, which with thy blood, hast marked the path;
Bright torch, which shin'st, that I the way may see,
Oh, with thine own blood quench thine own just wrath,
And if thy holy Spirit, my Muse did raise,

Dearest Ann and Mark and Families,

We are so inexpressibly sad at Timmy's passing, but trusting that he is at peace. We pray now for your peace and comfort in knowing that Timmy was blessed with the most loving parents that God could have given to him! No one has ever been more loved than he is, and we thank you for the enormous gifts of courage and steadfast, never-give-up love that you gave to Timmy -- and to all of us. We will never stop loving Timmy, because he has become a part of our hearts, and we will never stop thanking you for teaching us so much about courage and loving.

Our love to you,
Maureen and Jim Rovegno

Dear Annie and Mark,

Although it is always difficult to fine the right words for someone who has lost a child, it is doubly difficult in your case because of everything you two, and especially your Timothy, have given the rest of us. When I search for words to offer you about remaining steadfast in your faith, I realize that YOU have strengthened and renewed MY faith. When I search for words of comfort to offer you, I realize that it is the three of YOU who have comforted ME. I have prayed, along with people around the world, for a miracle, and I realize that God has used the three of you for a hundred miracles -- for all of us. Your faith in God is surpassed only by His faith in you.

I would offer this: Allow yourselves to grieve, and give yourselves time. Remember, weep, laugh, relish Timothy's memory. Above all, keep thanking God for choosing YOU to be the earthly parents of this remarkable young man and for giving you the short (but very full) time you had with him. He certainly left a lasting impression on all of us.

Thank you for caring enough to share your joy and pain with us.

Love and prayers to you both, and hello to Patsy,

As with many others, words cannot express the loss you are feeling at this moment in time. Scott, Makena and I have been following Timmy's journey - and have been amazed with your strength, your hope, your faith, and your love for one another. You have all provided an incredible example of what family is and how an obstacle such as this one can move mountains. Though we met Timmy only once, his smile will always be remembered. Know that you are in our prayers and and we love ALL of you so very much.

Much love -

Dearest Mark and Annie, I've searched for the right words to express our thoughts and emotions ever since we read your last journal entry yesterday afternoon. This morning, I realize that the words simply don't exist. The emotions are far too numerous and mixed. But Lynne and I want you to know how very much we love you, and how hard we continue to pray for you. We feel so privileged to have been with you through this web sight during this amazing battle. His sweet little smile will never leave my mind. Thank you for making that possible. We continue to look for the silver lining, and we rejoice knowing that Timothy is now in a place of eternal happiness, free of pain and suffering. We love you and look forward to seeing you in Denver very soon.

Thank you for the gift of Timothy, for the gift of you. Thank your for being strong even when it was most hard, for letting us know your little man, your little star. I am so proud to call you my cousin--and to have you as my standard for what a good parent is. I wish I could come and take your sadness, lift your grief--or even just give you a hug. You have my love, always.

Chers Mark et Annie
Timothy a rejoint le Seigneur et continue à prier pour nous tous, et nous lui demandons spécialement aujourd'hui de vous aider à vivre son départ. Jean-Gabriel, lui, n'a je pense pas bien compris, mais pendant la prière, il disait "Timothy, Thimothy,...", comme pour appeler son petit cousin. Nous nous joignons à cette prière pour lui demander de passer son Ciel à faire du bien sur la terre.
Nous vous embrassons de tout notre coeur,

Dear Mark and Anne and all your loving family,
We are so very, very sorry for the loss of your beloved son. You are AMAZING parents and did something so special that it has brought people from all over the world together in prayer to cover dear Timothy and you. Thank you for allowing us to humbly be a part of your fight and to recognise true devotion, spirit, faith and love - you have all changed the hearts and souls of so many.
When first my mother and then my father passed I was deeply comforted especially by two prayers which I have written out for you below. Know that you are in all of our hearts and that you are deeply loved, firstly by God and by all of us here on earth.

Prayer of Saint Augustine of Hippo:
Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give Your angels and saints charge over those who sleep. Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ. Rest Your weary ones. Bless Your dying ones. Soothe Your suffering ones. Pity Your afflicted ones. Shield Your joyous ones, and all for Your love's sake. Amen.

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi:
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Annie & Mark...words can not express how sorry I am to hear about your incredible loss. T brought such joy, hope and faith into so many hearts across the world. He fought oh so hard. He manifested both of your feistiness and determination. Now he rests. I can see him now, cradled gently, peacefully resting in the arms of Our Father. He will be deeply missed yet always will be with each of us. You both have been such examples of courage, strength, and untiring faith. I love you both. May you find peace in your hearts knowing he is at peace. Love, Meghan

Dear Mark and Annie,
I was so saddened to hear of Timothy's passing. Never have I been so uplifted with how the three of you fought the good fight - the best of doctors and a prayerful family and friends from around the world with you in spirit on a daily basis. Never have I seen so many people (related and unrelated), pull together to give so much moral and spiritual support for the ordeal which you have all endured.

Thanks to your enduring efforts in Timothy's time of need, Timothy will always be in ALL of our hearts.

In such a short life span, I can't believe what Timothy GAVE to all of us. Love and a rekindling of the human spirit in ALL who came to know Timothy and his ordeal - like I have seldom witnessed in my lifetime.

Thank you God, for Timothy - and for such wonderful parents who brought him into this world and shared themselves with all of us!

May God's peace and love descend upon you and give you the comfort you all so much deserve at this very difficult time.

Love, Uncle Benjie

I left the house early morning and the day was bleak and rainy; I sit by my window now and see sunshine pouring over bright blue skies. I am comforted that Timothy is clearing the air for all of us from above and letting us know he is ok, in peace at last. I wish I could give you a personal hug; please know we are with you in Spirit, always. I feel priviledged to have shared this journey with such amazing parents like yourselves and I do hope that with the passage of time, our lives will continue to cross. May you all find peace at this time, and may Timothy be your guiding light always. With love to you and your entire families,
Claudina & family <claubonetti@aol.com>

Mark and Ann:

Veronica and I are terribly saddened by last night's news. Little Timothy was an inspiration to us and we will never forget his strength and smile. He inspired everyone around him (even those who never met him) to move mountains.

Although I am still struggling to understand why God has put you through this strange test, I know that Timothy is now by God's side looking over us and smiling.

His picture is on our fridge at home and I look at it every morning as I go to work and take on another day, and in his own way he made me smile and sigh as he told me "John, don't sweat the small stuff."

We will miss him dearly, and some day we hope to make sense of all this. In the meantime, I think it is important to keep his spirit alive in all of us.

Love,

John and Veronica

Mark and Annie,
Oh my gosh...I am stunned. I am so incredibly sad to hear of Timothy passing away. Although I only had the opportunity to take care of him twice, I was so taken by the incredible love you gave your sweet little boy. You are amazing parents and there is no doubt in my mind that Timothy left this earth knowing that he was a very special little boy who was loved very much by his family. You are in my prayers and will remain in them. I'm so sorry...

Here are some verses that have helped me in the past...may God bless both of you and give you peace...

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy one of Israel, YOUR SAVIOR." Isaiah: 43:2-3

When I asked to Fr. Walsh to pray for Timothy he mentioned he's had success praying over the phone for people and offered to pray with you over the phone. If you're interested, please give me a phone number where he can reach you and some times that would work for a call and I'll set up a prayer call for you. Of course, we'll all pray for you at the same time. You can email me at "botaish@qwest.net" or call me at 303 759 2955. God bless, you are continually in our family's prayers.

How neat it is to hear Peggy came out to help you all - moral support and all. Only wish I could get away and come out there to help out too. Tell Patsy - house is in good shape and so are the dogs! Plants are watered too. Hope to clean the back yard and visit Tommy tomorrow as I think of you all. In the meantime, keep up the good fight all of you! I can only echo Jimmy's words - Leave fluid leave!! Disappear GvH disappear! May the Holy Spirit guide the wisdom of the doctors in their efforts to help Timothy through his present struggles with the fluid buildup he has. Love,

I want to tell you how proud I am of you and the courage that you continue to display day in and day out. We are all better for knowing you and we should all learn from your example of courage and strength. Clearly it is a product of wonderful parents.

