Dear Jacqui,

Just stopping by to let you know you are in my heart and prayers and we have not forgotten Michelle. May God draw near and fill your heart with strength and grace, but most of all, hope.

There is constant joy abiding
In Christ my Lord and King;
Of His love that passeth knowledge
My heart and tongue shall sing.

He is all in all to me,
And my song of songs shall be,
Hallelujah, O my Savior,
I am trusting only Thee.

When my path is veiled in shadows,
And clouds above me roll,
I can smile amid the tempest,
His glory fills my soul.

I can see his bow of promise
Through tears and trials deep;
I can hear His voice like music,
That lulls my care to sleep.

I shall yet behold the praise Him,
And dwell in perfect peace
In the golden land of beauty,
Where cloud and wave shall cease.

Sending a ton of prayers your way.
Love and hugs
Judy

Catch An Angel

Today I Thought of You

I sat and watched a sunset today
The way we once used to do
I recalled the tranquility it brought
Today I thought of you

I watched a little child at play
While others played with him too
I thought of all the times you played
Today I thought of you

I watched a mother leave her child
And walk away from the school
I remembered the times when we did that
Today I thought of you

I watched a wedding taking place
As I sat and observed the bride and groom
I know I'll never share this with you
But today I thought of you

I saw a little girl in a store
Buying candy for her brother too
I remembered you and your sis
Today I thought of you

I sat in a church in the back pew
The family torn in two
They were burying their little boy
Today I thought of you

I saw a cloud up in the sky
The background a beautiful blue
I thought of Heaven and where you are
Today I thought of you

No matter where I'm at
As long as my memories come through
I'll always think of you daily
I'll never stop thinking of you

Sharon Bryant Angels Remembered

You are never far from my heart and prayers.
Much love

Hi Jacqui,
I write the poems for the Memorial Quilts, I would be honoured to be able to write one for your Michelle's Quilt.
Hope you're doing okay.
sending you lots of love

Hi lady!
That is so wonderful that her rose bush is blooming!
I don't think it is daft for you to go say hello to your daughter every morning. I believe I would do the same thing.
I think running in that race would be a wonderful way to raise awarness for childhood cancers.
You are a big hearted lady and you will be an excellent social worker!
Hug and Hope, Love and Prayers to you from us. QOL

Thinking of you and your Angel today...I pray that the Lord helps you to find comfort in your memories and love in your heart.
God Bless You,
Island Princess

Happy Mother's Day to a very special mom. Today may well be one of the most difficult days for you as the world celebrates Mother's Day surrounded by their children and we celebrate knowing one of ours cannot be here - they reside in Heaven.

You are still a very special mom and your angel is showering you with love and kisses. You above all other mothers, have earned the right to be called Mom. You have faced fear, terror, pain and so much suffering for the love of a child. Though our children are not with us in person they are with us in our hearts. You made the ultimate sacrifice and are still left reeling from the pain.

May your heart be filled with love, peace, joy and hope and may the memories of your special, beautiful angel wipe away your tears and comfort you until the day we hold them in our arms again.

With much love and hugs,
Judy

I am so very sad and sorry that you must experience the pain and sorrow of this horrible loss. It is a difficult road to travel, and unless you've been down the road, you have no idea how horrid the pain is.
Just know that there are some of us here that understand your sorrow.
Losing a child is the worst pain one can experience...I am trying to survive by remembering before the cancer, before the pain of the cancer...it is difficult, but finding those memories help ease the pain...

To Michelle's Family.....My deapest sympathy for your loss...My prayers will be with you and your family...She is in God's world now with no pain worries and full of happiness.

My 6 month old baby ( Daniel) was diognosed with Neuroblastoma on March 12, 2004.. He had surgery last Tuesday and the surgeon was able to remove 98-99% of the tumor. I have not received information from the Dr.'s on the prognostict or treatment, the Dr.'s are waiting for the Shimada Histology. I am new at this, and are still learning about the Tumor and I am very scared. I am very pleased to find so much information on existing cased and I thank all the families who take time to write about their own experience, it is helping me understand more about the tumor.

Once again my prayers will be with you and all the children who suffer from this and other diseases. God is giving me strength...

Hi, My name is Skip, I have a friend, who's daughter is diagnosed with cancer, I am offering a prayer. I am the son, who's father, received a miracle from prayer. When my father was younger, he was diagnosed with a disease called
rheumatic fever, a serious disease. My mother and father had no insurance, My father had become, almost totally paralyzed, They were living in Akron, Ohio. A small group of ladies, from a chruch came by and informed my mother they had heard about my fathers condition. They said the church hour was going to be on the radio that night and they would be saying a prayer for my father. My mother turned the radio on that night and listened. They did say a prayer and my father was listening, as he sat on the sofa. My mother had to carry help him as he could not walk. My mother went to the bedroom to get the bed ready for my father. As she was in the bedroom , she heard a noise in the kitchen. She walked out to find my father standing at the sink, getting a glass of water. My mother walked up to him with tears in her eyes and asked how he got to the kitchen. My father told my mother, that during the prayer, he felt a feeling come over him and all his pain went away. My father fell asleep in our Lord 56 years later. I have learned that there is NO medicine stronger than Prayer. As long as you believe, and you must strongly believe, prayer does cure sickness. I will say prayers for you and I want you to believe that a cure is just prayers away. I do not want anything, but for you to believe and pray also. If you can get friends to come over, hold hands and pray over you it is the strenth of prayer that works best. I can only hope that this messages finds you able enough to do this. My prayers will be with you EVERY NIGHT, my child.

Dear Jacqui and family,
I'm very sorry to hear about Michelle passing away, but it is wonderful that now she is at peace and flying high. I thought that her wish that people celebrate her life as it was so full of love and happiness was marvellous, what a wonderful memory for you to keep, to know that your daughter felt that way, she loved you so very much and she enjoyed her life with you so much, what a wonderful mother you must have been to her. How much she must have loved her siblings, what happy times she had with them. And for yourself Jacqui, that you feel that Michelle gave you enough love for several lifetimes, what a wonderful positive outlook you have, it is very uplifting to read your words. God Bless you many many times Jacqui, and your other children, I pray that you have peace and love and in the future (when you are not feeling as raw as you must be feeling now) many happy times with your memories of your dear daughter Michelle, until you meet again.

I send you lots of love and hugs, Angela

HERE IS MY HAND

Here is my hand, ready to hold you tight.
It can guide you when steps seem so heavy.
When pain sends you hurt, it can make you fight.
It can be a soothing bridge, your levee.

Here is my hand, lending strength, when you feel weak.
It can comfort you when tides turn blue.
The future offers only the prospect of bleak.
It can be your guide ever so true.

Here is my hand, it is yours to forever hold onto.
It can stabilize the weakest with emotional caress.
It carries such love, its always there to comfort you.
It will hold you when in distress.

Here is my hand, a gift for you forever.
It can steady your every fear.
With my hand, a special love will not sever.
It will be there to wipe away every clinging tear.

Here is my hand, ready to hold you tight.
It can guide you when steps seem so heavy.
When pain sends you hurt, it can make you fight.
It can be a soothing bridge, your levee.

Another angel takes flight.

My deepest, most sincere sympathy and condolences to each and every one of you!! Michelle was a fighter, there is no doubt about that! She is now pain free, free to fly in the Heavens and watch over all of you!
We lost our precious Pam on Oct. 7, 2003, so I know what you are going through. There are no words that can ease the pain.
I would just like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam:

If you were a star
That wasn’t expected back
In the universe
For a thousand years,
I’d wait.

If you were the sky
And everyone went inside
When you got sad
And started to rain,
I’d stay.

And if you were a peach
And the world decided to get rid of all peaches,
I’d pick you up,
Put you in my pocket…

AND KEEP YOU……..FOREVER.

I would also like to share, with you and your family, a poem that was put on Pams website:
God's Garden


God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace Be Thine."

