Maw and Paw
The only good thing about Collin getting sick is that it usually brings family into town. My wonderful Dad and step-mom packed up their car and drove all the way from Texas to check on Collin. My Dad called me on Wednesday to let me know that they would be coming. What a wonderful surprise for an awful week!! Collin went through so many horrible things. I will not even go into all of it. It is truly heart breaking to even think of it. He is such a special and strong little boy. OH, I am so lucky!!! It was so wonderful having them here with us this past weekend. The second Collin saw his Paw he had a smile on his face that was constant the entire weekend. He was just the medicine that he needed…. Ok, the medicine and pick me up that I needed as well! Thank you again for coming out here to check on us!! We love y’all so much!!!!

Hey Julie it's Mandy again. But I am part of an online support group here in UT and we got this forwarded onto us. I don't have your email so I will post it here but I just thought you may want to option of submitting that awesome poem you wrote about Collin. I guess they can't publish everything but it might be worth a shot, and include a picture of that awesome smile as well :)
Here is the info:
