Welcome HOME! You have a remarkable son; how sweet of his prayer before his journey back home. I wanted to share this popular poem with you for as I feel Brayden was being carried by God's love. Love, Tiffany<br /><br />Footsteps In The Sand<br /><br /><br />One night a man had a dream.<br />He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.<br />Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.<br />For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:<br />one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.<br /><br /><br /><br />When the last scene of his life flashed before him<br />he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.<br />He noticed that many times along the path of his life<br />there was only one set of footprints.<br />He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.<br /><br /><br /><br />This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:<br />"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,<br />you'd walk with me all the way.<br />But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life<br />there is only one set of footprints.<br />I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."<br /><br /><br /><br />The LORD replied:<br />"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you,<br />During your times of trial and suffering,<br />when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."<br /><br /><br /><br />Author unknownTiffmchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085848329912571202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680298387553212544.post-74389891383535842392009-05-01T14:35:00.000-05:002009-05-01T14:35:00.000-05:00I'm so happy to hear you are all back home now!

And, we rejoice over the wonderful reports from your doctor - God is in control and He is answering all of our prayers for you!! Don't worry about your hair loss - "bald is beautiful!" - just look at Mr. Welshenbaugh!! It will grow back, but in the meantime, you will be just as handsome as ever! People will see your gorgeous eyes and bright smile and not even notice your head! This could also be a great time to begin a fun hat collection! We are continuing to pray for you constantly ("Pray without ceasing") and we look forward to reading about more answered prayers!<br />We LOVE you!<br />Mrs. Welshenbaugh & FamilyJan Welshenbaughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680298387553212544.post-35305058947798290592009-04-30T21:49:00.000-05:002009-04-30T21:49:00.000-05:00Yee-Haw!

God has certainly blessed you with two great parents and lots of great family and friends who love and care for you lots. He has also given you miracles that you can look back on and see just what an amazing God we serve. I was blessed to hear about your prayer on the way home. It was neat to hear you pray for our government, just like we've done at school.<br /> And speaking of school, I've got lots of wonderful work coming your way.LOL Mom will make a great teacher.<br /> Our class never lets a day go by that we don't pray for you and someone doesn't say something about what Brayden would have done if he was here. We can't wait to see how God is going to continue your healing. Stay strong and keep the bright smile we all know and recognize.<br />Love and prayers,<br />Mrs. McCallMary McCallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680298387553212544.post-70358493795903377232009-04-30T19:07:00.000-05:002009-04-30T19:07:00.000-05:00You're finally home that rocks!You're finally home that rocks!lilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680298387553212544.post-10075183357980769642009-04-30T18:39:00.000-05:002009-04-30T18:39:00.000-05:00You're finally home!!!

My name is Debbie and my son...Braden & family,<br /><br />My name is Debbie and my son was diagnosed with ALL in September of last year, he is much younger than you but we have been through a similiar journey. I saw where your Nana signed in to another site that I follow - Trevor Evans. I felt compelled to sneak a peek at your page.<br /><br />First let me tell you that I am so thankful you are doing well. ACH is such a blessing, the staff is awesome. You must have a lot of courage to fight this nasty disease. I keep telling myself that Adam (my son) will never fight a more important battle - after this everything else is easy in comparison!<br /><br />Just so you know, I think a bald head is beautiful. Your hair will come back - Adam's is even a different color than before. We love ball caps at my house, and that helps when you get to go out.<br /><br />I have a lot of information that I can share with your parents should they want to talk to someone who has been there. Tell them to email me if they ever need anything!<br /><br />Take care! You and your family are in our prayers.<br /><br />Much Love,<br />Debbie Lewis<br /><br />www.caringbridge.com/visit/adamlewis<br />debbie.lewis@acxiom.comDebbie Lewishttp://www.caringbridge.com/visit/adamlewisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680298387553212544.post-7744648479108498232009-04-30T11:22:00.000-05:002009-04-30T11:22:00.000-05:00Oh, I'm so glad ya'll got to come home &am...Oh, I'm so glad ya'll got to come home & Brayden is responding well to his meds.
