Gavin David Leong the Fallen Supper Hero: A boy who will never be six
He is a boy who will never be six.
He is a boy who will never cuddle with his mom,
Sit with his dad,
Or play with his brother,
He is a boy who will never be six.
He is a boy who left this earth too soon.
He is a boy who made a difference.
He was a boy who did not need to pretend to be a supper hero,
because he was
He is a boy who will never be six.
Experts say he was deaf,
but he heard his mother's voice.
Experts said that he never walked
Yet,
on December ,12 ,2012 he walked across the kitchen floor.
Experts said he was not going to learn much
Yet he understood how to hit a switch to ask for water
He was a fallen hero .
A boy who will never be six.
OH God how I hope and pray
that you surround his family with love and grace
helping them feel in place
with their supper hero gone
A boy who will never be six
He will never be forgotten,
never
ever
erased.
ever
erased.
I never knew this hero,
I met him online .
Everyday I would read his stories
on his family blog
Chasing Rainbows .
I met him
Meny met him
He touched so many lives
Like heros do.
Gavin
Oh Gavin
David Leong .I mourn for you
You were so brave
and so true.
There is nothing that I wouldn't do to support your family
ED, Kate, and Brain
You will always have a place in my heart along with Gavin
Know guys that the cyber special needs community
Morns with you.
We mourn for a boy.
Moans for a boy who did not have to pretend he was hero.
Moans for a boy who did not have to pretend he was hero.
because he was a supper hero.
A boy who will never be six.
Rest in Peace Gavin.

My Best friends and a fallen hero
FOR GAVIN |
One such person is Kate Leong. She has had it hard. Her oldest son has CP Her youngest has had to overcome a speech impairment and penut allergy. Her oldest son, Gavin David Lenog died tonight after having heart problems. I have watched her Facebook post since Wednesday, the day he got sick, hoping that he would pull through. Unfortunately he was pronounced brain dead. He was Five and a half. He is a little boy who will never live to be six.
My Aunt came to town this weekend and I was happy to see them. On Friday Gavin took a turn for the worse. I read about it as i had a meeting with my school DSPS program. I felt like I was in a fog. I had hope that Gavin would pull through. I told my consular about it. My speech therapist about it my parents my aunt. I have had the pic above to honor him.
I feel pain for a kid I never "met" because of the blog spere. I may not have met him in person because he lived across the country I knew he loved music . I was happy when he started to walk around Christmass last year . And I was thrilled when just last week he used a switch to say I want water at school. Then this happend. I am soo mad at God. Kate has already had a still born. She had been trying for more kids without fail and now her super hero is gone. I do not understand why god makes life so hard for people. I am soo mad. Please keep this family in your prayers,
For any of you longtime readers please know that you have been my greatest friends. A special shout out to Ellen , Kate , Jan , Nicole, Michelle, Debby, Shannon , Tim, Rick and those who I forget thank-you for reading and inviting me into your homes and share your kids with me. You may be older then me; however you are my best friends . Kate you are amazing thanks for sharing Gavin's story with me and countless others. I hope you can find peace on this difficult day.
Kate this picture is for you.

What would you say to a new parent in honor of national CP Day
CP did not prevent me from being a cute baby |
First I asked in a CP group on facebook
"That no matter what she needs to remember that regardless of the"Label" her child is still her child the same as yesterday and nothing will change that , and though therapy etc is important, so is being a kid - remember to still have plan old FUN!"Fall 1999 swinging away |
"Cp does not give you limits, live life to its fullest "
"Your child has cp, they are not cp. it is simply a part of who they are,its does no define them"
"Expect your child to be able to do everything(albit on an extend timeline) until she clearly shows that she just isn't physically capable if doing it. If you want other to treat your child like they're any " normal kid then you a s the parent need to treat her that way"
"For me.. I wish someone had told me to work on his communication. That milestones will be there just different ones. Its Ok to cry and it's ok to ask for help. treating them normal is so important.. [my son]is not able to walk.. but I always put him on the floor to play.. he would roll around.. sometimes whacking his head on the roll cause he didn't have the control at

"Remember Dr's are practicing for a reason. I personally will not get a surgery without talking to people who have experienced it before. I was told, "If it sounds too good to be true, look into it, it might just be."
" You still have the same child you had before the diagnosis..."
" You still have the same child you had before the diagnosis..."
I then asket my mom and she said
"I would tell them to be thankful for their child and prepared for the amazement of the power of unconditional love. Your child will teach you many life lessons and demonstrate the strength and resolve of the human spirit. With AZ, I learn every day just how amazing she is!"
I also asked other people with CP ( cause we are the experts right )
"it's not the end of the world, and your child is whole and perfect just the way they are:)"
