Willem -- only days before he was stricken with HLH -- leisurely walking, straw in mouth, not a care in the world. A healthy 9 year old boy.

Sorrow

Dread.  Unimaginable dread.

We are losing our son.  Our son is dying.

  1. Hang in there. I've got at least 50 people praying for Willem and you his family tonight! Hang on. God is going to do great things! This must be terrible - that's why I emailed everyone I know. We are on our knees - PRAYING! We know God can do this! Please keep updating as you are able. I told everyone to check the blog for updates to know what to pray for and told them especially to pray for you and Erin. You've been so strong now it's okay to lean on the Lord. He can hold you up!

  2. We are praying for all of you right now, especially Willem, we are thinking about you guys non stop. I've asked our friends and my mom's bible study to pray for him as well.

  6. Much love for my fellow soldier and friend, and his family. We've got your back Rado...I just wish we could all put Willem's enemy in our sights, exhale, and squeeze the trigger.

  7. Thomas, My heart and prayers are to you and your family, they say when a wife loses a husband se is a widow, and when a husband loses a wife they call him a widower, I hope and pray everyday that you do not lose your son as there is no way to discribe or call the parents who lose a child, that is because it is un-natural for this to happen. I love you Cuz, always have always will,we have special times and will hold those dearly, you need me a blink of an eye I will be there for you nd your family.
