To Our Mommies, Marian and Jeen

We are so fortunate to be blessed with such wonderful mommies. You were both out of town when we learned of Bryce's cancer, and you both dropped what you were doing to fly home and wrap your arms around us. It's amazing how moms can make the hurt go away, if even for a moment. We have both learned that we're not to old to be held and cuddled by our own moms, even though we're in our thirties and much bigger than you!
Our hospital stay in Denver was bearable because you were both right there, hearing the bad news with us, crying with us, freezing with Tammy, eating hospital food with us, and celebrating each milestone with us.
Our families have united together, and for this silver lining we are grateful.
We love you.

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
