I don't know why people can't follow the rule "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" or, even better, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." ;) I say use your delete key liberally, but hopefully you won't even have to see such hateful comments.

Through every circumstance that you have gone through, you just keep on going. You let the light of the Lord shine through you in every post that you write. You are such an inspiration to me. You are raising a such wonderful Christian family. Even through all the business that your family has, you always have time to sit down and and dig into His Word. Thanks for taking us on this journey through your life! Heather,

I come to you for inspiration in my life. I have prayed for you and ask those who read my blog to do the same. It really makes me sick to my gut that anyone would attack you. That is one cheap shot. But I am glad I see that the warrior chick in you is beginning to shine. I am glad you took your stand! In all honesty I have come around blogs that I don't agree with what is posted, I just read and walk away. But why slander? why hurt someone intentionally? I enjoy your writing Heather, keep it up!

This is not a sad story - this is not poor me -this is JOYFUL me - I am so proud of my daughter and her attitude towards life. I am so proud of her three children and our conscience decision to "put our best foot forward". We, behind the scenes of the blog world are living life to its fullest. Eli is going to the dentist today, Emma has an appointment at Shands, Easton is still giddy over her slumber party for her birthday. She and 3 of her best friends made smores on the outside firepit, looked longingly at the pool that was "off limits" due to her broken arm (thats another story) Laughed until two AM then Nana threatened to beat the chilren (just kidding or not!) When Eli became sad because he could not have his birthday now (you can only understand this if you are a small sensative boy) I spent two hours laying on the bed looking at web sites with star wars legos bookmarking things to give this sweet boy a smile and something to look forward to. All of this as Emma with her strong presence is walking around with plastic cleaning gloves on screaming at the top of her lungs about being a robot! This is my life - I LOVE IT. I am not caught up with mean people because there is so much love around me. So when people try to bring us down - we smile - thank our maker for our family and put our best foot forward - try it annonymous it might make your life a little happier because all that negativeness is sooooo draining. Got to go kiss all of the three "E's" and thank God for all he has blessed us with -good and bad. It is not our choice what falls in our lap but it is our choice how we decide to handle it! I choose to be thankful and grateful for what I have today!

My husband has had cancer twice...the first one in the 4th stage, and GOD healed HIS body...twice. I think your story is amazing and your so a inspiration for others and a testimony. My husband and I took alot out of what we went through and what we took was..a testimony. I sang a song during my testimony for my husband, as a spouse, that is no hill for a climber and no battle for a child of God. You are a climber and a child of God! You keep climbing. I am standing in faith with you through this...UNTIL! oh and dont worry about what others say!! I say you go girl and go Dad! I know that he is so proud of you because for me...my husband is my hero. Oh and the hair...yeah the hair that my husband lost in clumps really got to me...I guess because when my husband had no hair, the cancer became real to me...but after the shock...I thought... "you are one hottie" and you my sister in Christ, are beautiful ..and I mean that. Fight the good fight--keep the faith! My husband and I are standing with you! By HIS stripes, you are healed!

You keep doing what you're doing and we'll keep praying. By the way, I often go to your dad's blog and love to read it as well. Heather,

But, they do those things because they don't care what others think. Some seem to think they have the right to say whatever they want, but they do not on a personal blog. I had to put my comments on moderation because of one person. I decided I wanted people to comment, but I wasn't allowing her to tell me what I could write or couldn't and she wasn't going to threaten me again. It has worked out great.
