Sunday May 21, 2006
Molly's cap, gown, and tassle hung in her hospital room today as her class held its graduation ceremonies. We had our own quiet ceremony and wished we could have been there because we are so extremely proud of all that our Angel Molly has accomplished, not only in these last 8 days, but in all the days that have led up to this. Molly has always been an "A" student who was and is well liked by her teachers for her beautiful spirit, strong sense of individuality, and crazy sense of humor.
Molly rested today after a hard day yesterday. She is still stable, and that's a good day.
So many people have asked how they can help us, so, it is with reluctance that we address this subject, but the friends who established this fund want us to post the address. The fund was set up to help pay for Molly's recovery expenses. This is going to be a very long and extensive process due to the nature of her wound.

Once again, thanks to all the people who have held us up and kept us going. We would never have made it this far without you.
Good night, Molly. Sweet dreams. We love you.

Bernie,
Your thoughtful updates are so helpful to those of us who care about you, Molly, and your family. I am lighting a candle everyday for Molly. It reminds me to continue sending the most positive thoughts your way. Your inner strength is inspiring, and so important to Molly's recovery. May Molly continue to heal, one day at a time.

molly bloom...
even though you ride to school on a broom and eat hot dogs with spoons, you would still have to be one of my favorite people ever. i came to visit you a couple days ago, and i saw your prom picture. i really think it was the best picture i've ever seen of you--you looked amazing. you have so many people pulling for you molly, you have to stay strong and remember that there so many people who love you. get better super soon, because i have no one to belly dance with until you get better. (katie isn't very good). you rock like sidewalk chalk :)

Molly Bloom,
Congratulations on your Graduation. I love you so much and I will miss kissing you and talking to you when I go back home tomorrow. Please know I will be back as soon as the time is right.And my heart remains with you every second of each day. I asked your mom for one of your tee shirts to sleep in. The one I took from Grandma that Katy gave her is getting pretty ratty. And with my new sleep shirt you'll be with me all the time. Keep fighting because you are without a doubt the strongest person I have ever known.
I love you and I will miss you.

Mollis,
Happy Graduation!!! I'm so glad we spent the first two years of high school together. You taught me how to be strong, how to joke around, how to smile, and much more. I know you will continue to be the same strong, motivated, and wonderful girl you were when we first met four years ago and I know you are ready for the next chapter in your life. Everyone is very proud of you today-first off for earning your diploma, and second for fighting as hard as you've fought these past eight days. Make sure to dress up in your cap and gown as soon as you can! Today is your day. I love you.

Bernie and Bob-
Thank you for constantly being there for Molly. She loves you very much and has always said how much you mean to her. I know today was an important day for her and your whole family and that both of you helped her achieve such greatness.

THE GOODTIMBER
The tree that never had to fight
For sun and sky and air and light,
But stood out in the open plain
And always got its share of rain,
Never became a forest king
But lived and died a scrubby thing.
The man who never had to toil
To gain and farm his patch of soil,
Who never had to win his share
Of sun and sky and light and air,
Never became a manly man
But lived and died as he began.
Good timber does not grow with ease,
The stronger wind, the stronger trees,
The further sky, the greater length,
The more the storm, the more the strength.
By sun and cold, by rain and snow,
In trees and men good timbers grow.
Where thickest lies the forest growth
We find the patriarchs of both.
And they hold counsel with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
Of many winds and much of strife.
This is the common law of life.
Continue to be positive and strong.

Dear Bernie,Bob,Katy,Molly
First congratulations Molly on completing high school and moving on to C.U.

