Last year in August I found out my best friend’s son Zach (age 7) had a very rare and deadly cancer. Zach and his sister are more to me than my best friend’s kids; they are my children.

The Hawaiians have a saying: different tribe same vibe. That means we are family even though we are not blood related. That is how I feel about them all.

They live in Seattle. But I had moved from Seattle to Florida at the end of July. In August 2006, Zach was diagnosed.

My family and I were very new to Celebration church. After a Wednesday service I spoke to Pastor Stovall about my Zach. I was crying so much that my son had to speak for me. Stovall told me to believe that Zach would be healed. He said God was the Ultimate Healer!

It has been a long year. Many challenges and struggles. Many prayers, tears, laughter and praise.

I have had so many people from the church praying for Zach.

In November 2006, Zach had a 14 hour surgery. The surgeon removed 70% of his liver and re-constructed his bowels. He went through 9 more months of chemo after this surgery. Not only did his liver grow back but so did his spirit.

The cancer is GONE!

His body and mind are healing. His hair has started to grow back thick. The color is back in his face. His mom and 3 sisters are recovering as well from this long journey.

Now for the AWESOME news.

Before Christmas this year, I went on a Disney cruise made possible by Make a Wish with Zach and his family. Every time I saw him smile or run or play I knew I was witnessing a MIRACLE!

Only God can make a liver grow back. Only God can cure cancer. Only God could bring my Zach!

I have made a website for Zach. I uploaded the pictures from the cruise. Please feel free to see our miracle.

Thank you!!!
