| Megan's Angel Wings sent out 26 Care Packages to children with cancer in our local community. |
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you
for the beautiful box of gifts we
received yesterday. Bianca just had chemo on
Monday and was not feeling
very good. However, she was so surprised
when she saw the box of goodies it
really cheered her up.
I’m so impressed with what you have
accomplished with your organization.
Also, the work you did in Dr. D’s office is
fabulous.
Again, thank you for thinking of us and we
look forward to meeting you soon.
Warm regards,
Bianca and Yreen

| *Notes From My Heart* |
Monday, December 26, 2005
| My doctor's Christmas party was December 10th and it was a great opportunity to see old friends and meet new ones. It was a great time to relax and enjoy yourself, not worrying about upcoming treatments and surgeries. I saw people who I hadn’t seen in a while. However, there were so many new patients, all going through what I went through only just a year ago. It was supposed to be a place where new and old patients relaxed and enjoyed time out of the hospital; however the looks on the newly diagnosed patients’ faces showed otherwise. Their faces showed pain and suffering,all going through what I went through only just a year ago. They weren’t feeling good, and you could tell. They felt what I felt when I was first diagnosed- frightened, sick, in pain, hurting, tired, stressed, suffering, suffering, suffering. I only wished I could have done something to help wipe off the worried expressions on their faces. It brought me to tears thinking they were right in front of me suffering as much, or maybe even more, as I did, and there was nothing I could do. However, thinking back I never realized I really was helping them out. By starting something I truly believe in, this organization, I was helping wipe those sad-looking faces off the young, newly-diagnosed patients. I was and am making a difference. Those children may be stuck in the hospital but the Fun Centers are removing those worried looks. The children may be stuck in the hospital, but their parents will not go hungry because of our meal cards. The children may be in the hospital, but their birthdays and holidays will be filled with laughter and happiness, along with presents and a catered dinner. You see, at moments when I feel I can do nothing to help, I realize I have this organization to fall back on. It helps me realize that with an organization like Megan’s Angel Wings, I can truly reach a new level and experience the joy of helping others going through problems I went through. However I could not have beaten cancer and started a not-for-profit organization without the support of my family, and that support was shown even greater during this Christmas time. The 87th Annual Brown Family Christmas Reunion, Brown and Brown Architects and their wonderful staff, Lemartec Engineering and Construction Corp. and their wonderful staff, and Garcia-Tunon & Associates showed me what can really happen when everybody works together to help support a family member and their cause. They may think I was the strong one for beating cancer, however, the truth is, without them I could have never done it. Every day when I was in the hospital there was always a family member there to entertain me. I can even remember a time when my cousins were over and I was given medicine to put me to sleep because of pain and Vero & Olivia still stayed watching TV even though I was completely asleep. Nurses used to always joke around about how there always seemed to be a party in my room because it was always completely filled. I feel so grateful and so proud to think they are my family. I would not ask for any other family because without them, I could not be doing what I am doing today. Thank You to all and I will always love you. |
| Sunday, September 25, 2005 In loving memory of Jad Seblani- 1983-2005 Today was such a hard day for me. I just came from Miami from my good friend's memorial service. He died of cancer. He would have been 22 today. He had asked to be buried in Lebanon, where he is from, right next to his grandfather. So, there was no proper funeral here. Jad: I miss your smiling face, your thoughtful heart, and never ending love. You were like a big brother to me. I'll never forget you. I'll never forget all the laughs we shared. You brought a smile to my face every time I saw you, however you are not with us anymore. You have suffered so much, having been fighting cancer for 2 and a half years, before it finally took your life. I know you're in a better place now, without suffering, however I only wish you could still be here with us today. It's so hard to say good bye. You can never imagine how many people you have touched. The memorial service was amazing. The love could be felt throughout the entire room. Your father hugged me and said "and you, he loved so much." Your younger brother, Ronnie, looks identical to you. Even though I only met him a couple of times, he came right up to me and gave me a huge hug. I hugged your sister, Maggie, and your mother as they cried on my shoulder. A picture of you and I was shown in the slide show. It was a picture from the last Christmas party when you were feeling better. I'll never forget when your father came up to me and told me how you kept the rosary I gave you right next to your bed and that you constantly talked about me. Now your father carries that rosary in his wallet. You are a shining example to all of us. I will always remember your smile, hugs, love of people, your positive attitude and way of making everyone around you feel special. Your last words to your family were "We'll fight this" and "Be strong...I love you." How much I have cried. You will live in our hearts and minds forever. I love you |
