ReplyDeleteHi Nate, Tricia and Gwyneth,
ReplyDeleteI have been an avid reader for months, and my family has been following the hand of God on your lives. We are thrilled that things are going so well for you all!
I just wanted to let you know that my 15 year old daughter went to get her driver's license permit last week and we discussed organ donation. We discussed Tricia in fact. She whole heartedly agreed to be a donor. Made this momma proud!
The pictures are beautiful. Keep sharing, keep witnessing and keep loving!
Took my breath away and I just stared.
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful...
...all of you!
Heidi R.
Beautiful is so true. I just love seeing Tricia holding her baby girl.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to see, miracles in action. You are so blessed Nate, and I hope you realize that when you are all together back home with Nika, you are outnumbered by females.:) Praying for home for you soon!
Love, Laurie in Ca.
I would have to agree... they are both beautiful and amazing miracles!!!

ReplyDeleteJulie from Alabama
What precious, precious, precious photos! Definitely ones that need to be framed and hung at home, that's for sure!!! BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteI am a mom with a 3 year old daughter with CF and I just would like to say, that although your story was hard emotionally for me to read at times, thinking about what my Emma may have to go through someday, you ALL are truly an inspiration. It's ironic b/c Emma's favorite place to be is the outerbanks in NC! I saw something about milepost 13...we stayed in Kitty Hawk and Kill Devils Hill when we were there. Emma loved the waves, the beach, and the "salty" air doesn't hurt either! I am absolutely amazed how your story worked out...the odds you all faced and the fact that they were conquered! The baby is beautiful and most of all as a mom with a daughter with CF, I am so happy for Tricia that she got a chance at a "new life" and got a chance to be a mom...that to me is what I hope for Emma too. We are sending our prayers your way...Nate, stay strong...you are doing a wonderful job and you must be a really great man...as well as Tricia, stay strong...keep positive. We are thinking of you all!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Nate, Tricia and Beautiful Baby,
ReplyDeleteHi! I am a mom with a three year old with Cystic Fibrosis. Her name is Emma, and I would just like to say that your story is so inspirational. One of Emma's very favorite places to go from Pittsburg, PA where we live is the Outer Banks...she loves the beach, and the waves and the "salty" air never hurts! I just got on this site and I must say that it is so moving for me as a mom with a child with Cystic Fibrosis. I can't imagine what you all have been through but I am thrilled for Tricia that she was given the chance at a "New" life and granted the wonderful experience of being a mom! She and your baby are beautiful beings and we are praying for you! Although at times this is hard to read for me, b/c I envision, my little Emma going through some of these heart wrenching things, it gives me faith that in the end, it will work out! Thank you for sharing your story...we are doing great strides on May 18 th up here and in the last 3 years we've raised approximately 25,000 dollars to aid in the vital research needed to get the statistics up higher or our hope is that they eventually go away completely. Emma is doing well thus far...with a CRAZY schedule and it is such a busy life but she is so special and worth it. Much love to all of you.
Love, Wendi
