Aaron Bell is an 8th grade student, a classmate of my children, the son of our teacher/librarian and dear friend Kristie. Aaron is also a cancer survivor. He is a champion among fighters. He recovered from his brain surgery (having to start anew, learning to even walk again), he made the high school golf team and is also on the traps shooting team, he is an honor student and he is a GREAT kid! Truthfully, one of the best you will ever have the privilege of meeting. And this past week he found out his cancer is back. What words can describe such a blow?
If you would like to read about Aaron you can do so here at his Caring Bridge site. And please leave him a comment, a note, a short "we are praying for you" message.
I have said before (and it will likely always be true) that my tears seem to be attached to music. Kristie, Aaron's mom, suggested her readers listen to a song. It will make you cry while it gives you hope. Why? Because the words, the thought, the understanding belongs to God. The Impossible Dream Isn't Impossible....keep the faith!
Thank you for posting the link to Aaron's Caringbridge site. I am sorry that he is dealing with cancer. Cancer is not fair. It is ugly. It is awful. I will be praying.

So true, Amanda! I'll be praying for Aaron. How thankful we can be that we serve a sovereign God who meant what he said, "All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose." -- even when we can't understand.
