Or...a cheerful chickadee! Whew Molly, you are an amazing wonder!! You are so positive and strong and experience a joy that has been tried in the furnace of adversity. No one can stop this girl. She is stronger than ever!!!

Oh Molly, how I love your joy and positive attitude through this journey. You’re an inspiration! You are so strong, joyful, courageous and I hope to be like you someday. You can write like a great journalist! Thanks for sharing your hard experience about having brain radiation. Hurrah, you did it! It was so good to see you, hug you, talk to you and see your beautiful smile and your beautiful daughter and handsome guys in your family. I love you and pray for you every day. ❤️

Alright, I'm officially convinced you're one the of the toughest people I know! Brain radiation is no joke. As always, your optimism motivates me to look for the good and seek joy in my life. I especially loved that quote about joy from Cleo Wade. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for taking the time to update us on your treatment. Happy New Year! So grateful for your friendship!

You are my favorite person ever! Love you Molly and miss you!

Thank you for sharing Molly! You are one strong and inspiring lady! Our family always has you in our thoughts and prayers! 🙏😘

This reminds me of an Education Week series I attended by Sherrie Mills Johnson in 2010. She was a BYU professor, now retired, who endure this same process for treatment of a brain tumor. She had surgery rather than radiation, I think, but the same mask experience through the surgery. You are doing everything she taught in that series-- controlling your thoughts to be positive, to love life, to trust the Lord and His plan for you. She talked about avoiding The Pit of Illusion, which was the place where we say, "Life shouldn't be this way!" I looked her up and she is still alive and posting on Facebook! At 75! If you are on Facebook, you might friend her. And maybe you would like her article, Think it not Strange. https://rsc.byu.edu/book/go-ye-all-world

I knew you were multi-talented. And had a gift for joy in all circumstances. But on top of all that, your description of the brain radiation and mask-making experience was like reading a thriller - totally captivating, hung on every word. Suspenseful, with vivid descriptions, pulling us into the emotion of each moment... Yes, apparently you are also an excellent writer too! Molly Johnson, Renaissance woman. All who know you admire and appreciate you. And pray for your complete and total recovery and continued joyful living!

Oh, Molly! This is so hard and I cannot believe the joyfulness that still comes from you! You have always been a little bundle of sparkly electric colorful happiness and I'm so glad that cancer has not changed that. As I go through life with my own much-lesser physical issues, I could take a lesson from you. You are in my prayers and my heart.
