My son Avian “Buddy” was diagnosed with a very aggressive brain tumor(ependymoma) at the age of 1. He fought brain cancer for 7 years and was never on remission…He had 6 tumors at all different times and went through chemo and radiation numerous times..Unfortunately he lost his battle January 20, 2011 at the age of 8 He touched so many lives throughout the years he was here on earth… He faced the fight of cancer with strength and smiles all the time.. His bright smile would light up the world.. He enjoyed video games, baseball, swimming, fishing and especially his Halloween parties.. Buddy will always live in our hearts and will be deeply missed by all… We love you buddy You will never be forgotten….. We are so grateful for the time you were here with us… I bet being cancer and scar free feels amazing…..and most of all thank you for being strong for mommy It’s not goodbye it’s see you later…
