Dearest Natalia,
Here's to the angels like you fighting cancer. You are in my prayers, and now in my heart. Keep that beautiful attitude, and your blanket of comfort God has provided you. It's not how long we live-but how we live that matters.
God bless you and keep you
Dear Natalia,
Received your comment today. Was glad to hear from you.
Have to confess-- I know of the blanket because I too have one.
I'm fighting breast cancer also. Was diagnosed in Aug. 07.
I was just browsing the Internet and came across your story. I'am a mother of four,two stepchildren and just had a new grandbaby two months ago. It was my number 20!!!!
Reading about you touched me so much I had to sit and cry for the way I was feeling sorry for myself and the pain of that day.
God has given me many years and many blessings . But he shook me up when I came across your story.
So you truly are and Angel, Thank you for helping me get back on track. Keep your blanket tight lil one!!!

Natalia, you are so young and already so wise. How many of us just sleep through life? Thank you for giving all of us this much needed wake up call. Today, you inspired me to pick up my dusty old book of poems and read Wordsworth again: "Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind."
Dear Natalia,
Just yesterday I had a visit from my friend, Luane and her 6 year old daughter Rachel. Ten years ago Luane was in treatment for metastatic breast cancer and had to accept that she would not bear children. Finally, after treatment ended, she and her husband decided to adopt, but her oncologist would not write a letter in support of this, saying that, even though she had no evidence of disease, he didn't believe she would live to raise a child. But SHE believed and she has still had no evidence of disease for almost a decade. And she is Rachel's very proud adoptive mother.
You can do it too, Natalia. I'll be praying for you.
Love from a 14 year survivor (twice),

Hey Pat, you know what you said has really made me think. It has given me so much hope. You never know what my future has in store. I may be cancer free in a few years and I can still be in time to have kids or maybe able to adopt, even though they said I coudn't. You have given me new hopes though and I do wish for that day that they say im cancer free...that would be awesome. Thank you for sharing that story with me, it really has me thinking.

Natalia
So courageous, so honest.
You inspire ME.
Thank you thank you thank you for reminding me that we should really be grateful for every moment and keep living and keep loving.
I also believe you'll be around for a long, long time.
And did you know I'm going to do your portrait?
It's MY pleasure.
Much love,
Marisa
Oh my gosh Marisa I can't believe that your going to do my portrait!!! I have read about you, you are so awesome and then I hear that you are taking time out to do my portrait....thats too cool! It still hasn't sank in. Thank you for reading it means so much to me. Wow
