 "My Mom Is A Survivor" My Mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said. But I hear her crying at night when all others are in bed. I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand. She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand. But like the sands on the beach that never wash away... I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day. She wears a smile for others...a smile of disguise. But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes. My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive. But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive. As I watch over my surviving mom...through Heaven's open door. I try to tell her that angels protect me forever more. But I know that doesn't help her or ease the burden she bears. So if you get a chance, go visit her...And show her that you care. For no matter what she says...no matter what she feels. My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal!
UPDATE: Our beautiful Angel has returned home to her Heavenly Father on June 18, 2007. Mila Casie Phillips was born on August 17, 2004. The moment she came into this world she radiated beauty. Her personality was beyond her age. She only knew gratitude, strength and love. Through her illness she has touched the world. Prayer chains have wrapped around this continent. Mila was diagnosed with a brainstem tumor in September 2006 at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Her valiant smile warmed the room and filled the hearts of many. Her love touched many and will forever be kept in the folds of our hearts. The courage she showed at such a young age amazed us all. Her sweet spirit will be missed here on Earth, but the comfort in knowing we will see her again brings us peace. Her spirit radiated and her work here is complete. We will always love our little Sunshine. Mila is survived by her Mother Andrea Brenay, Father Keith Phillips and a multitude of extended family and friends. Please keep our family in your prayers during this time of sorrow....
To all the come to my page, I thank you. I am Andi, I am the Mother of Mila Phillips. Mila is 2 years old and was diagnosed with a Terminal Brainstem Glioma Astrocytoma Tumor on September 6th at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. It is inoperable, and because of her age untreatable or treatable with risks to high to take. I remember the feeling of watching a Doctor kneel at my feet with tears in his eyes only to deliver what would be life changing news about my precious little girl. From the moment Mila was born, until the moment she goes back home I have been honored to be her Mother. I believe with all my heart she picked me, and we knew that the moment we saw each other. I share with you her story of courage and love. I also share with you my story of Faith, to know the plan of salvation is being put into effect and I will hold strong to the gospel. I hope you will see the beauty that she is, the pure love of Christ that shows through her. Be apart of our lives, and stay with us always. Mila, I am proud of you. You have been my shining star. When you leave this earthly world, I hope to one day stand before you again and you will be proud to say "That is my Mommy....I have missed her." I promise to follow in your footsteps here. I will live in your love. I will shine with your spirit. I love you my Little Child. This song I leave for you ~~You are my sunshine....my only sunshine....you make me happy, when skies are grey...you will never know dear, how much I love you....Please don't take my sunshine away.....
