Sad news about little Garrett!

Garrett spent Christmas day in the hospital. Surgery the next day to drain fluid on brain to relieve pressure. Planned to use a shunt, but tumor has grown and he was sent home to be made comfortable, as the end is nearing.
I just found out today. I know Godd needs Angels and I know some are only on lone to use for a short time. I know he will run and Play and not be in pain but he will be missed here. I sit here crying and thinking of my grand children I lost. I think of all the pain Garretts family must be in.
I know so many of you have helped me with giving to him and making his Christmas nice. I am so sorry I can't give you all better news.

My little girl Andrea (8 ) has been devastated by the news of Garrett.  She had a special place in her heart for him, and wants to give up her own life so that he can live.  This is a letter that was sent to her by her step mother so she might understand better why Garrett is in the situation he is.  I'm posting it here in case it helps someone else as well.
 
Cat
 
 
Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the Surgeon come out of the operating
room. She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be O.K.? When can I see him?"
The Surgeon said, "I'm sorry, we did all we could." Sally said, Why do little children get cancer,
 doesn't GOD care any more? GOD, where were you when my son needed you?"
 
The Surgeon said, "One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes to
let you spend time with your son's remains before it's transported to
the university."
Sally asked that the nurse stay with her while she said good-bye to
her son. Sally ran her fingers through his thick red curly hair. The nurse
said, "Would you like a lock of his hair?" Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut
a lock of his hair and put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.
Sally said, "It was Jimmy's idea to give his body to the university
for study. He said 'it might help somebody else,' and that is what he
wanted.
I said, no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom I won't be using it after I
die, maybe it will help some other little boy to be able to spend one
more day with his mother.'" Sally said, "My Jimmy had a heart of Gold, always
thinking of someone else and always wanting to help others if he
could."
Sally walked out of the Children's Hospital for the last time now
after spending most of the last 6 months there. She sat the bag with
Jimmy's things in it on the seat beside of her in the car. The drive home
was hard and it was even harder to go into an empty house. She took the bag
to Jimmy's room and started placing the model cars and things back in
his room exactly where he always kept them. She lay down across his bed and
cried herself to sleep holding his pillow. Sally woke up about midnight
and lying beside her on the bed, was a letter folded up. She opened the
 letter, it  said:
 
Dear Mom,
I know you're going to miss me, but don't think that I will ever
 forget  you  or stop loving you because I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU.
 I'll think of you every day mom and I'll love you even more each day. Some day we
 will see each other again. If you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be
 so lonely, he can have my room and my old stuff to play with. If you  decide
 to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things as us  boys
 do,so you will have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like.
 Don't be sad when you think about me, this is really a great place.
    Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some,
but it will take a long time to see everything here.
 
 The angels are so friendly, and I love to watch them fly. Jesus doesn't
 look like any of the pictures I saw of Him, but I knew it was Him as
 soon as I saw Him. Jesus took me to see GOD! And guess what mom? I got to
 sit on GOD'S knee and talk to Him like I was somebody important. I told GOD
 that I wanted to write you a letter and tell you good-bye and everything,
but I knew that wasn't allowed. God handed me some paper and His own
personal pen to write you this letter with. I think Gabriel is the name of the
 angel that is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you
 the answer to one of the questions you asked Him about...Where was He
 when I needed him? God said, "The same place He was when Jesus was on the
cross.
 
 He was right there, as He always is with all His children.
 
 Oh, by the way Mom,! nobody else can see what is written on this
paper but you. To everyone else, it looks like a blank piece of paper. I have
to give God His pen back now; He has some more names to write in the Book of Life.
Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.
I almost forgot to let you know - Now I don't hurt anymore that the cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't! stand to see me suffer the pain either, so He sent The Angel of Mercy to get me. The Angel said I was Special Delivery!
 
 Signed with love from:
 God & Jesus & Me

Cat,  What a beautiful letter that was.  I hope it helped your daughter to feel a little bit better. As for myself, I need to buy some more tissues....
Praying for little Garrett that his suffering will end and for his family.  I couldnt even imagine such a tragedy.
