ReplyDeleteI know it's good for your soul to be OUT of the confines of the hospital. And to be able to enjoy spring! Yay for y'all!

Lots of Love!
Tricia, you look gorgeous. So glad y'all are able to be out and about. You do both look very happy.

Enjoy yourselves and the wonderful outdoors. Soon there will be a stroller with miracle baby in it!!
God Bless you all

ReplyDeleteTricia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to see you up and about and EATING real food. I love the pictures in the bamboo, that is some huge bamboo. I am praying you continue to get stronger and maybe feed some of that yummy stuff to fatten Gwyneth up so she can be free like you are!!! Love you guys and prayers continue here for you. This is such a beautiful Miracle to behold.
Love, Laurie in Ca.
Tricia has reminded me that I need to smell more flowers and eat more ice cream with my little boy. You look so lovely, T, and I'm so genuinely happy for you. I haven't forgot about sending Ralphie some special cat food, I've just been extra busy.

Is it possible that one month ago, Tric was hooked up, on her "last lung" and not sure when/if she would get her new lungs?? PRAISE THE LORD!! She looks so wonderful. And being from the land of water ice, my family knows the sweet pleasure of Rita's! The joys of the simple things.... Great photos. We're praying for the perfect timing for a sweet return to the beach for your whole family! God is so good!
ReplyDeleteRITA'S!! I used to eat that every day my senior year in college. Well, when it was open! Do tell...what's Tricia's fav flavor?
ReplyDeletefirst of all, you are an amazing photographer. second of all, you two are so adorable together. third of all i wanted to tell you that today at the hospital i work in we had a table set up in the cafeteria all about "donate life" and they had a computer set up to register to be an organ donor and i am already an complete organ donor and i got a pin today and i have it on my name badge in honor of Tricia!!!!
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS

It just made me cry to see Tricia out looking so happy and healthy.
ReplyDeleteIt must be so great for Tricia to be outside, to feel the sunshine and the breeze, to go to Rita's, to eat what she wants (sort of:) when she wants!! God is so good! The simple things in life, the ones we take for granted some times, often hold some of the greatest blessings!
ReplyDeleteHow fun. It's so glad to see you two out and about together, and it's especially wonderful to see Tricia's smiling face. Great photos.

ReplyDeleteStacy :-)
I'm confused. Is there gelatis in Duke Gardens?
ReplyDeleteI actually burst into tears as I looked at these photos- not having "known" Tricia before Gwyneth's birth and reading about her on your blog, I am astounded by her beauty and health. She has always been beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I love how healthy and (silly word but-) robust! she looks!! And you don't look so bad yourself! :)
ReplyDeletePenny
Tricia, you look absolutely stunning girl! Keep up the good work. You both look so happy and healthy! Great photos Nate!