It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You are all in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Hi Jacqui,
As i read your journal entry today i cried tears of
both heartache and Joy.Tears of heartache for Michelle and those she left behind and for those who will never know how
precious she was.But the tears of joy are because all her
pain is now over and she is at "Peace" now held closely
in the arms of Jesus..My thoughts and prayers are with you
Jacqui..God Bless You Honey..

Dear Jaqui, I have no words for your immense loss. Michelle suffered for so very long. My heart and all our prayers are with you in this very very hard moment. May God wrap His arms around you. Hugs. Sabrina / Italy

God's Garden
God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace Be Thine."

It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Jax, it is Cheryl. I honestly thought I would never have to place this poem here. Really.
I am very sorry about your loss.
I Cry not for you, but I Cry for me.
I Cry not because you are gone from me, But because you left me behind.
I Cry because, I don't know the beauty and love that you feel and see.
I Cry not because I think your sad, but because I am sad.
I Cry not because the love is gone, but I Cry because my love for you is so strong.
I Cry for me because I wasn't quite ready to give you up.
I Cry not because your not here with me, but because I'm not there with you.
I Cry not that your soul was lifted up to heaven.
I Cry because you left us here on this earth so full of emptiness without you.
I Cry for me every time I think of you.
I Cry for your Dad and your Brother.
I Cry for all of those who loved you so dearly.
I Cry not for you, for where you are.
I Cry for us, for where we are, and that we are not with you. Every tear drop that falls from my eyes, are tears of joy and of gladness that you were such a wonderful part of my life.

I Cry not to be with you, to experience the beauty, the splendor, and the abundance of things wonderful. To know what it's like for everything to be simply perfect.....................

by: Nancie L.White Walkinbeauty
I am so so sorry.
It was because of our kids and this evil disease that we met and became friends. I love you, and am glad you are my friend. I just wish it was not this way.

I am so sorry to read that Michelle has passed away, my friend Kat and I although having never met you or Michelle, had a very special place in our heart for you both. I thought I would sign off and leave you with this poem, Love Viks and Kat on behalf of everyone at Post Pals

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me,


I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.


I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.


But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.


But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.


I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.


I thought of all the yesterdays
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had


If I could re-live yesterday
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.


But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.


And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.


But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne.


He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew


I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.


You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.


But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?


So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

If anything, your last entry sounds more eloquent and straightforward than ever. I've been following Michelle's website for the past four or five months and praying regularly for both of you. I hope that you can feel the love of so many of us that are thinking of you, even from far away. Take care of yourself. I will pray tonight for Michelle's peace, and yours.
Sincerely,

Dearest Jacqui, I found Michelle's site through Katia Solomon's. I am so truly sorry for your situation, Jacqui. I only have one child, a daughter, and can only imagine how I would feel. Please know that God is with you and I pray for a miracle for you. If that is not God's choice, then I pray for a peaceful transition for Michelle. God be with you at this most, most difficult time.

During this heartbreaking time the best you can do is take care of yourself and be there for Michelle. That's all you should concentrate on and it's more than enough! I have to thank you for continuing to bless your readers, like myself, walking down this path of heartache. You are very kind! I will pray for both of you to be shown peace and comfort! God Bless!

Dearest Jacqui~
I have been reading daily waiting for an entry
afraid to say or ask anything
and holding my breath hoping for a miracle
Even though Michele can't see you right now
Her heart knows
As a mom I believe you are 100% in whatever thoughts she has as even though the mned may make her "non-verbal" or "non responsive" it can't do anything to her soul or her spirit or her heart and that dear Jacqui is where you live in her
Just hold h her hand and you will hold her heart
whisper all the things you may want to say into her ear and her spirit will know
Katelynn tells me all the time
"Mom, the kids who become Angels are the lucky ones"
Those are hard words for us moms to hear
but, when I step back away from this fight for a few minutes I know she is right.
These kids have seen too much pain and ugliness in this world and they are going to a place where they will be given new bodies , new minds, where they will laugh and sing and play and live with the Lord until we get to join them
Never will their souls be won over to Satan
We can go to sleep each night knowing they are safely held in the arms of the Lord
I know that can't ease the pain of losing Michele
but, know she will be with you always
know that she takes you with her
know that she will watch over you
and know that
Hers will be the first face , seeking you
when it is time
Much Love
and many many mom to mom hugz
Love Maria and Katelynn

May the Lord's light shine upon her now and always.

My son Jake is not doing well either and you just love them so much that your heart aches for them. I am on my knees begging God to take him one moment and end his suffering here on this earth....the next moment I am on my knees begging God to spare him. It is not right that your sweet little girl has to go through this horrible thing. You are such an awesome mom and you love for her is so evident in your writings.

LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE

Looking for a miracle with faith,
I will not be alone in my dismay.
God’s love holds me close,
Taking my doubts faraway.

God holds me in His caring hands,
Shielding me from every hurt.
He gives me the will to look beyond,
For a miracle with His loving comfort.

Though my road has become rough to bear,
Sickness has invaded the serenity known.
I will look for that miracle with hope,
Knowing I never stand alone.

I know you decision was made with lots of thoughts and considerations. I myself would not want my little girl to suffer when the outcome would not be better for her in anyway. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. No one has the right to judge you for your wishes for your child! And you know how she would want it. My daughter was diagnosed with ALL and we were blessed by lots of prayers that she made it through. BUT there was one time where we thought we had lost her during treatment. Heather has lost many close friends to this terrible thing called "cancer". She has always told me "do not let me live like that" nearing the end of her friends lives. My heart breaks when she says things like that but until you have to live through it others have not right to tell you it's right or wrong. God bless you and your family and I am sorry that this is a road that you have to take. I have added you to my prayer list...

I'm soo sorry you're going through tough times. I hope and pray that Michelle will come out of it. I pray that she'll be healed. I feel that fighting is always the right thing to do, but I also understand that after fighting for just so long you just have to think about what's best. I don't know your exact situation but I pray that your decisions will be made with confidence. I pray that Michelle will start smiling more, don't lose hope!

Jacqui--I wish there were the "right" words to say but I know there isn't any. I don't think that as a Mother myself, I would think any differently than you are right now. We all just want the best for our children & I can't imagine watching my son suffer like you are with your daughter--that has to be the worst thing in the world. That would be the end for me. I wish your family peace & comfort.

Jacqui and family,

Oh how my heart aches for you! I remember those days of trying to decide what is the "righ" or "best" decision. No matter what anyone ever told me there was one comment that still stands clear in my mind. I was told to do what I, the mother, felt was in the best interest of my daughter. Noone knew better than I did. I am going to give that same advice to you. Shell is your baby, no matter her age, and you would never do anything to harm her. So, if you choose to continue treating things or choose to let God take control there is no right or wrong answer here. You are guided by your heart and Shell knows that you would always put her needs and comfort first. If you did something that you felt was "right" to others around you then when something does happen to Shell you will regret it for the rest of your life. Your daughter doesn't want that for you.

I can say this easily enough because I have been there and made those heart wrenching choices. I know though that my daughter, Irene, always knew I was doing what was best for her. There is no reason to put yourself through the pain and torment of watching your daughter feel ill over and over again. It's not callousness or cruelty to say enough is enough, what we have left is all I am going to have, I want her to feel comfortable. However she may reach that comfort is what is best for her.

I am sorry I have rambled on, if you ever feel the need or want to talk I am an email away.

