So great to see all the current photos. <br /><br />Here is my message from Google+--not sure how best to reach you. Katy--hi!!!! I almost missed your message because I never use Google+. Best to reach me by email galenpearl@gmail.com or FB. I do think about you and Sammy and I've wondered how he's doing. So VERY happy to hear that he has made his 5 year anniversary. What a story for you to tell his children and for him to tell his grandchildren! <br />I'm doing fine. I miss my blog sometimes, too, and I think about starting something new. We'll see. This has been a year of quiet contemplation and reflection. <br />I hope you will send me a photo of Sammy. And his brother, too. How old are they now? And what are they up to? You seem to be up to a jewelry business--how is that going? <br />Thank you SOOOO much for getting in touch. It really meant a lot to me.<br />Blessings to you and your family this holiday season.

As always, I am drawn to your blog when I feel most desperate and in need of guidance, truth, hope. I too lost a friend to leukemia. She was 13. I remember her wigs and the terrible pain she had walking. I remember she died after a year of battling. We shared the experience because we went to school together, but the community did not really know much about it. <br />Sammy has reached a point where he wants to 'not be famous' or 'super' or 'the cancer kid' anymore. I respect that. I'm sure he will reach out to others once he is older. I, however, must keep shouting out! I owe it to every child I looked into the eyes of in CHAM, every family I told how sorry I was for their loss, every post from a friend telling me about a new angel with God. <br />Thanks you, my friend, you help me so much.<br />Katy xxxkatyhttp://www.supermansammyz.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718085771990861597.post-9560546371367347202012-08-06T14:01:30.221-04:002012-08-06T14:01:30.221-04:00A powerful and moving post.

In fact, I made a reference to you in this recent blog post http://10stepstofindingyourhappyplace.blogspot.com/2012/07/in-heartbeat.html<br /><br />And I mentioned you in my book coming out in October. <br /><br />Thank you for keeping us mindful of the sorrow and ongoing pain of childhood cancer. <br /><br />I don't know if I ever told you this, but one of my best friends died of cancer when I was 12. She was sick for over a year. I visited her in the hospital several times a week, and almost every day when she was at home. That experience shaped my thoughts about death at an early age, and also about telling the truth to kids. Back then the common wisdom was to shield children (and adults for that matter) from the truth. That was one of the hardest things about the time I spent with her. She had no opportunity to talk honestly about what was happening to her. <br /><br />Give Sammy a hug for me. And have someone give you a hug for me, too!Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718085771990861597.post-42240018699895458742012-08-06T10:16:21.111-04:002012-08-06T10:16:21.111-04:00Love you too my friend.
