Thank you to everyone for your love and support. Reading these comments gives us all strength and a feeling that we are not alone. It helps me to be reminded how important it is to be kind and caring to others "paying it forward" as Robynn always says. Thanks from the bottom of my heart to Brian for being our Rock. We all rely on you to keep us all informed. I can sleep at night knowing you are by my daughter's side through all this. She is blessed to have such a devoted, loving husband. My heart goes out to everyone who is on this journey with us. ~ Robynn's Mom

This is a long journey and we are all walking it with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily.
Dear Robynn's mom,
I can only imagine what it is like to watch your child go through something like this. You have a wonderful girl, who obviously has touched so many lives. Our hearts go out to you and your family. And I know you must find so much comfort in knowing how much Brian loves that girl of yours and what a gardian he has been to her. They are so lucky to have such a wonderful and strong bond...that is one of God's greatest blessings. Thank you for sharing your wonderful girl with so many. Please give Robynn and Brian a big hug for us in Bake Town :)
God Bless,
Brandy
Hi Joan!

I know much of Robynn's kindness and goodness comes from you! You must be (and I know you are) very proud of your girls! They are exceptional people!!
Take care!
Lots of love,
Kristy

Ephesians 6:10- "Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power."
Mark 9:24-"I do believe; but help me not to doubt!"
Mark 11:24-For this reason I say to you, all whatever you pray for and ask, believe that you received it, and it will be to you.
These passages seem to resonate with me and relate directly to your situation. I have been praying in thankful declaration for the healing that G-d is doing, affirming that health, peace and vitality are G-d's favor for all of you.
All of you seem to be living these passages everyday, just know that your 'prayerful fan club' is doing the same. Quick note to each of you:
"Shelly, thanks for being the link that is the go between keeping all of us informed and delivering our words of love & support."
"Brian, you are living your marital vows, your love, devotion, and support are worth more than their weight in gold to Robynn and your lil' one's....I am sure of it."
"Miss Robynn...okay now girlie...I thought it was only in the Hollywood movies that the patients looked pretty & fit as they received medical treatment. You've got a spectacular attitude and tons of folks who think the world of you...so take good care and know that good thoughts and prayers are headed your way!"
Love & friendship,
Jilly Grover-West
Hello Robynn and Family-
You don't know me...my name is Brandi from Houston Texas. I got your website in an email and I have checked it everyday. I recently lost my mother to pancreatic cancer. She fought the awful disease for 4 years! Trust me...I know the emotional rollercoaster you are all on. Excited one second, then "boom" another let down, then your up again! It seems never ending and is very stressful. I felt like I was living in a endless tunnel of fog, crossing my fingers that there would be light at the end of the tunnel. I couldn't wait for emotional chaos to just GO AWAY. My point of telling you this is so that you know that others have been in your shoes... it is nice to know that because you feel so alone and scared when you are in your spot. Know that you are not stuck in this crummy spot alone. There are so many people parying for you...I get a "frog" in my throat every time I read your page. I can feel your families rush of emotions. You are surrounded by eternal and unconditional love,support, and strength. I promise that life lessons are learned through times of darkness like this...you all will learn to laugh more, appreciate more, cry more, love more. I know that I have learned the true values of life and how to truly LIVE. My mom used to tell me, "Life is too short, so don't be afraid to use your fine crystal!!" Meaning, live in the moment with pride, strength, love and laughter! It is okay to be sad, scared, pissed off, excited, etc...it is all part of the roller coaster ride of healing...and that is what I am praying so hard for---HEALING!!
In November of 2006, I was having a particuarly rough week. One of the days happened to be my Birthday. My house was a total disaster and my mood was so low. Robynn not taking no for an answer, showed up on the door step to tell me Happy Birthday and give me a big hug. You always know that you have a "true" friend when they see through the mess of your home and want to be there to cheer you up.
Instead of you asking if we know how much you care for us, I only hope that I have been a bright light in your low moments. I hope that you know that your "tigger" spirit is so contagious and slowly but surely I can be that "tigger" not an "eeyore" to all.
Much love from the bottom of my heart, Victoria
Ps: My mama is still walking to church to light candles for you!
Aunt Joannie,
I read Robynn's blog everyday and I pray for you, Robynn and her family. I have both my bible study groups and my church praying, too. I know I haven't seen you for a long time, but you look exactly the same as when I was little. I love you and your girls. I would love to hear from you. My email is luvmy5_0@yahoo.com. I know you are busy though. Love, Theresa
Hi Robynn & Brian,
While I haven't had a chance to get to know you yet, I know that Todd & Tina feel that you are the finest family they have ever known. And reading these notes and seeing how each of you are loved is just a blessing. What a beautiful smile you have Robynn, one that comes from the heart. You guys have a rough road to hoe, but hang in there, and beat this ugly thing. My prayers for each of you and all your wonderful family. If there is anything I can help with,kids, shopping,or just running errands please let me know.
GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU STRONG.
Love Vickie (Todds mom)
Dear Joan,
I have thought about you daily since this whole thing began. I am so thankful that Robynn is near you during this trying time. She needs you as she always has. Nothing is like a mothers love...it can get you through lifes greatest challenges.
Thank you for bringing 2 wonderful daughters into this world! We are so blessed to know them.
My love and concern is with you always,
Kerrie
Hi Robynn,
I think I have shared this with you before, but I feel the need to say it again.....I can still remember the look of pure love & amazement on your face the first time they handed Brady to you (the cleaned up, bundled up Brady that is) in the hospital. If it weren't for that look on your face I probably never would have had Jared or Arianna. God Bless you for that! They are the light of my life and I have you to thank for setting it all into motion. I know you will soon be able to hold your "babies" again! I love you! Be strong and you will win!
Love, Julie
Joan - Ron and I want to lend our support to whatever we can do for you. You are all constantly on our minds and in our prayers. Be sure to call us if you need us. Everyone keep strong!
I am amazed at your family and friends - have been reading the blog everyday and getting updates from Jenni and Derek, too.
We miss you - and hopefully we can see you all soon at one our our "extended family" holidays.
Robynn - you look amazing in that photo with your new quilt!
Hugs and kisses!
Ron and Andrea
(Derek's Mom and Dad)
Give Brady and Hailey and hug from us!
Dearest Robynn and Brian,
Count me among the VERY MANY who are with you in constant thought and prayer. I, too, go to my email first thing in the morning to get the latest update, and so appreciate Shelly's work in keeping us informed. What a wonderful gift you gave to us with yours and Brian's message on Sunday. I guess we are all wrapped abound your little finger, because did you ever stir up a flurry of reply messages...more than ever!!!
Each night before bed and after reading your blog, I scroll down to the picture of you in the middle of the message page, and just as I have always done with my granddaughters'(screen saver)pictures, I think a loving thought and put a little kiss on yours and their faces.
Robynn, your battle is a tough one, but with the enormous
outpouring of love and prayer, a dedicated husband and family, and friends all over who love and admire you, you will win!!!
Keep fighting and keep smiling, and we'll keep praying,
Love,
Pat Koberg (Mindy's Mom)
Hello Robynns Mom you should be quite proud of your daugther. Her courage in the face of this challenge is most inspiring to of us
