Today Molly had a good physical day, but I don't think she knew that. She is so down, and she remembers the trauma. She won't try to talk because she is too depressed. Somehow, in my head, I thought that if she could ask questions, we could help her through this a little better. We have no idea what we are doing. Thanks, Deb for coming in. Mallory and her parents came in today and that was the only time Molly wasn't silently crying. I know this is going to be one of the harder things for her to deal with, and there will be a lot of trying periods along this rocky road. One day at a time. Hopefully, only one crisis at a time.
Det. Green, you have a very nice family. Thank your kids for the cards. They are too cool. And to our friends the lemonade vendors, this gesture touched me so much. I know that one day Molly will realize how extraordinary this is.
I hope that Molly will feel like visitors tomorrow. The only way to know is just to show up. It has to help her a little. Katy, you always make Molly feel special, like no one else can.
Good night my beautiful girls. May your dreams make you smile. Love you.

Molly,
Even though it seems ridiculously impossible now - someday you will be somebody else's "Mallory."
And that somebody will say "I don't know how I would have gotten through without Molly."
And then you will know that you have arrived full circle.
I wish you peace in your heart tonight.
love, a mom
Hi Blooms,
It's been awhile since I've spoken with any of you, but I hope you know you are constantly in my thoughts. Molly, I know that this whole thing stinks, and you must be crazy with just the thought of it all, but I also know that you are one incredible kid and if you are only able to absorb one thing each day let it be that you are so precious to so many. YOU are loved more than you could ever imagine. We are all cheering for you, and no one is louder than yours truly. I am so sorry this has happened Molly, I love you and I really believe you are going to live an amazing life ~ hang in there babe!!!
Loving you all tons and buckets,
Cindy
Bob and Bernie,
Time, time, time. It feels slow and painful now but with time things WILL look better. I thought it would help when Molly could talk too but now she needs time to process all the things we've been thinking about for so long. Stay strong! You are amazing parents! Molly is lucky to have such steadfast love and support.
Molly,
My kids (students) recorded a song for you before school ended last week. I will bring it in for you to hear soon.
As many people have written much more eloquently than I, you must take the time you need to come through this your own way. You are so strong and you have so much support but you have to do it your way. We are all here to help you in any way we can.
Love,
Kim (Chelsea's mom)
Molly,
I know you've been through a terrible tragedy and believe me, you are in my thoughts and prayers and I feel for you. Try to find the strength and have the faith to realize you are a lucky young lady. There are many people in hospitals all over the City, State, Country, and World much younger than you that will never leave the hospital. They aren't as fortunate as you. Keep the faith, fight the fight. You are still a beautiful person inside and out. Much better days are ahead.
The whole ordeal is so unfortunate and so unfair and I am sure that is how it feels to you all at this point too. I feel very lucky to have met you all and have you as friends. Molly you are a very strong beautiful lady. Have someone hold a mirror up for you and you will see that it is still you inside. That strong young woman that I know. You and your parents are wonderful people and we all want to help. It is your time to work through it but we are all here for you. You are already a hero to so many. Hang in there. Bob and Bernie, I can't even imagine what each day means for you. My thoughts are with you and I feel a little helpless now but look forward to the time that you all are ready for more company. Baby steps.
Hello Molly; It's 12:58 AM and I thought I'd come and wish you good night....gentle may you rest Molly and sweet dreams....charlie and Ginger the cat
Molly and family -
Yes, you are strong and there for each other, but sometimes,like today, there will be days when the physical and/or emotional pain is overwhelming. That's OK. Dealing with emotional and physical pain doesn't mean ignoring it or denying it.
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens: ... a time to break down, and a time to build up...A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance... "
One of the hospital chaplains or the psychiatric consultation-liaison service can also be very helpful, if you haven't yet encountered them.
I am coming to see you tomorrow Molly! I can't wait to see you, I love you!
Molly,
Your smile alone lights up everyone's face. Your wisdom is amazing. Your love for life will never end. Please stay strong and I promise you can make all your dreams come true. I believe in you and so does everyone else! I will always be praying for you!!
Bernie, Bob, Molly, Katy,
I happen to work with a wonderful young woman who will be putting in 4 hours as lifeguard at the swim-a-thon. She knows others who are willing to swim or make contributions.....even weekly payroll deductions.
It's doubtful that she will come forward and make herself known, but her name is Katie, from Arvada. She has so badly wanted to do something to help, and this is right up her alley.
I just want to reiterate how many "unknowns" are pulling for your wonderful girl.
Tough days ahead for all of you. When you don't think you have the strength......somehow it finds it's way into your being.
Much Love,
Deb (your cousin)
Hello Bob, Bernie, Katy and Molly, One day at a time would work real well at this time. There is going to be some downs for Molly as she learns what has happened. She is getting better and I know she will handle this in her time. God bless all of you.
I have to tell you my youngest son didn't make the jr. high honor roll this year, so I can't get one of those bumper stickers that say's so. So I made my own bumper sticker. It say's, I am the proud parent of a child whose self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn't need me promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of my car. Stay strong and stay cool.

