My Parents, I wouldn't trade them for anything- they are the BEST.
I am probably well overdue for giving your parents a call to ask them 101 questions :) I turned 26 two days ago, and i go for my bone marrow consult on the 17th of this month. It's December in case you've lost track up there, i know i would! I was just wondering if you could put in a good word with our Father for me. I kinda need Him more than ever right now, and sometimes it just seems He's busiest at those times. I know in my heart that you and my current boyfriend are my Angels, so iv now asked the both of you - and i find peace in it. Thank you for being so amazing.
Alese, things have been bad lately, i have found myself crying almost everyday - and im not sure why my heart hurts so badly. I find myself led to read your journal, and it always makes me feel so much better. It reminds me how sure you were, which in turn reminds me how sure i am. My boyfriend sent me a text message tonight that read " You and Alese CoCo are a lot alike - iv been reading her journal for the past hour" i was sort of shocked for a moment, i knew he had added your cause, but i didnt know if he had paid attention. I replied "Awe, well i dont believe iv ever or will ever recieve a greater compliment". and he replied "she was amazing - just like you" which made me tear up a little bit, but mainly because i couldnt agree with him more that your spirit lingers and touches so many, so i replied " I truly do believe that, and i am so thankful for her life and for that fact that even in death the words alese left behind continue to inspire and touch people" its amazing to me, i know iv said it before, but Alese you live through the works/writings, and memories you left behind - and i am so thankful that God led me to you, that iv come to know you through your writings, and can honestly say "you're my hero" you are the person i aspire to be. God and his miracles, Alese, you were one of them.
Alese, i have a case of the blah's today --- its definitely a "Cancer Day" where i remind myself that once i kick this cancer - every day will be a "good hair day" :) It seems like I am taking up your wall here, in place of all your friends, and im sorry for that. I just wanted you to know that when you felt the force of prayer and your name included, today one was coming from me. " Lord, you are perfect God, and your plan is perfect, and I, i am not perfect. Lord that is why you sent the BEST part of You, so that i could have bad days, stub my toe and say a wordy dirty, and still be allowed into heaven. Lord I am weak, and I am troubled. I am learning that Alese looked toward you for strength as well father, and she seemed so peaceful and at ease, Lord i pray that you give me the same peacefulness. Lord, i ask that you make me more like you father with a dash of Alese. Lord you're so good! You are so wonderful. I thank you for today, i thank you for everything! I am just in awe that You, that You my Lord could love someone like me, that you would even know my name. Thank you Jesus, Amen.
Today was a bad day Alese, the aftermath of my salvage chemo has "what little hair i grew back" falling out again. I know you know how hard it was to lose your hair. So i prayed today asking God that He bless me with the same strength you had through your trials with this horrible disease. Thank you for being such an inspiration. God bless you
I know that I have never met you, nor have I have never even spoken to you - but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you would not have only been an inspiration, but I believe kindred spirits. God's plan is perfect, so I know that by his grace peace is given to us in that you're no longer here with us in flesh but in spirit. I rejoice for you Alese, you're truly a deserving soul be in His presence. Though I do not envy you, and though I am holding on to life, I know that is God's plan for me be to join you, grace will be given as well. I want you to know that not a single day will go by that I do not hold you in my heart as I practice as a Pediatric Oncology Nurse - as it was my passion even before my diagnosis. I also want you to know that I will share your story with everyone I come into contact with, and that I am so thankful for God's gift of your short life with us. God bless you Alese, you're so much more, and everything in between, and I proudly call you my Hero. God bless your family, and all that come to know them through you. I pray that God continues to use all the beautiful things you've left behind to help us through our journey, and I pray that the doctors, and lawyers, and donors, and anyone else affiliated with your foundation be blessed. I am keeping my eye on Jesus, and now more than ever I proclaim that cancer is not a curse it is a blessing to see life as I believe it was meant to be seen. And I proclaim the Glory be to God for allowing you and I to know it is not a lose/lose situation, but a Win-Win. Agape, need we say more ;)
Alese I miss you so much I cant begin to tell you again how much you have inspired my life I actually had some thing happen to me the other day and I told myself "well alese could do it, so can I" I love you and miss you sooooooo much!
