I'll never forget the candor with which you spoke of her. I pray that God continues to give you peace, perspective, and grace as you help others in their struggles. Blessings!

Thank you for sharing her life and example with this community. God bless you and your family on this day.

If I ever go through something like this, I pray that my wife and I will do so with the grace, openness, and love that you and your wife have shown. You are an inspiration.

Your love and devotion for Megan has always touched my heart. This last year in Abilene has helped me get to 'know' Megan through your sharing of memories and your grief at her absence. Reading today's blog, then listening to the wonderful song Karen posted was more than my poor heart could stand and I cry in grief for and with you and Diane. From her picture, it's obvious that Megan truly was bautiful, but more so, her beauty shines through your love for her. Thank you for including us in this, one of your very special days. Mike,

Thanks for your openness and willingness to teach other people through your grief. I never met Megan, but I have been impacted by her life through your stories. Thank you.

August 26th will always be "Megan day" for me. I was thinking how I went through a dozen pairs of sunglasses with that girl. She was so fast! There were times I would have sworn she was brillant and I was the handicapped one. She had a way of getting what she wanted from me... that crooked smile would get me when the fast hands didn't. I confess that we may have dropped by Larry's Better Burger for Butterfinger Ice Cream more times than you and Diane knew. Matt may remember that. Mr. Lemmoms was so right about the blessings that far outweighed the effort it took to care for Megan. I was one of the lucky ones she "ministered to" and I will be forever better because of her. Thank you! I woke up thinking about you guys today.

I admire your heart as a father, and as a man of God. I don't know what it's like to have the intense hurt of losing a child thrown at you, but one thing I do know from what I have read on your blogs, and especially from today, If I ever have to walk through the valley as you and your spouse have, I pray that I may do so with the same courage, and faith you express. Mike,
