We continue to pray for Oliver to be healed,and for your family to be embraced by Christ's blessings.

Yesterday our middle school along with two elementary schools in our district made Ollie over 1,000 heart felt Christmas cards. They should be to your home tomorrow or the next day. I am so sorry for your painful journey :(. It is a terrible struggle but you may find in the future that it was uniquely beautiful in the way that it touched so many. Ollie's impact will be greater than most of the rest of ours. It will last forever in the lessons of compassion, strength and courage which will be passed down by those who listen and live his message.<br /><br />Please understand that Ollie will be welcomed by so many others that you won't have to worry about him, he'll be in good hands.<br /><br />With the greatest respect and love,<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946990888543180506.post-50914495907192952342011-12-20T19:15:14.743-08:002011-12-20T19:15:14.743-08:00Oliver and family,

You might want to look at it and see if you think it might be helpful. The reviews are very good among believers. <br />Is Ollie able to use a computer or is he too sick? If he is I would like to help him send some greeting cards so he will feel he had reached out to someone. My name is Renee Fox and I live in Branson, MO. My email is reneejfox@gmail.com.

I think about you all quite often and think just how much I feel for you. I wish there were the perfect words to say to make you smile. I try to always help others in tough times by making them smile, but I never come up with much. I just think your little Ollie is an amazing soul. He has helped me realize how important it is to make sure to help and give to others. I think that is just great considering I'm an adult. Everyone should live with his mindset. It's just amazing. God will have him to great things I think. He's already an angel. I pray for you. Much love to you and your family.<br />Angela Bergman<br /><br />My daughter talks of Oliver a lot, she asked I'd tell you to tell him hello, she's 5, and a diabetic.

I certainly have no answers for all the things that are going on in your mind at the hardest time in your entire life but I do want to tell you this. YOU are a great Mom you are doing what feels right for YOU and Your family we are all different and we all handle things differently don't compare yourself to someone else and if somebody says something that offends you or makes you think your way is not the right way don't give them the satisfaction of having their thoughts have free rent in your head. Do the best you can do make the best memories you can, rely on Heavenly Father when you can't take it anymore. Be proud of the way you have raised Ollie and you have every right to grieve and be angry. Then when the time is right and you feel some sense of peace after what you have gone through, you will be able to see all the good things people see in YOU and you will be able to stop being so hard on yourself. Enjoy the precious time you have with your little angel and your other sweet children.

We heard about your journey through a former teacher from Southland, Angie Carlson. <br /><br />The students in Mrs. Jakubek's class were really touched by your story, and they are so proud of how strong you have been. Sometimes, life doesn't make sense, but we know that you have touched so many people's lives in your short ten years!<br /><br />May you find contentment and peace right now and continue to live each day to the fullest.
