In Memory of Jaret

With great sadness, I learned today that an amazing little man from the great state of Ohio was granted eternal life early this morning as his soul left Columbus Children's bound for Heaven. We had the pleasure of meeting and treating with Jaret (forever 7) in Columbus back in 2002, as he was diagnosed about 8 months before Christi and sadly lost all of his hearing early on as a result of the harsh early chemos. Jaret was able to enjoy two and a half years of remission before this evil, wicked and vicious beast came back in January of this year. I'm so saddened to have to share this news, but I know we can always count on Christi's Prayer Warriors to lift his wondeful family up during unbelievably difficult times, like this. When we were at CHOP with Jaret in April and again in May when he was back for treatment, he was the picture of good health walking around the hospital, sweetly ignoring the attention I was trying to give him. May God provide comfort to help through through the numbness and hole in their hearts which will always remain while here on earth. Jaret's website is: www.caringbridge.org/oh/jaret as I'm certain his family would appreciate a message of sympathy left in his guestbook. His parents are so sweet!
