All we can do right now is tell you how much your family is loved and that we are all continuously praying for you, and for your strength to continue through each day. No matter what you think, you are doing a great job, in incredibly difficult circumstances. I don't know anyone who could've done it better. Take care, be blessed.<br />Amy HaltermanAmy Haltermannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-91287139066032056602011-12-27T21:17:48.012-08:002011-12-27T21:17:48.012-08:00Stacy,
I have been following your blog for a while...Stacy,<br />I have been following your blog for a while. I check in periodically to see how things are going, because your family has become important to me. Your words give such a sense of the experience you are in: you have touched so many with your honesty and let Ollie's personality shine through, too. I have a 6 year old daughter, so as a mother, I try to empathize with your pain. These words seem hardly enough to express the depth of heartfelt empathy I have for you and your family! You are doing your absolute best in an incredibly difficult time. My heart goes out to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-11492952034106880232011-12-21T17:59:56.748-08:002011-12-21T17:59:56.748-08:00Stacy,
you are absolutely right. Everyones journe...Stacy, <br />you are absolutely right. Everyones journey and battle is different. But I want you to know that you are the only one who sees you as a failure! There are always going to ups and downs...now and in the future. Your struggles won't end once Ollie has gone home...BUT!!!! you are a success at motherhood....you have a unique bond and perpestive into your childrens lives. And although there are so many people out there that love you and Ollie and your family...it is you that loves him most and he knows that...unconditional love....only one other love can compare..and that is our Savior who made it possible for you to be with your son again.<br />I love you stac!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12482748374943180777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-16362298492229090192011-12-20T11:55:00.384-08:002011-12-20T11:55:00.384-08:00I pray for you guys daily and that Oliver will kno...I pray for you guys daily and that Oliver will know he will see you again and that he won't be scared. I can't imagine having to go through all he has at his age. Please please don't ever think you are a failure. You have done so much through this whole journey. I think if it was me I would have had a nervous breakdown and been in a hospital somewhere. You have every right now cry, and to scream and to just break down at times completely. I don't think you would be human if you didn't. I wish I was able to help so much. I know I will never ever fully understand what you are going through. But if you ever need anything don't hesistate.Carrie Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-85868853909293738062011-12-20T11:39:53.323-08:002011-12-20T11:39:53.323-08:00I am praying for your family.

I have to agree with the post above, you have been inspiring me also. Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers. Mys on goes to Lou Henry, ever since we did that penny drive for Oliver, you guys have been in my thoughts. I want to thank you for this blog. I know if must be hard to keep up with it, but I really appreciate you sharing the Palmer family journey with us :)Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-35725556272910509002011-12-20T08:36:12.219-08:002011-12-20T08:36:12.219-08:00I wanted to reach out to you to let you and Ollie ...I wanted to reach out to you to let you and Ollie know how much he has touched my heart, as well as many others I work with. Yesterday I went into Hy-vee and saw a photo of Ollie and my heart broke. I work at Election Systems & Software and soon Ollie will be getting a package full of Christmas cards from all of us here at ES&S, letting him know he has touched each and every one of our hearts. <br />Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.Marissa Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-44089185149092070652011-12-20T04:15:02.875-08:002011-12-20T04:15:02.875-08:00Stacy,
I've been following Oliver's story...Stacy,<br /><br />I've been following Oliver's story only for a few weeks now but it has touched my heart forever. He is such a brave little guy and it breaks my heart reading about his fear and condition. Every night I pray for him to have a wonderful Christmas with you and hope he enjoys this short time he has left. I also pray for you, I have no idea how hard this must be for his family so I pray for you to be strong and make some more precious memories. <br /><br />I am sorry if I don't find the right words to express my feelings properly. I'm from Germany and sometimes I don't know the right words. But I wanted to let you know there are people out there who are inspired by the way you handle all this. You're not a failure. You're actually the best parent a kid could wish for. You give him so much love and show him so many things.<br /><br />I wish I could come around and help you with meals or whatever but it's way too far. So instead I will see if there someone around here who might need my help. I wish there was more I could do.<br /><br />xoxo<br />DeniseDenisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-3784948475932929822011-12-19T23:08:13.402-08:002011-12-19T23:08:13.402-08:00My heart continues to ache for you. I wish there ...My heart continues to ache for you. I wish there was a bandaide to fix it all. I think it's okay to break down every once in awhile around the kids. It lets them know they too can break down and not hold it all in. I pray the Lord will guide your family through this time.smiliesarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750208321462056846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-38119787762088737582011-12-19T17:59:54.150-08:002011-12-19T17:59:54.150-08:00I am so sorry for what your family is going throug...I am so sorry for what your family is going through. My son's class just lost a classmate over the summer between first and second grade to DIPG. I miss him so much. His parents have such strong faith and their faith has helped those around them to become stronger as well. My son and I talk a lot about Caleb and how exciting it will be for him to celebrate his first Christmas in heaven with Jesus. You do whatever you can do right now. Don't worry about anyone else's expectations. If you want to keep the kids home from school, just do it. If you want some time with just Oliver, do it. Don't feel guilty about anything. Just love your baby boy with all your heart every minute you have him here on earth with you. And you will be together again someday. Hold on to that. Much love and prayers to you and your family. I just found this blog last week and Oliver has been in our prayers every night since. <3<br /><br />Barb<br />WisconsinJust Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337656945319326438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-11864752063215623192011-12-19T17:15:45.415-08:002011-12-19T17:15:45.415-08:00Stacy, I know you asked for readers to let Oliver ...Stacy, I know you asked for readers to let Oliver know how he has touched their lives. His bravery and generosity are the first things that come to my mind. But, honestly, as a mom, I am inspired by you, Stacy. The efforts you make to create joy with your family in the middle of this unbelievably stressful time are simply amazing. Your feelings are completely understandable, normal and you articulate them in a refreshingly honest way. You are a super mom not because you are perfect but because you are you. All of your children are lucky to have you. God bless. I wish for you and your family peace.

Just know that there are people here to listen and empathize with you and your family and to support you however we can. I pray you find some peaceful moments over the coming days.
