  18. What a great picture. I just have to say that Meko is a real cutie! We have 5 pugs, all rescues. Isn't it amazing how many of these adorable, funny little dogs are abused and abandoned? I love reading your blog! You have a wonderful family!

  28. Great job and great pics!! I cannot do the walk, but I did give you some $$ --wish I could do more. I have MS and my family participates in the MS150 volunteering, fund raising and riding. We all need to do these things to eradicate some of these diseases!! Glad to see the team that walked for Tricia

  30. I've been reading your blog for awhile and was amazed today when you posted a picture of someone I know! I cannot believe you know Charlotte. My husband was on staff at her home church and was actually her brother and sister's youth minister. She is such an amazing person. What a small world.

  31. Hi- I have recently found your blog and have been praying for you since! Tricia sounds like one tough lady and Gwyneth is a strong baby! It is really awesome that you update daily! It is a constant reminder of God's great works! What a brave husband/dad!

  33. How awesome!! Our walk is next Saturday, and we are looking forward to it. We had our one big fundraiser last night and raised about $4000. I think our team will exceed our goal of $10,000 this year. One step closer...:)

    Love to all.

  38. We had a great time "Walking for Tricia" Saturday and would like to challenge everyone to join a team in their area or create a team and walk to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. It was fun and educational for my children to learn to raise money for a cause. Tricia and Nate you have been such an inspiration to me and my family and friends that the least we could have done was to walk in Tricia's honor. It was so nice to meet you, Meka and Agnes.
