This is a story about my seven year old son Matthew and his journey and struggles with having cancer. It also will have reflections from Matthew's Father John, Mother Kat, and twelve year old sister Kyra. On August 14th 2009 at about 11 p.m. Matthew was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and all of our lives were changed forever. Hopefully one day when Matthew grows up he can read this, and also maybe someone who is newly diagnosed can read this blog and find comfort.