Molly and Family - you are the strongest example of what it means to be brave and strong we have known in a long time. Through this trauma and ongoing daily rigor of pain, fear and unexpected challenge you face each day with eloquence, courage and integrity. Molly is looking at what has happened and the end result right in the eye. Her strength of character, love for family and will to survive will prevail. We are all cheering for you through our faith and daily vigil of hope and prayer that all of your burdens are lessened as each day passes. God bless you all and give you the strength to carry on.
miss molly...
last nite i was driving home with my friend and i noticed i was drinking a cup of water with some silly straw in it...and after thinking about it for a long while, i came to the realization that you were with me when we got those goofy straws. im sure you dont remember, but i sure thought of you when i was drinking that fine glass of water. i remember when we were little when i was out there visiting we took a walk to some convient store to get an icy, or slurpee, or something of that sort. and we got freakin bitchen straws to go with them.
i love you and miss you, and hope you have a wonderful day.
you are always in my thoughts.
love, jillllly
Molly, all the feelings you are having are ones you unfortunateley have to go through before the emotional healing begins.It is incredibly difficult. Please know that you are never alone. Your family and friends are with you always.
You may not think it now but you are an amazing beautiful person who has captured the hearts of many. Even in these difficult times, your strength and character shine through.
Bernie,Bob,and Katy, Molly is now starting to go through all the stages which you have already gone through. We have all had 3 weeks in which to do this, Molly is just beginning. As hard as it is to watch, it is a necessary step. Please try not to second guess yourselves. Molly knows that you are doing everything you can to make it easier for her.With your support and love, she will make it through.

Molly,
You are amazing, I honestly don't think that I, as an adult about to be 35 years old would be doing so well. I know you're sad and that your heart is broken and your mind is reeling, but your spirit is amazing and seems to be what is making strides! I am so impressed by you and your family and I love you so much and pray that you find a way to make this thing alright and that you become the inspiration that you seem to have been born to be.
Look into your heart to find the strength to carry on Molly, only you have to power to find it and take advantage of it!
Rooting for you and offering to you all of the love and faith in the world!
Joni
Molly,
Let your tears flow; they let those who love you know you are feeling. We want to share them with you and help to wipe them away.
So many hearts are sharing in your struggle, yearning to help.

Bloom Family-
I am praying for you today. I am praying for a day filled with hope and a renewed sense of optimism.
God Bless You All
It's okay to cry, Molly ... and Bernie and Bob and Katy. This whole thing is the absolute pits! But continue to remember that you are loved by many, many who don't even know you ... who read about how you are doing daily. We have our arms wrapped in a giant hug around you and our thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. It's a long road ... but you WILL make it. Much love ~ an Angels Mom
