I really miss seeing Ella with wide eyes, playing with her imagination in the front yard. You have a beautiful daughter. I just found your blog today and am thankful for it . I see Aly and Mark coming home basically just to get a few winks and do some laundry and I just want to give them peace for the blink they're home rather than knock on the door for updates. My heart aches for your family when I read this, but I also really appreciate the type of parents the four of you are. I think when Ella wakes up, she's not going to see the tremendous pain you've experiened, but instead, the great love from such a truly dedicated family and she will really understand her value in everyones lives. I'm sending you all very positive thoughts of strength and health. Glen,

As the story you portray is a true story, you show such compassion, love and devotion to your sweet, sweet daugther, Ella. She is far beyond the luckiest little girl in the whole wide world, and when she awakes, I hope it is you that is present for the first "I Love You, Daddy." Continued prayers and happy thoughts from our home to yours. Your's Truly, Sara Dear Glen, you are such a poet and a wonderful writer.

I wanted to let you know that I understand the feeling of trying to convince yourself of the progress. We never believe that your child could get cancer so when it happens nothing is okay again. It feels like you live your day waiting for something else to happen.... and some days those things do happen and in others you get the blessings instead. My family and I are coming up on our daughters one year after being diagnosed with High Risk T cell Leukemia. She has been through countless chemotherapies, full body radiation, bone marrow transplant, septic shock and others. I still feel like we are living our days waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is not a way to live but through all of this the little things become more wonderful. Every smile, any movement is a big deal. You learn to cherish everything. So what I wanted to say to you is good for you for not being sure if you believe she is okay. It is okay to feel wary about the situation. It is okay for you to be mad. It is okay for you to rejoice in the simplest of ways. And last of all it is okay to cry because lets face it..... CANCER SUCKS!!! Good luck and best wishes to you and your family. We hope that UCSF is taking care of you just as well as they have taken care of us. From one family of UCSF to another best wishes. Sarah Kirkbride www.caringbridge.org/visit/morgankirkbride Glen,
