Sweet little Bry Bry


Been thinking about my little brother a lot lately.. Once when we were little I asked if he would let me cut his hair if I beat him in an arm wrestle.. he agreed and I beat him (I was 16 and he was 9).. His hair was SO bad he had to shave it... that was last time he let me cut his hair or beat him at an arm wrestle!

Bryan has cancer, and just started his chemo this week (hence the haircut memory). He is one strong guy and I know he will overcome this! He is brave and is always ready to take on challenges in life.. he is facing this one with lots of courage!

Love ya bud!!

Thanks you guys! He had a cancerous tumor removed, but it turns out there was more cancer in his body. Not being able to see the source in cat scan they decided that chemo was the best option. We have high hopes that the chemo will kill whatever cancer is there. He really is being a strong person and having some fun with the hard times. He just made a face book page for his hair... after posting that they are going their separate ways. We are grateful for all the prayers and support. I will keep you posted.

Mel, my prayers are with your family! Sorry to hear about your brother. My mother in law just went through chemo and radiation last year for breast cancer.
