About Me

Bakersfield, CA, United States
Hans was a busy, happy, sweet and fearless three year old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He fought his disease like a "gladiator" for nearly 6 years. Hans was an animal lover to his core. He was 'guarded' at home by his three cats, Black, Orange and Cotton. He also had his Golden Retriever, Honey, to keep him company. Hans enjoyed swimming, biking, gardening, grilling (he had his very own grill!), horseback riding, playing video games, building Legos, and flipping between Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. Hans loved all members of his family and he was a loyal friend. He had to go through a lot of treatment in his life. But Hans powered through it. His attitude was let's get this done! His motivation was always to get back home, to his family, pets, favorite foods and pool.

It is pretty rough not sending you off to the fifth grade this week, Hans. Oh, how I wish that you were sitting in a classroom! Elle and I picked out a back pack and filled it with the entire 5th grade school supply list and will drop it off and hope it goes to a little boy who needs it today. The girls in my book group joined in the effort. It's good to do a little good. Love is forever. xoxo
