October 11th

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

Trent

Trent - this is your good friend Alicyn Bliss, I have been thinking of you forever, since I heard you were sick, and have wanted to visit you. I am so sad you are still sick and I miss you. I had so much fun in our 1st grade class with you. I will always remember you and how you were my pal. You always teased me and I loved it. I always have you and your family in my prayers each night. I love you. Love Alicyn

Dear Trent,
I really miss you. I still remember the times when we were in first grade together. I remember you were always fun and funny. When me and my mom were reading your note we almost cried. I still wished the medicine worked. Now I know lots of people that are sick. There's a kind of sickness my neighbor has which makes him not be able to move. My baby sister Ellie is learning how to crawl but we don't want her to yet. That's another thing we wish. Well...Happy Halloween!

Your friend,
Catie

Darla said...

Trent,
You are such a special young man to us and your Heavenly Father. You are teaching us so many things...and we will always remember the pure faith that you have. We are glad you had a blessing from your father and grandpa...blessings are truly how we realize how much Heavenly Father is aware of us. May you and your family always feel the peace that only Heavenly Father can give. I know the peace of Heavenly Father's eternal plan is how our family made it though this past year after we lost our sweet daughter. Please know WE LOVE YOU and are thankful for your influence in our lives.

With Much Love,

Hello from Detroit, Michigan. This blog reached me through email, and I wanted to let you know how impressed I am by you. You have influenced far more people that you realize. Your example is incredible. Your faith is incredible. Your knowledge and trust in the plan of salvation is incredible. You sure have a major party waiting for you on the other side. A whole eternity of happy times awaits you! You've definitely passed the test of mortal life and have left such a positive major impact on the those that will be staying here on earth a little longer than you.

God bless you.

Trent,
Last night as I gathered my family around the computer to read your blog the spirit was so strong, it was felt in such a powerful way! Checking up on you has been a great way to gather our family together often. When reading your latest entry to my family I could only read a few words at a time and had to stop because I was so choked up. Thank you for bringing a powerful spirit into my home every time we gathered to check up on you! What an amazing missionary you are as you bring a powerful spirit into the homes of all who check your blog...you have touched the lives of countless across the United States! How many missionaries do you know that serve missions like that? Trent thank you for being such a powerful influence of good in the world and thank you for being such a powerful influence of faith, courage, strength, and determination. You have given me the strength and courage to help me through one of my most difficult trials in life. Thank you for your powerful example to me! The lessons I have learned from you will forever remain in my heart. You will have a lasting influence upon all whom have been touched by your life! I pray you will feel in your heart of the love that we all have for you and your family! I pray you can feel in your heart of the love that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have for you. Love, Shelli

I have never met you, but I came across a flyer about Trent in our ward's Relief Society binder. I lost a family member to AML last year, so I was immediatly praying for your little guy. I came home and read up about Trent on your blog. I really can't express the sadness I feel for you and your family. I hope the next little while is filled with peace and love. I don't know if our paths will ever cross, but either way know I will pray for your family.

Trent,

Even though I just saw you here yesterday I want you to know how much you are missed here at the hospital. You were one of the best kids that I had the honor of caring for. Your testimony is so strong, you impress me so much. You will never know what an impression you have left on us here of a strong young man as well, as your family being a strong and happy family. I am glad you are not hurting anymore and know you will be missed but your family will be okay and you will see them all again. I believe that Heavenly Father has a greater mission for you and I know you will serve him well.
Love, Missy Benedict(PCMC)

You don't know me but I have been following your story. I just wanted you to know that you have truly touched my life with your strength and your faith. Your little life has made a difference in so many others. I will forever hold my kids a little tighter and count my blessings a little longer when I think of you. You have helped me become a better mom and a better person. A few weeks ago it was fast Sunday and I was trying to think of who I could fast for and you came to mind. I fasted for you and you sweet family. I will never forget you and your story.

Your family will be stonger just for knowing you and they will be better for this experience you are all sharing.

Jeff, I read with great sadness an email from BL Smith about Trent and his condition. My heart and prayers go out to your son and the rest of you.

Please understand that the following link is NOT a commercial plug. A University of Florida study done on the Acai berry from Brazil and Leukemia (not sure what type). The results, I believe were in vitro not in vivo but I still can't help but wonder if it would help your son.

I have a 9 year-old boy myself and cannot in a million years imagine what you are going through. My son is my LIFE!

After reading, if you want some of the acai juice just email me and I will GIVE you all that I can at no cost.

Here is the link to the U of F study: http://news.ufl.edu/2006/01/12/berries/

Trent,
I received an e-mail about you and followed it to your blog. I am so proud of you for your unwavering faith in Heavenly Father and His plan for you. You have had a difficult battle and it is so inspiring to see that when many others with much less difficult trials are faltering. While I am sorry for the trying times you've been through, I am rejoicing for the moment when you will meet your Father in Heaven. I'm sure He is very proud of you and that you have a special place reserved in His kingdom. I'm happy to imagine you happy and healthy on the other side when that time comes. May God continue to bless you and your family. He lives, and loves you!

It was so good to see you out with your family on Friday. You are amazing. I have known your mom for about 9 years. I watched her try to hold Brad while she was pregnant with you in Releif Society. I attended many a meeting with you and your brothers and many other kids (including my own)bouncing off the walls. I will have many funny and sweet memories. I know you will too. You have touched so many with your testimony, including me. What an amazing mission you have been on already. I know this hasn't turned out the way you and your family pictured and I am sorry. I do know you all have His comfort at this time. I could feel it from every one of you on Friday. Thank you for being so brave and strong. You are and always will be a great example to me and many others.

Trent,

I don't even know where to begin...unlike you, I am one who faltered because of lifes troubling trials. Trials that left me doubting that there really was a Heavenly Father that watched over and cared for me. What a humbling experience reading your blog has been for me. The faith of little children is absolutely amazing to me :-) Reading about you, and your enormous amount of faith and trust in our Heavenly Father has caused me to reflect upon, and rethink my own doubts. I found myself praying last night for the first time in almost 15 years. Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much for your example to me. My thoughts, and yes...my prayers are with you and your family at this time.

It has been a long time and I know you really will miss all of us. I will miss you. I think you are a good friend. I feel really bad that this is happening to you. I think you are very brave. Braver than anyone they show in the movies or TV. I know you are right. Heavenly Father does have a plan for all of us. I know you will be a great missionary.

I remember when Jade Pusey was fighting his cancer several years ago & he said something like, all we truly have to give the Savior is our service in the good times, & our humble submission in the bad times.Your family is truly an example of service & gracious submission to the trials in this life! Thank you for being such a good example to all of us! And thank you for being so willing to share your testimony with us! You are an amazing missionary!

Dear Trent,
Just wanted you to know what a huge honor it is to say I know you! You are a power house of influence. As I have read your blog and the comments, you have touched the lives of so many people. You are truly an amazing little boy. There is no question your family and friends love and support you. I know your family will do everything they can to be with you again. Thanks for being an example to our family-a testimony that we can be together forever.
Love
the Brakeys

Tiffany,

Hi to you and your family from an old friend--Brad Jeppson. I can't tell you how amazing your son is...he has already learned what most of us will never learn in a lifetime: to turn our will over to the Lord. Please tell him that he is an unbelievable example and I look forward to the day that I can meet him! I hope the Lord leaves him on earth a little longer, but I can see why He wants him back so badly. My family and I send our love. Hang in there.
