My Buddy, Jay

These are some old pictures of me with my friend Jay at school back when we used to hide behind the rocking chairs together and giggle and constantly battle for pretty Madison's attention. We didn't have any newer ones, but he and I have been in the same room at daycare for almost 2 years now. He's the sweetest, jolliest little guy you'll ever meet.

We're putting them up here on my blog because Jay's family just found out that he has a very advanced cancerous tumor in his body. It spans from his stomach up into his chest and to his eye. He's down at Children's Hospital now getting the care he needs. Mom said when I was in the hospital she and Dad were overwhelmed by the support that we got from friends and family and from the number of people who said they held us in their thoughts and prayers.

We thought by putting Jay's picture up here you might remember to think of him or say a prayer that he gets better soon. We're praying that his family gets to celebrate his good health very soon.

His family has made a blog where you could see some more recent pictures of him and learn about what's happenning at www.prayforjayellis.com.

I miss you at school, Jay, come back soon.