My love to you and your parents.

Hi Annie, Mark & Timothy,
We are thinking of you lots and sending healthy vibes your way as you struggle to get stable again and out of the ICU! The mystery of it all -- where are those fluids coming from and going?? -- must be so frustrating (as much as it is inspiring on other days!). I'm praying for a little rest for each of you... Annie and Mark, I know that each cell in your body is fighting for strength too. You know you are in the 'fire', but that's how the silversmith works, right? :)

I am inspired by all of you, and just wish I could give you a big hug. Lots of love to you.

Found this on-line and thought it might help today:

The story is told of a father who had twin sons. One son was an optimist, the other a pessimist. On the twins' birthday, while the boys were at school, the father loaded the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure. That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly. "Why are you crying?" the father asked. "Because my friends will be jealous, and I'll have to read the instructions, and I'll constantly need batteries, and my toys will get broken," answered the pessimist. Passing the optimist's room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. "What are you so happy about?" asked the father. To which the optimist replied, "There's got to be a pony in here somewhere!"

Sometimes we may be tempted to think that a person who has hope is merely one who is born with a disposition toward optimism. But here's more to it than that. Hope is available to every single one of us.

To have hope simply means that you believe that there is a future, and that future is good. It's the awareness that no matter what happens, we're going to survive. The storm may rage, the problems seem insurmountable, the stress more than we can bear. But to have hope is to say, "It doesn't matter what happens to me, somehow I'm going to make it through." It's similar to what the Psalmist said, "I will not be afraid what man can do unto me." (Psalms 56:11, 118:6) The same idea is picked up by the writer to the Hebrews: "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'" (Hebrews 13:6,7)

But what struck me as I looked through the Scripture was the connection between "hope" and "strength". For example:

"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD." (Psalms 31:24) , and, "The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope ("refuge" - KJV) of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel." (Joel 3:16)-

I love the picture we have in Habakkuk 3:19 "The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights."

And the familiar, oft repeated promise in Isaiah 40:31, "They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

The Bible poses this probing question, "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." (Psalm 42:5,11)

Here are four answers to despair, four ways to realize hope:

I. Hold Fast

How many times have we heard someone say it this way, "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on."

Jesus said, "He that endures to the end shall be saved."

And remember the text we read a couple of weeks ago, "Be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Determination and hope go together; determination and "stick-to-it-iveness" go together. Some of you may remember the chorus we used to sing many years ago, "I am determined, I've made up my mind, I'll serve the Lord." Was it the Ford Motor Co. that made popular the saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!"?

To have hope means to hold fast during the difficult season. Hope says, "Ride it out. You've been through bad times before, and God has brought you through. There will be a tomorrow, and it will be good. After all, the Scripture says, 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.’" (Romans 8:18)

II. Obey
Psalms 37:39 tells us that "The salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble." We need to know what God is saying, and determine to obey Him whatever the cost. Remember what the disciples said when they were told they should no longer preach about Jesus? Even though they knew that it would mean persecution, and they may be called on to die as did Jesus, they said, "we will obey God."

How well I remember the closing moments of each of the high school assemblies where I was a student. These assemblies were generally held in the large auditorium which seated, at one time, half of the student body of 2,500 students. But no matter what the subject matter, every assembly ended with the Principal leading the students in a recitation of Psalms 19:14: "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."

So determine right now to always obey God. Refuge and rescue come to those who live in obedience to Him. Jesus is our great example in this. Paul in Philippians tells us that "He became obedient, even unto death." Let me ask you this question, "Was the end good for Jesus?" Oh yes, "God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name."

III. Pray
This is the most obvious of the four things we're talking about concerning hope - it is realized through prayer. When discouraged, pray; when depressed, pray; when downhearted, pray; when dismayed, pray.

Did you know that sometimes the Bible repeats itself? Compare the song that David writes for the occasion of the returning of the Ark to Jerusalem (I Chronicles 16:7-22) with Psalm 105 :1-15). It's identical. But right near the beginning of that Psalm are these words, "Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually."

And of course, that's what "wait on the Lord" in Isaiah 41 means. When Jesus instructed His disciples to go back into Jerusalem after His ascension, He said to them "Wait, until you be clothed with power." And they returned to the upper room and prayed for ten days. Then strength came.

IV. Enjoy
This may come as a surprise to some. Too often, anything deemed religious is anything but joyous. But consider the story of Nehemiah and the multitude of workers who were repairing the walls of the City of Jerusalem. After the job was completed, they had a feast. First they read from the Law. From daybreak until noon the people stood and listened, and as the listened to the reading of the Law, they began to weep. But Nehemiah stood up and said, "Don't mourn or weep. Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10) so the "people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them."

Listen to David: "The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one." (Psalm 28:7,8)

Because we have hope, we live, we laugh and we enjoy life.

So then, to H-O-P-E is to Hold fast, Obey, Pray and Enjoy.

Conclusion:
Jeremiah is often referred to as the "Weeping Prophet". In addition to the book that goes by his name, he also is credited with writing the book called "Lamentations." A "lament" is a song of sorrow. Right in the middle of this little collection of mournful poetry is one of the most beautiful expressions of hope we can find anywhere:

"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:18-23)

My thoughts and prayers are with you all as Timothy battles in the ICU. From your journal entries, I can tell that Timothy is a tough little guy with a lot of fight and two of the strongest, most loving parents ever.

I love Timothy's tee-shirt slogans. For a little comic relief, I've thought of a few more:

Tough Tim (on a white tank top a la Kid Rock style)
Tenacious T
and for the science dorks: Mitosis Rocks!

Be with his parents as they go through this "bump in the road." Lord, thank you for their faith and support, and that Zoom was able to be with them. Thank you for the caring doctors and nurses on the unit and thank you for all your mercies. Amen.

Annie, Mark and Timothy,
Du nouveau à Eppeville !
Alors que nous étions tranquillement entrain de déjeuner avec Dominique hier à midi, un flot d'embulances et de pompiers est passé devant la maison tous feux alumés. Dominique a été tenté d'appeler l'usine au tél, mais voyant qu'on ne l'appelait pas, il n'a pas bougé. Il est obligé de prendre un peu de recul et ne peut pas s'affoler dès qu'un pompier passe !!! c'était sans compter notre petite églantine, assez bavarde à cette heure... qui a du couvrir la sonnerie du téléphone. Vers 15 h, décidant d'aller acheter la tronçonneuse de ses rêves, avec Vincent, ils quittent la maison. La surprise a été grande pour lui ! Il avait plusieurs messages sur son portable (laissé dans la voiture) lui annonçant que l'atelier de désydratation des pulpes (à droite en face de la sucrerie) avait explosé ! Vincent n'est évidemment pas allé plus loin. Il est revenu à la maison pour nous annoncer ce qui venait de se passer. Nous avons revu Dominique vers 20 h puis il est reparti parce que des foyers de feu restaient encore à éteindre. Miracle, il y a seulement 3 blessés légers. La désy est à reconstruire, c'est de l'extérieur un spectacle de désolation, la sucrerie ne peut plus fonctionner qu'à moitié grâce aux pulpes qui sont envoyées dans toutes les sucreries environnantes. Nous avons vu les dégats sur FR3 hier au soir, Dominique est passé à la Radio ce matin et il y aura un nouveau reportage ce soir ! Dommage que vous n'ayiez pas FR3... ah ! ces américains.... Enfin, il fait face, je suis vraiment fière de lui. Il n'a pas eu beaucoup de temps pour penser à son petit Timothy chéri et à son papa à sa maman, mais j'y veille! Je vous embrasse pour nous deux très tendrement. Love, Love, Love.....

