| It rained as predicted, early morn. |
The tears from Heaven's morn.
A stream of thought reminds me,
Today we walk for our first born.
 |
| Timmy, age 15 ( in relapse this pic.) |
 |
| Tim with Corey; he is very swollen from kidney disease here. |
 |
| Tim in a happier time with his beloved truck. |
My life mimics the weather,
 |
| Well, I needed a rhyme here, and it's true! |
Savor the smells of nourishment,
Sweet bacon on grill to sizzle.
 |
| Eric |
A new neighbor, a kid 'round the corner;
To hang with the Brother, new friend.
 |
| I wouldn't put your food here if I were you... |
And others, the day we will spend.
 |
| Ted, Chris Hardwick, (Ted's BFF from High school) and James...Tim and Corey's BFF. |
 |
| Loma Linda Med. Center as seen from the freeway. |
Road travels light as we pass
The place where miracles are born.
A community of caring and sharing;
On the radio, a song of a storm.
 |
| Tim's FSGS was diagnosed here. |
 |
| "Jesus, Bring the Rain" Mercy Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8HgAVenbUU |
The rain now is gone, puddles...purpose.
"If that's what it takes to praise you..."
It's your Grace that's been showered on us.
 |
| Dr. Sahney, Tim's Pediatric Nephrologist, Loma Linda. |
The Doc who took care of my child.
Bittersweet, the story I'm sharing,
Told with a tear and a smile.
Showing up on a path that we stride,
A golf ball, hidden in the sand.
Telling me son, you're near, with approval,
Proud of all we have planned.
So, this gift is a cause for us all,
To be charitable and help find a cure.
For kidneys help us clean-up,
The things that leave us impure.
 |
| Hazel Treviso, received a transplant 5 years ago! |
 |
| Vicky Ford and family, her youngest with FSGS |
 |
| Melanie Hunter and family |
In triumph and victory we finish,
To relax and to share our same plight.
New families with small ones and worries,
 |
| Jessica, James, Chris, Ted, Eric, Coleene and Corey. |
