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.

The pain is settling in

Liliana (Willem's six year old sister) is suffering this evening.  Many tears.  She was looking at the yearbook that was in her back pack and when she came to Willem's class photo, she began crying.  She just now said that she's going to hold on to his blankie until she's very old.

Wyatt wants to visit the hospital.  When I asked him why, he said, "I want to see Willem's room."  He made himself cry... If you know Wyatt, you would know that this is somewhat of a milestone.

Many tears for all of us today.  So hard.  So painful.
