When I first learned that I had cancer I was in the third grade at Resurrection School in Sunnyvale. My teachers and friends in school pray for me all the time and that makes me feel good. I have people all over the world praying for me to get better and praying for my doctors to know the right thing to do for me so that my body is cured of cancer and I can just be a kid again.
I love my mom (Tammy), my dad (Mike), and my brother (Joey) more than anything else in the world. I always want my mom, dad and Joey by my side. My mom always tells me what is happening with my body and because she is a nurse she takes care of me. My dad always makes me laugh because of what he says and what he does is really funny. Joey is a great buddy and no matter what, he always treats me the same.
I love my uncle Alex because he takes me to basketball games and baseball games, and he makes me laugh and he makes me forget about my cancer. I love my aunt Cathy because she is funny and she makes me feel happy and she keeps my mom company. She is always around helping out like when I have to barf. The first time in the hospital, she handed me a plate that I barfed in and another time I barfed out her car window. I love my cousin Ryan because I always watch him skateboard and being outdoors with him makes me feel good. Ryan is a good Halo player and I never beat him except a few times when I hit him with my plasma pistol. I love my cousin Nicole because she bakes me cookies. I love my cousin Melissa and I think about her a lot and miss her and I hope she is missing me and praying for me.
"I love to play at my Grandma's house. She is great because she distracts me, has fun with me, and she is very loving and keeps playing video games with me even though she always loses. "
My auntie "Ang" (Angela) had a hip problem one year when we were in Hawaii and she also had a sore tooth so since I have cancer, we have something in common. My uncle Jeff plays in a band and he is a big Lord of the Rings fan. He is also a big sports fan. I like him a lot but especially his den where he keeps a lot of really cool stuff. He gave me a set of really great DVD's.
I like my uncle Butch a lot because he is a good uncle.
"I play with my cousins, Katie, Ashley, Jimmy and Jake when they come over. They distract me when I am not feeling good. Katie's class made me a fun poster with lots of neat get well messages."
