What a beautiful girl! She is showing a lot of personality in these photos. Very cute.

Hi Tammy,
I was so happy to see the pictures of
cute Dani. I check your blog all the time and hope that you are both doing well.
You are so loved. I hope that in time you will think about using your gift of writing in some way. That is definitely one of your talents.
Hugs,
Clarks

Your daughter is sure cute - she looks so much like her daddy! We hope you are doing well. Take care! love, Trisa & Alex

Tams,

What a gorgeous baby! You must be having a blast with Dani...such a FUN age! We think of you and pray for you always. You are the best and I love you and little Danika.

I know everyone says how much Dani looks like Bryce, and I wasn't exactly alive when you were a baby, but I've seen lots of pictures; She looks just like you in the pictures I remember. I could be wrong though. I guess it doesn't matter as long as she's cute and healthy right?

Dear Tammy,
What an adorable daughter! Hope she keeps you busy. We still pray for you in our family, and I'm keeping you on the prayer roll. Thanks for sharing the photos.
Love, Marian and Sally

Beautiful

She is as beautiful as you could have imagined. Her Daddy is so proud i am sure. She is destined for big things! Happy Easter to you both, sorry it is so late.

Hi Tammy,
I think about you everyday. Glad to see pix of that cute gal. I wasn't able to read the text-princesses (I assume it was something to read). I might need to try a different browser. Anyway, I dropped in last week. I was thinking about you a lot, and decided to say hi. But, you weren't home. I hope I had the right house! I'll try again another time.
Keep pressing forward. You are loved.
love,
brenda

Tammy-
Thanks for updating the pictures. She is so beautiful. You both continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
love kristin

Oh she is so cute! I want to take her home for the weekend :) I am thinking of you guys and miss you.

love sammy

Simply put...she is beautiful. I don't doubt that you see Bryce when you look in her eyes.
You both continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
We just returned from Mayo. Dave has had yet another setback. There are some suspicious lesions in his bone. He had one biopsied and we'll get the results early next week. You know all too well how awful and unpredictable melanoma is.
Godspeed...

Does knowing others have been through this help? Probably not... I stumbled across your site as I surf at 2am. I'm stunned by the similarities in our stories. My husband will die any day now from lung cancer. We are 30 and have a two year old.

Best wishes... and as you know, life goes on, and there is nothing like a baby to keep you laughing now and then.

I cannot believe how much she looks like Bryce! Holy Cow.

BTW - I went to High School with both of you and remember how much fun Bryce was. You and I are the same year, my maiden name was Hyde.

Thank you for your blog!

Tammy, as others have said, Dani looks so much like Bryce. She also looks a lot like you did when you were a baby. She's lucky to have two beautiful parents! I think about you often and hope that you are doing well. When you need a break, come on down to Arizona. We're having beautiful weather right now. Give Dani a hug and kiss from me.

Aunt Elaine

So here I sat all night last night on your blog. I found it by a friend just after Bryce passed away. But until last night, I had never read through the archives.
I was feeling pretty bad yesterday. Not enough money, not enough time, you know how it is. Then I sat down and spent a few hours with you, from beginning to end. Tammy you are the most amazing woman I can imagine. After I got off the computer, (and an empty box of kleenex later) all my problems were put into perspective again. We're all healthy, together, and here. I can't ask for anything more than that.
Thanks for giving me a wake up call to what is really important! I needed it.
Michelle Terry
P.S. Dani is beautiful. Please enjoy this stage. It doesn't last long.

She is gorgeous, Tammy! The perfect combination of both of you.

Tammy-

I was really excited to hear that the Young Men and Young Women will be running/walking the Salt Lake 5K in remembrance of Bryce. I'll be there, and I'll be cheering on every one of you in orange shirts for Bryce. We're still thinking of you, and hoping things are well. We always want to do something to help if we can--all you have to do is let us know!!!

Oh my dearest friend Tammy,
Oh how I have missed you !!!! I have been without a laptop for well over a month now and I am sitting here with a new one and now able to touch base with all my cyber friends!!! Not a DAY, HOUR, or MINUTE goes by that I don't think about you my friend.
I wonder how you are doing and then I say to myself....c'mon you know how she is doing. Tammy I so miss talking to you but I know that when you need to and when you are ready to you will call just as long as you know that I am always just a phone call away. I have so much that I want to share with you.
I love you bunches!!!
Christine

Where are you and how in the heck are you? I was a friend of a friend, etc who kept up with your blog ...
There are so many who think of you often and hope you are well.
XOXO

Happy Mother's Day,

You have an absolutely beautiful little girl who I'm sure will grow up to be an amazing woman. Revel in her, love her, and love life. The future will be wonderful, and it begins today.

Happy belated Mother's Day Tammy!!! We hope you had a good one!!! We love you!!!

Hey Tammy,
Just read through some past posts...it's hard to believe all this has happened. How are you doing? How are you surviving? My heart goes out to you. It still feels like yesterday that you and Bryce started all this craziness. You are still in my thoughts (when I apply my sunscreen in the morning) and prayers. Let me know when we can get together.
love,
brenda

Tammy,

I can't believe that you have to go through yet, another trial in your life. I was shocked to hear that Dani was hospitalized this week for RSV. I am so glad to hear that she is now home and doing much better. Give her a hug and a kiss from her grand auntie. BTW, her picture is darling. She is growing up so fast. I love you both.

Elaine

Hello Tammi,

You don't know me. I saw your sweet husband's obituary way back in October and was compelled to read every article you had written. I've since thought about you a lot and have looked forward to the updates. I know you are going through pain that I can't even imagine, but I want you to know that I care about you. I care about your little family. I hope good things for you. I hope you will continue to post.

In case you doubt that you are making a difference: my children and I have been slathering on the sunblock every single day since I first read your blog. This will be a lifelong part of our daily routine. You have made a difference.

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Tammy,
I have just spent the last couple of days (on and off) reading your blog.
I don't know you, but I couldn't help myself but cry at the grief I feel for you. I too am married to my best friend, and the thought of losing him is unbearable.
Thank you for sharing your story. While this awful disease hasn't touched my life the way it has yours, your story (and Bryce's) has influenced me for sure. I am GREAT at putting sunscreen on my kids, not so good at putting it on myself. I will be sure to be GREAT at getting it on as well, in the future, so that your story will not be wasted on me.
My love and prayers,
Ashley

Dear Tammi,
I too read Bryce's obituary and immediately went to your site to learn more. When I read your story, my heart physically hurt. I hadn't ever experienced any cancer in my family or anyone close to me. I felt sadness for you but had no idea the awful pain you were and are enduring.
My mom was diagnosed on May 1st with Metastatic Malignant Melanoma, stage 4. We hoped to fight and beat it - considering she was healthy, working full time and only had a cough. Monday, we had to call Hospice. I HATE cancer.
You have no idea what an inspiration you have been to me and several members of my family.
I check often to see how you are doing. I pray you feel the prayers offered in your behalf and your sweet little girl.
Thanks for inspiring so many people.

Hi Tammy and Dani,
It's Natalie, from Radiation Therapy. It's been quite a while since I've gotten to say 'hi' to you. I just wanted to let you guys know I think about ALL of you so much. I hope things are well for you guys. Dani sure looks like she is getting big and beautiful.
I miss reading your blogs all the time. When you have time, or want to, let us know what you have been up to. Lots and Lots of love - Natalie

I agree with Kori - you are making a difference in so many of our lives. We too have changed our routine to include sunscreen. Please continue to post. We all think about you always, worry about you and pray for you. Take care.
