You might remember that several months ago I posted a note about the daughter of one of best friends. She is currently being treated for AML Leukemia in Charlotte, NC. She just turned 10 years old last week and has been amazingly strong these last several months. Her name is Ashlyn and today she’s had some complications that resulted in her being placed into the ICU. Please pray for her and for her family as she continues to fight this disease. If you would like to leave her a message of encouragement, please go to the Caringbridge website. Click on the link to visit a website and type ashlynhunter in the box. I know that her parents read her all the messages left on her site, and that you’re prayers are needed and much appreciated.

Wilson’s a fan of the “rock-n-roll” as it were. I believe that some of his favorite artists are: Johnny Cash, Bon Jovi, REM (though he doesn’t know that’s their name), Steely Dan and Bruce Springstein. What a boy!

Sophie has a more eclectic taste, somewhat like mine. She’s been enjoying “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper. She also likes “Bouncing ‘Round the Room” by Phish. Some other favorites of hers include: Bruce Springstein, Elizabeth Mitchell, Bon Jovi and LeAnn Rimes. And you should hear her rendition of Gianni Schicchi as done by Hayley Westenra, … oh my goodness. You may know it better from the “A Room with a View” soundtrack.

Sam definately has his own taste in music. He enjoys a couple Neil Young songs from the Harvest Moon Album. He also likes: They Might Be Giants (especially “Birdhouse in your Soul”), Go Fish, Bruce Springstein’s “We Shall Overcome” american folk songs, Justin Roberts, Bon Jovi and Phish. The funniest thing I’ve heard in months…. Sam singing “Don’t You Want Me Baby” by The Human League after a “lost in the 80’s” weekend on the local station.

I am sensing a common thread or two….
