Jamesie beats the tumor



Some of you in the blogosphere may have heard about baby Jamesie.  Less than a month after he became sick with an incredibly aggressive brain tumor, James Sykes went to heaven.  He was eight months old.  You can get the whole story on their family blog: Jamesie beats the tumor.  You should be prepared to cry.  A lot. 

James' mom is a high school friend of my cousin, and she has requested that folks help out in their effort to have a baby giraffe at the Dallas Zoo named after baby James.  I think this is such a sweet legacy for their baby boy.  If you feel so led, please fill out and send in the form here and vote for the giraffe to be named "Jamie the giraffe"  (she is a girl giraffe).  You can see the Sykes' post on naming the giraffe here.  And if you have a blog, please feel free to pass this along.  Thanks!