Hi Guys,
I saw the Kerrigans last night. Mary Jo said she keeps you, Timothy,with your picture on the prayer card with her all the time and you are in her rosary every day. You have a pretty amazing fan club, you know. I for one am proud to be part of it. Wish I could come see you right now and kiss all that fluid away. We continue on the prayers - big ones tonight. Cool hat, Annie. I think Mimi would approve. xoxox. Love you so much. Peggy and Chris by proxy from Camp St. Malo.

Well, Annie, you've got me back knitting and crocheting. I've inherited 2 generations of yarn, so let me know if you need any ;). There's a web site with free patterns (lion brand yarn) if you decide to venture past the hats (though I do like the picture of Timmy and Tommy in cat-in-the-hat hats that comes to mind with Danny's note!
We appreciate all the comments you and yours make and enjoy the feeling of connectedness throughout the country. Gotta switch to a picture of T -- Johnny's requesting it!
love and peace to you all!

Lots of prayers (away with the fluid! up and up with the platelets!) flowing from the May and Goldberg clans. Rarely does a day go by when Mom, Greg, or Vik aren't asking for updates and giving prodding reminders that they send their love...along with ours. We sure miss you guys and continue to be awed by your spirit, cheer, faith and love. Keep up the good work...especially you, Timothy! You are a champ!

Hi Annie,
This message is for you, but please give Timmy and Mark a hug and a kiss? for me as I only have a minute to post what I want to say. Two things.. First of all, I loved the hat that you knitted for Tommy. Secondly, your interesting choice of words for Timmy in yesterdays journal was priceless.. my "two-ton son". I know things could be better for Tim, but do you think he'd mind if I called him "two-ton Tim" for a while?
Love, Danny
ps.. by chance, do I qualify for a tassle on top of a knitted hat? If so, blue and orange are a couple of colors that I like ;o) bye bye, love ya, Danny

Kingwood, TX USA - Thursday, November 11, 2004 8:40 PM CST

Good evening! Just want to share a scripture from 1 Peter that is on my heart with Ann, Mark and Timmy. You all are in more prayers than you know.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."

Hi, Timmy. Zoom says that Tommy's hat looks a lot like the one your mommy knit for you. Tommy thinks he looks like the cat in the hat when he wears it. What do you think you look like? We hope you and your mommy and daddy get some rest today. We love you all very much.

Hi guys,
I think the whole conversion from pounds to kilos is too taxing on my brain so I'm out of the contest!
I've been keeping up with the journal entries and wanted to send some extra strength your way today. I can only imagine how tired you must be but I also know you'll get over this hurdle as well. I would love nothing more than to hop in my car right now and drive down to help out and give each of you a big hug! Stay strong and stay positive. Give the big/little guy kisses from all of us.

We'll be in the cheering section (so don't worry) thinking of you, Big T. Hi to all your nurses and a big hug to Sue and Dr. K. I know they're taking the very best care of you and your Mom and Dad. with love and prayers, Zoom

Hey guys,
Just getting caught up on your journals... Durhamitis is brilliantly accurate. But you my friends will one fine day leave this place with a one healthy Mr. T-Man in tow. It sounds as though your fighting hard against thrombocytopenia and a defeat is insight. You are in my thoughts daily and am chanting all of my OOOMMMMM's (yoga sound) in Timothy's honor.

My mom reports that all of St. Michael's parish in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts is praying up a storm for one Timothy Ritacco as well as for his amazing mom and dad. This woman ropes in everyone she knows to be a part of this prayer chain and it just keeps getting longer. So, good things coming at you from all parts of the country, including lots of strangers who are praying for more growing. I think some of them must have sent prayers to your tummy, Timothy, but we shall redirect them to your cells! Have a great and growth-ful week!

Hi Timmy!
I just started following your journal after the wirths wouldn't stop talking about how amazing and adorable and perfect you are. Couldn't help but take a peak at your pictures and i think it's safe to say you'll be able to use that charm to get out of more than a few swimming lessons in the lake in years to come. Mark, last time i saw you i was probably getting pegged in the face with dodgeballs from your 7B groupers, wes delancey and flash birkett. But i'm now officially on the grow cells grow bandwagon. timmy's a rockstar from what i've seen and read. keep it up, little man! your strength and hope inspire us all. I'm with you in spirit from cleveland, Ohio!!!

We did have snow for the Autumn Glory parade though! We think of you at least daily and pray all continues to go well.
Love and Prayers,
Cindy

Hi Timothy, Ann, Mark,
I'm in Bristol now! I miss you guys! I'm glad though that it sounds like you're doing okay overall (tounge-biting excepted). I haven't had a chance to check websites & email since I got here until today; but I should have pretty reasonable access now. Grow donor cells grow!

Timothy, this New England girl is writing to tell you that if the Red Sox can win the World Series then I know for sure that you can triumph over low platelet counts and seizure meds. This is the year of the underdog, little man! Hmmmm, now THAT would be a cute costume for you this Halloween: da da da da da daaaaaaaaaaaa ... UNDERDOG! Go get 'em, kiddo!

Chers tous les 3, vous nous manquez encore et encore. Il y a toujours pas mal d'humour américain qui m'échappe dans vos écrits... mais je ris souvent sans comprendre un traitre mot, simplement parceque j'ai tellement l'impression de vous voir et de vous entendre ! J'ai monté ici un groupe de prière des mères chaque semaine à la maison. Des mamans qui ne te connaissent pas prient pour toi en France, Timothy, et demandent de grandes grâces. Ta photo est toujours dans notre coin prière. Au plus près du coeur de Jésus.
Love to you all, Hélène

How refreshing to hear that Timothy is "having fun with us, again". And, yeah -- I'd love to see those Autum colors again myself. It just doesn't happen down here in Houston. Probably because of the weather -- it's too warm down here. Oh, well . . .

As you might suspect, we're pulling hard for terrific test results for Timothy, this week. Warmest regards, prayers and wishes once again from Texas. Grow cells, GROW!

Annie, Mark and Timothy,
Much time has passed since I spoke with you Annie. Am blessed to read the good reports and see the precious photos of your cell growing Timothy...what an answer to prayer. Abundant entries express prayerful support for the three of you. Just think of all those unable or don't know to get in touch with you via this site. An around the world army of warriors in this battle with you. My best friend and I pray for healing and God's Word, Psalm 91:11, for Timothy. What a priviledge for us. I heard a teaching that life is not about the process of getting to a place or the place it's self, rather it's dealing with the interruptions along the way. That is our path. I am humbled by your strength, hope, integrity and faith as you walk this journey. Your invaluable sense of humor a gift. I send my thoughts, prayers and love across the miles. Bless you, Marty

I'm so glad to hear that the seizures have subsided and that the Durham health care providers are able to help Timothy focus on the most important task -- growing cells.

I can't wait to hear more positive reports as we head into November. Mark and Anno -- you guys are amazing! Hang tough.

Now, guess what? It's a beautiful sunny day in Denver. So, we're going over to see if Jack can come out and play with our big puppy.

I hope that you are watching the baseball playoffs with your mom and dad. Speaking of your dad, the Yankees sure could have used him the other night....Oh boy.

I hope that the cells are hitting a big growth spurt this week. Please give my best to your folks, the doctors and that Doodlebug character. Have a great weekend Timmy. All of the Higgins are praying with you every day!

What a sign that God is really directing this and carrying you all (and us) through this trial! I'm reminded of the Sure (deodorant) commercial -- raise your hands if you're sure! I see a lot of comments from people who are sure! (sure proud of you, sure supportive, sure of God's hand in the process, etc.) We think of you often and are impressed by the attitude of gratitude.
love,

We check in daily and continue to keep you in our prayers. In fact, Rose, Jacob and I went to adoration tonight and I overheard Jacob (on his knees with his head bowed into his hands) asking God to "please make Timmy all better." With all the prayers everyone has been throwing up to heaven, I have no doubt that God, like the judge you referred to from Sunday's gospel, will just have to give in. God bless!!

