Let us raise our children to believe in themselves...teach them from an early age that they can do and be whatever they set their minds to..Self-esteem is the key!

God bless you, Ron!

My granddaughter has had five surgeries to date. Much of her birthmark has been successfully removed. Candace handled each surgery and recovery quite well. She is a real trooper.

I'm sure I will be updating her progress as time goes on.

Thanks, Ron, my newest friend.

I just now found you and your Beautiful reviews today because you made yourself know to me by reading and rating one of my reviews. I'm sorry I did not meet you a few years ago and get a chance to start reading your work then. I realize this is 17 months later but I hope your Granddaughter is doing much better these days. Please update me by comment or Email and God Bless you and Your Family My NEW "E" Friend, Ron.

Thank God, after 6 weeks, Candace continues to do well in Chicago Children's Memorial Hospital. Her next surgery is scheduled for December 18 when the birthmark will be removed and replaced with her newly expanded skin!! Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!

God Bless.

I have grown to love her through your writings!

Well, if that photo on your profile page is post-facial reconstruction surgery, then all I can say is your surgeon is excellent! Good luck to you as you continue your recovery.

..you ever heard of Dave Roever? You really should get his video that they use in classrooms of teachers that want to.

I bought one for my dad (teacher) and he was hesitant to use it. When he did, he saw a response like you would not believe.

Dave was burned all over by a phosphorous grenade in VietNam and is the most marvelous man I have ever seen.

Look him up on www.google.com. I can not remember the address. I think you would really appreciate him and his message. He is truly a hero. And he has to deal with stares and remarks every day.

Email me if you want to know any more.

I have met Dave in person and he is one special person.

She is a beautiful little girl and sounds like a strong spirited one, too. How anyone could be cruel to a child is beyond me. I will keep your granddaughter in my prayers!

Hi Mimi!
I wish so much that I could finally meet this wonderful little doll of yours. I wish that my kids could play with her, and learn from her. Maybe someday.

Love and prayers to you and your family,
