Hello to our family, friends and new friends! Well...today...our Sheridan Bug went to kindergarten for the first time! I can't believe it that she's starting school already! Roman and I walked her in, she hung her backpack up and sat right down and started playing with Playdoh, waiting on the other kids to arrive on the bus. We gave her a hug and kiss goodbye and she went right back to playing Playdoh. And so another great chapter in our life is beginning with Sheridan starting school. It is very exciting! And no everyone...I did NOT cry. I guess I am so tired of all the OTHER crying we do with Roman, that I wanted to to just truly enjoy a very NORMAL moment. I know all of our Roman followers can appreciate the NORMAL moments we have. So, Roman and I are hanging out together and we will be having some mother son bonding time together every day that Sheridan is at school. I will so enjoy our time together.I also wanted to share with you my dear friend and fellow NB cancer mom, Debra Nickell's beautiful writing she did last week. We both "vented" and Mike called my venting a "manifesto". Debra's is not as WINDY as mine, but I can assure you that you will feel what she wrote in your hearts. She wrote about what it feels like right now where we are, where are boys are with being NED and being scared out of our minds with a RELAPSE. If you would like to send Debra a reply or response, I can forward it to her, just send it to me. Enjoy the writing titled "THUNDERSTORMS" by Debra Nickell....

Welcome to the Rescue Roman website.
I am a happy, adorable little boy. With the exception of having a peanut allergy, I've been perfectly healthy until my swollen right eye led doctors to discover I have cancer. I was diagnosed in April 2007 with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. I'm only two years old and I'm fighting for my life.

Thanks for visiting my website.
Keep reading to learn more about me, my fight against cancer and what you can do to help.

Two Feather's Prayer
Hear me, four quarters of the world-- a relative I am!
Give me the strength to walk the soft earth.
Give me the eyes to see and the strength to understand,
that I may be like you.
With your power only can I face the winds.
Great Spirit...all over the earth the faces of living things are all alike.
With tenderness have these come up out of the ground.
Look upon these faces of children without number
and with children in their arms,
that they may face the winds
and walk the good road to the day of quiet.
This is my prayer hear me!