Hi Timmy, Mark, and Annie. I was in Denver this past weekend, and Zoom took me over to see your home on Monday, which I really loved. The best part were all of the family pictures you have on the walls in the staircase. Reminds me a lot of Kim's home. Of course, I HAD to see Timothy's room. Everyone is so anxious to have you all home soon. And, Jack was asking about you, but I didn't know how to tell him how you all are doing. I thought ... "If I only had my laptop ..."

Anyway, this message is intended for Becky Smith and her son, Zach. I love the work you've done on the 1st Timmy Ritacco's Toy Fund/Bowling Partyfund raiser. Living in Texas, we have to settle for making a contribution and miss out on the fun, but I'd like to know if you'll be offering t-shirts for sale to us out-of-towners. If so, maybe you could post the selling price so we can put our order in. (You can give our shirts to Zoom.) A special thanks for your efforts accompanies greeting. You are a real blessing. Thank you, Becky, and thank you, Zach!!!

And, once again we send our prayers and love from Texas to Annie, Mark and Timmy! Grow cells, GROW!
Jim and Lynne Haley <jim.haley@pikespeakfloral.com>

Hi Ann, Mark & Timmy, We've got our 1st Timmy Ritacco's Toy Fund/Bowling Party for Cory Elementary Families and anyone else who can make it, set-up for Thursday, November 11th at Monaco Lanes from 11 to 1 pm. (Which is a school day-off) We are copying 366 flyers right now which will go out to all of the students tomorrow in their backpacks. Zach is going to be making a box tonight where the kids can turn in their RSVP's to bowl, plus their checks for the tickets...We got a great deal on 1 hour of bowling where we pay $6, that includes shoes, hot dog, drink and cookie. We're charging $15 for one ticket, $25 for 2, etc etc. We are also in the process of getting T-shirts ordered to sell at all of our events. The principal of Cory, Lynn Scates, just lost her husband of 30+ years to cancer over the summer and his name was Tim...She is really behind us on being able to use the school for future fundraising events etc...We got 1st Bank on Colorado Blvd. to waive their monthly checking account fees for us and Office Max to donate brightly colored paper to print the Bowling Party Invites on. Everyone here in Denver seems willing to pitch in...We'll keep you updated on our progress. If friends or family cannot attend our events here in Denver, but want to make a donation to Timmy's Toys, feel free to mail a check payable to "Timmy Ritacco Toy Fund" in care of Becky or Zach Smith - 1511 S. Columbine Street, Denver, CO. 80210. We'll be back in touch after the event. Hugs and blessings to all of you!

I cried when I read your entry just now. These, I believe are true signs that you are not alone in this battle. I have goose bumps. I hope yesterday brought more calm to your doubts and that Dr. K worked her usual magic. Hope to see you in clinic soon. How about a spa day for the moms whenever Timothy & Cati give us the time? I will take care of booking- just give me the date! Lots of love to you all- and much faith, peace, and persistence!

Your ability to see through the seizures, mucositis, etc and to hold tight of your glimpse of the other side is simply astounding. You three are amazingly resilient soldiers in your battle, and I have no doubt that you will be victorious.
By the way, you were not missing a thing at the fair! I went my first year in Durham and it was a scary, scary sight. Miss you and sending super-terrific hugs.

The picture of you with your Dad made me giggle aloud to myself, Timothy. It's so nice to see you in such happy moments. And, the "cashed out" picture is equally adorable. I cannot get over how photogenic you guys are -- all three of you! I'm still collecting these pictures and putting them in http://junglewood.pikespeakfloral.com/kma/timothy_photos for anyone to enjoy at their leisure.

More love and prayers from Texas, and Grow cells, GROW!

I can't believe the progress you have made...What a strong and brave little boy. Dawson has a lot to learn from you. We can't wait to see all of you again. Keep laughing! Love, Mel Coates and Dawson

You all totally rock. That's Annie and Mark language for I'm inspired, touched, humbled and full of love, laughter and tears in front of my computer. Timothy, for such a little guy you have turned our world upside down. How cool is this to see so much love coming from so much random family and friends from all over the globe sending these tremendous messages of love. I can't single out any one because it is the collective effect that amazes me the most. Keep clucking, MARK and laughing Timothy and Annie, and we will keep praying. St. Therese, thanks for the "heavenly flowers". Keep "spending your heaven doing good on earth" as you promised. It is working. Love from all 6 of us. And Grow cells grow.

Sometimes it is the smallest milestones that are celebrated the most. When Ashleigh regained her smile, I cried like a baby and sent out emails telling everyone. We still are trying to get it on film. I am so happy that you got to clebrate such a sweet gift. It is only a matter of time before our babies are laughing, talking, saying "mama" and running. For now we celebrate the gift of life that we have and those occational smiles!
God Bless...
With love and HOPE,

Saint Theresa is known as the Saint of the Little Ways, meaning she believed in doing the little things in life well and with great love. She is also the patron Saint of flower growers and florists.
She is represented by roses. May everyone be blessed who reads this.
May today there be peace within.
May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God... Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

This came to me in an email, and although I don't usually forward those, somehow this one seems so appropriate, down to St. Therese being the patron saint of flower growers and florist. We're thinking of you proud to call you family!
Love,
Kim, Ricardo, Richard, Jimmy, and Johnny

Cindy and Kim snapped a picture of Timothy as he slept at our Family Reunion last summer in Estes Park. When they learned of Timothy's health issues, they set about making a prayer quilt for Timothy and his parents using a copy of that picture. I know they presented the quilt to Annie and Mark after they arrived in Durham, and Zoom told me what a wonderful thing it was that they had done.

Well, I saw a picture of the quilt for the first time this week, and I see now how really beautiful it is. I'm not sure how they did the prayer quotes on each picture, but I think that Ricardo (Kim's husband) helped out in preparing each picture somehow. Thanks, Cindy, Kim & Ricardo!

I can't figure out how to past a thumbnail photo into this comment box, but so far, no luck. So, for those of you who would like to see some pictures of the quilt, you can browse to http://junglewood.pikespeakfloral.com/kma/timothy_photos. The pictures can be viewed in 3 sizes, the thumbnails on the index page, screen-sized images by clicking on the image, and the original size image by clicking on the caption below the image.

Annie, Mark, and Timothy; Hang in there and keep fighting -- like the Astros are doing this year. Looks like you just might see Clemens in the WS this year, after all, Annie. We certainly hope so! And we continue to send our love and prayers from Texas. And, Grow cells, GROW!

I love reading your journal entries. Every time I run into you guys I think of the day when we can watch our kids play- the Summer in Vail, or maybe watching them on a sled on a snowy Winter day. I wish we could hang out with them and spend afternoons here in Durham- mom to mom going through the trials and tribulations of this process. I am so happy to hear that things are progressing well. His smile is the most precious gift ever! Keep those chickens clucking Mark! With love to you all- and many prayers,

What did Annie, Mark, and Pat (Zoom) do to earn the friendship of such wonderful people like Becky Smith and her 10-year-old son, Zach? In a recent greeting, Becky talks of putting a fund raiser together in Denver to raise money for Annie and Mark to be able to buy some of the high-tech (read, quite expensive!) devices that the doctors are recommending upon his return to home in Denver.

One of Becky's ideas was to talk to some of the local bowling alleys about doing such a fund raiser. Sounds like not only a great idea, but a lot of fun! Well, we don't live in Denver, so we won't be able to participate. But, we are very happy to offer $50 in sponsorships for those who would participate but maybe can't aford it.

Thanks, Becky and Zach! Your support is awesome!

We send our prayers that Timothy "gets calmed down soon, that the diagnosis holds and that the treatment is effective, that he stays otherwise clear of infection, and that the cells keep growing!" Love to all of you, and say hi to Zoom!

I love the title of this phase and am looking forward to hearing of T's smiles soon! How lucky for him that he was able to sleep through his spinal tap. We're sending up many prayers of thanksgiving and for health and peace.

