My Hero

Meet Trent...




They say that heroes come in all shapes, sizes (and I would have to add) ages. I have been closely following one that I want to share with you. Trent DuVal is the son of a good friend of mine growing up. Trent has leukemia and has been fighting a valiant fight. He has had an amazing attitude through everything and was recently sent home because the last effort from the doctors has proved unsuccessful and he is coming home to spend the last chapter of his mortal life with his family. He'll get to do all the things he has wanted to do for over a year (within reason). Trent has a blog that has truly inspired me. I would URGE you to take a look at it. I wanted to share Trent's lastest blog entry {tissues encouraged}:

Thank everyone for everything!! My family and I feel your prayers every minute of the day. We have been having so much fun doing things as a family. I have eaten the fast food I have wanted for so so long. It is good but I only handle a little. I am not in pain and still am making my family laugh. Dad and Grandpa gave me a blessing last night, it was beautiful. I know all will be well. I will not be in anymore pain or hurt, my family will also be ok. I will miss them terribly but they tell me time is different so I will have faith in that. To all my little friends please know I will miss you and await the time I can see you again. I have sure missed playing and having fun with each of you. I know everyone has to work through many feelings but please promise me not to be angry with Heavenly Father. He loves each and everyone of you and knows what is best for each of us. It is in his plan that I return to him, my time is over and I am ready to go. Please know I did not give up I would continue to fight if it was what the Lord wanted please be at peace all will be well. Love you all

Do you want to help? There is a way!! I took this directly off his blog:
A Day for Trent
Fund Raiser on Monday, October 13th
For the last 15 months, 8-year-old Trent has been bravely battling AML Leukemia.

To help Trent’s family with the tremendous financial burden from medical expenses, Chick-fil-A of South Jordan will be donating 20% of the day’s revenue on Monday, October 13th to Trent’s family.

Cash donations will also be accepted, and anyone making a donation of $10 or more will receive a coupon for a free Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich to be used on their next visit.
In addition, Chick-fil-A of South Jordan will hold a silent auction from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Auctioned items have been donated by local businesses and community members. All proceeds will go to Trent’s family.
Please help us in supporting Trent and his family! Call Chick-fil-A of South Jordan with any questions at (801) 727-2697 ******Southtown, Ogden & Layton will be giving a % of sales as well, but only the District Location will have an action and coupons for donations.

So basically, eat at Chick-Fil-A {of South Jordan} on Monday, October 13th!!
