THOUGHTS & PRAYERS FOR GUNNER TODAY!
Good Morning:-
Would you please keep my dear friend 8 year-old Gunner Gillespie in your thoughts, prayers and meditations today? This is a sweet little boy I have blogged about from May through August. He has DIPG (a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) which is a non-operable tumor on his brain stem. For more than 3 months, Gunner and his wonderful family, Janna and Gus (his Mom and Dad) along with younger sister Garlynn, age 5 resided up the street from me here in Scottsdale while Gunner received cancer treatment. They have added so much Joy to my own life and I know many of you have been following Gunner's updates over on my Blogroll.

Please send Gunner a message for Janna to read to him. Gunner's story has reached and inspired so many. His favorite movie is The Polar Express and he absolutely loves Trains! Gunner also enjoys the cable TV series "Icebreakers"--about the men who drive 18-wheeled trucks over frozen rivers in The Arctic to deliver fuel and supplies to others. He has a wonderful sense of humor (believe me when I tell you this--he is funny) and Gunner loves making new friends! Your thoughtful, and positive note to this young man will means a lot to him. As previously reported here, a British Airways Flight Crew continues to keep up with The G-Man! Let's reach out and do so as well. He is wonderful friend of mine whose friendship I heartily recommend to anyone of Love and Goodwill !

that's a great picture of gunner. he's lucky to have such love surrounding him.
prayers and best wishes.
will do michael. As a father of an 8 year old and being fairly close to Sahara's story I can only count my blessings and send them to others. Some day these childhood diseases will be eradicated one by one. Its just a matter of time.
I keep him and Trever in my thoughts.
As parents its hard not to.
i will time to race until i can kiss his forehead, and then i want time to stop.
this little boy has accomplished in 8 years, what most never get to.
he has changed the world.
his corner of the world, MY corner, your corner, many corners.
im on the hunt for DOG!!
4 more sleeps
Seraphine: As you can see in this wonderful photo, Gunner is a wonderful little boy who has a tremendous sense of Humor and Goodwill for everybody. he has many goals and he works very, very hard to achieve them. He possesses so much incredible Curiosity about Life, about People, about his Hobbies and about making sure others are doing well. To know him is to Love him! :)
dj davy b: Shannon and Amy are such Wonderful people and they did a beautiful job helping to shape the sweet and awesome person that Sahara was. I have a custom-framing of that special evening where Rick Springfield performed "A Concert for Sahara". Because, as you know, this was so much more than a mere concert. This was an opportunity for so many of us who came to know Sahara's sweet and generous example of how to live our lives fully to come together and give her our sincere Supportiveness--a word I borrow from my Pastor, B.J. of 22 years. I hope that "someday" arrives very, very soon. I hurt for our collective loss. But I celebrate the many lessons Sahara taught each of us who were so blessed to have spent one magical evening with our Angel! Thank you, brother!
Walker: My brother, all I can say to you tonight is this: Gus and Janna and Melinda and Todd need our collective thoughts and prayers to be strong, to be guided as they are doing and to know of our strong Love and Supportiveness for anything they need from us. We are here. You have a bold heart, Walker! Thank you for prayers for my special friends whom I love dearly!!!!:)
Dari: YOU SO ROCK! Yes, wouldn't it be cool if Duane "Dog" Chapman could stop by and pay Gunner a visit? I know Dog would be Honored to meet Gunner, and I;m absolutely thrilled beyond words that you too will have an opportunity to enjoy Gunner as I did. He is Special!!!;)
I'm so sorry I was out of blog-touch yesterday. I hope dear Gunner did okay!
Patti: A personal hello to Gunner at his website on my Blogroll coming from someone as Cool as The Monogram Queen would be so appreciated! lol!!!:)
