William

By Jeffrey Standen

I can't let this day go by without remembering the birthday of my little boy William, my first-born son. He was as sweet and happy and active and beautiful a young child as you'll ever meet, and my wife and I were in shock when he was diagnosed with a rare and untreatable form of leukemia. We tried every possible remedy for him. Six months later he died in my arms, on December 6, 1991, at the age of three. I'd give anything, absolutely anything, to hold him again, even for a single minute. Those of you with children, be thankful. As deeply sad as I am and always will be about losing William, I have always been grateful to know that I loved that boy as much as I possibly could, and that he knew he was loved.
