Cancer is a scary thing......but don't be scared of me!

Hello Readers!

How many of you know what cancer is?  Perhaps someone in your family has been very sick with cancer or may have even died because their cancer was very bad?  It's not a very good thing to have and it's even worse when one of your little friends has it.

My little boy has been battling cancer for two years.  His type of cancer is called Leukemia and this type is blood cancer.  Oh he is one of the mightiest and bravest warriors I know because he has fought so long and so hard to beat it.

We have not been able to get rid of the cancer all the way but he keeps getting medicine to keep it from getting worse.  Hopefully one day there will be a new medicine he can have that will get rid of it once and for all.

The reason I'm telling you this is because if you do have a friend with cancer, don't be afraid of them. I know it can be very scary to see them if they are hooked up to tubes for medicine, some have a tube in their nose that goes into their belly for medicine or food and most have no hair.  These are very normal things with cancer but there is one thing for sure that is not different......they are still the same friend!  Now more than ever they need you to be their friend because they won't be able to play like they used to and may spend a lot of time in the hospital.  Visiting them while they are in the hospital is a very good thing and will make them so happy to have someone to play with.  It can get very very lonely in a hospital room every day. 

My little boy would get so very sad when he had no one to play with so he would get excited each time one of his friends came.  He is such a celebrity at school and in our town that he now has even more friends than he did before he got sick!

No matter what you go through or what your friends go through always remember one thing:  They are still the same friend you have always  had so treat them that way.  The tubes, the bald head, the bandages or anything else they may need to get better aren't scary things, they are things that will help them get better so you shouldn't feel weird, or scared to be around them.

Always remember that you are friends because of the kind of person they are and being sick doesn't make them different. Be a really good friend because being sick makes you sad but seeing your friends makes you feel so much better!

As always, Happy Reading!


Love,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hello Readers!

It's been a while since I posted last and so many things have happened I just dont know where to start!

Remember I told you about my little grandson that was helping me write my next story? Well he got very, very sick in August and has been in the hospital. I am kind of like his mom since he came to live with me as a baby, so I stay at the hospital with him.

He was able to come home for a week so we went to a wonderful event called a "Pumpkin Festival" and Axel was able to see all kinds of neat things. Go to a little Halloween party, get some candy and March in parade. He even got a picture with Spiderman and some Power Rangers!

With Halloween right around the corner,  it's important to remember to make sure that while you have fun trick or treating,  you need to remember to stay safe! Axel and I use glow sticks so that the cars can see us at night and we always walk on the sidewalk. Be sure to stay with a grownup and remember to never agree to go trick or treating with someone you don't know. Always keep in mind the rules about stranger danger!
Letting grownups check your candy before you eat it is a safe idea too!

I'd love to see some of your costumes this year since we can't trick or treat.  Ask a grownup to take a picture of you and then go to my Facebook page and post your picture!!  I'll be checking every day to see all the wonderful costumes and I'll try to guess them so dont tell me who you are!

Have fun taking pictures,  have a safe and happy Halloween and as always,  Happy Reading!

Love,

Mrs. Fizzywiggle

On a magical isle in the midst of my dreams

Lives a magical creature of sorts,

One who can swing by his tail through the trees

As  he huffs and he puffs and he snorts.

He hops over rocks, jumps high in the air

Splashes and plays in the rain,

No matter what journey he happens upon

It turns into a wonderful game!

Hello Readers!

Did you like what you read?  That's what I'm working on next.  I'll give you a little hint - His name is Kaboo and he goes on the most wonderful adventures with his little friend Alex!

I have a little grandson who is helping me write my next story.  Each night before we go to bed, I tell him a story about an adventure with Kaboo and Alex.  Sometimes he tells me about an adventure that he would like to have and sometimes I tell him the adventure.  By the time we are done we have told a wonderful story!

Using your imagination is a most wonderful thing.  Anything can happen!  That's exactly what my grandson and I are doing, we are using our imaginations to tell a story to each other and each night Alex and Kaboo go on a different adventure or sometimes they continue on the same adventure as the night before.

Do you like to use your imagine to tell stories, draw or play a game with your friends?  Do you go on adventures?   I'd love to hear about some of your adventures!  Click on the "Write to me!" button and have a grownup help you tell me your story!  Be sure to tell me your name so that Kaboo can go on an adventure with you!

I can't wait to hear from each and every one of you.  Until then,

Happy Reading!

Love,

Mrs. Fizzywiggle
