Just feeling quite happy about a milestone our family reached yesterday! Please check my blog for details!

I have to admit I'm proud of my eldest son! ;D

Ceejay you should be proud of your son and of yourself- being the parent of a child with a serious illness is one of the worst things we can go through.
Congratulations on reaching such a wonderful milestone.
-
CeeJay. Thankyou for sharing this part of your life.
It is good to hear such heartfelt, open love and pride in your son and the difficult path you have been travelling.
10 years is such a long time. Congratulations on reaching this milestone.
I wish you a wonderful and joyeous Christmas break with your family.

Ceejay, you know how much admiration I have for you as a parent and a person and if this 10 year anniversary means your DS is out of the woods then that is the best outcome possible for your whole family. Your wisdom, tolerance and compassion for people is unbelievable and your blog sums up the type of person you are and how you and the rest of the family have handled this situation. Your house is so full of love and love gets people through all sorts of trials and tribulations in life. Well done to you all and a special hug to you and DS. :-* :-*

CeeJay, how beautifully spoken if only everyone had your compassion.
Celebrate this huge milestone and enjoy everyday.
love and hugs to you all x

wow ceejay i had no idea but loved everything you wrote and your friends comment on the bottom bought a tear to my eye...I try to live by most of that everyday even though sometimes I fail after all we are only human however I am happy to see that even with the ups and downs you are still a lovely person and the outcome or ongoing journey is still a postive one overall...thanks for sharing your story and just need to add...I believe that hardship and pain enrich your life and who you are even though we would prefer to be without it...in the end makes you a much more empathatic, kind and loving person than you probably would have been.. hugs to you and your family xx

Ceejay, I wish I had the right words to say, but they fail me in the face of one such as you. I simply cannot think of anything more to say.
-
Lovely to hear that all is so well & you are such a strong family.
I dont think we as people realise how blessed we are each day that we are healthy and most importantly our children are.

thanks for sharing ceejay, your story touched me deep. i admit to shedding a tear or two as i was reading. congratulations on reaching this milestone.
-
Ceejay what you have written on your blog is beautiful and ever so true. You must be ever so proud of your son and he of you.
-
What beautiful words Ceejay and like the others I shed a tear whilst reading it.Your home is certainly full of love. :)
-
Oh Ceejay you have made me cry. I really don't know what to say and like others I had no idea. So happy to share this special milestone with you. Enjoy.
-
Thankyou Ceejay. What a beautiful piece, and such a tough journey. I have just passed it on to a friend who is going through a different, but very rough, journey at the moment. I hope she will find comfort in your writing. Thanks.
-
Oh my! Thanks everyone! It wasn't my intention to make anyone cry, honest! :-[ I have been so emotional the past few days but there has to be positives in everything! :-*
JD, DS has been in remission for six years now and is one of the few (or perhaps the only) children to have ever been given this stage. Unfortunately he has a rare genetic syndrome which is known to cause this and even rarer, cancers. Normally there is only one gene default but DS thought he'd have two to complicate matters! :-\
So in effect, he will never be "out of the woods" but this is our bonus time! For a child who was given a 0% chance of survival passed 3 years, he's certainly doing a lot of living! ;)
Thank you all for sharing at least some of our journey with us! 8)
