When I tell him that is correct, he puts on this big smile and repeats reading the sentence with a big, assertive voice. When I see that smile, I always felt like jumping up from my seat and kiss him. I guess I have to raise my hand as another one who had her heart stolen. But it is ok, Max, to let your demons out during the treatment and stop being the cheerful Max we know for a while. You got the strongest parents who can hold you along with that demon, who understands what you have to endure......ShihoSan Diego Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110203495376659850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9911796.post-23275609003116500032008-05-05T18:20:00.000-07:002008-05-05T18:20:00.000-07:00Hey Max---we always we knew you were smart and we ...Hey Max---we always we knew you were smart and we are so proud of you for doing such a good job in school especially when you have to go to clinic and the hospital so often. How was your ambulance ride today? Is it as fun as the fire engine you got to drive last year? When I got home from work today our cousin Char and her husband Al sent you a package all the way from Florida!! I will drop it off for you tomorrow.<BR/>Will you tell your Dad, Mom, Hannah and Nicky we are proud of them for all the special things they do for you!!<BR/>Always in my prayers!!

I feel when he is a 'baby' about certain things it's because they are easy..no reason to be brave and have a stiff upper lip..BUT when things are hard, and there have been plenty of times ,that is when Max steps up to the plate and shines with courage and being brave and strong!He is an angel..looking into his eyes melts my heart..he has me wrapped around his finger without even trying. What an honor to know him...you as parents have done a marvelous job of raising this incredible little guy. I pray his pain stays under control and that his friends will soon see his smiling face back in class. I also think he has an exceptional teacher that has challenged him and understood his needs..BUT then I am biased..Sending prayers...hugs..and tail wags from Libby. xo LinnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9911796.post-31186899351937930592008-05-05T06:33:00.000-07:002008-05-05T06:33:00.000-07:00The only trouble I've gotten in from posting Max's...The only trouble I've gotten in from posting Max's report card remarks is at home! Daniel wasn't too keen on the statement about Max "stealing my heart." Daniel thought he himself had done that 20+ years ago! :) Truth be told (although Daniel probably wouldn't admit it) Max has stolen Daniel's heart, too, or at least a pretty big chunk. I am pleased to hear the pain is under control but sorry to hear about the emotional toll. I can't even begin to imagine how hard that is for you. Lots of prayers that his warm, loving, sunny personality will soon break thru. xolisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9911796.post-75588737629485855862008-05-05T06:02:00.000-07:002008-05-05T06:02:00.000-07:00I also wanted to add that I am a teacher, and it i...I also wanted to add that I am a teacher, and it is AMAZING the progress Max has made, especially given the number of days he has missed and due to the fact that he carries around the burden of cancer with him on a day to day basis. I am in such awe of him...he has left an indelible mark on my heart.<BR/><BR/>RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9911796.post-8583159250496267272008-05-05T04:39:00.000-07:002008-05-05T04:39:00.000-07:00Max has touched more lives than most of us ever co...Max has touched more lives than most of us ever could-even if we lived to be 105!<BR/><BR/>He is such a brave and noble little spirit, always reminding those who follow his story to take nothing for granted-like walking and pee standing up!<BR/><BR/>He is the wonderful human being that he is because of the guidance of the parents he has.

It has always been very heartwarming to me to watch how gentle and loving Max is toward other kids, especially the younger ones!! A sweet boy no doubt and from what I read quite the scholar as well.
