Spent some time looking at your old post Joey and boy does it bring back a lot of memories. To look at you now you would never know all you have been through. You always have been and always will be the strongest and bravest young man I know. I am so looking forward to celebrating your graduation from treatment and maintenance. You deserve for all your dreams to come true.

I love you Joey. You are my favorite Joey in the whole entire world!

Love,

Mom

It is so great to know that Joey is doing so well. We have thought so often about him and prayed for your family over the last few years. I am amazed to know that you are continuing to raise money to fight cancer, even though your own family's fight is over. What a wonderful thing to continue. You guys rock, you are making a difference to many, many people. That is exactly the kind of thing that Jesus would do! We love you!

Hey Joey,
Man it has been a long time since I left you a note. I guess I am just so happy to see how well you are doing that coming to you web site sometimes takes me back to those days that were so difficult. It has been 9 months since your last chemotherapy and only a few more months till you visit PCH every three months. It has sure gone by fast. Third grade is almost over. You are getting so big. I just to tell you I love you bubba. I love you so very much. You are my favorite Joseph in this entire world and I am so happy you are feeling well!!!!
