Ben was diagnosed with brain cancer at 10 years old. When
he was told about his tumor, his first question was "when can I go back to
school?" That was September of 2016. I am thrilled to say that he just
started back in August of this year. It was a long hard road but we made it.
There are many more hurdles to overcome but we made it this far. We are
blessed.
These words from Ben’s mom brought me to tears. So simple
but so powerful. A kid who just wanted to be a normal kid and go to school. We
often focus on the surgeries and the chemotherapy and all the hospital time.
But sometimes we forget that for the kids, they are focused on how all of that
takes them away from their friends and their normalcy. For them, the hard part
is being different.
Welcome back to school Ben! We hope it’s an awesome year!
