Since I have been Derrick's girlfriend for nearly four years now, I know a lot about him. I have always known how determined and courageous he is. Even though he has always been my protector, I still never knew just how strong he is. Each day he wakes up with a positive attitude and ready to face the day ahead of him. It is truly amazing how even though he is the one who is going through this battle, he is still able to cheer everyone up who walks through the room. He just has this presence about him that is so calming and just makes everyone feel that it is going to be alright. He is an inspiration to everyone especially myself. I think that through this all his faith in God has never wavered and has only grown stronger. I want to take this time to thank everyone for their prayers and positive thoughts. It amazes me the support network that Derrick and his family have, which I think directly relates to the wonderful people that they are. Please keep us all in your prayers!

D squared, don't forget we have a date! I can't wait to sit by the pool with you and your dad and have a Cuban as we discussed. Our faith and love is with you always.
Hey bud! When I heard about everything that was happening to you the first thing that came to my mind besides the obvious feelings of sadness and questions of why, was your spirit. Since I have known you, you have ALWAYS had this positive spirit and this contagious smile. While this disease will challenge your body, I know your spirit will remain untouched. You are a fighter and this battle you do not have to fight alone you are surrounded by people who love and adore you and God by your side. Keep the smile on I know you will. Love you!
P.S. I was just telling my parents how it seemed like in highschool our entire class would go to your house and stand out on the street and watch you guys chug freakin milk until there was white and brown (chocolate milk ha) streams going down the street. Why in the world we would do that haha.
You got this!
Hey Derrick. I havnt talked to you much over the past few years, but the friendship we developed throughout our school years will last a life time. When i heard about all of this my heart cried out for you. But i know that you have always been one of the most determind and strongest guys i know. You will pull through all this and come out better then ever. Just hang in their and know that all of us our praying for you. Stay positive and keep on smiling. You've got wonderful friends and family on your side.
Derrick...when I saw those pictures of you in the the hospital with that smile of yours, it brought tears to my eyes. You have such an amazing strength that not many people have, and you are admired for that. You are in so many of our thoughts and prayers, as well as your family. God Bless, I know you can beat this!
Hey Derrick. We didn't talk too much in high school, although we had some classes together, but I was completely blown away by the news. I hope that you continue to stay strong and believe that this is NOT the end for you. You and your family will be in my prayers. Take care and keep smiling.
Derrick,
We were sorry to hear about your illness. But we are happy to hear that your spirits are high. Keep a good outlook because all things are possible when you have faith and believe.
We wish you well, and you will be part of our prayer list. If there is anything we can do for you or your parents, please let us know.
God bless,