Hi, this is Judy Carlberg again - friend of Fred and Christine from San Diego. Like soooo many I just wanted to send extra love, support and prayers at this difficult time. I am on the board for Children's Hospital Auxiliary in San Diego and have shared your story with many of the doctors I come in contact with. They all say Duke is an incredible medical center with doctors that are both wise and gentle.
With God at your side you are at the best place possible. As I mentioned before we will be at Duke for parents weekend from Oct. 21-24 and would love to do anything for you or maybe just give an extra hug. I will be in touch.

Annie, Mark & Timothy,

Thank you for keeping us updated. Many prayers and much positive energy coming to you from New York. Caroline remembers Timothy nightly in her prayers, and thanks God for the blessings of her day. Being reminded of the power of prayer is Timothy's precious gift to our family. We believe, just as Timothy does. We love you, we are praying for you, and may you gather strength from the knowledge that we are all with you in spirit. Go Timmy go.

Love, Robin, Dennis, Caroline & Emma

Knowledge of something specific helps so much! We'll be praying hard tonight. Johnny's face lit up when I opened the site and he saw T's hands going. He smiled and said "T." I have to take it as a positive sign from my 10-month old! We'll light a candle (maybe even a fire in the fireplace!) for all three of you. May they be medication induced and reversible! His cells are certainly growing. Way to go, T! Annie and Mark, the love that surrounds your young family is almost palpable. Just check the number of "hits" this site has received when you need a reminder--a lot of us just check in to think about you even when we don't leave a message! Hugs and love!

Hi Annie, Mark and Timothy. I spoke with Zoom last night and learned about the seizure situation. Lynne and I then talked about it and finally fell asleep in prayer for all of you. Your words are so perfect, "... may the seizures be related to medications, may they be treatable, may they be reversible, may those working with us at the hospital be wise and gentle, may Timothy be strong and well, and of course, grow cells, GROW." And these words will be in our prayers as we go through the day. Thanks again for the journal entries! It's hard to understand where you find the energy to do them. You keep us informed in such a perfect way. Here's a Texas-sized hug from Texas ... HHHHHHUUUUUUUUUGGGGGG!!!

You guys are doing SUCH a GREAT JOB!!! Your journal entries are amazing and your spirits are so great, even with the lack of sleep you've all been experiencing. I had lunch with Zoom, oops, Pat, this past Friday and told her that our 10 year old, Zach, needs to participate in a community service throughout his 5th grade year. His classmates can work with him on it too, so he has said he wants to help fund-raise for Timmy's high tech toys and whatever else can help his recovery. I don't know quite what to tell the kids and their parents about Timmy's battle, other then it sounds incredibly rare and life threatening...(Hallelujiah for the team of doctors you've found and the successful battle you waged with Cigna to help cover the expense of the procedures!) I'll keep reading from the earlier days in your journal to try and put together a biography of this journey you've been on with Timmy, for the other families to read. I'll also get together with Pat on any other clarifications...One idea we have to help raise funds is to talk to one of the local bowling alleys and see if they'd give us reduced lane fees and shoes, then charge each bowler a $25 entrance fee to donate towards those toys. We think the Cory Elementary Community will definitely support our cause! (Plus we'll get the word out to all of your Denver family, friends, and co-workers, etc...)

If there is another web-site we could go to that gives us an introduction to his malady, let us know. Zach's email address is zach@colorado hifi.com if you have any ideas for fun kid fundraisers to get TIMMY WELL AND THRIVING!!! Sending tons of love and prayers,

I promise to do so once you are back in Denver (which we hope is very soon). Hope today is a SUPER SUNDAY for you all! Much love!

All day Friday and today, I have been pre-occupied with the 86% news. I know there is a long road yet ahead, but for me, this was a big one. News that the new cells mght not have been the donor cells was a little more unnerving than I thought. I'm so relieved and thankful -- almost giddy! My prayers have now shifted to appeals for help with Timothy's discomfort and his parents' exhaustion. Grow cells, GROW! And, Rest, Tim, Annie & Mark, REST!
More love and prayers from Texas!

You make it possible for us to be just beside you, except we can't do anything for you to help in little things, as we would love it. We pray for the turmoil fo chemotherapy will soon decrease and for the cells continue to grow and spread good enzymes ! They will continue to grow. God has an eye on it regularly and is working on. Bon courage day after another day. We love you so much.

I have to giggle, too, imagining you using all your highly relevant JD/MBA training to wrestle with 'home health' issues. I am sure you are doing a stellar job. Lots of love to you guys and healthy, strong wishes for Timothy. Hope all three of you get more sleep... SOON! :)

Hi Annie, Mark, and Timothy,
I can't get used to all the things you have to manage as you describe. Timothy, you have an amazing set of parents, probably the best ever, but don't tell my kids. You are one incredible little boy yourself. Here, we are enjoying lots of fall days with Colorado sun and the threat of snow this week end. The view of the snow covered range against the blue sky surprised me this morning as we returned from the orthodontist. Nice little gift. Glad to hear Hurricane Jeanne is past. Hope Timothy enjoys those cool fall southern strolls in the evening. That almost sounds restful. Could it be? Laugh some for me. Love and keep those cells growing. Love, Peggy

Sam is here and can help you with the fund you were talking about. I am glad to hear that Timothy is doing well. I pray for things to continue in the right direction. I can not wait to talk with you. It may be after I return from the trip. Here is my e-mail, feel free to e-mail or call anytime, I know how busy things are so whenever is fine. Things do slow down a bit in a year or so!!!!! We have just started to slow a little and Nolan is 18 months out!!!! We will pray that Timothy progress quickly and you are "home home" soon.

Hello Ann, Mark & T!

So glad to hear that you're adjusting to life outside of the hospital and dealing so well with all of the curve balls thrown your way. The first week was bound to be the toughest, so I'm confident it will get lots easier from here on out.

In scrolling through the journal entries I couldn't help but notice the vast underrepresentation of Seahawks fans among your friends and family. So, notwithstanding everyone's comparisons between T's progress and that of the Skins, Broncos, etc... I'm writing to wish you all as much success as the Seahawks will undoubtedly have this season. Timmy deserves the best! :)

Finally, I want to echo Zoom's advice not to let penguins drive the bus. I have no idea what that means, but if learned anything about Anno's mom the year that Ann & I lived together, it's that she has incredibly good judgment!!

That's it for now. Thanks so much for writing and keeping us all included in your world. I wish you much rest and positive cell counts in the near future.

With love, Julie

Hie again from France,
I just red benjie's message and I wanted him and Patsy and all your family to know that we pray for each one of you Tommy, Timothy, Annie, Mark and everyone who takes care of each other. You are just so fantastic, a real exemple for us. When we lived in Denver, in 1986 and 1987, We adopted your family. We have always realized our chance of beeing your friends, but today, we know how lucky we are ! Yes Annie, Mark and Timothy, you are our inspiration, but not only you but the Halley Family. Orban and your mother must be so proud of each of you. They must dance all around heaven ! We pray for you all and love you so very much.

Hi you three. I'm glad you all can still laugh as the mishaps happen. One of my favorite quotes from a parenting book is crisis+time=humor. It reminds us to laugh (even if it takes a bit of time to get to the point where we can!) at the daily situations. Timothy, no wonder you've been sore -- growing 3 inches as well as all those new cells!
Please know that we think of you every time we sit at the computer and check the site several times a day, even if we don't stick a note in the book. You three have been an inspiration to all of us and we love you! Johnny saw your picture yesterday and said "T" with a great big smile. He's definitely looking forward to playing with you!

Hi, Timothy! It's your grand uncle benjie here again! Just wanted you to know I'm still praying for you and your mom and dad. Also - I'm trying to take care of your grandma Pat, too! She likes me to be sure my computer is on for her to use so she can see who is talking to you guys here in the guestbook - and to see what your latest journal report contains.

Jack is doing great, always wanting to play. I try to accomodate him, but its never enough. He loves chasing after squirrels and the birds - and going over to the fence to smell out the Alaska malamute dog that lives over there.