Bernie, Bob, Kathy, thanks for making Molly's Page. It is really helpful. Your spirit comes through with the updates and is comforting and uplifting to all of us. Molly is in our mind reguarly and believe me, we are routing and praying for her. You folks take care of yourselves and know that we are thinking and praying for you also. Love,respect and thanks. Bob & Berniece Macklin, Hampton, Va.
Molly,
We love you so much. I don't know what more to tell you. With every passing moment, we are thinking of you and missing you and waiting for you to wake up so we can sing Fiddler on the Roof songs and selections from Les Mis! You have an amazing spirit Molly. You've always been such a joy to be around. I hope you know that. The times I've spent with you have always been full of laughter and joy and the most care-free happiness I may have ever experienced. And most, if not all, of that laughter was a result of your random comments and perfectly timed jokes. I only hope that when it's my turn, I can comfort you and give you things to smile about. It's not going to be easy, but I know that with all the people that love you, you will find your way and continue to bring joy to everyone whose lives you touch. Don't be afraid to ask for help, we are all here to hold you up and help you recover. And we will be your strength when you don't think you have enough to go on. Please don't ever forget that. I know Alex and Tara will be able to visit you a whole bunch soon, and I'm going to try to leave work early as much as possible, so far it's been a little difficult, but you have so much love around you there and I'm with you in spirit every second. I hope you are getting plenty of rest and building your strength. There's still much ahead of you, but you will persevere and continue to blossom as one of the brightest, loveliest, most adorable Blooms I know. :)
Bob and Bernie,
You too are in my thoughts along with your eldest daughter. I can't believe the amount of strength you all have shown and continue to show throughout this ordeal. I am truly touched by the breadth and depth of your courage. Molly is a very lucky girl to have such an awesome family, capable of so much dedication and hope. I hope that you all know what a shining example of love you all are. Please, please, please, call us if you need anything, even just a walk to 7-Eleven for smokes or some bagels. :) I'm going to make a flyer for Molly's fund and have my parents post it at their jobs (hey Bob, my dad works at the post office too!) to get the word out. Our numbers are 303-882-0306 and 303-628-5669. We love you guys.
Dear Mom and Dad Bloom
Imagine it -- hear it -- see it -- feel it-- believe it -- know it -- and fear not -- candles are burning for you and dear Molly. Love lights the way!

Bobby & Bernie...
I feel like I know you and your family very well...I am Robin Secher's cousin from Pittsburgh and we are very close. She has always spoken about you both and your children with a sparkle in her eye. I am truly sorry for what has happened to Molly and can't even imagine the pain you all must be feeling. I have 2 sons, Daniel (13) and Dylan (3 1/2), so, as a parent, my heart hurts for all of you. Please know that I say a prayer every day for Molly's recovery and your internal sustenance. Keep the faith.

Dear Molly
You do not know me, but I am friends with your sister Katy. I have been praying for you and thinking about you each and every day. You are a strong woman and will push through this difficult time. May each day be a day of success, and a step forward. You have so many people out there that are thinking and praying for you and your family. I want to give you a quote that I read on a daily basis, which helps me through my hard times. My wishes to you Molly. I will be thinking of you.

I don't know you Molly, but my brother knows your mother. He has a daughter about your age. He told me about your accident. I just wanted you to know that people in Casper Wyo are praying for your quick recovery and inner strength to get through this horrible ordeal. You can do this, Molly! With a little help from your friends...Don't be afraid to 'lean on' them and HIM when you need to. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Hi Molly,
I couldn't wait to read the posts by your lovely and stoic parents today and am pleased to know that you are being so well cared for!
We watched our son graduate yesterday and we cheered our hearts out for him and for you!
When the audience stood and cheered, something initiated by your class, I think for a minute I saw a halo above your picture!! ;o)
I hope that you, dear little angel, know how loved you are!
Stay strong and believe in yourself!
Molly's parents - I hope you're doing alright, although I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through, but make sure to ask those that you can ask for the help you need to stay strong for Molly!
Please give Molly's hand a gentle squeeze for me!
Much love and admiration!
Molly,
Although we didnt know each other all that well, I have still thought about you every day this past week, and sometimes cry when I talk about you. I had a dream about you the other night. You were up and well and perfectly healthy, and you were bouncing around and very happy. You were beautiful and perfect. I know that was not just a silly a dream, and I know deep inside myself that you are going to come out of this just as strong and beautiful and you have always been. I am sure of it. I love you and I will see you soon!
Love,
Laura Brin
