I am so excited to share this particular fence with you today!!
Do any of you recognize it?
This is the "Healing Garden" at Children's Hospital in Dallas, Texas........
It is truly a beautiful place and it offers amazing Peace as you listen to the water passing over the rocks at the garden river.
This young man, is the reason that I have walked this garden......week after week.....for about three and a half years!
Tucker is our second grandson and at the age of 8, he was diagnosed with T-cell Leukemia. We honestly spent an enormous amount of time at the hospital and the clinics.
Here is Tucker's "Beads of Courage" necklace......
The hospital did not start the program of beads until Tucker's third year of treatment. Each bead represents some type of treatment that these kids go through, whether it's a blood transfusion, surgery, spinal tap, chemo, or radiation....
As you can see.....even in Tucker's third year of treatment, he received several beads. There is NO WAY for me to be able to tell you just how much these kids go through ..... in their journey to be healed.
This is Tucker......today.....age 16. He is healthy and super handsome! He does have Type 1 diabetes, caused by damage from his chemo....But for the most part......he handles it very well. He loves life and Golf is the sport he enjoys!
I am so thankful for the care that Tucker received at Children's Hospital...... I will never forget the many hours spent....walking around this place.....praying and asking God for a HIS healing powers to touch, not only Tucker....but every kid in that hospital....
It is a BEAUTIFUL FENCE!!
I'm joining Good Fences today.....
