Ken,

Thank you for sharing these touching feelings and moments of your life with us.  Having 2 boys of similar age it really struck home how quickly life can change.  You have my utmost respect for overcoming unimaginable challenges and everything you've done for your little girl.  A lesser man would have folded.  Hell, I may have folded!  But you stuck through it and got to see your little girl happy again.  HUGE props to you.

I can see where your girl gets her fighting spirit from.  Seems as though hard work and tenacity runs in her blood.  It's so awesome to see her laughing and smiling again. 

Best wishes to you and yours,
Chad

Thanks Chad. If it was your kid, believe me you would do the same. I'm nothing special, but Bella is. Thanks for the kind words.
I also see your from The "Big Island"... I haven't been there in 30 years, but my dad (I guess that means I am too) is Hawaiian/Portugese, and is from Maui.

I'm actually on Oahu, The Crowded Island!  LOL!  Carvalho is a fairly common name here.  Was gonna ask if you were Portuguese (or "Portagee" as we joke around here).  If you're ever back in town hit me up!
