Please keep Chance in your thoughts and prayers (1 Viewer)

Sorry to hear your latest update. Hope Chance finds comfort from everyone in his life. Still hope for a miracle.

 
I've checked into this thread probably a few dozen times but never posted because I couldn't come up with the right words to say. I still can't.

So, so sorry to hear. You and your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

 
BB, I know it's got to be difficult to share stuff like this, but honestly I think all of us can use a perspective-check sometime. All of the stupid, petty little problems that I have to deal with at work are just so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I'm sure other people are thinking the same way.

The other positive aspect to come out of this (not that anything could truly be positive) is all the unity and support this forum has shown. So many different people who have posted in this thread, with all different kinds of viewpoints and opposing opinions- none of that matters. When something like this which is truly important occurs, we are all of the same mind. One reason I've come to love the FFA is because I think most people here are decent and good. This thread has demonstrated that.

 
Oh my god, I can't stop crying. I've never even met BB or Chance, but I feel worse now than I have in a long time. I'm so sorry, BB, that you have to go through this. I'm still praying for a miracle.

We spent the morning at the hospital today and learned that because Chance's condition has deteriorated, there are no remaining treatment options. We are currently making arrangements for hospice care. We have family here in town and flying in from the west coast, so Chance will be surrounded by loved ones. Thank you all for your kind words of support.

I'm so sorry, bb.

 
Was just sent this thread and now am standing in my kitchen with tears in my eyes

BB stay strong for Chance and your family, unload anything you need on us

 
I'm sorry, BB. May Chance, you, and your family be surrounded by peace, comfort, and love. Let us be your strength whenever you need it...T&P.

 
BB- I'm so sorry. You'll all be in my thoughts & prayers...

 
So sorry BB....thanks for being so generous to share, put a whole lot of everyday nonsense in perspective for us all. i know i've been more patient w my kids since reading this last week. Wishing you, Chance, your family and all who know and love him comfort and peace.

 
There is absolutely nothing I can say to make an ounce of difference in your life, or the life of your son, Chance. Any attempt to say anything meaningful just seems so impotent and pointless.

I have hit the delete button several times and tried to conjure up something, anything...that would make things better.

We go back to Ol' Yeller, I believe and though we have never really been close on these boards or agreed on everything, We and others have shared a decade or more on these boards and it is pretty damn hard not to get attached or feel connected to people -- even if you have never met or even know their name in real life.

As one man to another and one father to another -- I wish you the best on this unimaginably difficult journey. I am grateful that you have been able to enjoy these 13 years together and that he has reached an age/maturity level where you guys can have an opportunity to discuss his hopes and dreams. You can have conversations about things that will help bring about some sense of closure.

I am not going to tell you to hang tough, don't give up or what not. Because, frankly, I am not sure I would be strong enough to continue living were I in your shoes. But, If I could offer up anything of value, I would encourage you to discuss with your son things or something you can do to honor his life in some meaningful way. If you have any desire to live after your son passes, maybe you will find strength, comfort and peace in knowing that you are living in a manner that allows the beauty and spirit of your son to live on through you.

I will be thinking of you and your family.

BB, my thoughts go out to you and Chance and the rest of your family. Just know that Chance has touched a lot of people's hearts, including all of ours. Those of us that are parents can't help but hug our kids a little harder, and that is a good thing.

 
I've been reluctant to post in this thread as there are a few of us who started back on ol yeller and have kids about the same age.

I know BB was one, Yankee23fan and myself all have boys around the same age, as I'm sure many others in this thread do.

Nobody deserves something like this, but especially someone who has been as compassionate, intelligent, entertaining and informative as BB has on his time on the board.

I don't want to imagine what BB and his family and friends are going through as it breaks my heart.

BB you have as much respect as I can muster and wishing you and yours comfort, support and love over the trying times ahead.

 
I'm sure it's in here somewhere, I can't find it, but how old is Chance? Anybody can just chime in and answer, thanks.

 
Some religions have it that children choose their parents.

If that is true, Chance couldn't possibly have made a better choice.

He is incredibly blessed to be surrounded by the love and support that transcends the words you are using to describe this ordeal and can be tangibly and palpably felt through the screen I am looking at this through.

Your family is also obviously blessed by the presence of a child like Chance that could evoke such an outpouring of love and understanding.

In our thoughts and prayers, BB, Chance and your family.

There's also a saying that God doesn't give you what you can't handle.