Hi, I visit your site every so often to check in on you. I came from Katia's site originally and find I have a lot in common with you. I must tell you I admire your strength and courage. You are facing decisions no one else could ever imagine unless they walked in your shoes. I rececived a lot of advice in my travels with my daughter's fight with cancer and I believe the words that bring me the most comfort are knowing that you are making decisions based on what you know to be of the best interest for your daughter and never look back and second guess yourself.
In Life we do not have the luxury to write our own scrips or we would never be here discussing this. But since we do not get to always direct our course we can only turn it over to God and let him take control. He knows what he's doing and I still say some day when (and IF I'm lucky enough) to see Him I have a few words for Him!! Maybe it will all make sense then and we will just have to trust.
God bless you and your sweet girl. Prayers are coming your way, Cathy

I admire your unselfishness. I know that had to be one of the most difficult decisions you have had to make, but that you were only thinking about what is best for your daughter. No one wants to see someone we love suffer, and when the quality of life is no longer there, it is time to question how hard to fight. You are an amazingly strong mom and I will look forward to your next update. Know that there are daily prayers being said for your whole family.

I came here from Katia's site. I can tell from reading that you are a good Mother and you will do what is best for your daughter. I think the golden rule applies here do unto others as you would have them do unto you.... a Mother's heart tells us what is best for each child. I have you and your family in my prayers it is a hard road that no one wants to travel.

Hello Jacqui. It's so good to finally get some news about Michelle. I was always checking this site when I would go visit Katia's site. I know how awful and helpless you are feeling right now. It is just torture to see your child suffer in front of your eyes. I pray to God that Michelle not have any pain. My heart just goes out to you and your family at such a horrible time. May God give you strength and comfort.

Relieved to hear that Michelle is still pain free.
Nobody else can say what they would do in your situation.
I would think the same as you probably but who knows....
Gemma has finished treatment so now it's just waiting and hoping.
Give a kiss to Michelle from all at this end.
Thinking of you always.

Dear Jacqui, I have just finished reading your journal about precious Michelle. The tears continue to flow as I write this. You and Michelle have shared more love in the past few months, than some people have in a lifetime. You have done such a great job of honoring each other. Marsella also sounds like quite a young lady.

You have been asked to make decisions that no mom should ever have to agonize over. I'm so glad that Michelle was able to be part of that process for as long as she could, and I admire your ability to give her the strength and courage to help make those choices.

My prayers are with all of you as you continue through this horrible process. May God hold you very tight. Know that at least one church here in Oregon will offer prayers this Sunday.

Hi Jacqui - don't ever second guess yourself at your job as a mom. Your heart is in control and no one else should have any influence on what you feel when it comes to such decisions. Whatever happens, we will be praying for you, Michelle and Julian. By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIAN! You have a beautiful family and like I tell myself... okay, that sounds really bad from someone in my shoes... I swear that I don't talk to myself... often anyway :) Love will see us through anything and it's obvious that you love Michelle immensely! As moms, we are always risking ourselves to make the right decisions in the best interest of our children and as we see fit. With everything I do, there are other options and thoughts and we just have to trust our hearts. I just can't believe how very beautiful Michelle is and what a beautiful relationship that you share. In all this hell, we're not alone and thank you for sharing your story. Hang on,

Dear Jaqui,
our society has long lost two major values : respect and dignity. They don't come cheap. On the contrary, the bill is always very very high, sometimes so high money isn't the issue. Sometimes, a Mother's insticts are far more right that any doctor or treatment. Respect and dignity. Easy to spell, difficult to remember and put into practice. I hope you will be following your instincts. Sometimes, they're all we have left. We keep praying for your Michelle. HUGS

Hey ladies. It is I! Hey Jax, did you know that I am now a moderator at The Care To Share? I felt bad when I had to ask Jessica for the link to the sight. Especially since my xp had crashed and I was on a different computer. I could not find the place for the life of me and was sad. So, when she asked me if I wanted to be a mod, I told her YES! But I needed the link. I have been looking for you , but I understand why you have not been by there. I requested that someone send you the link and was told that someone had.
I could keep babbling inanaely here because you said that was somthing you liked. Distraction I guess....
I am sorry I have not been by as often as I used to be. I am working on getting back into the swing of things here.
I just wanted to tell you that I am thinking of you and hope things are peacful. Much love to you and yours.

I have found your site on someone elses caringbridge site and I had to come and check yours out...I hope you don't mind. Well I am 14 years old and I have Acute Lmphcytic Leukemia. So I don't exactly know what you are going through but if you ever need someone to talk to, I am here. I know how chemo can treat you, I have been through enough of that, so email me anytime, and I would love to talk with you.

My heart and prayers are with you. I know what a lousy time this is for you.. My daughter lost her baby at 11 weeks old in a car crash, so I understand the anquish of having someone prepare you to make arrangements.. it is so unreal.. I did that for my grandson, as my daughter was also injured in the crash. I understand your feelings of anger, as no parent ever thinks they will have to go through this .. it doesn't feel like the normal way of life.. parents expect to pass first. It is ok to feel so angry.. it is a normal way to feel. I am sending you prayer and strength.. I love your pictures.. They are so eloquent is showing the love and bond you two have, and also the strength that is in you. Thinking of you.. Pam

I believe that there is no stronger relationship here on earth than that of a mom and a child. You were the first to feel Michelle's movements when you were pregnant with her and your bond has only grown stronger since then. I am so sorry for the suffering that you and your daughter are going through and my prayer is for strength and mercy and the peace that only Jesus can bring. God bless you as you care so lovingly for Michelle in the time of her greatest need. You are a wonderful mama.

I had originally planned to visit as many caringbridge sites as possible, and leave some encouraging words, prior to my daughters passing. Unfortunately her passing came sooner than we had expected, but longer than any of her doctors expected.

Another angel takes flight.

My daughter Pam had a brain tumor and was fighting the fight since November 4th, 2002, after the birth of her daughter (Casey Morgan). My youngest daughter, Karen, set up a caringbridge website for Pam. Karen's friends mother shared a prayer with us, that I would like to share with you and Michelle. It's called DON'T QUIT:
Don't Quit -
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit - Rest if you must, but do not quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.(Just call on Jesus).

I would also like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam:

If you were a star
That wasn’t expected back
In the universe
For a thousand years,
I’d wait.

If you were the sky
And everyone went inside
When you got sad
And started to rain,
I’d stay.

And if you were a peach
And the world decided to get rid of all peaches,
I’d pick you up,
Put you in my pocket…

AND KEEP YOU……..FOREVER.

Prayers have scientifically been proven to work.

REMEMBER NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT. You are in our prayers. GOD bless you all.

Hi Jacqui - I linked over here from Savannah's site and I only wish that I had seen the link before. I wanted to let you know that I'll be adding your family to my prayers and that I'll be thinking about you very often and sending my most positive thoughts your way. I would like to link to your site through my journal and on my little one's site. If you don't want me to, please just let me know. We have been asked to sign DNR forms and things looked horrible at a couple of times for us and those were the darkest days of my life. My little one is only 4 but beyond her years and very much my best friend. I tell myself each day that I cannot ever lose her. Living each day in that shadow is never easy and I pray that your sweet Michelle is in no pain and that you may find some peace in all this. From reading your journals, she has been such a fighter through all this and you are such an inspiring mom. I don't know how to tell you to hang on but I'll hope and pray that you'll find a way in peace somehow. May all the angels in heaven wrap you in their arms. (((HUGS))) and love,

Hello. I have a friend who has a child with neuroblastoma and I looked at the site of other children/teenagers who also have this disease and saw your daughter's web site. I just want you to know I am praying for your daughter, you and your other children. May God Bless You through this journey, and although your earthly family is not here to support you, God is. Even though at times, I am sure it has not seemed so. He will never leave you nor forsake you. It is also my prayer that your daughter passes peacefully. I work at a Hospice and I know she can still hear you...she knows you are there. She can feel your touch. God's blessings to you all.

