Carolina's message of hope

As the parent of a recently diagnosed teenage boy with leukemia, I am, of course, deeply touched by the life of Nick. Our 18-year-old son battling leukemia is also named Nick. How closely your story matches ours....Words can never describe the range and intensity of emotions felt when the horrible, out-of-nowhere diagnosis is made. And then, as we face the uphill battle together, when fear and worry mingle with exhaustion, a deep sense for the "old" life continually rears its dramatic head. But alas, we remain hopeful. Not just for our own children, but for each and every child who is facing illness. Nick's story is one full of hope. My own son's story is one filled with hope. In the end, hope and faith is what it's all about. And then there's love. Thank you for sharing your powerful testimony to a child you deeply loved. Faith, hope and love...these three. And the greatest of these is love.