I start my new job with Aurora Public Schools this morning -so I'm a bit nervous. It feels like the first day of school all over again. This won't stop me from keeping in daily contact with your progress via your website here, however. I must take my hat off to your mom and dad as they are doing such a marvelous job in taking care of you in your daily fight to grow new cells. You all are such an inspiration to me and to those non-family friends of mine to whom I have told your story.
Hope you enjoyed your visit with Danny and Jan Haley when they visited you this weekend. They both are very strong supporters of all you guys!
Hope you don't mind a little report here on your grand uncle Tommy, who has been fighting brain cancer the past two years - and is in our daily prayers, along with you and your family. He's been mentioned here before - along with you as you guys wage your unbelievable medical battles to recovery. Anyway... Tom continues his daily fight with his cancer via his cancer treatments (chemo, acupuncture, etc.) He had a tough week last week and is recovering from a fall he sustained during the night about 3 days ago where he broke a couple of bones in his left hand. He was trying to change his pajamas, as his wife Elsie explained it to me. Your grandmother Pat and grand aunt Peggy are pitching in to help watch Tom during the daytime - as I can no longer do this on Mondays and Wednesdays because of my new job.
I just can't believe how this family pulls together when life starts getting tough! It must be all the prayers and the wonderful example you guys are setting for the rest of us!
Your journal reports are obviously an inspiration to everyone who visits your website here - and that seems to be a lot of people!! Thank you for taking the time - and if I don't leave you a daily or weekly note here in the guestbook, know that I read it every day.
Much love... grand uncle benjie

Annie et Mark,
A la lecture de votre dernier long message. Nous avons pu constater que vos nuits ne sont pas de tout repos... En général, lorsque nous nous levons et que nous allons sur Internet, vous dormez encore ! et là ce n'était pas le cas ! Merci pour tous ces détails qui nous permettent de vous suivre pas à pas dans votre combat. Nous attendons avec impatience les résultats du prochain test qui vous permettra de voir si les cellules du petit enfant donneur prennent le pas sur celles de Timothy. Nous prions pour cela sans relâche et pour que le Seigneur vous donne la force de continuer jour après jour à lutter, avec Timothy. Nous vous embrassons tous les trois avec toute notre grande tendresse.

Timmy, Anne and Mark - This weekend there was a Eucharist Congress in Washington and I was lucky enough to attend most of it--along with thousands of pligrams. I kept you three in my heart and prayers. In these times of war and destruction it is wonderful to see such devotion to the Blessed Eucharist. Love and grow cells grow.

Hello Timothy, Annie, and Mark. I'm sure that getting into your new routine is quite a challenge. It was so touching to see the greetings from your nurse(s?) and Caterina's family after leaving the hospital. You can see how your fight has touched these wonderful people in a positive way, as I'm sure they have touched your lives over the past three months. And, I see from reading the greetings that you might have some visitors this weekend -- Dan, Jan and Tanya. That'll be an upper, for sure. Tell them hi for us. Much love and prayers still coming from Texas. Grow cells, GROW -- and, BEAT SANDHOFF'S!

Hi Ann & Mark,
I just have to ask...the first night you came home with Timothy did your on-call nurse get a 2:30 a.m. panic call because you forgot to flush the lines?????? If not, you are way ahead of the game and have my utmost admiration. Timothy - your winning smile is on my laptop. Go baby.

Congratulations to the whole family!! Timothy you are a champion and we are all so proud of you. You don't know me but I am Caterina's aunt and we have kept you in our prayers for some time now. I spend a week with Cati at the hospital and I saw you a couple of times and really hoped everything went well for you. Now I am back in the Dominican Republic and was so happy to read the update and hear you all are doing well at home. Timothy, you are a living proof that we must never loose hope and that God is hearing our prayers. Stay strong and have a great life.

Dis nous si tu as envi de quelques "French stuffs" Comment ça va avec le masque ??? c'est pas très drôle j'immagine !!! Je pars demain matin avec Maëlys (qui attend son bébé pour dans 3 semaines)et ton petit ami Jean Gabriel, pour le mariage d'Etienne. Prie pour que le bébé ne naisse pas dans notre voiture !!! Vincent est en mission et n'arrivera que samedi matin... je préfèrerais qu'il attende son papa... Un gros bisou à tous les 3, avec notre immense tendresse.

In an interview on this morning's early TV, the PhD author of a new book "The Spiritual Gene" (or something like that)advanced the notion that DNA carries a gene that makes 'spirituality' (or hope or survival) part of the genetic makeup.

Me must be right -- witness all the persuasive supplications made by yourselves, your family, friends and acquaintances to make certain the spirituality gene is part of T's DNA strand!

He did not, alas, mention swabbing the gums with bourbon whiskey to relieve the discomfort of growning new teeth, much less the pain of growing new cells. Must not be a southerner.

Hug Timothy!

In this case, it is a critical "move."

Hey Timothy! Finally gittin out out of that hospital, eh? What a change for all of you! We'll be throwin' more prayers your way as you continue your unbelievable battle to grow new cells. Annie and Mark too! You've got a tough week ahead moving into your new surroundings - but we're all thinking and praying for all of you.

I'm over at Tommy's typing this on his new laptop computer, which Danny took Tommy out to buy the other day. Tommy's goes to his "chemo therapy" session this morning - an appointment that isn't much fun, as it leaves him quite tired. In spite of all this, he thinks and prays for you too!

Billy's here too and sends his love and prayers as you continue your amazing recovery at Duke Medical and all those wonderful doctors and nurses that you have there.

Patsy, the Sheehan family and I all said another rosary and the novenas last night for you. Hang in there buddy! You are certainly fighting the good fight!!

much love,

Timmy,

We are glad that you are continuing to progress. Keep up the good work. I would like to join you guys in a "cell dance." Sounds fun! After two weeks of hurricane dodging, I was glad to get caught up on the journal entries. We are praying for you and your folks Timmy. Stay focused and continue to amaze us all. We love you!

Ok, Ok! So the Houston Texans got off to a bad start, yesterday. But, I think they heard about Timothy's website and they have a re-newed idea about what a fighting spirit is all about. Watch out for the Texans next week, Detroit! You show 'em, Timothy! I also have good vibes about your battle. I was stunned when Annie recently started talking about discharge procedures, but I don't think I'd bet against her. Love and prayers as always,

Timothy, Annie and Mark, I check in every day and continue to see the good news of your progress, Timothy. What a great family you have pulling for you. I don't know about the other side of your family, but I know the strength of the Haley family. You may even feel the presence of Helen and Ora Ben though you may not recognize them, Timothy! For they are with you, as are we all who pray for you every day. GROW, CELLS, GROW!

Hey Timothy, we're BIG Redskins fans here and know that you have coaches (parents) and fans (the rest of us) who are even better than the great Joe Gibbs and the Redskins fans(and that's saying a lot!). We're pulling and praying for you here and hope that nasty diaper rash goes away soon! We check every day for updates and love to see your cute face! Lots of love to all of you!

Hey Timothy - the Broncos won last night against the Kansas City Chiefs, #1 offense in the league! No one thought the Broncos could come up with such a winning opener, not even me. So, I couldn't help but think of you - and the winning battle you are waging. Keep up the good fight - you're a winner in everyone's eyes around the country! We all love and pray for you every day.

Let us know what the doctor says about your chest x-ray today - and if they fixed your little diaper rash problem. I'm sure before the day is over, all will be well again - so hang in there, as you have so many times before.

lots of love and prayers are still coming your way!

love,

Yo Timothy, (you too Mom and Dad)
Wow, you are doing great! We are 'all' so happy to monitor your progress every day. Tell Mom and Dad that I ripped out the security system to your house in a fit of rage a couple of days ago... no big deal. The police and fire dept. came and took me in for questioning and all I had to do was spend the night in jail and pay the fine. But tell your Dad that I did get my drill back. Other than that everything on this end is going great! ;)

Dear T, A & M,
So much positive news. We've been praying for a miracle for Timmy and expecting it to arrive like Lazurus rising from the dead. Instead the miracle is happening a little at a time.
We've been praying FOR something for a long time and now I'm starting to include prayers of Thanksgiving every day along with my normal miracle prayers.
We truly have so many amazing things to be thankful for including the love of so many who care about T, A, & M.
Love and kisses from Grandma Ritacco and Grandpa

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go thru these days and nights. Thank God for the Duke Children's Hospital. Expect a miracle! As I sit at my computer, my 18 month old granddaughter is asleep in Nana's room. She is healthy and I am so blessed. You, too, are blessed and I know Timothy will be healthy again soon.

