CHARLIE

OK so I have been waiting to do this post. I am not sure why, I guess so I could get my emotions under control, and so I would know what to say. Neither of which I have done yet.
My sister-in-law told me this story of her cousins little boy . It is really a heart wrenching, sad, horrible situation, but at the same time a really amazing, uplifting, spiritual, story that has really taught me what a precious gift life really is! Not that I needed or wanted a reminder, after seeing Jeremy and Amanda, and their sweet little Payton.
Charlie is a 9 month old little boy who got meningitis. He got his immunizations for it, but got it anyway. This little boy has been the rounds with this sickness. From seizures to what they call storming, but is still fighting. His parents whom I have never met, are amazing. I'm sure they have their moments, but they are strong, faithful people, who throughout it all haven't lost their sense of humor. Most of the time I read their blog laughing and crying at the same time!
Honestly this has affected me in ways I cant even describe. The out pour of love and support they have received from people, perfect strangers is absolutely unheard of. In the 3 or so weeks that they have been there, this blog has had over 24,000 hits. People from all over the United States are watching and cheering for this family, and especially this little boy Charlie.
So if you have 20 or so minutes check out his blog, charliecooperjackjack.blogspot.com (Its at the top of my list) but start at the beginning, it will be worth your time. If you don't have time to read it, maybe you could include him in your prayers!
