Brian's Best Friend



Brian (as Spiderman) and Ellie

    This precious little girl is Brian's best friend. One year ago when Brian was first diagnosed Ellie colored a picture and decorated it with Cars stickers just for Brian. Brian liked it so much that we taped it to his wall beside his bed. Today after church Ellie dropped by our house to give Brian another sweet picture and note. She looked through her coloring book for just the right picture for Brian. If you can see it is of Hello Kitty at the hospital and the doctor is giving her a check up.

 Brian's first picture from Ellie stayed taped to his wall for months and months! We still have it. It's wrinkled and torn and very special. Mommy had set it aside to go in Brian's scrapbook, but when the new picture was dropped off this afternoon Brian wanted them both taped up next to his bed. William asked Brian if he was going to marry Ellie since he likes her so much. Brian said, "No. I am going to marry Mommy, but Ellie is going to be my best friend forever."

Ellie's mommy told me that Ellie never forgets to pray for Brian and consistently reminds her parents to please pray for him. 

Deuteronomy 6:5-9  Ellie's parents do a wonderful job teaching and showing her God's love and His commandments. Ellie's love for God and compassion for others (right now specifically Brian) is such an encouragement. What a reminder to us adults as we see this four year old live and love. Mark 10:13-16
