		<description>You look stunning!  You actually look healthier and more vibrant than before, if that&#039;s possible.  The Lord is doing His job.  He will see you through this.  ((((HUGS))))</description>

		<description>Hello Heather!
When I opened on to your site and saw that sweet little face, I had such an admiration for you!
I am so glad that you are feeling better and I hope that you had a good day with your mom.
I don&#039;t think I have ever seen a blog with so many comments on it except maybe for &quot;Midnight Meditations&quot; by Roger Bennett.
You are truly loved by so many people little Heather and I am glad that Donna had your name on her blog, &quot;By Grace Alone&quot;.
Have a good night and an even better tomorrow....With Christian love, Teresa Shirkie</description>

		<description>I see a similar train of thoughts in these comments... you are beautiful!! Physically, you ARE beautiful! You have such great skin and pretty eyes! And of course anyone who is reading your blog can see you have a beautiful spirit, too. 

How do your kids feel about having a mommy who is a hottie? ;)</description>

		<description>Heather, I may have told you this before, but I am a former board-certifed music therapist (I know stay at home with my kiddos). I did my internship at a hospital where I worked exclusively with adult oncology patients, dealing with many of the issues that you are right now. You already immerse yourself in a great deal of music (I can tell that you LOVE worship music), but I just wanted to suggest to you that you find a deeply relaxing instrumental CD to help you with your nausea and fatigue. Find a quiet and comfy spot on the couch when you feel the most nauseous, plug in that CD, and then take some deep breaths. Picture all of that nausea and fatigue draining out of you.  Literally allow yourself to visualize a wonderful and relaxing place (I almost always picture the beach)Then allow yourself to see Christ, holding you, holding your hand, etc. Meditate on some of your favorite Bible verses too. Sorry..it&#039;s a little awkward for me me to write about it - I always led my patients through the exercises in person.  I have a wonderful Christian CD that has a voice that takes your through a visualization of you being in a cabin in the woods with rain all around and Christ being present to comfort you - please let me know if you would like a copy of it. I would love to send it to you! 
I also worked with my patients to write lyrics which I set to music for them - it was a wonderful way for them to express themselves. I would be honored to do the same for you, if you&#039;d ever like to do something like that. 
Blessings on you and your determination to cling to Christ through this! 
Keep shining! 
Stacy (in Phx) 
P.S. Us Sisterchicks keep you in our prayers!</description>

		<description>Heather,
You look wonderful!

I&#039;m so glad that today is a great day, and you have fun plans with your mom. 

Just remember...if you have another down day, that you need to accept it as your body telling you to simply slow down.  That&#039;s all.  You&#039;re healing and you&#039;re going through two grueling therapies at once.  

Glad to see your smiling face today!</description>