Hey lady. You know me. If I was on my regular computer, I would leave you guys a picture or somthing.
I do not know if yo are visitng NCCS (The care to share) because I lost my link there ....If you now have it, if you get a chance, please send it to me...
IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU!!!!
PLEASE! DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK ME!!!!
My heart is breaking for you.
I guess you can find some comfort in the fact that your son could comunicate with you. And tell you exactly how he feels is a tribute to how you are as a mother. You made your kids feel it is okay to express grief to you and feel it is safe to tell you what they would need in order to 'heal'. And you listened. I have no idea what I would be like if Aizee left us. I just can not really fully imagine the h*** that you guys must be suffering. I wish I could take it all away from you. All I can do is read what you write and be there for you when you need me. I listen to a Lot of NIN. That helps get some mental aggression out.
My Hugs and Heart, Love and Prayers and HOPE go out to you and yours.

My heart just goes to out to you. Hi, there. I got your site from Katia's site @ caringbridge. Its the hardest thing in the world for a parent to plan funeral arrangements for their children. We are supposed to go before them. I know a little of what you must feel. My little girl (3 1/2) also has cancer-brain tumor. I agonized with her leaving us as well. There is no other pain like it.I just can only pray to God to be there for you and your daughter. I am sorry I can't say or do anymore. I also pray your daughter does not have to endure any more pain.

How you doing today, hon? Excellent I hope!

You don't even know how happy it makes me to hear you're resting comfortably and are free of pain. Even if it's just for the moment, it's something, right? I'm hoping and praying you'll continue to remain pain free, hon. You certainly are a strong girl and I'm sure everyone in your family is VERY proud of you. They should be!

I hope you have a wonderful, pain free weekend!

Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!!

It was not too long ago that my family was experiencing what you are now with your beloved daughter, Michelle. Our three year old daughter, Cameryn, passed away on November 18th after a courageous battle with a brain tumor. I remember too well how difficult it is to go through those final days. Please know that you are giving Michelle a huge gift by being with her and helping her make her transition. It is a difficult but brave choice, and they can and do find peace in the end - as will you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jacqui: That was a good thing that Julian and you had that talk. He really needed to release that. And I think moving would probably be a good thing, for I can certainly understand his feelings about that. Just wanted to stop by and sign in and let you know I am thinking of you. I was so at peace to read that Michelle was NOT in pain at this time. My heart so breaks for you, it is unimaginable what you are going through. God bless, Eileen

Dear Jacqui,
From Pennsylvania, USA to where you are~please know prayers and thoughts of courage are being sent your way. Michelle is apart of bridging a gap between those who fight the fight and those who support the cause and cure. You may have learned courage and strength throughout this horrible fight~the kind of courage and strength others have not.
Knowledge is so important and to some people that knowledge is too scary or difficult for them to understand.
I will continue to pray for peace and understanding for you and all who are close to you. God Bless you and your family everyday as you face a most challenging time.

i continue to pray for you and Michelle and i will pray for God to comfort you in your time of feeling so alone. i'm so sorry that you're not feeling support from your family..maybe they're just afraid of sickness or are too wrapped up in their own worlds to see that others could really use them about now. before i came into the picture my now husband had to go thru his 10 yr old daughter getting brain cancer and when they found out she had it he came home to having his significant other be gone with all her belongings. i guess she just was around for fun and couldn't handle anything serious going on. i know it devistated all of them to have her leave them like that but her loss is my gain i guess! i just know from his stories how it feels to be so terribly alone when going thru your child's life threatening illness. we thank God every day that Cindy is 3 yrs cancer free now but i think with all of the quirky things she still has wrong with her after the cancer..surgery..radiation and chemo that it's God's way of making me see that i need to continue thanking Him daily for Cindy's life and what she is able to do. it's a daily struggle to try to get her anywhere near caught up to what other 14 yr olds are doing but with God's help in keeping her healthy and giving me patience...we'll be victorious!

my prayers will continue for both of you.

Hi Michelle & Jacqui,
I read your entry a while back but I'm sorry I just didn't have time to post a message. I know how you feel having no support from your family, I have been down that road too. I know it is totally different for me as Sam is doing so great but at the time we were told Sam was going to die & who cared, hardly anyone. I honestly believe some were even dissapointed he didn't die, at least then they could have had some attention from people with their crocodile tears. I know of so many people from the hospital that are in the same situation where no one seems to care. Who needs family like that anyway it is only them that lose out in my eyes. Remember you have many friends through caringbridge etc who all care. We don't have to be here we come because we want to & because we care about you. I'm sure I speak for us all we are only an e mail away if you ever want to talk. I know its not the same as having someone you love with you but I hope its a good second best.
take care
Sara

Hello and I wish you a blessed New Year! I can't believe that you have been so disappointed by the lack of support that you have been shown. I wish I could change that for you and your beautiful daughter! Noone deserves to fight this horrible disease, much less to feel alone while doing it! The people letting you and your dear one down should be ashamed of themselves! I am sorry that we live in a world where people don't give more of themselves! I sure hope that these people read your webpage and know how they've hurt you! They deserve nothing less than the guilt your feelings should inspire! You are right to feel let down and I wish it weren't so. You will have no regrets, but others will. It will hopefully come back to haunt them. When they are low, for whatever reason, I hope they think about all they could have done for you and know that you get what you give. They say it's never too late to change. That is not true. Time is ticking and there isn't always tomorrow. I hope the support that you get from your webpage and prayers that are sent up can sustain you. I will be praying and checking in often. God Bless!

God grant us this year a wider view,
So we see others' faults through the eyes of You;
Teach us to judge not with hasty tongue,
Neither the adult ... nor the young.

Give us patience and grace to endure
And a stronger faith so we feel secure;
And instead of remembering, help us forget
The irritations that caused us to fret.

Freely forgiving for some offense
And finding each day a rich recompense,
In offering a friendly, helping hand
And trying in all ways to understand,
That all of us whoever we are ...
Are trying to reach "an unreachable star."

For the great and small ... the good and bad,
The young and old ... the sad and glad,
Are asking today, "Is life worth living?"
And the answer is only in "loving" and "giving."

For only "Love" can make man kind
And Kindness of Heart brings Peace of Mind,
And by giving love we can start this year
To lift the clouds of hate and fear.

~*~*~*Michelle -- My prayers are always with you, hon. Please know you're also thought of VERY often in my house.

I can only imagine your pain. I too experienced some of the anger you speak of, when I felt so alone as my daughter was going through her trials of chemo and radiation. Some extended family she loved stayed away. I don't know their reasons, and never will. Trying to accept them where they were helped me. Know that you are not alone. There are many praying for you as you go through this difficult time. God is with you, holding you up and comforting Ashley on her journey.

Dear Jacqui,

I came by again to see how you are doing and read your journal about family not seeing Michelle. This is an odd thing but I can tell you that you are not alone. (As God is always with us.) Although we had some very, very supportive and loving family members, some of my siblings and my husband's siblings rarely visited our two year old Gabbie as she slowly died. I can tell you that some people care and some people don't. Only one of my four brothers ever spoke to Gabbie during hospital visits. I am so grateful for that one brother.

Anyway, I am also so sorry you have to go through this at all. It is so hard to watch your child suffer from cancer.

God bless you,

Oh Jaqui~
My heart goes out to you. Ours has been a long journey too and I know what you mean. Everyone seems to fade into the background.
I often have nightmares that all these people come to the funeral and I am screaming at them for showing up.
I try to make myself believe that they just can't deal with it...
One thing about caringbridge is I know we all wish we could be there with you, wrap our arms around you and share your journey every minute of it.
I am sure the people who sign the books and bring so much love and courage to us who are not going through this feel the same way.
The only sight i know is chubbychica.org
Cheryl is going thru a real tough time so you may wish to email her directly.
Praying for both of you
you are in our hearts

Hello, i read this poem on Katias webpage and it sums a lot up, I have been trying to think of what to say in your guestbook, trying to find some words of comfort, or some that could take a little of your pain away, but i cant. You are how ever always in my thoughts x

IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS

Often in times of trouble
we don't know what to say,
So we choose to say nothing,
and sometimes run away.
When friends are really hurting,
we don't know what to do,
So we offer weak excuses
or say we're hurting too.

