I know you say it doesn't matter - what matters is Elena and the message that we all need to find a cure for cancer so that no other parent will journey what you have had to go through. I would hope that Brooke would sympathize with you because as a father, especially one who wrote the majority of the journal entries, you are recognized for the profound effect you have had on the lives of many for your unselfish way of sharing your story, your journey, your lives. I also trust that you both, as a couple, will look at each other and see Elena in each other. She and Gracie are what bond you. Know that you are both having a profound impact on the lives of a lot of people. Rejoice in that - together - and walk hand in hand in what is a journey of souls bound together through love. With respect and appreciation, Pierrette Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Keith,

I love the way you write, I would like to write more like you. A few days ago I was at the doctor with my Dad, (again, this time for me) and we got food on the way home, but I wanted to stay in the car when he went in to order. I was reading Notes Left Behind, and then I looked up to see if my Dad was back, and I saw a bridal store... The minute I saw that store the words "Pick out your dresses" came to mind. I couldn't see it too well, but I did pick out a dress I would want to have at my wedding, and then I saw a hot pink dress with "squibble-squabbles". Haha, I thought it would be perfect for Elena! Thank you, thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us. I’m sure Gracie likes more as a father than a writer. I love the way you write, I would like to write more like you.

She is a remarkable little girl!! I could not put the book down and it made me think that my situation could always be worse! I would have loved to meet her! I was deeply saddened when she passed on but I know she is still with us watching over your family and hiding notes in Heaven!! She's truly an Angel!!! God Bless!!

Praying has taken a back seat to everything else in life. When Michael was sick, I prayed for God's will, not that he receive a miracle and live. I wonder if I did the right thing even now. Now I pray for God's will in my life hoping that it means I'll see Michael again soon. I know just how you feel, being Catholic too and having lost a child to a brain tumor.

I am sure She will remember Elena forever because Elena made an impact in your life, Gracie's life, and everyone's life because she was so amazing. -Molly-Marie Anderson I am amazed that little Gracie could remember her remarkable big sister.
