"You were a very brave girl when you had your surgery. It made me feel good to know that as I prayed for you the day you went in the operating room, the prayers were answered. I've never seen such a true angel as you truly are. They say you only see angels in your dreams. Well, I can say the world has seen one on WJZ TV. You are truly an Angel to me. I know the world can say the same. I know you feel special, and you are. Your mommy and daddy are very proud of you; they are truly blessed by you. God has sent such an angel to them. There is a reason why you had this little set back in life. He feels sometimes not all our parts work for us, so he sends someone special to take care of these little ones. You have your mommy and daddy who were chosen for you. I had brain surgery, and I was scared watching you walk down the hall way. You were so much more brave than me. As with mine, I have some little problems. I just say thank you for letting me live another day. Now you will see when you sleep the angels as they did with me. They watched over me when I slept. I knew they were there with me. You will feel this special set of wings that wrap around you as you sleep. Tell mommy and daddy you are safe. I have loved that they have such good doctors who really care for us. And special mommies and daddies who care. To Jessie's mom and dad, you are truly blessed by a special little girl. I wish I could say this in person. We all have someone that loves us more. I am glad we have good doctors too. I am doing well with my recovery. She will too. She has the heart of a lion, and the wishes of many angels above. May you have the rest of your lives and life as if it was the first time. She has gotten over the worse part. Now she will heal, and you will see a life time of joy. May God bless you all, and I will continue to pray for her. Now you both take a small breather for a moment. She is in good care." -- Debbie Mullins

"I just watched the segment on the news about Jessie and was compelled to write something. Through my own personal experience with my now 7-year-old daughter, I know how agonizing this is for your family. My daughter, right before her second birthday, faced the threat of lymphoma. What's so ironic about this is, the day before I felt the lump under her jawline, I was distraught about losing a job. When doctors told me, I did the best I could to control my emotions for my baby's sake, but when I got outside of UMMS, it was like my breath completely left my lungs, and all that emotion just poured out. Although the outcome for my baby was good and there was no cancer, the emotion, the sheer helplessness, that feeling of wanting to take that pain for your child instead of her, I know it all too well. That scar on my baby's face is a reminder of what it is to love a person beyond words, beyond all emotion, beyond your heart. I see that love in your face Kristi every time I see you on the news, and I know that little angel is in more than great hands with you as her Mommy. And hubby too, not to leave him out but this is girl talk, lol. I pray that the good Lord truly blesses the hands of all of those responsible for her care, strengthens the family and friends who are there to support her, and that your little princess recovers speedily and completely. God bless you all. I only wish I could do more." -- The Hill Family: Tinna, Kenne and Gabi, Columbia, Md.