It really doesn't matter
what kind of gift we bring;
We only need to be there
if we don't bring a thing.

It truly is amazing
what a hug can do,
When heartache numbs the senses,
and friends depend on you.

There's comfort just in knowing
that you are not alone,
When tears are overflowing,
and hearts are cold as stone.

It's the loving prayers of others
that balance our accounts,
For when we measure love,
it's still the thought that counts.

I really am so sorry for you all. I don't know what else to say.
Obviously I don't KNOW how you feel, it's probably much worse than I can even imagine.
I too wish we were nearer, blood doesn't mean family, as you know to your expense.
So sad, sad, sad, sad.
Bad enough, but to have to cope on your own is just terrible.
Sending you lots of love and kisses

Hi Jacqui. The Care To Share! I knew right away what you were talking about! :)
Unfortunantly, my explorer is not working right. So, I can not cut and paste the link. I did however write a post there for someone from there to come here and give you the exact address.
But, I think if you enter that title in your search engine, that will be one of the sight options!
I agree with you about the family thing. I would never let a family member suffer alone like that. I can relate though. Robs family are wonderful people. All of them are there. Even distant relatives that he hardly knows! His entire extended family have been so supportive. But they all live back East. My folks are here and they hel. But, other than that, no one else on my side of the family has botherd to call or anything.
If I lived there, I would be there to help you guys out in a heart-beat!
I am sorry that her pain is worse and that she needs increased meds. I hope she does not have a virus. Fingers crossed.
I wish I could give you some sort of comfort! Let me know if someone gives you that link or not! If not, I will try to find the original address for you.
Hugs and Hope, Love and Prayers to you from us! QOL

Dear Jacqui,

I cannot recall how I found your site. I am so sorry for what you are going through with Michelle and Neuroblastoma. One of my favorite Max Lucado quotes regarding God is, "Know that He can; Hope that He will."

I do know that Neuroblastoma is an awful cancer. Again, I am so sorry that you are going through this. I will say a special prayer tonight for Michelle.

God bless,

Oh, I apologize for not being by for so long although I think about you guys all the time. I saw your entry in Katia's guestbook the other day and I am just getting by. I am so saddened that things have turned around the way they have. I am so sorry. I know how difficult this must be to sit and watch Michelle. I can't imagine how she feels when she must rely on you for so much but I know her heart must be so full of overwhelming love and admiration for you. I feel the that for you just reading your entry. Please, can you email any of your updates so I can stay updated. I am posting a link on Katia's page for prayers for Michelle. God bless you. Love, Tracy

I found your site through Aizees. I am so sad for your pain. I always whipser in Maxie's ear I wish I could take his tumor from him. And he whispers back this is what God wants momma. "He doesn't mean to hurt me." It just swells a lump in my throat that he can be at peace. I wouldn't stop caring for him if it took a year. I love him and wouldn't know how to let go. So I think I understand how you feel. How long do they need to feel bad? He seems to worry about me and rubs me more than normal. They become so brave and so strong. I am thinking of you and your wonderful Michelle. Take care and remember the laughs she has given you. www.caringbridge.org/va/maxie/

I wish you could convince her she is not a burden. ALl of us know that we would be there forever for our kids, NO MATTER WHAT!!! Just trying to convince them of that is so hard.

I am sorry she is in so much pain. Maybe she is frustrated with things she used to like and enjoy as a protective action. She is afraid and that can make anyone a bit of a grouch. OR she is frustrated that she does not have the opportuity to move on from those points. I don't know. All I know is that you guys are very close in my heart and I think of you often.

Hi Jaqui & Michelle. I found your journal via Kat's diary, & I wanted to send you both huuuge (but very gentle!) hugs. I know that there's nothing I could possibly say that wíll take your pain away, no matter how much I wish that wasn't so. I've been ill for 12yrs, & I've felt like I've had it tough. Although this will understandably be of no comfort to you, reading your diary has reminded me that so many people, have it so much tougher than me. I can't tell you how much I admire you both. Michelle - I wish you a calm & peaceful Christmas (at least). Jacqui - I think your fab. Your diary has given me an insight into how my own mum must feel at times, & I DO tend to forget. Please know that you have so many people thinking of you & your family. People that you know, & people that you don't. If only love & good wishes could heal us, we'd all have been better years ago! I'm sending you lots of love & healing thoughts, Jessie. x

Dear Jacqui and Michelle! I am so saddened by your situation! I don't want to think about how badly I would and will feel (probably) when I walk the path that you are on. It isn't fair and we can only hope some day it will be all make sense someday, lonnnggg, looonnnggg, away, when it is explained by the God that we curse today. What could possibly make it understandable? I have no clue, but I have to believe that there is a reason. I will keep you both in my thoughts and pray for some peace during this season and I will check in often, hoping my prayers are answered. What else can we do?

Hello Michelle this is the first time I've read your story. I was so saddened by what I read. My heart just aches and goes out to you and your mom. May God watch over you. I will pray for you. You sound like you have a great mom to care for you. I don't know much of what else to say. I also looked after my daughter as she fought after each chemo and after her transplant. Your mom loves you very much. Don't feel ashamed. She's your mom, she's not going to love you any less.

You have every right to get as angry as you want. You have every reason to.
I know once you said that people should put in recipes and the like, just put somthing. I do not have any recipies at the moment. But, I do have this poem that was given to me by a dear friend. I will put it here for you now.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS

IF I COULD GIVE YOU LOVELY GIFTS

TO MAKE GLAD YOUR CHRISTMAS DAY,

I WOULD NOT GIVE YOU A SINGLE ONE.

I'D TAKE SOME THINGS AWAY.

I WOULD TAKE AWAY ALL YOUR SORROWS

ALL PAIN AND DOUBT AND FEARS.

I'D TAKE AWAY THE LONELY HOURS

THAT WOULD COME THROUGHTOUT THE YEAR.

I WOULD TAKE AWAY ALL UNKIND WORDS

THAT MAKE YOUR HEARTACHES DEEP.

I'D TAKE YOUR WORRIES AND YOUR CARES,

THESE I WOULD NOT KEEP.

YOU SEE INSTEAD OF LOVELY GIFTS,

"IF I ONLY COULD"

I'D TAKE AWAY FROM YOU ALL THE BAD THINGS

AND LEAVE ROOM FOR ALL THE GOOD.

Hope Shell is doing okay, and you too.
Won't be long till Xmas. Every advert Jordan sees on telly he wants it!! He's going to be in for a shock. He never really plays with anything anyway. Pulls all the toys out, plays for 5 mins. then walks away.

Hi Jacqui & Michelle,
I just dropped in to say thanks for signing Sams guestmap! I'm sorry you are feeling down at the moment Jacqui, it is not selfish it is what living day in day out with cancer does to you. It would help if others who haven't experienced this were a little more understanding, I know I went through the same thing when Sam was very ill. People don't get it do they?! I hope you start to have some better days soon.
Sendidng prayers to you all,

Jacqui, My name is Melissa and I am a secretary at a childrens oncology hospital in Greenville, South Carolina USA. I have read Michelles story from the beginning. It is so close to me because she looks so much like my daughter,Kori. She is also about the same age. Im not sure how Michelle is doing right now..but I hope she is doing ok. I would love to keep in touch with you and share pictures of our families. I am praying for you and Michelle. God is in control of the things that we have no control over. Have faith that he is there even when you think he is not. Tell Michelle that there is a lady in America that is truly inspired by her strength. I will be praying for you. If you are able, I would love to hear from you.

