| Comments: | i came across your page here and wow is all i can say. i have a housekeeping service and a wonderful customer of mine just had a brain tumor removed monday jan.21.i did not know she had gone in yet. that friday we went to clean as usual and i recognized her sister.i was amazed that they still wanted us there to clean...as you wish. linda had gotten up to do what she had to and at first i only saw her from behind. i have to hand it to all of you who go through that...you are truely amazing. it broke my heart to see her, BUT i am soooo happy for her to be up and moving and talking and joking. i am a rediculousely emotional person and my way of making a situation better is by joking...she was cracking up!!! i hope it made her feel bettter because it sure made me feel better and i hope and pray for recovery to be as easy as it can be for all.i'm sending her your site and you hers...i'm not sure if it has the braintumor stuff in it, but she's such a great woman...you would love her like i do.

First I just want to say that you are a truly inspiring person and that if everyone was just half as wonderful as you, this world would be perfect. I know that we haven’t known each other very long, but I want you to know that you’ve made an enormous impact on my life and I feel that I am a stronger person knowing that I have friends like you and Fish! I want you to know that I’m here for you and Fish in support and in anything you two ever need large or small! I miss you guys and the puppies all the time, and just know that Kara and I are always thinking about you and wishing we were there with you! Love Always, Steven |

| Comments: | hello there,
I am your old classmate (Karen Bradley's)sister. I met you once. Only Once in my family room in Columbia MD. You made such an impression on me! I swear to you... not more than 2 or 3 weeks ago, you were the subject for a story that I told a friend about a girl that had this amazing spirit, maturity and charisma that trascended the superfical. it was one of those heart to heart talks that we all need sometimes. then.... my sister sent me this email telling me she found you after all these years! Freaky! Your journal is funny,smart and moving. You are still amazing to me and i feel lucky that i got to meet you..even if it was only ONCE. |

| Comments: | You are inspirational. Our mutual friend, Kevin, chiropractor and amazing guy, gave me your website. You get it. I love that you said "I knew that the people who loved me, loved me and that more surgery wasn't going to change that" What a great feeling that is! Keep up the great work. I hope to meet you in person at a race sometime. |

| Comments: | Hello Candice,
I met you and your husband at Macraroni's last night. Great talking with you. You seem to be such a sweet soul. I wish we had more time to talk. Here are a few websites to get you started on your journey . There is a yahoo group called Adoption_Agency_Research. And there is a agency website called Childrens hope international @ Http://adopt.childrenshope.net. They do many countries. I feel for sure that the yahoo group will be of some help. Seems like you are a lady who does her research ,so I am sure you'll have no problem. If you have any questions or just want to say hello, free to e mail me. Many blessings to you and your husband on your future journey with your Butterfly Challenge. I'm proud to have met you. Blessings, Lynn F. |

| Comments: | Candy!! Wow!! You look absolutley AWESOME!! I had no idea that you were doing this. Aimee had told me about it and I was really curious of how you were doing. I hope you don't mind. You have always had the best spirit and personality of anyone I have ever met. I truly mean that. I don't think there is anything in the world that could hold you back or bring you down. I wish I had half the spirit that you have. Congratulations and good luck through the rest of your journey. I'll be thinking about you. Take care. WOW! You look GREAT!! |
