Cliffwood...here we come!

Thanks to all your prayers, Cassidy was so happy yesterday that she could rush back in time for the afternoon Bloorview concert where she was one of the singers in the choir. CaCa says it was the best concert ever and Mama Carmen was very touched by the many kids who sang together in the choir. Both Cassidy and Mommy felt that although we had to suffer together over Cassidy's cancer, but we are so blessed that we still can move around, use our voice to sing, and stretch our arms to hug our mommies when there are so many kids who can only move with the help of a machine or they use all their strength but still cannot utter a sound to sing. Mama Carmen says we should all treasure all the gifts and our life that God has blessed us with and use them to glorify God. And we should also learn to love and appreciate the hard works of these children with disabilities. It may be easy to love them and care for them now when they are small children, but soon enough they will be grown ups and they will have to face high schools, universities and the working world on their own but there are the places where people neglect them and look down on them. Cassidy is praying that all kids will now learn to love people with disabilities and so they will grow up to be buddies with big people also with disabilities. May God bless the hearts of those who have a willing heart to love and care for people with special needs.

Cassidy has almost finished all the Thank You Cards and Christmas Cards and some of her gifts and cards have been delivered last night. Cassidy sends big Thanks to the Wismer Church, the BTBC English Congregation and the BTBC Choir who showed her so much love, sent her so much gifts and cards, visited her and prayed ever faithfully for her all these time. Cassidy says she wishes to see everybody soon when she's all better and can come to church again.

As we told you before, Mama Carmen is getting busy with making cookies for the troops at Cliffwood to thank them for their love and support to Cassidy and their family in the last many months. And also thanks to many nice ladies who offered to help with this big mission. As of the time we go to bed last night, we have finally finished all the cookie batches and are putting them in nice boxes to bring to Cliffwood with the DVD we made to celebrate the progress of Cassidy's battle with cancer. So Cliffwood, hang in there, we'll see you in a bit!