You are silly. No way are you selfish. You are human. Everyone needs a breather. Regardless. In fact, I think it would help everyone. So, plan a night out with friends. After a little break, you will most likely beable to regroup. And be able to focus better.
Or take a long bath and tell everyone not to bother you for like 2 hours. Bring in a new book, TORRID ROMANCE or somthing. With a glass of wine.
If you do not take care of yourself, you will not be able to fully function in the way that you need to. Thems the facts lady!
This is one reason I stay up at night. When all the kids are actually asleep, I stay up a bit and watch really bad t.v.. I have no idea why this helps me, but it does. And, Rob and I catch a movie at least once a month.
YOur mind and soul are going through a lot of heartache now. Maybe this is why you feel such a need to get out. So, they can settle down and have a moment to come to peace with the situation.
About your sister, I am sorry, but most family members really have no idea. They do not live it like you do.
I am very sorry to hear she is so sick. I hope that this medicine is still an option.
How fun with the hair. We have pink hairspray and the girls love it.
Wow, dating, I am terrified of that prospect! My kids are only 5, 3 and 18months. But still, they have grown to those ages very quickly. I know that they will be teenagers before I want them to be.YIKES!
Take care of yourself lady. You are doing a fabulouse job with your kids. Don't forget about you.
Prayers and Hope, Hugs and Love to you from us.

Dear Jacqui,
Isn't it always amazing when you share thoughts with others, you find out they have had or have the same feelings, the world over......my daughter's 15 year old pal leaves today to begin chemo for CML, I can't stand that its all these young people and I can't stand what's ahead for her. Wish to set the clock back before a child in my life had cancer and live my old life,,,,,that is not to be. I think of you daily and pray for you to have strength and your beautiful daughter not to have pain. Love from over here-

Hi Jacqui and Michelle

Dear Lord, cancer is a mystery and a
darkness we do not understand.
Help us to face that mystery and darkness
with courage and strength.
Uphold us as we walk into that mystery
and darkness with your loving arms.
Break the darkness with your heavenly light.
Light the way with comfort for those
who have suffered loss.
Light the way with strength and
closeness for families as they cope
Light the way with wisdom and discernment
for those who administer care.
Light the way with knowledge for those seeking the cure.
Light the way with compassion and
tenderness for all those touched by this illness.
Help us not to let the uncertainty of the future
rob us from the joy of the present.
Teach us to live each moment to the fullest.
Mystery can lead to wonder,
and wonder into joy.
Heavenly Father, Lead us into joy.
In the prescious name of Jesus....Amen

You are both in my prayers
All my love

I just wanted to come by and say hi.
We got two new kittens. Do not expect this to be mentioned on Aizees page anytime soon. All of our families would feak. Oh well. When they do find out, then I will write about it.
One is a black and gray tabby. That is Aizees kitty. SHe has wanted one for SO long. She named it Kitty Sheshire. Meaning Cheshire. Brianna's is an Orange and white tabby. She named it Blossom. If there had been a third one, Remy would have gotten one as well. She is the biggest animal lover. Funny, she is about 18 months and she is into all living things. She waves to horses, she talks to flys. She loves our dogs. The other two love animals, but Remy is more into it.
Taz, our older kitty is a bit peeved. He'll get over it. I am bribing him with Tuna! :)
So, the kids are all asleep and the kitties are whooping it up! What fun. Kittens are so fun to watch play together!
Love and Hugs, Hope and Prayers to you from us.

Jacqui,
I'm so glad your answer came to you, by way of Michelle, on what to do about the medications. Don't beat yourself up over how she may have thought you'd just let her die. I'm SURE she knows you want to do what is best for her AND what she wants. I'm sure she would have spoken up if she felt any other way. Jacqui, you're doing a great job, the best you can under these circumstances. Don't second guess yourself and give yourself and Michelle more credit. God bless and good luck.

Dear Michelle and Jacqui,
My son too has nb. I wish I could offer advice but I have none. I am praying for you both. I am praying too that the devine intervention, you had mentioned, will come. I wish I could help in some way! I guess I can pray and pray hard! Sending you both a hug.

With Love, Debbie Hume

Hi Michelle & Family,
I got your address from my NB Group. Michelle
when you feel like it e-mail me and I will give
you a web page with many of our NB children on it.
There is a boy that is a senior this year that is
on the our group and a few more older children.
I am so sorry that you can't eat right now. Keep your
faith and try real hard to get some food down. You are
a beautiful girl. You will be in my prayers. Thanks for
letting me stop by to say Hi" I will keep a check on you.

Hi Jacqui,
Good to read an update although hoped for better news.
I remember last year Gemma was in hospital and had a high fever which just wouldn't go away. They wanted another scan done of her tummy. They brought in the machine to her room as she couldn't move.
I couldn't stay in the room. I did try but when the docs. started to point to the screen and mumble together I flipped my lid and went looking for a nurse to sit with Gemma.
They found nothing but the fear just took me over.
So can't even imagine how you must have felt. You are one brave lady, you must take from Shell!!!!!!
If you give me the name of that new drug I can see if I find any info. in Italian about it.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Remember to give me your e-mail address where I can get in touch with you.

Man, you have had the time of it haven't you! I hope those patches do the trick.
I can not imagine what was going through your head as you saw the scans going on. I am tearing up just thinking about it!
I think about you guys all of the time. Man, I could go on a rant here, but I will save it for the board.
I will tell about the raccoon in our tree instead.
Our dogs chased somthing outside, last night. Up a tree. I was afraid it was the neighbors cat. I got a flashlight and low and behold, neat glowing blue eyes peering at me from behind a bandit mask, and a pretty ringed tail.
Raccoons are so adorable. Like Porcupines. They have cut faces. Anyway, he was all snugged into a bowl of the tree. Right outside of Aizee and Brianna's window. IT was gone this morning. After snitching the dogs food. Serves 'em right! :)
Prayers and Hope, Love and Hugs to you from us.

Hiya Shell,
How are you doing?
Was that picture of you in your school uniform?
I used to hate my uniform. Here in Italy kids wear whatever they like to school.
Good for them but I believe parents would like a school uniform, much easier and costs less.
Jacqui, I'd like to answer your e-mail but don't know whether to sent it to the address on this page or the one on the e-mail. Let me know.
Hope you're doing okay.

Hello Jacqui,
Through Michaela Mease's web page I came acrossed yours.
Isn't it amazing how the world can be brought closer through the computer! Like Michaela, I live in Pennsylvania,USA! I have a son who will be 13 in November and a daughter who is 6! Everyday I start my morning checking in on Micheala and her friend Tucker and then I say alittle prayer. When I start my day like this it reminds me of how precious life is. Through caringbridge I have read stories of courage, strength, and faith beyond what I am sure I would be capable of. So many times people go about their day and forget that children and families face very difficult situations. Maybe by saying a small prayer in the morning or typing a hello to someone who lives thousands of miles away, just might make a difference. So with that being said, I will keep you close in thought and prayer as I start my day. Our countries maybe miles away but our hearts filled with faith can be right next door!
God Bless!

I am not a religious person and have often wondered about all this praying for a miracle.
As I see it if God is going to call you it must be because He has already decided. Surely He already knows how much that person is loved and needed etc.
Plus it wouldn't make much sense that somebody is granted that Miracle and another not. But the, what does make sense?????
Jacqui, pleased to read a better update, I was so worried.
I don't know if you got my e-mail. If you did, don't hesitate to ask.

Jacqui,
I had a "revelation" similar to yours a few years ago. My Aunt and a very dear friend of mine both had breast cancer. Ella, my friend, was very evangelistic. She said "I won't let the devil let Chemo make me lose my hair"...she lost her hair. "I won't let the devil take my breast". She had to have it removed because it was too big for just a lumpectomy. "I won't let the devil let this cancer kill me". She passed away about 3 years ago. I asked her once, aware of the prayers and promises she made for herself and my Aunt was now in the same boat, I asked...Ella, do you still pray for miracles? She said "No, His will be done and I pray for mercy". It's a tough one to wrestle with. My Aunt is gone now too despite her awesome faith and she gave His praises right up until the end. We have free will and therefore, God has to let things run it's course yet He will always be there for us, just not in the way we always think. I still pray for miracles but mostly I pray for mercy. Lord, please keep Michelle out of pain.

