Dear Tammy and Bryce:
I learned of your challenges on the MPIP web site a few moments ago. Your courage is admirable. Miracles do happen. Keep up the fight, don't give in to the melanoma beast, my prayers will be with you.

A poem on moms
by Carol Lynn Pearson

You can fall here.
We are a quilt set to catch you
A quilt of women’s hands
Threaded by pain made useful

With generations of comfort-making
Behind us, we offer this gift
Warm as grandma’s feather bed
Sweet as the Heavenly Mother’s
Lullaby Song

You can fall here
Women’s hands are strong.

PAIN MADE USEFUL KIDS. Remember that. Thanks for your courage. You are not only lifting yourselves out of hell, but all who read this.

Tammy and Bryce - Holly told me about what you all are going through and I wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I agree with what so many people have said throughout this page - Miracles do happen! Keep up the positive attitude. You both are amazing.
Love, Emily

Dear Bryce and Tammy:
This is the second time I have been to your site. A little over a month ago my niece, Bonnie Grow, forwarded the link. You are all inspiring and amazing. It is truly true that the Lord saved his most valiant spirits for today and you are those spirits! Here's what I can give today - words from a song I wrote several years ago (if you email me I'll send you a CD, or if you want I can come and sing it to you):

Can my faith carry me
through this bitter task?
Is my heart strong enough
to stand and do my best?
I can not fold under this torment I must bear,
I must believe my Savior will carry me there.

He will bear my burden
He is standing on the other side of this!
There is no way around,
The only way is through.
Can you feel His arms around you?

Are my eyes clear enough
to see what I must see?
Is my heart strong enough
to be what I must be?
The road I've traveled has been so long
and still there's more.
I must believe my Savior,
my strength will restore!

When you've closed your eyes in despair
Try to picture Him standing there
With his arms outstretched waiting to love you.
No matter what you have done
You may be tired of waiting, you may be alone
He knows you are there, He wants to love you!

He will bear my burden,
He is standing on the other side of this.
There is no way around
The only way is through.
Can you feel His arms around you?

--end of song.

Even though I've never met you - I love you guys and know that you will triumph. Hang in there.
