On January 20, 2011 our lives were forever changed.

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

This is his story.

OLD OR YOUNG

Cancer makes you look and feel old.  Bald with dry wrinkly skin.  A body that doesn't cooperate.  Tired. 

But then it makes you feel young.  Younger than you want to be.  Scared.  Having to look to others to take care of  you.

Taylor made the comment today that he was just like a baby.  I asked, "How so?"  His reply, "All I do is eat, sleep and poop.  Someone has to constantly take care of me.  Sheesh, I even drink out of a bottle.  (Water bottle)."
