Goodnight Sweet Braeden...


We knew it was coming, although we prayed for a miracle...but brave little fighter Braeden Burgess passed away last night. You have to sign in at Carepages to read his mom's updates, so for those of you not registered there, here is what his mother posted today. Braeden was only three years old and has been battling OMS and Stage 3 neuroblastoma...

"Braeden was called home this morning at 2:27 am. He woke briefly and mom and dad were both with him, holding him. I believe he knew we were there and understood what we were telling him. He is now healed. Not the way we all had wanted, but in God’s perfect way, in His perfect plan. There is no more pain or sorrow for Braeden, and he had many friends awaiting him in heaven. While in the hospital, an arena race car driver visited the oncology floor. Because Braeden was in ICU, he couldn’t go to see her but his child life buddy Rhys had her autograph a checkered flag for him. She wrote, “finish strong.” He couldn’t have finished stronger"

Loved by so many...now missed by so many. Please pray for his family and leave a note if you stop by his Carepage. His link is on the right-hand side of Connor's blog.

Poor little Braeden and his family - he really touched my heart and put another face on this terrible disease - he earned his angel wings for the tough fight. I will miss him.