Dear Timothy, Annie, and Mark. Lynne and I have just returned from a family trip to the Bay Area in California -- complete with tours of the Fisherman's Wharf and of Alcatraz. The real reward was getting to spend time with family that we don't see nearly often enough. Each day, however, we needed to come and visit you at your website to see how you were doing and to be re-energized by the love and strength that is manifested here so continually. And, we did -- we're addicted! Thank you for keeping it so alive. You know that our love and prayers for you accompany this note.

Grow, donor cells, GROW!

Timothy chéri,
Incroyable ! La magie d'internet ! Nous sommes tous unis à vous, nous les internautes, à travers le monde, et prions ensemble, pour ta guérison.
Malgré tout, nous voudrions être près de vous et vous serrer dans nos bras, très fort ! Vous entendre et vous voir, rire et pleurer avec vous, vous venir en aide lorsque vous n'en pouvez plus. Mais nous serions trop encombrants !Les nouvelles que vous nous donnez régulièrement nous permettent de nous sentir proches de vous. Elles nous rappellent, combien ce combat que vous avez engagé est fait de joies et de souffrances ! Nous savons tous que la force que vous recevez pour faire face jour après jour, c'est le Seigneur qui vous la donne. A Marie, nous demandons qu'elle vous donne à tous les trois des graces de patience, de courage, de force, de confiance, d'abandon, de lacher prise, de fidélité, de pardon. Dans un même Amour, avec Jésus, nous sommes tous unis dans la prière autour de vous. Surtout, il ne faudrait pas que tu crois que tu nous déçois si tes bonnes cellules ne grossissent pas suffisemment vite ! Nous aussi, nous devons être patients et faire confiance et surtout ne pas vouloir aller à notre vitesse, mais à la tienne. Laisser Jésus te guider là et quand il veut. Fais un très gros bisou pour nous à ceux qui t'entourent. Merci Annie et Mark, merci de nous permettre d'être "avec vous". Nous vous aimons et vous embrassons tendrement.

Your smile makes me smile. My brother Richard calls it my happy place. I'm praying for you and can't wait to meet you! Oh, by the way, my parents and brothers say hi and keep up the good work!

You know, Timothy, I planted some dahlia bulbs way too late this summer but I watered them every day and I thought good thoughts for them and wouldn't you know it ... this weekend they started to bloom in the most beautiful lively colors. So, I'm taking the same approach with you and those new cells of yours ... I'm checking in on you every day and I'm thinking good thoughts for you every day and soon your cell counts are going to be as high as a dahlia stem in the middle of August (which is pretty high ... but you'll see that for yourself next summer when you are back here in Colorado). Wishing you sweet, peaceful dreams and soothed gums from Downing Street.

Hi, Timothy! Your mom & dad are doing such a wonderful job on keeping us updated on your website here! I'm really taken aback by what great progress you appear to be making. All those prayers - someone is listening, right?
Your grandma Pat arrived safely back here in Denver and talks constantly about the wonderful care and treatment you are getting at the hospital. Kati picked her up at the airport last night and we all went to Peggy's for dinner. After dinner, Patsy, Peggy and the children snuck into the living room to say another novena for you! I didn't even know they were there - so I'm doin my own for you today.
You are in wonderful hands and so fortunate to have such a loving mom and dad (not to speak of all the other family members and friends who love you too!)
Thanks again for all those great pictures - it really helps me to see what great progress you are indeed making!

Sweet baby Timothy,
You're doing so great! What a good cell-grower! The teething thing is yucky, isn't it? But just think, more teeth to add to that already beautiful smile of yours!

Tell Mummy that Mike, Allen and the gang were so pleased to get a Timmy-update and they too will be visiting your fantabulous website. They really loved your Mummy at Georgetown.

Thank you so much for the stool for your friend Caroline(your Mummy actually sent me another type of stool a few years back and I gave her one too....we like swapping stools!) Another gift you have given Caroline-we pray together each night and she remembers you in her prayers. Thank you Timmy.

Hi my little Timmy,
Katy and Chantal said what I was going to say. So here's a little song I used to sing to all my little babies when we we alone and being silly. Katy or even your mom will sing you the tune. "I love you so much, I love you so much, yes I love you, I love you so much. I do. I do I really really do." followed by lots and lots of kisses. If that doesn't work, here's one that Mimi used to sing to all of us, "Hush a bye, my little doll baby, all the little doll babies are weary. Mimi loves the little doll baby..." repeat. I have to stop, because you are now supposed to be sleeping. Now we can all rest because we not only have all these people reading this praying for us but all those people in Heaven. Keep growing all those cells and we'll pray for the hurt to go away.
Love you guys.

Dearest Annie, Mark, Timothy and Pat
Julia forwarded your webpage address to me. Thank you, Bean!

Timmie, when you read this later, you must know how devoted and resourceful your whole team was and is, and your fortitude doesn't really surprise me, given your antecedants. You don't know this, but I too have been a silent member of your team since first learning of your condition. Prayers and love to you, Kit

Timmy, again, you are AMAZING and I hear that even in the past 24 hours you have done a whole bunch more cell growing! I know that you are tired, and that you feel super yucky but KEEP STRONG and never give up-we will never give up on you. You too need to anticipate miracles as we have already been witness to so many. We love you so much and continue to pray every morning and night that you will regain health soon and that all the angels in heaven stay praying by your side. (and your mom's and dad's too)

Hi Ann, Mark, Timmy Tough-Guy:

As if the thousands of messages haven't already let you know, there are more people than you know following this site daily and praying with all of their hearts for Timmy to keep growing those cells. My entire family has made stopping here a part of our daily routine (although it's taken a few extra Internet "cut and paste" lessons for mom :) Your strength is a true inspiration to all of us. Thank you. Stay strong. And grow, cells grow.

I am not surprised that Timothy's web site has been viewed 2,911 times at this point. He has an exceptional family and exceptional family friends. We are, as many others, praying for cell growth. The early results are positive and we pray the future results will continue to be positive. We want you to know that a San Diego community is praying for Timothy and both of you with "Grow Cells Grow!!!"

Timothy, Ann, and Mark--

The energy of those who are accessing this site is downright palpable! In my model of the cosmos, that says a good deal about the healing energy coming Timothy's way.

Timothy, the arms of many, many grandmothers and grandfathers, aunts and uncles, cousins and consorts are holding you energetically in love--both those on this side of reality and in all others.

Mark and Ann, that same love is with you, too.

You certainly have mine.

Timothy, Annie and Mark,

Not a day goes by that I don't visit your web site. It has become such a source of strength and energy for me. Every day when I see that precious little face and the smiling faces of his parents, I clutch my Miraculous Medal and whisper "Thank you". And, now we see the beginnings of cell growth. Reminds me of seeing that first blade of grass in a newly-planted lawn. If one blade can grow, why not many?

I'll be downloading today's new pictures. I plan to make a photo gallery of all the pictures you put up on this web site. You guys are so photogenic!

Grow cells, GROW!

Keep smiling at your parents and keep that wonderfully crazy (remember, "crazy" is a compliment in the Haley family) Granny of yours pushing drugs.

Well that's great news about your cell activity Timothy! I'm over at Tommy's house and he's upstairs with a physical therapist and I'm trying to stay out of their way. I just happened to notice a quote from the "The Talmud" attached to his refrigerator (you know - one of those magnet things). Anyway the qoute goes something like this... "Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, Grow, Grow." This comforted me because I know there are more blades of grass out there than the number of blood cells that you received 11 days ago. Love from your Uncle (once removed) Danny

Mark, Annie and Tim
I read all of the journals. I was one of those who contacted your insurance company when I learned that they initially had not approved this treatment. It is so wonderful that stem cell research has made this possible, and it is tragic that so many others will not be as fortunate to have such a chance because of insane politics. I will be watching, but Tim is in the hands of the best medical people in the world. He must make it!
So, Grow Cells, Grow!

