As my heart breaks again to hear this news, my prayers and most sincere sympathy go out to John Colenda and his family from Perryville, Maryland.

They lost their 8 year old son Jack after he contracted Lyme disease.

That is so very sad. I wish there was more of a back story, but the story of the "tattoo memorial" is very touching, too. I know this family will work to educate others.

Good God, I can't even imagine. And I don't want to. How very sad.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