Amen, Deirdre <Deirdre@rochester.rr.com>

I clicked a friend's diary link and visited your site. I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are going through all of this, both of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love a little boy with all my heart who died recently, and I have just come back from his funeral today. He was 11. He was special like Michelle is special, from what I read about her in your journal. I am learning that people like this seem to leave their strength behind for people to draw on, because they don't need to take it with them when they go to a place full of love and joy and peace and colour and life. So I pray that you will find strength through Michelle's own specialness after she is gone. What a lovely young lady she sounds. I am looking forward to meeting her one day when it's my turn. Much love to you both, from Alice xxx

As I sit here typing, I can feel the tears welled up in my eyes. I'm not only touched at the wonderful daughter you have but the amazing mother you are. I have no idea how I would react to hearing Michelle's words being her mother but know that it would also give the continued strength needed to care for that miniature garden. My prayers are with you both and God willing Michelle will conquer this horrible beast and show the world some new statistics.

All my love and prayers...

Jacqui,
Gemma and I have just finished reading your update, sitting side by side. I felt her tears wet my arm as we read. Both of us sat here crying as we read.
Dear God, why should this terrible thing happen to a girl like Shell???? Where is the justice in all this. I know there must be some devine plan and all that but it is just hearbreaking that a 15 year old should have to comfort her mum because she will have to leave her.
But just remember you brought Shell up to be as she is. You should be proud of yourself as well as being proud of her 'cause some of the merit is certainly yours.
And the fact that she loves you so very much is great. She is a wonderful daughter but you too are a wonderful mother.
I am heartbroken for you. GEMMA'S JOURNAL

Michelle,
I have never signed your guestbook before, and I honestly couldn't tell you how I ever found your page...but here I am. It makes me so sad to read of your journey and the battles you have endured. I wish I could take your pain away and make it my own. I just had to tell you that you are an incredible young lady ~ you amaze me with your courage, strength, and love. You have, and will continue to, impacted so many lives. Don't shy away from telling your mom what you are thinking. Although I'm not a mother (I'm only 21), I know from my experiences with my mom that they need to know what is going on in our lives. A parent's love is like no other.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you...and sending you hugs from across the pond.

As a mom myself let me tell you that your mom NEEDS to hear what you are feeling and thinking. I know you are afraid of hurting her but she will want so badly to have known things when you do go to heaven. You are evrything to her and you need to tell her everything, EVERYTHING. I know if it were me I would HAVE to know. Please sweetie, let it all out and cleanse yourself. Do it for you AND your mum. God bless.

Michelle-
Girlfriend, you are selling yourself awfully short. The love that you share with your mom and siblings and friends and relatives is more powerful than anything else in this world. Your love is an energy and it cannot be destroyed, it can transform and it has and will continue to do so forever and ever. The love that people feel from you grows stronger and stronger. It empowers them to hold more love in their heart and share more love with people in their lives...your love has momentum...
You are one amazing lady and I wish that there were not miles and an ocean between us, as I would love to personally meet you, but even without a face to face visit, you have entered my soul...I am better because of your story of courage and grace...
Your nieces and nephews will know your hugs and love, because it will follow them every day in their lives...
I hope that you find an outlet for your feelings, someone to share your fears and with someone you can finally realize that you are just the best...You are loved...can think of anything better!
All my love,

Sara

You're so right, life is cruel, a real bast... sometimes.

It's just so cruel and really heartbreaking, I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling.

Praying for you and Michelle. God Bless.

You would think that parents, or anybody for that matter, fighting to save someone's life would have like a free pass from other crap in life for a while! You use your energy for Michelle because that is what is important and fight the other battles as you see fit:) We are praying for you. Love, Tracy

Well done Marsella, I used to be hopeless at Scence when I went to school (quite a few years ago). I remember when we had a class test I sometimes didn't even read the question, just crossed an "A" then maybe a "C" etc. etc. Marsella must be about 100 times better than me, and a prefect too. Wow, I was NEVER a Prefect. I'm starting to feel quite sorry for myself now!!!!!
Remember when Julian and his group become very famous and all the girls scream for them, we want at least a signed CD. Okay?
Michelle, wish I could have seen a photo after you had done your hair.Isn't mum mean? I would have given you 10 out of 10.
Hope your enjoying school, sorry you're having some pain. You are such a brave girl.
Talk to you soon.

Hiya,
Your update is so true.
When I first found the Caringbridge sites, thru Gooch's page, I searched for somebody with the same type of Leukemia as Gemma. I did find one girl, Amanda who is doing very well too.
Now it's not important who or what our kids have. We all love our kids and are all living the same fear of losing them.
That's what it all boils down to.
I too am amazed that strangers (although not really) actually take the time to sign Guestbooks etc.
"You'll never walk alone".
Hope things are going well today.

Michelle-
You have a super cool mom...I know sometimes when you are a teenager it is hard to always see it, but I am sure that with all the love and support that you get in big and small ways everyday, you have this figured out already...
The fact that she opened her heart and her home to Marsella fortifies my belief, and the one she posts today: There are good people in the world!!!!
If there is one thing that I have come to find out through the journey with my niece, Maddie, we are not alone...When my nephew was diagnosed 5-6 years ago, with osteosarcoma, there was not caringbridge, and in a very real way this is our lifeline...we share ideas, we share hope, we share tears, we share encouragement!!! Your mom is doing a great job, and it shows in her writing that you are one awesome yourng woman!!!
Cheers to you Michelle. There is always hope!

I also think everything happens for a reason. I have become much closer to Gemma since she was diagnosed. I don't think I really knew her before. You know how it is with school, coping with 3 kids, house, husband. There never seemed to be any time to actually sit down and talk. I've learned so many things from this experience. But I must admit if I could go back in time I'd rather have Gemma a non cancer victim and not know her as well as I do now. But time goes forward not backwards so we'll just have to get on with it and pray for the best.
love Sandra

Just dropping in to say hello.
You know since reading lots of the Caringbridge stories (yours included) I can now say that I'm glad that Gemma ONLY has leukemia. When she was diagnosed I thought this was the worst illness that she could possibly have. I didn't even know that other childhood cancers existed. Ignorance was bliss.
Gemma also takes a vitamin "A" based med as part of her treatment for APL. It's calles Vesanoid and I heard that it could be a success in curing other types of Cancer.

I guess there are those who never express how much they hurt for variouse reasons. I mean, either they are afraid that no one will believe them, or in your case, that it will worry you.
YOu are a fabulouse mom. You can only go by what she tells you. I hope I have such a deep and wonderful relationship with my girls as they get older!

Jacqui I saw you message in the copars guestbook, the link to your page hasn't worked as you put in an extra http. Did you know the webmaster for copars has a little boy with neuroblastoma, he is only little but maybe they might know someone with a teenager who has it. If you go back to copars & mail him he may be able to help you, tell him I sent you if you want.

I am so sorry to hear the pain you guys are going through. I learned of your fight with neuroblastoma from your signing of our website. I wish I had some contacts for you on teens but the only blastoma patients we know are 4-9 years of age. AS we both know there is nothing we can say to ease the pain and suffering both in the patient and parent. But our God is a God of peace. And that is our prayer is that His peace will be upon you in these difficult days. For His Kingdom

Hi Michelle & Jacqui,
At last I've found your page. I saw your message in Sams guestbook & then on just about every page I visited you were there as well. Finally I found your web address on Cassies page & wanted to come & say hello.
I know how you feel when you say you feel so alone, I'm sure every single person who has had a loved one with cancer has felt the same as you do now. It's good you feel you can talk about it in your page. Have you been on the squirrel tales web page. If you leave a message in the guestbook there may be someone with a teenager with neuroblastoma who will contact you. Sams cancer is very rare but through the internet I'm now in contact with others who have ppb. If I come across anyone I'll let you know their address.
I'm off to read your past journals now, I'll be back to say hello again soon.
Take care

Hi! A friend just sent me your website. I just wanted to let you know that my son, Jay is 15 also, and was diagnosed with neuroblastoma IV 2 months before his 14th birthday. He has never been NED, but is feeling OK. We visited London a few months ago for his Make-A-Wish; he had a blast! He really, really wants to go to Scotland. I hope that you feel better.

