Love and Prayers Trista <tlong61879@gmail.com> Harman, WV US - Tuesday, March 17, 2015 7:39 PM CDT Beautiful pic... beautiful family... So grateful to see you all smiling bright...

Eva Van den Broeck <eva.michaele@skynet.be> Brussels, Belgium - Saturday, September 14, 2013 5:48 PM CDT Hoppin in to say WOW! Still thinking of and praying for your family! Kim Eplett O Fallon, MO USA - Saturday, August 10, 2013 2:48 PM CDT So glad to see those smiling (and MATURING - wowsers!!) faces! <3 Jen - by way of Baby Jacob Millbrook now, ON Canada - Thursday, August 30, 2012 9:06 PM CDT You and your family are looking great! All grown up, Julianna! Rach Lawlor <crazy_ray85@yahoo.com> San Angelo, TX USA - Thursday, July 19, 2012 2:33 AM CDT Hi Josephson's! You guys and gals all came up in a conversation at our house yesterday- it was nice to tell a new family friend about some of the very special people we were lucky to meet throughout Maddie's last year here. I still wear the "Maddie" wish bracelet you sent in the bundle of bracelets we received just before Maddie died, and 8 years later it's a bit stretched, so I may have to have it restrung. If I do, it will be done EXACTLY the way it was received- while I know life is full of changes (and accepting and embracing them), I like some little pieces to stay just as they've always been. Of course, there have been many changes over the course of 8 years- Keegan is now 9. He's a big-time soccer player (and fan- Man U). He'll be in 4th grade this fall, and he is as delightful now as he has always been! ChaChi will turn 20 this August, and is about to begin her 3rd year of college. She'll be heading to Florence for her spring semester- yes, I'm jealous! Ashley is 25! Oh my- I've been a mother for a quarter of a century! Her work is taking her to Zambia this month where she will get to go on a tracking safari... did I mention I have a twinge of jealousy when it comes to my kids' adventures?? My kids are all well, happy, and moving forward living the philosophy you have posted on your homepage! I am also quite well, as are Maddie's 27 aunties! ;) I hope this note finds the 4 of you all in good health and happy, too. The bracelet serves as a physical reminder of you all, and I am so happy that you continue to touch my life daily! With love, Julie-Maddie's mom caringbridge.org/mn/maddie Julie Dornisch <juliedornisch@yahoo.com> Minneapolis, MN - Sunday, July 8, 2012 9:06 AM CDT Juliana, I miss reading about you. I was unpacking a box and out popped a pink wish bracelet. I had to come see how you where doing. LOVE the picture. <3 Dawn Briscoe Merrill, Wi 54452 - Sunday, June 17, 2012 6:53 PM CDT I am beyond tickled to see the new picture of your beautiful family.

I've followed your story for years and haven't checked in for quite some time. God bless your family during this holiday season and may the New Year continue to bring you health and happiness!!! Yours and many other stories like this gave me much needed inspiration to continue and finish nursing school. When times were tough, and believe me, nursing school was like two years of boot camp, I would sit back and thing of your cute little face and beautiful smile and think of how it would all be worth it.

Christamae Zimpel - Wednesday, October 7, 2009 10:52 PM CDT I came across Julianna's page years ago and, even though i've never signed the guest book, have been praying for her ever since. When I read your most recent post I saw that you have experienced blindness in one eye that lasted for a while, but then disappeared. Have you been tested for multiple sclerosis? This symptom, called optic neuritis(loss of vision in one eye/vision problems in one eye that come and go) is a common first symptom. The disease can present radically differently per patient, but there are some options for treatment. I was diagnosed with it myself several years ago and have learned a great deal about it. My email address is attached to this post and if you have any questions please drop me a line. Liz <dreamerbyday84@aol.com> Chattanooga, TN United States - Monday, August 17, 2009 8:15 AM CDT Coming around to check in on you. I hope things are looking up and going well. Know that I care.

