They are si insignificant in comparison. I think of you daily. I pray for you all constantly. I cry for you. Don't forget to take care of yourself too!

I just had to say something. I'm so thankful for your resentment....is that okay? Because it's your resentment that makes me remember how precious life is, and how facebook, the bachelor, and teething, mean nothing. We all need reminders, and I appreciate yours. I pray for you and your son and your family. For strength, and I'll also pray for sleep.<br />From a stranger and a Sister,<br />JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027512458422037606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861893194705249004.post-66277354686806811582010-03-02T19:41:38.839-08:002010-03-02T19:41:38.839-08:00I am guilty of the face book status updates about ...I am guilty of the face book status updates about weather or snow or minor illnesses. I think about you and your family 24/7 these days. I think some of us do it (dumb status updates) to forget about some of the trials and things we are going through. Your trial is something that isn't easy to hide or keep secret but we all have things we are going though. I am so proud of you for being so open and honest on this blog. I love you Holly and remember all the fun time we had working together. I wish so bad you didn't have to be going though this. bad things should not happen to people I know and love. You are normal to feel the way you do. I don't blame you one bit. I know you feel alone. I wish I was closer. You are in my thoughts and prayers constantly!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480856199308259907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861893194705249004.post-32953080773861785312010-03-02T18:54:30.131-08:002010-03-02T18:54:30.131-08:00Cancer has changed the way you think and feel abou...Cancer has changed the way you think and feel about life... probably for the rest of your life. At some point (and it may be in a year or not for 50) you will probably go back to complaining about life's little irritants and finding release in silly things - like the Bachelor and SYTYCD. I have... and I'm grateful I have. That means I don't have cancer right now. But you will treasure the life you've been given and your perspective will be different. You know that you'll get through it and that eternity gives us much to look forward to.

Drew doesn't sleep well either, so it really wouldn't be that big of a deal to me. I know how things seem even harder than ever when you are sleep deprived and I would be more than happy to do anything I can to help you guys out. If you don't feel comfortable with it, I totally understand, but really, consider it and let me know! <br />We still think about you all and pray for you daily if not more. Please let me know what else we can do.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358184507922668727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861893194705249004.post-82571233870555832132010-03-02T14:53:03.396-08:002010-03-02T14:53:03.396-08:00I know what you mean.

I know it's infinitely worse going through this with a child and having two young healthy children who need you too. Accept one of the many offers to help and let them stay up with Gavin while you sleep. I'm worried about your health. I have been miraculously blessed with health, but I've had it much easier than you. I wonder if there are online support groups for parents of children with cancer. They are the ones who would know best how to cope with such insurmountable stress. I just feel bad for you. Hang in there, remember a multitude of people are praying for you. Cast your burdens at His feet and He will carry it for you.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11223310315116865835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861893194705249004.post-34200854217520700962010-03-02T14:46:46.052-08:002010-03-02T14:46:46.052-08:00Hi, I've been reading for a couple of weeks no...Hi, I've been reading for a couple of weeks now. My aunt is Karen Wilson, she passed on your blog to me. To make a long story short, my husband has been battling stage IV cancer for over 2 years now. Although watching my child go through this is not something I have had to do, I can relate to the emotions you are having! I hate Facebook for the same reasons you mentioned. I deactivated my account because anything I had to say was too heavy for a forum like facebook, and the things others wrote caused me to have strange feelings that I didn't like. I must say that after 2 years I have finally stopped thinking "If they only knew what we were going through" about every person I passed in the grocery store.<br /><br />I don't mean to leave a huge comment about me, just trying to say I can totally relate. You have a whirwind of some ups and some very down downs coming your way. Don't feel guilty about feeling what you feel. I would dare guess you will even hate your blog for a while and wish you never started it because words can't do justice the feelings you are feeling. Hang in there, I'll hate facebook right along with you, OK? Praying for you and your family and your sweet little boy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
