This past week my family had received some unfortunate news about one of family members–some may know if you are on my Facebook but if not–my cousin’s child was diagnosed with B-All Leukemia. It was literally hard for me to even give my cousin a call all week because I needed to be strong and positive for them. Usually positive is my thing–I try to breath positive words daily but in my head I just couldn’t fathom why this was happening to them. This family has been through so much that I couldn’t muster up a call to give them the strength they needed without breaking down and crying. But as soon as I called my cousin Chad, he made me realize that if you stay positive Ike will get through this. He is so right. In the mist of all of this he never brought up why is this happening, he was grateful that they have a curable cancer and they will get through this. B-ALL Leukemia is the most common pediatric Leukemia with an incredibly high cure rate and they get to leave the hospital. This will be a long 3 year treatment journey for Ike, but he is incredibly strong, resilient and will fight this with all he has. They are living today and praying for tomorrow!
He will need all of the support and love everyone can give to give him the strength and fight this with all his might!
Tough Like IKE!!

Since it’s Tune in Tuesday–I felt that this song is perfect for feeling empowered, stronger, better and being grateful for being alive. A little Chipmunk style… I hope you like it Ike!
