For Jeremy



Glimmering Star

Death came in the silence of the evening

a knock sending fear to the bone

He came looking for me alone

his ride had only room for one.

Better to leave this place,

and live now Forever.

Stand not at my grave and weep

For I'm the wind that stirs your soul

Look not for me for I'm not there

I'm the glint in flakes of snow

I'm the cool shower on April morn

In the hush of nights silent air

I'm the rush that that fills your soul

Stand not at my grave and weep

For I'm not dead

I'm with you at your side

When you feel the wind blow

I'm the sweet uplifting rush.

Look to the north

I'm the Glimmering star

Cry not for me

for I'm eternally yours.

pics from JEREMY's Party














Jeremy and his friends .. Thanks to all of them for helping him.




another JEREMY Update


This is from his mother ... My little sis Kelly....
Thank you to People In Crisis United (PICU). They put together a "party" for some of Jeremy's friends. They were able to come and have pizza, talk to a doctor and visit Jeremy. Thanks to my good friend Barbra Collins, the kids made their way to Miami on the tri-rail and metro-rail. I think it has been good for Jeremy. he moved his head several times while they were taking to him, and was breathing more on his own for them. As they were getting ready to head out they noticed that he was listening to the Beatles on his zune - and moms and girls struck up 'Love Me Do' to which he moved his head from one side to the other - then the guys sang "Yellow Submarine" for him. All in all a good day. I really feel that the love that his friends give him will help him so much. Thanks to all of you for coming!

Busy day today.... Jeremy is begining to respond to his treatments and was moved to an air bed for more comfort. Joshy went to the Dr today .. we finally found out about his rash and it is not what was guessed but actually Psoriasis and is nothing contagious.. he is very happy about that. Took Chazzy to get his tag renewed for shaggy and then went shopping with him. Getting ready to move into a house soon and it is alot of work.

World Cancer Day

Today is world cancer day - A small request.. Just one line
Dear God, I pray for a cure for cancer. Amen



All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it's only to one more person.
In memory of anyone you know who has been struck down by cancer or is still living with it.

A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle..

And while you're at it.. Please remember Jeremy in his battle with Leukemia. His kidneys have finally begun to work again and today he gets a spinal and bone marrow treatment.
Thanks

Update on Jeremy





Hey all ... here is an update on my nephew's condition. He had a very rough week of treatments .. so much so that they kept him asleep the entire time. He began Chemo on Wednesday and the wait has been to see if his liver and kidneys would start working again. He has been on dialysis all week also.

The word as of this morning.. monday.. is that they have shown signs of begining to work and his leukemia cell count has dropped dramatically. The chemo appears to be working !

He has a huge support group of family and friends ... but it is a long way to go yet and very expensive. If anyone knows any groups that will help the family in any way please contact me (TeddyCares2@gmail.com) or my brother Mike (snowballsss49@aol.com)
To keep up with Jeremy's progress or to sign his guest book.. or any other info check his site at CaringBridge

Jeremy Gomez


A few months ago Jeremy, My 16 year old nephew, was your typical high school teen. He is a musician, a bit of an actor and good student. His mom and dad are both hard workers and provide for him nicely.
Then one day his teacher sent him home ... his color wasn't right ... kind of yellowish. My sister took him to the doctor and after a few tests found that his liver wasn't working right.

Luckliy for him. there was a transplant liver available for him. He had the surgery and was recovering well. Last week he began to feel bad again. He wasn't eating and was getting weak again. Another trip to the Hospital in Miami for him.

The Fourth of July he was admitted to PICU at Miami Childrens hospital... one more time. After a bunch of very uncomfortable and sometimes painful tests they came up with a diagnosis. Jeremy has ALL... Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia . He began chemo the next day. The doctors say with treatment and if things go right .. he has 3 months of intense treatments and then 3 years of continuing treatments. That means he will be in the hospital 70 miles from his home for 3 months.
I also learned today that they have him on dialysis.
He needs all the prayers and support that everyone can give him.
