I've been told that we aren't given the tasks that we deserve, we are given the tasks that we can handle!

Announcment: Just wanted to let everyone know ~ The way I started the new journal allows you to leave comments for us to postings that I've made! Please don't hesitate to do so. We love to hear from you all ~ it helps us to know how much you all care!  And someday Donavynn will be able to read all of your comments and know how much he is really loved! Don't forget to check out our website for Alex's lemonade stand www.firstgiving.com/AlexslemonadeforDonavynn , NO donation is to small ~ and all of it goes to research ALL types of childhood cancer! Also if you would like to help other families like ours check out www.cancerwarriors.org , if you don't want to make the long term commitment you can become a birthday angel or christmas angel only. We love you all!!!

Hello everyone!  I decided to create this website so that everyone can have access to Donavynn's progress.   This is a journal of the long road that we are on. Of all the triumphs, all the tears and all our hopes!  This is also an outlet for me. Since Donavynn's diagnosis I have struggled to come to terms with everything.  And recently I have done so, by trying to help others who are dealing with what we are dealing with. I appreciate all of your support, thoughts, and prayers. You - are family and friends keep me strong!

As you probably know our lives are very busy and we don't always have the time to call everyone.  We don't want anyone to feel slighted so now everyone can just log on and see how we are doing!

Sarah Beth is scared to death

To hear what the doctor will say

She hasn't been well

Since the day that she fell

And the bruises just won't go away

So she sits and see waits with her mother and dad

Flips through an old magazine

Till  the nurse with a smile

Stands at the door

And says will you please come with me



Sarah Beth is scared to death

Cause the doctor just told her the news

Between the red cells and white

Something's not right

But we're gonna take care of you



Six chances in ten it won't come back again

With the therapy were gonna try

It's just been approved

It's the strongest there is

I think we caught it in time



Sarah Beth closes her eyes

She dreams she's dancing

Around and around without any cares

And her very first love is holding her close

And the soft wind in blowing her hair



Sarah Beth is scared to death

As she sits holding her mom

Says it would be a mistake

For someone to take

A girl with no hair to the prom



Oh, just this morning right there on her pillow

Was the cruelest of any surprise

And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands

The proof that she couldn't deny



Sarah Beth closes her eyes

She dreams she's dancing

Around and around without any cares       

And her very first love is holding her close

And the soft wind is blowing her hair   



It's a quarter to 7

That boy's at the door

Her daddy ushers him in

And when he takes off his cap

They all start to cry

Cuz this morning where his hair had been

Softly she touches just skin



And they go dancing

Around and around without any cares

And her very first true love is holding her close

And for a moment she isn't scared