Hillybill Girl <adrienneclark65@hotmail.com> Meductic, NB Canada - Wednesday, May 6, 2009 7:44 AM CDT Good morning- I've not yet had time to read all of your entries, but felt compelled to write something, anything, right away. I came across your site after a google search about Septra (I'm honestly still not sure how there's a link, but perhaps further reading will reveal the mystery), and as I read the first paragraph of your last post I was in awe of your ability to write about the most difficult of experiences with the most gracious and affectionate words. Your writing, and family, are brilliant. I'm not sure if it is your profession by trade, but it is most certainly the craftsmanship of your soul. Please continue to share your talent and story with the world. We need more "light at the end of the tunnel" literature. Please know that I am wishing you all well.

Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Hooray and thank-you! Your stories and keen sense of wit have been sorely missed, Ms. Banana...but since it's for the best reasons possible (OK, except for your dad's eye thingy - but otherwise because of good health and a so-called normal life), we'll forgive you.

Been years, literally, I think since 2005, that I posted a message for you. Just writing to say that I visit your site every once in a while to see if your old man has posted an update. I'm always pleased to see that there has been no need to do so, but would just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see what's going on up there is Coldville!!!! Your pops was kind enough to encourage me when my family went through some tough times after Hurricane Katrina. When I was having a tough time contacting family members, I received an email from him, and it really meant a lot and will never be forgotten. Funny how a simple email can mean so much, eh!!!! Anywho, can you please tell that dude to post a little something, a new picture, anything........ It really warms the hearts of us in cyberland to see how AWESOME you are doing! P.S. I think that it would be super cool if your face could be placed on Mount Rushmore. Sure, you have never been president and you're not even from the US, but that big beautiful smile of yours would be a great addition!!!!

I just wanted to thank your family for being so supportive of Monarch over the past two and a half years! I can't believe it has been that long. I am proud to say I am now in college at St. Olaf in MN. Monarch although has stayed at my high school, which was difficult at first. Now, I hear updates from the current president and council members. They are making wonderful changes and adding their own flair to the group. I LOVE IT! Thank you for inspiring me. Your family is a constant reminder to me of how to keep a positive attitude even in the darkest of times. Juliana, you deserve the regular 8 year old stuff. Have slumber parties, make cookies and call your brother stinky, its normal! No mo' Chemo! No mo' cancer! No mo' stuff to stop the fun times. Thank you again for your support and inspiring stories.

Take care, Christamae Ones Who Care Christamae Zimpel - Thursday, July 17, 2008 3:16 PM CDT Hi Julianna Banana, What a awesome site you have. I went to school with your mom in Brandon (say "Hi" for me). I have 2 children Abby who is 12 years old and a boy named Taylor who is 18 years old. Taylor was diagnosed with luekemia when he was 4 years old. Surviving cancer was a big part of his life and I am happy to say he is doing well. For his high school graduation gift he asked us if we would pay for a tattoo! Of coarse we said "yes" thinking whats a little tatto after going through all those pokes at the hospital! Well he got a tattoo alright...across his whole chest!! it says "Cancer Survivor" with daffodils on each side. We were surprised at the size of the tattoo but proud of him just the same. It's so good to hear that kids are surviving cancer more and more. I also want you to know that we continue to support the cause in finding a cure for Cancer and to read about kids like you is so inspiring! Keep up the good work. -What do you call a banana sunburn? *A banana peel. :o) Amber Phipps (Loewen) <aphipps@mts.net> - Saturday, July 12, 2008 11:45 PM CDT I love the new picture.

I am going to take that as "no news is good news". The two year mark has hit. Another spring has sprung, another school year is coming to a close. Best wishes to your family. I hope your life has reached a point of happy mundane. The word mundane takes on new meaning when you've endured what your family has. As I continue to pursue my degree in nursing, when things get tough I think of your story for inspiration. Although I miss the frequent updates, I know your are off having fun and enjoying life as a cancer survivor. Best wishes again!!!
