Sunrise - March 22, 2000 at Yokosuka Naval Base Japan. Our 3rd blessing has arrived.

Lawrence was always getting sick. We spend most of our time in the hospital on Yokosuka Naval Base, where I was station at from 1994 up to 2000 where the Doctors at the hospital felt that it would be safer for us to be flown out to Hawaii for further testing.

So, we were flown to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii for more testing to find answers/cure for Lawrence. We spend 2 weeks there and finally a name for what he has, Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II deficiency with the deadly disease that Lawrence has. A extremely rare, with fewer than 100 cases diagnosed in medical history. Similar to the “boy in the bubble,” Lawrence had virtually no chance of fighting infection. Without treatment, Lawrence would die by age 2 or 3. A Bone Marrow Transplant was Lawrence’s only hope. We were all tested to see if one of our bone marrow would match to cure our son. We were lucky, April, his sister was the perfect match. So, off to Texas, where the only military hospital that does Bone Marrow Transplant.

Sunset -On April 22, 2008, at 0620am Lawrence at the age of 8 passed away.

Don't spend too much time in mourning tears are for the sad, I left to be with Jesus and this should make you glad. Don't waste your hours in grieving, no need to feel distress, I'm tired of life's frustrations and had to get some rest. Don't vex yourself with questions or try to reason why life here for me was ended, it came my time to die. Don't lose the love i gave you feed it with your care grow it with devotion and spread it everywhere. Don't fret because my leaving came in such a way we'll have another meeting in God's eternal day.

Gone but never forgotten

Lawrence Jacob Sii mommy miss you so much and I will always love you forever. I am so honor to be your mommy. I am so blessed for the time that I had with you Lawrence. I didn't want you to leave me, no I didn't, but I know you had to go. I wish you can come back to me, but now you are in Gods hand.  God had called you home. Some day we will meet again, and I can't wait until that day. I wish it could be right now. I still think life isn't fair. Please help me son. Heal our hearts. I love you Lawrence Jacob Sii.
