I used to stay with Marné and her family for a year a long time ago (92/93 to be exact). Every time I read Diane's posts on FB or in your blog it strikes me how brave you are. You seem to make the most of Everything and manage to be grateful for each day. I am thinking of you and your family a lot and you courage inspires me. /Ann Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461077598805122587.post-45591000384466096252014-01-04T20:18:40.869-08:002014-01-04T20:18:40.869-08:00Hi Rachel, I just sat down and read your whole blo...Hi Rachel, I just sat down and read your whole blog in one sitting!! My 13-year-old nephew, Alex, was just diagnosed with DIPG before Christmas. We're all still reeling with this information and are trying to learn all we can about not only DIPG, but HOW to support my brother and sister-in-law, my nephew and also Alex's 2 younger brothers. Alex just started treatments last week and will also be participating in the St. Jude's Phase 1 trial via Children's Hospital here in St. Louis, Missouri.<br />I will recommend your blog to my brother, Jeff (Alex's Dad). I'm sure he'll want to read about your journey and the inspiration you instill in others.<br />Please, Like Alex's FB page, www.facebook.com/hopeforalex & post a message for him! He LOVES getting messages from others. If you'd like to get in direct contact with my brother, let me know. I don't know if that's a weird thing to ask, so just ignore me if it is. LOL!<br />Thank you for your courage, inspiration, strength and joy. I *hate* that this has to be your journey - or ANYONE'S journey. But your approach to all of it is amazing. God has worked wonders through you.<br />Many thanks,<br />Jodi<br />Alex's 'Aunt Jodi' Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868486243021462843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461077598805122587.post-73126032302801458292014-01-02T06:09:30.630-08:002014-01-02T06:09:30.630-08:00Hi Rachel, I just learned of your journey and want...Hi Rachel, I just learned of your journey and want to tell you that I am praying for you and your family.

I haven't personally been diagnosed with brain cancer, but It has affected me in the deepest way every single day for the last seventeen years which is 3/4 of my life. Let me tell you some of the benifits I experienced from seeing the person I love more than anything in this world battle brain cancer and luekemia.<br /><br />1. You trueling understand the importance and the gift of life. And you probably do not take anything or anyone for granted. <br />2. You perform a miracle everyday by getting up and thinking today is going to be a good day. From a loved ones perspective, it's like experiencing Christmas everyday when they see your face.<br />3. You are INSPIRING people. I am moved by your attitude and outlook on life.I think about you and pray for you frequently and I think you have a lot of other people doing the same. Most people aren't lucky enough to be naturally inspiring to others. You are that kind of person. Your story and your positive attitude makes life worth appreciating. <br /><br />Somethings in life can only be earned. By the sounds of it you have earned the love of your family, the respect and admiration of your community and a place in Heaven for being such an amazing person. I heard a quote some time ago that says "those that suffer on earth will be made saints in Heaven" and I believe it with every ounce of my being.<br /><br />Stay strong.
