Meet Rett...Our Super Hero!

Meet Rett - Our Superhero

Many of you have heard us talk of Rett Bush.  Rett and Kate have been best buddies since they met in the Turtle pre-school class. To say they were inseparable is an understatementt.  Somehow this quiet, Southern gentlemen decided that he was intrigued by the loud bouisterous presence that is Kate...and the two have become amazing friends.   And the best part of it all is that his Momma and Daddy and big brother, Cal, are pretty amazing people too.  So our whole family lucked out and found a huge blessing in the Bush Family.   



Rett has been waging his battle with leukemia since January of 2011.  We have only been along side the Bush family for one year...but in the year I have seen God in a new way as a result of this family.   I have prayed harder than I have before.  I have rejoiced over the  news that Rett made it through another night without another ER visit.  I have seen a family embrace God in a season of pain and heartache....and I will always be humbled by their example.  They trust fully in God to be their strength.   Kristen has been such an example to me of joy and faith in the midst of overwhelming fear and concern.  Cal has been an amazing example of compassion and love toward his brother.  They learned to love one another and treasure each day they have together.  This family is real.  They cry.  They bleed.  They fear.  They hurt.  But they ALWAYS trust in God's goodness and love.    

And today, we joined the Bush Family in celebrating the end of Rett's chemotherapy treatment!!   Today was amazing.  TODAY WAS AMAZING!  TODAY WAS AMAZING!!

 

I am so proud of this young man.   I am so grateful that God spared his life.  I am so blessed to be a friend of this family.  And I am so excited to officially be part of TEAM RETT!    In October Kate and Nathan and Josh and I will be joining Rett in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Fundraising Event called  Light the Night.   As a tribute to Rett, his mom has encouraged as many of his friends to join him in their Red Team Rett T-shirts and celebrate his victory.  It will be a fun night with a lot of exciting activities for the kids.   It is also an opportunity to come along side the Bush Family and LLS to raise money to further research in blood cancers.