I am not sure if you have been to the site of Zachary Finestone. He is not a teenager, but he is 9 and I think that he is also fighting neuroblastoma...You can check him out at www.caringbridge.org/fl/zacharyfinestone.

I am not sure what else he is doing, but I know he is using PROTOCEL, which my niece Maddie is also using to treat a brain tumor (pontine glioma). She is 13, and like Michele, it is a tumor most often found in young children, so it is hard to compare symptoms etc...

If you have the time to check it out, you might find some encouragement!!!

Maddie's site is www.caringbridge.org/mn/maddie

I know that whatever you do for Michelle will be the right thing...I know reality is always so hard to face...the real fact that Michelle does not have long really, really saddens me...and the fact that she knows it too...it's all too much...my heart goes out to your family...I can't imagine what you must all be feeling but I can understand a little of your pain and heartache...when my mom was ill, it was so hard to watch her during her last weeks...she was slowly fading away and we knew her time was near.. it was so painful to watch her. Anyway, I just want you guys to know that I am keeping all of you especially Michelle in my prayers...keep strong!

Hi guys. I put a link to your page on Aizees page. Hope that was okay!

I put this in Katias book as well. I find it to be a very lovely picture!
I hope she gets the supportive school. It is still amazing to me how anal some people and places can be towards and about ill people. Stinks. I think it is great you took in her best friend. Child abuse is yet another mystery to me!
Poor thing. I hope she realizes life can just be a mess and that she is not to blame!
Love and Hugs to you guys! Take care.

Michelle:

I just found out about you from Katia's page and I wanted to stop by and say hello. I am so sorry about your latest news but don't give up hope!! I encourage you to go and visit a friend of mine...his site is www.caringbridge.com/fl/zacharyfinestone

He has the same type of tumor that you do and has relapsed as well (a year ago). He is on a medicine that has helped him tremendously when conventional doctors told him to give up!! He has clean bone marrow for the first time in 4 years after starting this alternative. He can tell you all about it if you contact him. My son is also using it and has had equally fabuolous results. I will say a prayer for your miracle.

With Love,
Susan and Jakey Bear Griffin

Wow, You have your hands full! God bless you for taking in someone elses baby. I've been wondering what that is in the picture with Michelle. It looks like a giant chess piece. I can't figure out what she is fiddling with either. I pray the girls can go to school together. Take care and God bless.

YAY! I am glad you got a quilt. Let me know if you need help linking it to your page.
Write all you want and as long as you want. This is about you and your beautiful child. This page is about and for you. So, no apologies needed.
Aizees hair has just grown in long enough to have a tiny ponytail. ANd it has come in more platinumn blonde this time around. It was more tow headed color last time.
Funny thing too, her bangs are taking the longest to grow in. She has this great spikey punk rock hair going on!:)
I am sorry she is in pain and suffering so. You are in our prayers.

The Dragonfly Story
Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond. They did notice that every once in awhile one of their colony seemed to lose interest in going about. Clinging to the stem of a pond lily it gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more.
"Look!" said one of the water bugs to another. "one of our colony is climbing up the lily stalk. Where do you think she is going?" Up, up, up it slowly went....Even as they watched, the water bug disappeared from sight. Its friends waited and waited but it didn't return...
"That's funny!" said one water bug to another. "Wasn't she happy here?" asked a second... "Where do you suppose she went?" wondered a third.
No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled. Finally one of the water bugs, a leader in the colony, gathered its friends together. "I have an idea". "The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk must promise to come back and tell us where he or she went and why."
"We promise", they said solemnly.
One spring day, not long after, the very water bug who had suggested the plan found himself climbing up the lily stalk. Up, up, up, he went. Before he knew what was happening, he had broke through the surface of the water and fallen onto the broad, green lily pad above.
When he awoke, he looked about with surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. A startling change had come to his old body. His movement revealed four silver wings and a long tail. Even as he struggled, he felt an impulse to move his wings...The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from the new body. He moved his wings again and suddenly found himself up above the water. He had become a dragonfly!!
Swooping and dipping in great curves, he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere. By and by the new dragonfly lighted happily on a lily pad to rest. Then it was that he chanced to look below to the bottom of the pond. Why, he was right above his old friends, the water bugs! There they were scurrying around, just as he had been doing some time before.
The dragonfly remembered the promise: "the next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk will come back and tell where he or she went and why." Without thinking, the dragonfly darted down. Suddenly he hit the surface of the water and bounced away. Now that he was a dragonfly, he could no longer go into the water...
"I can't return!" he said in dismay. "At least, I tried. But I can't keep my promise. Even if I could go back, not one of the water bugs would know me in my new body. I guess I'll just have to wait until they become dragonflies too. Then they'll understand what has happened to me, and where I went."
And the dragonfly winged off happily into its wonderful new world of sun and air.......
Thank you God, for the story of the water bugs and the dragonflies.

Jacqui,
I feel for you but how sweet to have Michelle say that to you. In some ways that must be a comfort. How exciting that she thinks she feels things shrinking and feeling better. How wonderful that would be! Have a great weekend. Thinking of you often. PLEASE don't worry about e-mailing me personally, you have other things to worry about, more important things.

Hello Michelle,
Can't wait to see your photos of London.
I'm going to visit my uncle next week with mum. He says we'll go on a bus to visit all the sights of London. We'll even go to Harrods, but just to look.
I can't have a Make-a-Wish because although I'm half Scottish I don't live in the UK and here in Italy they don't have such a thing.
My trip to England is a dream come true although next time I hope to get to Scotland too.
I've just started a new web page. There's not much on it yet but come by and have a look.

Michelle and Jacqui,

I check in every day, but forget to post in your guestbook. I am glad you had a good trip. My dream was always to visit England. The only countries I have been to other than the USA is Canada and Mexico. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Michelle, how thoughtful of you to give your mom that massage. Boy I sure could use on right now. you are a beautiful and thoughtful young lady.

Never give up hope. I know this is a difficult time for all of you. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

I got your site through another Caringbridge site. How sad to think of a 15 year old being shot down in the prime of her life...and she knows it.

Hiya Michelle.
Sorry you're having to go thru this.
My daughter Gemma is 6 months older than you. She is in remission from leukemia so I know how hard it is especially at your age.
I'm Scottish, from Glasgow but my hubby is Italian and we live in Italy.
Gemma and I will be coming to England at the end of this month.
We're going to visit my brother, he lives in Cambridge,
If you want to 'talk' to Gemma, don't hesitate to get in touch.
She's mad about Robbie Williams, Do you like him too?
Say hello to mum.

Your story touched me deeply with what you have endured. I thank-you for sharing it with us at N.C.C.S. You have a quiet and gentle spirit that shines through.

ENDURANCE

BUT he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. -Matthew 24:13

Lord, I must admit that words like patience and endurance aren't my favorites. They make me think of gritting my teeth and bearing up under troubles-and I never look forward to troubles.
Give me Your vision of patience and endurance, Jesus. You came to earth and bore my sins, when heaven was Your rightful home. You endured much on earth so that I could relate to You. Help me see the value in patiently enduring hardship. I look forward with joy to eternity with You. Strenghthen me, Lord, to be patient until that day.

May Joy be yours and always in all things!!! Hugs and Prayers!!
