To Teach love
Ben was here to teach people to love. He did it through the way he smiled, and laughed. He showed me, his mommy how to love. I love you Ben Felder.

Ben's Story
BEN'S STORY www.curechildhoodcancer.org
On February 10th, of 2004 Ben Felder was diagnosed with Rhabdomyasarcoma. Ben was 3 years old. He was the love of my life. Ben went through many months of chemo and radiation. The thing that I loved the most about Ben was that he had a heart of gold. Every time he went to the hospital for chemo or transfusions he would always bring his bike and ride it around the nurses station. He also really loved Thursdays at the hospital, because that is when the CURE would bring him dinner. That would make him feel so special. Ben went to Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital. He had a very special connection with one doctor. His name was Dr. George and Ben always said, “ He is my doctor”. In the summer of 2005 we thought that the cancer left Bens body and he was on remission.
Sometime in March of 2006, we were told that Bens Cancer was back. I was devastated. The thing that hurt me the most was when I had to sit down with Ben and let him know that the cancer was back. I had never seen such a sad look on a child before this. After talking to the doctors we knew that there was no way out this time. The last month of Ben’s life was so sad. He would stay on the couch or lay in my arms or his dad’s. He looked so sad. My baby was dying right in my arms. For the last month I would not let go of him. On April 27th, 2006 Ben died while lying on mommy’s bed. I held his hand through it all. I miss my baby so much and will never forget how much all the doctors and nurses loved him too. I want everyone to know, “Don’t think that there are ever too many hugs or kisses to give out to your kids. You will never know when it may be the last one.”
