Jesse's Graduation

Yesterday my little brother, Jesse, graduated from highschool... I just can't believe he is all grown up! There is 8 years age difference between Jesse and I, and in some ways I feel like a mother towards him!

Jesse was always my little "buddy" growing up. He did everything with my sister and me, and hung out with us and our friends all the time. We always got along, and he was never the "annoying little brother"!

We haven't been as close during his teenage years, but I guess it's not "cool" to hang out with your big sister when you're a teenager or something. But that's okay.


I wish my dad could've been there to see him graduate-he would have been so proud, since he never graduated from highschool himself. :( I know my brother has had a tough time since my dad died. It really hurts me to think about it. But I know he'll be okay. All I want is for him to be happy!


Here's us at my graduation in '03









And here's us at his graduation:

    How great Lindsay! I'm glad you could be there for his special day.

    You know how people wish they could look like they did in high school? Well, you look even younger now! Such a cute dress : )

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

One Year...

One year ago today... the day it all changed. It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: “The tumor came back.”  My heart stopped. Matt had gone in that morning for an MRI, as he has done numerous times in the past 10 years. He was now at the point where he had an MRI just yearly now, and that one was done in February, which showed that everything was fine. There was no sign of tumor growth, which had been the case for the last 10 years, praise God. But because Matt had been having some seizure activity for the last few months, they suggested he go in for another MRI in July. We then decided we should move up the appointment, because he had been having a headache every day for the past week. Good thing we did.... After I hung up with Matt,  I immediately brok...
