Default Thoughts and prayers please.

Not sure if this is the right place but as fellow C4 drivers I can't think of a better place. My 6 year old grandson has just contracted Leukemia. He hasn't ridden in my Vette yet because of the safety seat issue but I have a picture he made of me winning a race with my C4, and a crowd standing up and chearing. I love this kid more than my cars. For those of you who are so inclined, please say a prayer for Zachary's full recovery. Thank you.

Its a hard road for you and the rest of your family. I hope and pray the road ends with blue skies and fair winds. No child should have to go thru that, much less an adult. Bless his heart and God speed.

From one Grandfather to another, that's not something you want to hear about someone you love. Everyone needs to be strong for him. He knows he's sick, so do your best to reinforce the good for him and not dwell on the sickness.

Had this happen to a neighbor. He was born with leukemia and beat it. He's now in his 20's so it can be done.

I'll say a special prayer for you, Zach and the rest of the family. There's strength in prayer.

Paul

Oh man, the things life throws at us.

I was strong for my cousin who was diagnosed w/ the same cancer not long ago in his early 20s. I had to find the strength as a kid still with no real life experience coming out of college. You just need to always stay positive no matter how your grandson feels or thinks or how his parents feel. Someone has to be the strong foundation for the battle to come. When my cousin was at his lowest, I kept sharing how I looked forward to his future out of the hospital.

My cousin is ok now. Your grandon will be ok too
