Comments:: Hello Olsen Family,

I found out about you early this a.m. as I ran in Forest Park. I found a pink/yellow band with the website written on it. And here I am. As a mother, I am touched to see the community come together around you as you fight this battle. I am also moved that you would take the time to educate others about this medical nightmare. I look forward to keeping up with you on this site. My best wishes are with you. Best. Surfer Girl

Comments:: Hello Olsen family. Amazing website, amazing story. Your kids are breathtakingly beautiful.
Way back in the "journey" section, you wrote that you are not alone. That is SO true, as evidenced by the tens of thousands of people thinking of you and by the God that walks with you through this too difficult journey.
You can add us to the very long list of people keeping you in our prayers.
Much love,
Kara and Roger Cecil and family

Comments:: I had heard comercials on the radio for your "Walk For Our Two Angels" and celebration for your childrens 3rd birthday. I spoke with an old friend of mine today (Kristen Carpenter) who started telling me she was in town for your walk and that she is a very dear friend to your family. She gave me your website address where I read your hard journey thus far, and I send my thoughts and prayers to your family! What beautiful children, the pictures on this website are priceless - they definately are two angels!

Comments:: I heard about your family through my husband who works for Dave at Quiznos and was very touched by your story.

I know this must be a very trying time for you and your family, however, you have shown me again how the love of a child is the greatest gift of all no matter how long you have it.

My son is three and it touches me to my very soul, and words cannot express my feelings.

God bless you and keep you strong.

I remember meeting Taylor at Grandma Bev's last year along with Braden, and just remembering how precious and how excited she was to be around her family. Yesterday I saw that same look on her face, when I walked up and said Happy Birthday to her and Graham. You're in my thoughts and prayers daily. I love you all!!!

I just wanted to say good luck with your walk tomorrow and to say happy birthday to Taylor and Graham. Even though I don't really know you guys I think about and pray for all of you every day.

It was wonderful to meet you and all your extended family at the wedding. Braedon and Kirsten, you looked so beautiful. I'm sure Noah will write a song about that event sometime in the future. He was so moved by everyone's support and love. Speaking of that, we wanted you to know that although we couldn't be at the walk in person, we will have you and the twins especially in our hearts tomorrow. We hope to take our own special walk for your angels on the beach in the evening and send you our love with the setting sun. Fred and Melissa

It reminded me that as our lives go on it's not the destination or the length of the journey - it's the memories we create in each moment.

Let me know whatever I can do to help.

Comments:: I Lost my 19yr old son last year June 25th at Rockaway Beach, Oregon in a drowning accident. He left behind a beautiful baby girl who is now 2. My heart and prayers are with you both. We have a girl at our church whose name is
Kayla McCullough who was just pronounced with an inoperable brain tumor and they are only giving her a year or less to live. I will create a prayer circle at our church for your
boys. Only God can perform our healing miracles if medicine cannot. My family feels your pain and our hearts go out to you and your family. I hope we can make the walk.

God Bless you all,

Risa Sullivan

Thank you to all our many friends and family who share this journey with us.
