It would take a ten hour movie to portray the highs and lows of your life. I remember the last 12 years well . Great synopsis ! Great movie! Great family :)

Sweet Baby James,
I can't stop watching this video repeatedly. There are so many memories of you from childhood, adolescence, and adulthood that reflect your determination and strong spirit to get out there and give it your all no matter what you do. I think you remember my telling you Grandpa Ramey's favorite saying many times growing up and it stuck with you JIMBO: "When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just
RIGHT FOR ME!"
Love your Mama who is always with you and in your corner XXXXXOOOOO
by Risser on September 19, 2008 at 12:38 PM

What an inspirational story. I don't often share mine, but two of my family members have been affected by brain tumors. One has passed away, and the other has had part of her life taken away (though yet still alive). I pray that each and every brain tumor patient knows there is hope and finds the strength they need each and every day. Yours is truly an inspiration to me and others as well. You can unlock any door if you only have the key......
