It's amazing how "weak" someone can be, and still be stronger than any of the rest of us. Some people's spirit is just so powerful, it amazes me.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. Not only is it touching, but it also gives some serious perspective. The next time I feel like complaining about work, or how bad things are going in my life, I'll think about Bryaden, and his fight.

Brayden is an example for all of us, and I wish you both the best of luck, and all the happiness in the world.

You know, my expirence with Brayden allowed me to see many very special children fighting against the odds. I came to the conclusion that most adults fighting the same battle would be unable to keep fighting, much less keep smiling. You wouldn't believe the number of kids with cancer that I saw in the hospital playroom with smiles on their faces, despite the horrible chemotherapy they were enduring. Kids have such a drive to live, even the tiniest of infants. We could learn a lot from these kids. I know that Brayden has taught me much more than I will ever teach him.
