Hi Guys!
I was sitting here tonight reading all of the sweet postings on my blog and thinking how lucky I am to have so many people that are so caring in my life. I have been experiencing a lot of stomach pain lately and then suddenly it all just disappeared. Hmmm, I wonder why? =) Obviously, our Lord heard all of the prayers that you sent up to Him and He decided to cut me a little slack this week. I had a wonderful week of cleaning, cooking, making jewelry, soccer practice, walks around the neighborhood, and best of all working in my children's classroom. I owe it all to the Lord and my "army." I just wanted to take the time to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the love and prayers you have completely showered me with. Tomorrow I have my long and more difficult chemo and I will be greedy and ask for more prayers. I have bunco tomorrow night with a group of beautiful women and I would love to feel good for it. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for everything. I know that my words do not do justice to the gratitude in my heart, but I hope that you at least get a glimpse of it. My cup truly runneth over. I love you.

It is a privilege to pray for you, Robynn. So glad God is giving you a reprieve from your pain. Will pray that He allows you a fun evening with your Bunco friends as well. Love to you!
Praying on-

I love you too, Robynn!

Please wear your cut up wig to Bunco tonight. Please :-) Did they give you a Victoria Beckham or an Ellen DeGeneres? I think they are the same thing these days anyway. You are too cool, Miss Robynn, too cool. You always remind me what is important...REALLY important.
Wishing you all the peace in the world today.
Can't wait to hug you,
Mandy
Robynn:
The funny thing is, your words do justice! It's amazing how special I feel just to read your words to all of us that love you.
I read recently of someone who had lost their child and their experience with it. She conveyed that each and every word did matter. That people said they didn't know "what to say" but that every single small word made the difference.
I know it made me get back on the blog to let you know that you're still in my thoughts and prayers. I had a realization that maybe I'm not repetitive and maybe my words don't seem to be unimportant or overlooked. I realized that maybe they are just what you need when you need them. A little extra love and support. Who couldn't use it in this lifetime?
I love you dearly and am so grateful to have you in my life. Give your mom & sister my love, and of course your husband and children.
Good luck with today and tomorrow. Enjoy bunco and I hope you tolerate chemo well and get right back into the swing of things. We're all there to support you in any way we can!
Robynn,
I have been following your blog for months now without saying anything but the past few days have made a big impact on my life. I have worked "behind the scenes" with oncology patients for many years. It is my job to track them (on paper) from diagnosis thru the end of their life, whether that be short or long term. My job had become only paperwork, I had lost the drive to do the best I could. BUT reading your blog has changed me, has given me new direction and has once again put a face on all of the "paper" I see every day. I have not seen or talked to you since high school, but I too, am praying for you and your family. It is amazing how there are moments or words that change everything and I can't pin point exactly what was said or who said it but I am now more grateful for every day...thank you.

You so make me smile! :o) I have been thanking God all throughout my morning for all He's going to do for you today! Can't wait to see you! Don't forget your beret!
Rum cake is Definitely in order!
Smile, smile, smile!
Love you friend!
Robynn, it is a privilege to be praying for you. I passed this along to our women's ministry prayer team...
I am passing along a prayer request on behalf of Jonah Goodman...yes, I'm VERY sure that little Jonah would want you to be praying for his "friend" Robynn, as her "Army Goodell" has been lifting him up to the Lord for quite some time.
I find it amusing that we have the GOODells and the GOODmans joining forces. If you ask me, that's twice as GOOD!
Please rally around Robynn as she faces her "long and more difficult chemo."
I am coming to love someone I hope to meet. You are one of my heroes!
Robynn ~
You have a great time tonight at Bunco! :) Going through this experience with you has reminded me (and others I'm sure) that we sometimes need to be specific in our prayers...and then the proof is in the results! Glad "He" is hearing us and answering so kindly :)
Love, Kim
Robynn,
Perhaps it is not ALL in these messages that others believe in you...but that you believe in yourself, even when you feel your worst. BE the miracle Robynn.
Robynn: How wonderful to hear from you! I hope the chemo on Friday does not make you too sick to enjoy Bunco with your friends. Friends provide so much food for thee soul. In fact, your note today has given me food for my soul! Thank you :)
I hope you have a wonderful and pain free evening. Thanks for your thanks. The prayers continue as always!!!!!
-A
your words are so angelic, thank you for reminding me to BELIEVE!

Robynn:
I'm glad you are getting some relief from the pain. I hope chemo went well today. I'm a bit run down. I asked my doctor for an extra week off of chemo as my body is very tired. Ya think? After six and a half years of chemo, I need a little break. At any rate, you go Girl!
Love,
Your chemo cousin,
Barley
Sweet Robynn,
As it was written you do believe in yourself and I have faith that the Lord sees that as well and that you really are the example setter for us all and I am so grateful for you-I am so proud of you and I loved reading your words.
Have a wonderful time at Bunco and I am praying for an easy chemo-and I will be holding you up.
Praying in hope and love,
Grandma Miss Denise
Rockin Robynn while I havent chimmed in on here in some time, you blog is the first thing I look at each morning and the last thing I do at night(well most nights!!:)). Your will to win and positive outlook lifts me up when ever I have a down moment. We love you, and we thank God for giving you Brian and your beautiful children. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your life despite the time and distance that seperates us.

What a treat to hear of all of the strides that are happening and the tremendous support that has not wavered. I think I can speak for most when I say that your outlook and your outreach to others in need is amazing given all that you have been through and is an inspiration to all. Unfortunatley I have some bad news with reguards to my father in law (Larry) in Bakersfield. His cancer has returned free floting in has abdomen. Fotunatley it has not reattached to anything. He is restarting chemo and although the medical staff are confident that they will now be able to lick this thing. He is having a hard time with the fact that it has come back and needs some lifting up for strength. Even with this the number of people with cancer continues to rise. It has become to much of the norm that you hear of a loved one a friend a colleague that has been given the news. Tami's (my wife) cousin Jay was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is also having a hard time with it he is 37 years old and has 3 small children. Now to breath a sigh of relief into this blog. A good friend of ours Jamie 24 was diagnosed with breast cancer in both breast had 2 lumpectomys and just prior to going to start her radiation after rounds of chemo she found 2 more lumps. Although scared she prayed and leaned on the lord for help and both lumps came back negative for cancer cells. I ask of you all that we lift up these individuals and pray that God will give them even half the strength that you have Robynn and pray for their medical teams that they will have the wisdom and abillity to help turn aroud this relentless disease and make a true dent in it's hold on us all.