Ellen's dad here. What a happy sight to see Timmy for the first time today. What a trooper! You all have been in our prayers. I'm so happy that you found some great doctors. It's all been such a transition for you, but many good things can come from the trials in our lives, not the least of which is to discover that we are in God's hands. We often find ourselves looking for God, but when very unexpected, overpowering things happen, we find that it is God who is taking the initiative to find us and to reassure us of his presence and love. Give Timmy a big hug for all of the Butlers!

Dites à votre Uncle Higgs qu'il peut toujours apprendre le Français... enfin s'il veut faire partie de notre "french family" il doit le faire. Toi Timothy, tu sais que tu auras ta place chez O. Vincent et T. Maëlys lorsque tu sera grand, pour apprendre le Français de Jean-Gabriel... je voudrais y être !!! mais il faut encore être patient, avant il faut vraiment que ces cellules que nous voulons tous voir grandir se laissent charmer par ton sourir enjôleur !

My eyes filled with tears as I read your journal entries and looked at your beautiful pictures. I can visualize the Holy Spirit swimming trough Timmy's body protecting him from illness and nurturing those new white blood cells about to bloom in his preciuos little body. Our minister's sermon this past Sunday was about Olympics of the Heart/Spirit. You guys have certainly won the Gold Medal in this competition and I am in awe of your spiritual athleticism and feel so proud that I know you and honored that you have shared and continue to share this journey.

Annapolis, MD - Monday, August 30, 2004 3:23 PM CDT

Dear Timothy,
I'm a friend of your dad's. When you're a teenager, reading these messages and reflecting on your start on life, I hope three lessons emerge:
1) How much your parents love you;
2) That you dealt with this challenge with courage and
smiles (great smiles at that judging by the
pictures!) and your ability to deal with great
challenges will lead you to great accomplishments;
and
3) Finally, (and maybe of slightly lesser importance
than the first two - - although I'm not sure I can
concede this) just because you're having this amazing
experience at Duke doesn't mean you need to choose to
become a "Blue Devil" -- you can still become a
Georgetown "Hoya" !!

I've got a house full of good looking teenage girls (my
three daughters) pulling for you big time. All of our
prayers are with you.

You're doing great! A fighter for sure, just like your mummy and daddy.

Hello Timothy, Annie and Mark !
Merci du fond du coeur de nous donner tant de nouvelles régulièrement. C'est vraiment fantastique de vous suivre ainsi. Nos prières vous accompagnent, n'en doutez pas une seconde ! Ce matin, Dominique et moi avons donné les dernières nouvelles à Soeur Catherine. Elle est partie avec un classeur plein de photos et de mails, la plupart en anglais... elle m'a dit qu'elle allait faire lire tout cela à sa communauté. Tu es bien entouré Timmothy !!! all over the world people pray for you and be sure de cells grow, growwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Annie, a little late, but you know combien nous pensons à toi, si fort ! et à vous trois si souvent dans la journée. Dominique et moi vous embrassons tendrement tous les trois et continuons à prier.

Your son Timothy is just beautiful. I really enjoyed the pictures. My son Andrew has Hurlers and transplanted at Duke 3 years ago. Yes Dr. K is a wonder and I would love for someone to do a biography of her sometime but I don't know how they would ever keep up. I looked up Sandhoff's but I didn't find out much. Maybe you could put a little summery at the head of your page to educate us new comers. Is is like Hurlers? I will check in on you. Love, Anne

Dear Anne - Your darling Timothy is a real hero. GROW CELLS GROW! I am so moved by this website and love reading your words. It is very inspiring! It is also such a coincidence that I know of 2 DORABLE BABIES benefitting from the wonders of Duke and their angels. What a blessing to know you have each other's families and the healing team there. I am thinking of you often and sending peace and love. XO Philae

Dear Timothy, I’m delighted to find this new way to send e-hugs. I’ve read your journal and many of your e-mails. All the words simply prove, what I already knew, you are one special person. It was fun to see that smile and I could almost hear the giggles. Now if you would give your mother a belated birthday hug for me, I’d like that. A quick message to thank you and your parents! You three have taught those of us at TCH a lot. Thank you for sharing the very personal side of what you are all going through. The strength you have shown has rubbed off on all of us. I think of you often and send up prayers for you. The mantra “grow cells grow” is a good one to add. I’m afraid that I was unaware of Caring Bridge. What a wonderful organization. I have some colleagues who are praying for you, and I wonder if I could share Timothy’s web site with them. One friend calls often to ask how you are doing Timothy. Hugs all around! Lynn

We recently learned about your odyssey to Duke, and have been keeping you in our prayers. (Thanks to Valerie Long for sharing this web site address ~ now we're praying "Grow, cells, grow.") It sounds like you're in the best of hands down there, and there is a solid Wahoo contingent cheering y'all on. Please let us know if there is anything we can do; we're right up the road!

Hi Timothy! We haven't met yet, but my mom and dad tell me you're the greatest. They seem pretty clueless in a lot of ways, but I have a feeling they're right about you. I've been in the world for seven days now, and so far, so good. Mom and dad do their best to feed me and change my diapers, but they complain all the time about not sleeping. I don't know what they're talking about -- I sleep all the time! Mom and dad say your mom and dad are two of the neatest people they know. I can't wait to meet them, and you, as I'm still looking for some friends in this crazy world.

Oh, and mom told me to tell you to wish your mom happy birthday. Give her a big hug and kiss from all of us.

Love,

Timothy,
Hier, j'ai reçu un coup de fil de Soeur Catherine, de la communauté des Dominicaines d'Etrépagny. Elle ne t'a jamais vu, mais en Jésus, elle te connait et prie pour toi avec toute sa communauté et son groupe de prière à qui elle a confié ta guérison. Elle a fait célébrer une messe rien que pour toi le jour où tu es entré à l'hôpital. Elle prie pour toi et tes parents chéris chaque jour. Bientôt, tu pourras aller l'embrasser lorsque tu viendra jouer avec Ombeline, Jeanne et Jean Gabriel et sa petite soeur, à l'Hermitage.
Bien sur, nous aussi nous continuons à prier pour toi, ton Papa et ta Maman. Nous demandons au Seigneur de vous donner toute la force dont vous avez besoin, jour après jour, et à Marie de ne pas vous lacher la main, pour que vous ne trébuchiez pas sur ce chemin où la Foi, la confiance et l'espérance doivent être vos seuls amis.
Dominique et moi t'embrassons avec toute notre immense tendresse.

Hi Timothy, Annie, Mark & Patsy,
Patsy will remember me but it has been a long time! I only today got to personal email and cried to know I had not known sooner of Timothy's battle. At any rate, I have joined the ranks of prayer partners and will add Timothy to my Partners Prayer list immediately for success and recovery. Father God, in Jesus' name, I thank you that Jesus died for Timothy, that he may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). May the life of the Lord Jesus touch Timmy's little body, permeate each and every cell, especially all those new ones, and bring life and wholeness to him. Lord, Your Word says there is life and death in the power of our words. We join together with You to speak life to Timothy, to all the new cells and long life to him, all to the glory of God the Father and Jesus His Son! Be encouraged, Mom and Dad and Gramma Patsy, because you have so many wonderful promises in God's Word that the Lord Himself said will not return void if you will but trust Him. Trust even when fear knocks at the door. Praise when it hurts because God is faithful and He loves little Timothy more than anyone! Love to you all!

Annie, Mark, and Timothy
Just letting you know that we're all thinking of you here in Denver. Sounds like you're going strong and deserve a gold medal like a lot of your fellow Americans in Athens! Michael Phelps and Tyler Hamilton could probably learn a thing or two from you--and they've already won gold medals! Keep up the good work!
