One Year Ago Today

[JK Knives]

It was on July 9, 2012 that Hanna was diagnosed will High Risk ALL Leukemia. It`s been a tough year, lots of ups and downs, but with friends, family, and prayers, it has made it somewhat bearable. Without sounding like a total baby, maybe someday I won`t start crying when I think about what our little girl is going through. I guess I need to toughen up, just like Hanna.

I can't imagine what your family must be going through. I bet with all of the doctor visits and testing, the year seems like an eternity. I think the worst part is that you feel helpless, and if you could you would switch places with her in a heartbeat. Stay strong

Your family is always in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry for what you and your daughter are going through sir. I hope she has a speedy recovery.

I wish that nobody, especially children, have to go through what Hanna and Evan have gone through. There's something to be learned from the spirit and fight these kids have inside them.

Plus, with what they have gone through, it makes my complaints seem petty and minor.

A tiny blessing, though, is that it has brought us a little closer as a knife family. The world can't be a bad place when you find yourself cheering and praying for people you have never met.

An anniversary I wish didn't have to be,

Go Hanna!

Crying doesn't make you not tough, hiding from your emotions does.

Prayers that next year's version of this post is about how she kicked this thing's butt!

She is one tough cookie. Nice to have such a great support system around her too. I wish the JK family all the best

Every day is a victory, every year is a triumph, every life is a blessing. Your family is doing very well under impossible circumstances. You set a high standard for the rest of us. Thank you.

Well put guys.
I wish there wasn't a reason for this anniversary,& children didn't have to go through this kind of thing,but I am glad for the way we've come together with all our support.
It has warmed my hart and made me a better person dealing and conversing with all the folks that have contributed their support this past year.
I am proud to be a part of this little community.


GO HANNA!!

I've got a feeling your a pretty tough guy already John! There are a lot of us out here rooting for Hanna, and keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers! May she kick this thing in the butt and have many more anniversaries ahead!
Seeing the pics of her with that beaming smile and glint in her eyes is truly inspirational:thumbup::thumbup:
Keep on truckin' John!
And Go Hanna!

What a bitter sweet anniversary. It sucks that a child so sweet an innocent would have to endure this pain and suffering. Yet it is also a good anniversary as she is beating it!

I will continue to send prayers smoke and good thoughts. She inspires me and that smile always brightens my day

 

[fishiker]

I know I will never be half as tough as Hanna. She is a very brave little girl surrounded by a wonderful family and together you will continue to thrive.

Hanna can teach us lot about being tough!

Having met her family in person, I can see why.

Go Hanna!

best

It's been an honor and a privilege to have been allowed to ride along on the journey this past year and I look forward to the triumphs ahead.
hardy a day goes by that Hannah and the rest of your clan are not in our thoughts here.

Every day is a victory, every year is a triumph, every life is a blessing. Your family is doing very well under impossible circumstances. You set a high standard for the rest of us. Thank you.

Thanks for putting my thoughts into such an eloquent statement.
John, you, your entire family and especially Hanna are in my prayers and thoughts every day. I can't believe it's been a year.

Well wishes sent for such a brave little girl.

I wish I had the words to describe that awful feeling of the day your child/ grandchild is told they have leukemia. I still lose my breath thinking of that night. Just a trip to the ER for an asthma attack two hours later, I'm sorry MR. Sandeno were afraid your son has cancer. I wish I had half the heart as Hanna or Evan! We have been blessed to get to know her as she always brings a smile to everyone's face in the day room! It's a shame we had to meet this way but a miracle the way god chooses to bring people together. The updates, the auctions the raffles you and the members here have done for Hanna and Evan are unreal! Can't wait until the day we all get to jump up and down celebrating the departure of cancer from these two little people and brag how they spit in cancers rotten face! Your an awesome grandpa for all the support you've given and don't feel bad for the tears as I have to hide on a regular basis to do the same.
