How do you accept that your child is dying

Well, its been a while since I posted... I have had a lot going on... My son I talk about in my previous post with the rare disease is not doing well at all..  Not only has this Wegeners taken its toll on him, he is now Pre Stage 5 Chronic Renal Failure (also known as End Stage).  We just found out he goes this week to have a av fistuila placed in his arm for the purpose of doing dialysis for the rest of his life or until he is able to get a kidney.. The Wegeners has made the kidney transplant out of reach right now, his immune system is still attacking his own organs..

At this point, the doctors cant even say for certain how long Justin will survive and that is hard to swallow..  He is so angry right now, who wouldnt be under the circumstances... But all of his anger he puts on me and towards me, which makes all of this even harder.  But I guess that comes along with being a single mom.... It hurts none the less...

 

There are so many things I wish for him, things he has never done or been able to do.. Like going to a concert, he has never went to one or going to one of his favorite teams basketball or football games.  We have never been on a family vaccation.. My kids did without alot of the "extras" in life, but they never complained or made me feel bad because I wasnt able to provide them with that...

 

Maybe if anyone out there has some tickets laying around that they arent going to put to use you could keep Justin in mind.  He loves the Rap/Hip Hop and Basketball is his passion.. We live and hour away from Dallas Tx and an hour from Tyler Tx...  Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

Fairfield Ballers need help

This year my son is fortunate enough to be playing with the same coaching staff for a third consecutive season.  Coach has proven himself to be a person I am very comfortable putting my son in the care of.  He is more than just a coach, He is a father with a son on the team, so he understands the age group he is coaching, and he also expresses concern for the growth and well-being of the kids and not just winning. They understand education comes first and all team players must maintain a 2.5 in order to be part of the team.
This season our team really needs help.  We have 4 very big out of town tournaments that we are invited to attend.  We hope to be going to Las Vegas, Reno, Houston and Virginia (if we make it to Nationals).  As you can imagine, the expense for these trips will be costly, in combination with tournament fees, uniforms and shoes, food especially lodging, and transportation.  As parents, we are attempting fundraisers car washes and working "bingo" nights to try and raise money, we are in no way lazy parents.  However, as you might imagine air fare, renting a bus and paying for hotels or rental homes and gas, etc. is a huge task to take on and we need donations to help us make these trips possible and successful for these children. 
Your donation will go directly to the children on our team. We can make sure each child is able to have transportation to get to the tournament, have food and lodging while at the tournament and pay tournament fees.  Your donation is TAX DEDUCTIBLE and would mean so much to our families and the children who work so hard at keeping up their grades and good character, so they are able to play on this team.  Any monetary donation would be greatly appreciated, however, if you have access to any buses or large vans (or even rental car organizations that would donate a couple of large team vans during a tournament), rental homes, hotels, or restaurants in any of these areas, these would also be of GREAT assistance to our team
