My daughter loves this show and we watch it every Sunday night. Ever since we have been following your blog, she says....when Tricia gets her new lungs, they should build a house for them....I guess you just need a piece of land and a heartwarming video...which I am sure you could put together (the video...not sure about the land!) Kristin
The guy Jesse is in our program at work. I work with him and others with disabilities. He IS a truly amazing person. He just did a gallery showing in NY where his work is on display. Continuing to pray for your girls!
I just visited Tricia's blog for the first time. I already knew she was precious, but just reading about the things she likes was so fun. Cotton candy, yum, yum. It just made my heart leap for joy when I thought about what a fun and exciting mom she already is for her precious daughter. As a mom (to a little girl, as well) I can't imagine what Tricia goes through on a daily basis being away from her. Would you please just tell her this for me...babies NEVER forget their mommies. =) Although she can't see her and touch her in the way that she yearns to right now, she will one day. And, with her new lungs and baby girl's life ready for this world they are going to have so much fun catching up and getting to know one another. From one mom to another...tell Tricia not to give up and she is already a wonderful mother. Love, Amberly Deavours, Atlanta, GA
Hi there! I have just spent the past 3 hours (probibly more since I've lost track of time) reading every single one of your blog entires! I recieved the link via another friends blog, and I just wanted to say how blessed I have been from not only Trisia's & Gwen's story, but of yours as well...your love for Trisia and Gwen. It's refreshing! Just wanted to say hello and let you know I'll be praying for all of you! ~Britney Port-Au-Prince Haiti/Tampa, FL
EHM fan here too!! UNREAL!!! Just shows that NO DREAM is too small!! Not a week goes by that I don't cry. I agree -- ya'll should be next in line for a house!! A true inspiration!! Prayers- Bamagirl!!!
What a great show it was! Hopefully it warmed your heart as much as it did mine; if it did then you will know the feeling that you, Tricia and Gwyneth give us :-) I hope you are all feeling better.
Hi...I am a former lurker coming out into the open! I have totally been praying for you guys! Gwyneth is an absolute doll! So precious!
That was the best Extreme Home Makeover EVER! That is the wisest 19-year old I have ever seen! It is so amazing to me how God works! He may close a door for us, but he will always open a window!
I just watched that too! Patrick Henry should be an inspiration to us all to know that we can do whatever God has in store for us if we just put our minds to it!
I had seen some of Patrick's story on ESPN last football season. It's so exciting that ABC took care of them. It is truly amazing what that show does for families.
Glad to hear about Tricia and Gwyneth. And so glad you got to go to church. There's always a line of communication open to God, but there's just something about the worship experience in a group setting...
I love this show but missed it tonight.. hubby controlled the remote!! We just had a family up the road from our town receive an amazing home and barn for the horses they use in their theraputic riding program. They were believers and a fellow homeschool family as well who had lost their dad not to long before it was filmed. Many of my students got to go for the MOVE THAT BUS part! I always cry when I watch this - glad to know I'm not the only one!!
I look forward to EHM, too! I saw a comment about Pass the Pigs... that game taught me I can never go to Vegas! When I play with my kiddo's, I just KNOW that I won't get the one dot up; one dot down roll so I go for it... and then I get it! LOL Hey Tricia! I hope you have a good week, girl!!! ~ becky b
Tricia, After spending some time just now reading the stories people wrote about you and reading your own blog, I really wish that I could have the chance to get to know you. I live in Bethlehem, PA (just east of Allentown) and my birthday is June 25, 1982. When I found out that you are only a monthish older than me, your story really made an even bigger impact in my life! I have commented on here before, but this time wanted to write you a personal message. You have to realize what a huge impact your life and family's story has on so many people. Your heart for God in the midst of your lifelong trials is such a testimony! Reading about how everyone says you are the most cheerful, happy, God-fearing woman they know really makes me wish I could be more like you. (I don't want you to think that I am putting you on a pedestal like Nate said everyone is...) I think you could just be an awesome Christian influence on me. Your love for God is evident just by reading what everyone says about you, and from reading your own blog. Right now I am 28+ weeks pregnant, and I look forward to watching Gwyneth's progress as our children will be about the same (gestational) age. You and Nate seem like such a fun couple, and I would love the chance one day to meet you in person. I hope to one day be able to! I check Nate's blog at least a half a dozen times a day, and will continue to pray for you and Gwyneth and think about you often. Thank you for allowing me to know you through this blog.
