Izzy Bear

Izabella is an amazing two year old girl who has fought and beaten cancer. When she was just learning to walk her parents discovered that she refused to put pressure on her legs. They could not figure out why so they took her to the docter and were told that she was just colicky. So they went on with life but the screaming and crying just got worse. They went and got a secong opinion and found out that she had a tumor on her spinal cord. Izzy then had surgery to remove the tumor and began chemo. Her first treatments were extremly hard on her. When you see an inocent two year old girl getting poked with needles everyday and poison put into her body you can not be okay with it. But Izzy is like no other girl, through this all she had a grin on her face and in some way looked forward to going to the hospital. It was her second home. While going through this process they finally discoverd the name for her cancer it is Adrenal Camcer. This is a very rare cancer. Izzy fought through the thick and thin and ended up winning this battle. This past weekend she just turned two! If you do not believe in miracles here is one that happend right before my eyes. This little girl had angels on every side of her and would not give up. If you would like to see and learn more you can go to: www.caringbridge.com and type in izabellabrainerd Thanks!

Today I woke up and thought it would just be another day. Well don't get me wrong it was but there are bits and pieces that caught me off guard. Like why akward silences... I was talking to an old friend of mine who I had recently got in an agrument with and he said that he had missed me. You want to know my response... silence... thanks! Who says that. I DO! Life can just throw the most random things at you. Akward silence and then to seconds later this amazing guy that cares so much about you and you have no clue why he likes you. I look at life like a map. You have so many options yet you don't always no the right answer. My main rule is go with you gut. It usually doesn't lie to you. I love my life even akward silences!!!

Love??

Love... What comes to mind when you think of the word love. Okay well maybe a male in female gazing into eachothers eyes and having butterflies in their stomachs? Well reality check here! That is not what it means to everyone! The first thought that comes to my mind is a four letter word that says so much but is used in a manner with no meaning. People say this word as if has the meaning of cow poop. Hmmmm. yum... NOT!!! The word love and its meaning should be repsected and really thought about before being used. Love is not just something you play around with. It is way more important than cow poop so treat it that way!
