On January 20, 2011 our lives were forever changed.

Our sixteen year old son, Taylor, was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma.

This is his story.

"Taffy for Taylor"

We all love Taylor. Everything we do, we feel, and that we pray for comes down to that simple fact. And because we love him so much (in addition to the rest of the Davis family of course!) we spend a lot of time thinking about "what we can do"...

In a recent gathering of friends and neighbors the idea of "Taffy for Taylor" came up as a way of helping to raise funds for all the lovely medical bills starting to pile up on the Davis family's kitchen counter. Any one who knows Taylor, knows that he is spending time worrying about what this is "costing" his parents. (Bless his heart...and please note Jennifer's previous post about "who he is".)
In the coming months there will be other "events" we will notify everyone about such as a 5-K... but "Taffy for Taylor" will be happening next week! On Tuesday, March 1st, and Wednesday, March 2nd, we will be setting up a table just outside of the lunch room at HARVEST ELEMENTARY during the entire lunch period and will be selling the long skinny Laffy Taffy (2 for a $1) with all of the proceeds going directly to the family.

Jonah is REALLY excited! He will get to help, and I think this will make him feel like he can DO something too! (a BIG thanks to our principal for saying yes!!) Lets give the Davis family one less thing to worry about!!! We are so proud of you Taylor... your faith, your courage, your attitude... you make us all want to be better people! We love you Taylor!
