The PERFECT Birthday
Thank you everyone for all of your comments. I love reading them all and I got so many cards from everyone and all I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I LOVE YOU ALL. My hospital room looks like a gift shop; I have over twenty balloons, many flowers and teddy bears and cards galore. I have spent the time to read all of your comments and cards and it has made me feel so loved and grateful. This has been a wonderful birthday: I got to see my family and boyfriend, many cards and gifts and great news from the doctors( = My spine is free of leukemia cells which means this should be a speedy recovery. Second day of chemotherapy and everything has been going smoothly. I got more gifts than I have ever wanted: a stunning second promise ring from my parents and a beautiful bracelet from my boyfriend with both of our names engraved in it and many many more gifts. All of the comments and everything you all have been doing for me has been the best gifts ever. To top everything off my grandparents bought me a Madonna Inn chocolate curled cake ( although I have lost my appetite so no cake for me) and I got to see both of my beautiful sisters. Aryel has been by my side for every second waiting on me on hand and foot, and she inspired me to begin the blogging. Although I did not get to hug my baby sister and be close to her, I got to see her outside my room and try to give her all of my love. This is not the way I thought I was going to spend my birthday, but I wouldn't want to change anything. I truelly enjoy reading all of your comments and all of these cards too. They help me stay so strong and make me feel better after all the medicine. Each time I look at the comments and cards, I stop and think about how greatful and loved I am. I don't know how many times I can keep saying how much I love everything and all of the support. I will keep updating everything and loading more pictures too. ;)

So glad you liked the cards! hahaha...member when we went outside to the top of your hill and sat at the table crying while making your mom apology cards and "relaxing" coupons haha because we played dress up in her room and when we went to hang the LAST dress up the entire clothes hanger pole thing came completely off the wall and we looked at eachother and didnt know whether to laugh or cry because we were so scared. Lol, love you Noey, can't wait for you to get back so we can make some more hilarious memorie<3

Noel I am so glad you had a wonderful Birthday. Though we were not home, everyone was still able to be a part of it---friends and family! I love you with all my heart Noelly. You have got to be, without a doubt, the bravest person I know. You are going through so much at such a young age and it really shows your strength. Not only are you brave, but you are strong---mentally and physically. Keep fighting, and yes, you WILL win cousin! I love you dearly. Never forget. I am ALWAYS here for you and am willing to do anything for your safety, survival, or even comfort. Just let me know what you need. Keep blogging. I'll be on tomorrow love:)

Good Morning Noel,
ReplyDeleteBummer, you didn't get to eat the cake, those are yummy! So glad that you enjoyed your b-day celebration. Sounds as though your family and friends made you feel very special.
We were elated to hear that your spine has no leukemia cells....Praise God, first miracle of the many yet to come. Glad that the treatments are not making you sick, we pray it stays that way. Give my Aryel a big hug from me. Have a good day sweetheart, and remember you are loved.

Noel, you truly are an amazing young lady!! When Carol told me of your diagnosis, I was heart sick for you and your family and haven't stopped praying for you since. I am so encouraged by your strength in the LORD and your positive attitude and spirit. Sometimes these trials can be so overwhelming and yet when we hold onto HIS Word it is miraculous how we can get through them with such peace. You are so blessed to have the support from your family and friends. Isn't it so wonderful to be a part of God's family and see how everyone comes together to show love, help, encouragement and whatever else we may need. I will be keeping you all in my prayers for continued healing for you sweetie and strength, comfort and peace for all of you!
