The Life He Lives at 3
Mood:  cool


Briar Sebastion Cummins
born on an October day
not one person could ever fathom
the obstacles about to come his way

A boy born with a disorder
called Myotubular Myopathy
This baby boy was sick!
His Mommy and Daddy were not happy,
that the doctors gave up quick.

The doctors said to "let him go"
"This ain't no life to live"
Briar's Mom and Dad said "NO! NO!"
"We have too much love to give"

"We have much faith and love
to help us through these times
We even have the Lord above
who is always by our sides."

Briar has spent most his life
at hospital and hooked up to machines
but after lots of prayers said
A "Miracle", no longer a dream.

Briar Cummins has beat the odds
that doctors had made clear
"Briars life is too short to fight"
But guess what?
They were WRONG!
Briar made it past ONE YEAR!

Thank you Lord, from up above
for giving us this little boy.
He's the reason that we believe
in what we call unconditional love.
Briar fills our hearts with joy.

Briar's smile lights the darkest of rooms
His laughter can be "heard" for miles
His life is one of miracles
Innocence, Love, and Smiles.

Briar's One Year Milestone
quickly came and went.
How fast time flies by!
Just one more reason to celebrate,
the life of this little guy!

Then Briar made it to year two!
Time flew by just as fast
Who ever knew?
Our happiness will forever last

Briar has a birthday
on October of this year.
A birthday party, what fun it will be
Briar Cummins is turning is turning Three!

Friends and Family
Food and Fun
Birthday cake for everyone!
Now we have a question,
What do we get him,
what shall it be?
A gift for for a boy
who is turning three?

Can Briar have this or that?
His Mommy's seal of approval
is needed
for toys, clothes, or even a hat!

Briar, this child, never yearns or wants
this seasons newest toy.
So, how about the gift of Comfort,
to give this little boy?

The bed he has is now too small
Briar's growing up
and growing tall!
Here's an answer to the question we all dread..
Let's all go in together to get Briar
a much needed bed!
A bed for rest
A bed for play
A bed to lay down his head.
A bed he will use EVERY single day!

No contribution will be too big or too small.
This loving gift of comfort
will be from us all.
Its just an idea
the rest is up to you
Just know what you decide
We know will be for love.
We give our thanks for all you do
And thanks to the Lord above.

Happy Birthday Briar Cummins!
Thank you for sharing your life.
On your day we celebrate
overcoming obstacles and strife.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Do You Believe In Miracles?

On October 27, 2003, we were blessed the birth of Briar Sebastion Cummins. Briar was born with a disorder called Myotubular Myopathy. His parents were told he would not make it and were advised to just let Briar die. They said "absolutely not". After many prayers and against all odds, the Cummins family is pleased to announce their "Miracle" son will be turning THREE this October! Briar is not only a miracle to his parents, but to all of us. His accomplishments are an amazing
inspiration and he confirms that miracles are real, they do exist! Briar may not verbally communicate with anyone, but he has taught us more than anyone ever could. Briar is what the world is lacking- hope, faith, unconditional love, and a reminder. A reminder that life is not what it seems to be. Never take anything for granted, and most important never give up!

"What Should I Get Briar For His Birthday?"

As many of you may know, there are limitations on the gifts Briar can receive. The Cummins family appreciates all gifts to Briar, but instead of giving him something he will outgrow or not play with, we came up with an idea - to give Briar the gift of comfort. We are asking anyone interested to give a monetary donation to go towards a new bed for Briar. We all are aware of the huge financial responsibilty involved for Briar's medical care and we thought that this may help the Cummins family greatly. Briar has outgrown his bed (yea! that means he's growing!) and he needs something bigger to accomodate his growth. What better way can you show love to Briar than to give him something he will use EVERY single day? If you are interested, you can make donations through a birthday card or through a collection box we will be setting up at Briar's party. We look forward to seeing you there!
*****Important... SHHHHHH!!!! Please do not mention this to Stacey or Damon because we want this to be a suprise!
