A couple days ago I found out some very sad news from people we have never met, yet I feel a part of. The Tanner Family, Mom Kristen, Dad Andrew, Brother Carson and Beautiful Baby Natalie, have been at St. Jude's for the past 4 months, fighting for Natalie's life. At 3 months old, a brain tumor was discovered on Natalie, and hence the battle began. It's been a long journey since this discovery, and one that is ending on a hard note for all that have been following. Natalie is going back home now, the tumor has grown and the chemo didn't work. I can't begin to explain the surge of emotions that I feel for this family and everything they are going through. At this point they need the prayers of as many people as possible to embrace them during this time.
If you'd like to see pictures or read more of their story, you can visit the care page that has been created at, http://www.carepages.com/ServeCarePage, enter Natalie Tanner for the care page name.
We found out about the Tanner's because Alicia works with Natalie's Aunt at Children's Hospital. We have been involved in fundraising events and words of support. Their situation really makes you realize how precious life really is. This little baby is so beautiful, I can't imagine what it must feel like knowing her mommy is going to have to say goodbye so soon. Trust me, you will need a Kleenex or two, Kristen has a way of putting things so that you really feel what she is saying. Keep them in your thoughts, they need the positive attitudes and energy coming their way. You can also leave them messages. They may not know you, but the beauty is, they are sharing something very personal and in turn are looking for a personal message of encouragement from anyone. It really gets them through the day.
