Your heart is very obvious in that film and the devastation of your struggle is in every expressive movement of your face and floats on the strains of your words. And yet, you leave us with resolve and hope and we grasp it and hang on with you knowing God can do more than we can imagine and so we imagine hard and ask for whatever is beyond that - hoping, believing, and praying. Thank you for sharing it with all of us and again, I'm so sorry I didn't enter boldly but timidly crawled in to sit and listen and just be there. I love you.

I don't WANT it to be any more real but now I will go there and I will watch and I will process and I KNOW you'll be wonderful - wonderfully real and wonderfully you and it will be wonderfully done and then I'll cry wonderfully terrible tears. Please forgive me for being weak and in denial but here I am and I'll be back after I watch.......Robynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-18373217704934466742012-11-02T17:23:17.705-05:002012-11-02T17:23:17.705-05:00I have waited to watch this purposefully.

I know these feelings so well.<br /><br />And I texted Becky recently and told her that parenthood has it all: adoption, photography, and now cancer. I cry almost every week. ;)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08325898729203111520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-25866317194899750162012-10-30T09:42:44.867-05:002012-10-30T09:42:44.867-05:00Hilary- I wold love nothing more than to hug you r...Hilary- I wold love nothing more than to hug you right back :) Thank you for your gracious words and all of those prayers!

You really did an amazing job so it is no wonder that they would want you to do this really important work. You are a great communicator, have a brilliant way with language and your message is powerful. There are not enough people saying to put more money into research. I agree people are very aware but we need to give the scientists etc more funding to find the cure. And I also love your wig - really suits you. <br /><br />You have done so much for others when it would have been just as easy to not do anything and focus on your own fight. You have a gift and you are using it for a power of good and helping so many other people. I think it is just the start of big things. Onwards and upwards. What is next I wonder.<br /><br />And those boys of yours - are just little heroes too. <br /><br />Have a great weekend and thank you for sharing this with us all.
