Donna-Silver Point is about 1 1/2-2 hrs from here. It is basically in the middle of nowhere...LOL. Our guess is someone from Bonnie's church or a friend of a friend thru Todd's work. Thanks for trying to help us figure out the puzzle. LOL.

The anonymous person on one of the last posts-Your sick!! I can not believe you would say something like that!

Once again, Thanks to EVERYONE who has been positive and who prays for us on a daily basis. Keep up the good thoughts, not negative like the last person! Thanks all!!!

Hi Kim,

... it could still be an Internet relay point, but Bonnie is more than likely, right.

I'm sure that 'anonymous' did not intend that remark to inflict pain. But I certainly understand how you were hurt by it.

Of course you want to put this behind you, anyone would. I can't know for sure their (anonymous')intent, but I hope what this person was trying to say is that we all need to learn to live in deep appreciation of each day - see it as a gift - even if the gift does not come in the package we had hoped for.

God truly does want only what's best for us... but there are all these lessons we are here to learn! Often the harder the challenge the larger the blessing waiting on the other side. And this we must 'choose to believe' in the face of not even knowing what the lesson is we are being asked to learn!

I say this most humbly and with deep respect for what you are going through. It is VERY difficult to see the blessings or care about "lessons" while living with the reality of this disease, but we must try. We must have faith also that the disease can be gone as quickly as it came. That is the power of love. God is love.

Each moment of each day is all that we truly possess. This is true for everyone, not just those experiencing the trauma of illness or who live among other life threats.

When times get really tough and you just want to "get through it"... pause, and thank God for the experience and then ask, "Please help me get through the experience."... and look for the comfort, because it is instantly delivered - expect it... know it.

Meantime, find love in the myriad small gifts that surround you. Take a walk in nature... look into your beautiful child's eyes... look into Todd's eyes... we don't have to go far to find God is still there. Waiting for our acceptance...our 'noticing'.

This family has been blessed with miracles. I believe another is in store for Todd and Bonnie. First, we must somehow find a way to accept the container in which the miracle beneath, was sent.

Express your emotions... get them out - yell and shout (preferably where no one else can hear you!) but always call your spirit back and trust that all will be OK, in His time.

Love everyone and everything all around you, more than you ever did before.

Sent with love,

Donna

Hi Kim,
My name is Christa Masters and I live in New Baltimore, MI. My husband has a condition called Clival Chordoma. It is a tumor located in his Clival bone which is behind the sinuses of the nose. OUr doctors just referred us to the Florida Proton Institute and we have a Consult with Dr. Malyapa on April 16. I was just wondering if you could give me some information on your experiences down there with the center, doctors, etc. I am very scared about this whole process and was hoping to get somne guidence from someone who has been there.

Thanks and I hope your family is doing well.
