love for you and hate for crappy cancer post 40 go fight win d y l a n s p r e a d the word posted by the falkers at 1 28 am no comments friday january 7 2011 a team mason foundation christmas and lots of history i have never written down feel free to skim through i have been contemplating exactly how to write about this experience honestly it involved amazing family friends and complete strangers lots of time laughs and even more tears on my end i know that is shocking what started out as a simple somewhat small project completely exploded in my lap and all over my house and i am so grateful it did we had such a great outpouring of love and support for these sweet families who currently are where we once were i cannot tell you the emotions that came flooding up during this undertaking i wish i could take credit for the success it was but i really can t the list of people involved is way too long to share but trust me it is an incredible one the debt that i feel every day to our amazing nurses doctors techs hospital supports is one that i will never be able to repay we are some of the lucky ones i still have my son to tuck in bed and that is something that i think about every day and every single night that i snuggle up next to him to say goodnight like i said it is a debt that i can never repay but i will never stop trying a little history of team mason when mason was first diagnosed it was a blur for a few days imagine being forced to take an exam that meant life or death before during multiple cramming sessions for an entire year of school in a few days after no sleep raw emotion and utter confusion that about sums it up it was the morning of the third day we had been there when i finally relented to leave and take a shower don t judge a new cancer kid s mom or her greasy hair i came home i got in the shower i stood for a second my legs gave out i sobbed like even extreme home makeover can t make me sob i sobbed out a prayer and tried not to be too loud because i was not allowed home without an usher and did not want to alarm the family i didn t need to be admitted to and then i stopped i think i was literally picked up by angels because i don t really remember doing it myself in that moment i knew we were starting team mason and some kind of foundation i vowed to save the world and my son all at once please remember the whole studying for an entire year of school no sleep emotionally raw bit above i now know that was my coping mechanism i packed up some scrapbooking supplies pictures and markers and raced back to the hospital i burst in the room telling everyone of my plans oops i forgot i was trying not to seem crazy and decorated his board and told every single person that came into the room to sign these sheets of paper cute paper blah blah blah i had some nurses looking at me like i was crazy after a few months i realized why we were going to be there for a long while i was going to need a lot of paper to keep that project going crap long story made a little shorter that is how team mason began once we started into things and realized wow it is virtually impossible to help your 15 month old fight for his life have both spouses working and save the world crap again although we started the foundation and fight club anything outside of mason took a back seat we have tried to do things here an there to be honest i completely shut off to most things in my life after we got home being a first time parent and adding cancer to the mix it took me several months of being home for my initial response to every scratch and bruise not to be constant crying and rushing to the doctor even now it is a reflex i fight at times it was truly hard for me to hold on to any hope because i was so frightened about seeing him go through that again that sounds terrible but it is true in fact after we finally hit the two year mark i was finally able to function the week before our visits i was so happy that they turned into a mere routine and a chance to see the faces we love without so much of the heartache i felt great then i think the lord knew i needed to address the emotions of it all and loosened his tender yet completely solid grasp that had kept me afloat for so long and now i am a constant ball of blubber although each month brings more clarity bottom line cancer sucks big time okay so onto the project i would not normally post this but i want everyone that gave so much to support to our fellow ics families to see just what a difference they made from donating time and single items to very generous monetary donations it took so many to make this the success it was it may not look like much but the picture is deceiving plus this wasn t even all of it we were hoping to make 12 baskets in the beginning and asked for a few friends to help out instead of getting chris presents for his 30th birthday well we then found out that the ics floor now has 8 more rooms then it did when we were there and 12 just wouldn t be enough knowing we couldn t possibly do more on our own i let more family and friends know of our plans and gave them an opportunity to participate that being said you can see that the 24 baskets we were able to put together were chucked full of great stuff some ipods tons of dvd s cd s nice blankets egg matresses for those amazing chairs that fold out to beds we learned to sleep on treats and so much more i couldn t even fit them all in this picture my sister melanie had planned on helping us load and deliver but as we were getting closer the hubs a very smart man realized there would not be enough room in our cars my sister kim and her family had just arrived from hours of travel from arizona and agreed to add 5 hours to the trip to help us it was such a blessing to have them loading them into pcmc they really were not expecting them to take up so much room they ended up lining the hallways if available offices to stash them it may or may not have been a fire hazard this is the tree right before the doors to ics very fitting for our floor after we loaded them up talked a minute and took some pictures we came back downstairs and had dinner at the rainbow cafe i cannot tell you the amount of time we spent there the amount of food consumed from there i just sat and tried not to think about how blessed i was to be eating there and then going home with my healthy child to sleep in our own beds it didn t really work although it has had a major makeover i can still see the small fountian in the old lobby with children playing and all sorts of amazing gadgets most had stopped working but i loved it i would drop change into every time i passed and it was right next to the cafe so we passed it a lot chris would get so mad when i threw quarters in but i was convinced it was worth 25x s more luck then a penny so at times i would throw in several i got very s uperstitious that year just ask my dance girls my dad finally got me a penny jar to keep in the room so when i left i could grab some pennies in an effort to save our much needed bank account he may have saved our marriage as well about halfway through his treatments they drained and dismantled it i almost tried to find the presidents office to give him a piece of my mind thinking back i should have broken off a piece of it for myself they couldn t possibly arrest a cancer kid s superstitious mom right hind sight is 20 20 back to 2010 we had everyone come in and get dinner or ice cream or both brightyn who really did have her hair done when we left the house was showing off her straddle and the kids were having a great time my traveling sister kim hubs brad david amber and josh with mason my sister melanie and daughter machaela machaela decided to help out with this whole project and got her ward neighbors and aaron s work melanie s hubs in on it too mason and kayla the whole gang david and josh were sweet enough to sit with mason and brightyn they had both had a little runny nose and we didn t feel comfortable taking them on the floor in the car while the girls machaela and amber along with the adults transferred everything in it was a huge group effort to make it all work my favorite sign that they still use i had to post it on christmas eve a couple friends from high school one who owns a couple of subway stores arranged to have sandwiches salad and chips for the families and staff for lunch i thought it was so sweet of both of them to take them time on the holiday to work it out i was out of town and make it happen thank you so much mike and brooke from the bottom of our hearts we want to thank every person that contributed to a team mason foundation christmas we are looking forward to making it bigger and better for future years if you would like to participate in the future check back or email us and i will let you know when we are starting to work on it again for next christmas we are also going to try and set up a po box and possibly a paypal for the foundation and make it easier to donate we are hoping to not only to make the care giver baskets a little bigger and a lot better but we want to focus on the
