FOR THE CHILDREN
Welcome to my garden of children.
A garden where we can nurture and help our kids grow. This page is for all our children.
For all the children who need our help, who may be lost or missing, for those that are sick
and those who aren't. For the children who are our future.
For years I've looked for a way to make my brothers short life mean something and here recently I've met or surfed into pages of children with terrible, life threatening diseases. So this page will be for all our children, healthy and sick, lost or missing.
I dedicate this page to my brother who at the age of 14 contracted Acute Lymphatic Lukemia and at the age of 18 went to be with God and the Angels. He was always a very healthy and vibrant person so when this disease hit him it was a terrible blow to us all. He faught hard and each time the disease returned he tried to fight harder. Finally it just got to be to much for him and he quit his meds. He was tired of fighting he didn't want anyones help and didn't want anyone around. God took him home in October of 1985. I miss him still. He had a short life and we will always love and miss him. John, I love you. I know you watch over my shoulder as I creat this page. Goodnight John Boy.
The first thing I'd like to do with this page is give some links to several other areas. I hope this will be
the first of many. This is Steven who has a very serious kind of Lukemia and he is in the hospital at the moment
fighting very hard. He loves to get email, mail, or even phone calls you can go to his site through the rainbow.
This is Steven Haley.

I've been going through some of my things that I like to keep that I think are cute and worth keeping.
I thought I'd share it with you it will make you smile if not laugh out loud. I came across an Ann Landers article
that I kept called "World History According To Children". This was put together by a teacher named Richard Lederer,
it is made up from lines in students papers, collected by history and English teachers around the country.
Here is how it goes:
The History of the World
Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. Jacob, son of Isaac, stole his brother's birthmark. One of
Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites. The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They travedled
by Camelot. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without
any ingredients. David was a Hebrew king who fought the Philatelists. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives
and 500 porcupines. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns --- Corinthian, Doic and Ironic. The mother of Achilles
dipped him in the River Styx until he became intolerable. In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled
the biscuits and threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher
who died from an overdose of wedlock. Eventually the Ramones conquered the Greeks. Nero was a cruel tyrant who
tortured his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them. In the Middle Ages, King Harlod mustarded his troops before the
Battle of Hastings. Joan of Arc was canonized by George Bernard Shaw. The Magna Carta provided that no free man should
be hanged twice for the same offense. William Tell shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.
In the Renaissance, Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a
horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. The painter Donatello's interest in the female nude made him the father
of the Renaissance. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh invented cigarettes, and Sir Frances Drake circumcised
the world with a 100 foot clipper. Queen Elizabeth's navy defeated the Spanish Armadillo. William Shakespeare wrote about
Romeo and Juliet, a romantic couplet. Miguel Cervantes wrote "Donkey Hote". John Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his
wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while
cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe. One of the causes of the Revolutionary
War was that the English put tacks in their tea. Benjamin Franklin invented electricity by rubbing cats backward. Franklin
died in 1790 and is still dead. Abraham Lincoln's mother died in infancy. He signed the Emasculation Proclamation. In 1865,
Lincoln got shot by an actor in a moving picture. His name was John Wilkes Booth. This ruined Booth's career. Gravity was
invented by Isaac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in autumn, when the apples are falling off the trees. Bach and Handel were
famous composers. Handel was half German, half Italian and half English. He was very large. Bach died from1750 to the present.
Beethoven was so deaf that he wrote load music. He expired in 1827 and later died from this. Samuel Morse invented a code for
telepathy. Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbis. Madman Curie discovered radium. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx
Brothers.
