Thursday-Well, today was an emotional one. After telling everyone about the graduation from Sloan and then seeing Cody's yearbook. Our good friends, the Reiser's did a whole page for Cody. They did a collage of photos of their son, Jimmy and Cody. They played soccer together since kindergarten. I saw a photo of Cody actually playing and that made me very upset. It has been a long time since he played. I remember his last indoor game like it was yesterday. It was the Wednesday before his diagnosis on a Sunday. He was not playing well and his teammates were yelling at him to move faster. He was winded and had trouble running. Little did we know how sick he was. And look how far we have come! I am so proud of him. One of his classmates wrote a quote and wrote Cody's initials underneath it: "We all take different paths in life but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere". Thank you, Jess Golden.

Cody is excited about his last day of high school tomorrow. It is bittersweet. He never thought he would get there and he did it! I could not be more proud of him!
