    I have nothing really to say about this, Brenda - it's not for me to comment on. Take care.

    It must have been hard writing from that view of someone suffering in such a way.

    Miss Brenda,

    Just to say - a piece that is heart-breaking

    Much love

    Thank you all. This was a very difficult poem to write. These are from conversations I have had with Andrea concerning Robyn. As a mom to have your child suffering like this is beyond comprehension, I only have my words, a small consolation that doesn't even come close.

    Many of us know of this story, which is why it probably tugs so much

    Regardless of how we understand things to be (as best we can), it is a fantastic work and well deserving of nomination.

      Craig, thank you so much. Cancer sucks and there is no way around this. It takes so much from the entire family. This is a piece of the not so niceties, as if any of this disease is.

    I don't know from where you get this much strength. Hugs to you and Andrea.

      Shane, I have no strength, really I don't. I hope I am able to send strength to Andrea and bird, because this is the most exhausting and hardest thing I think a parent faces.

    It hurts to read, it hurts to write and it's
    even more painful for one to go through
    this plight..hugs to you and Andrea

      Thank you Meena. To have to go through this as a mother and this child dealing with disease, trying to maintain your dignity, your sense of you, even a sense of humor when so much is being thrown at you. It takes incredible strength from all parties involved and the fact both Robyn and Andrea continue to stand tall and handle all of this really tells you how amazing they are. Hugs to you-
