Hey there Mahonyha.
Since I have gotten back to Vancouver I have checked your blog every day for updates on your condition.
Then I read what your mom wrote and I let out a little giggle. Just when I was coming to terms with saying
good by, your condition remarkably improves. You are one amazing woman Mahonyha. Your determination
Inspires me. I love you.
My prayers and giggles are with you always, Sahjia xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox……….
Welcome
This site is dedicated to Mahonyha.
For my little sister, You are my biggest inspiration! I am so proud of your courage and your devotion to healing yourself.
This site was created for two reasons: I am hoping that the majority of the posts in this blog will be from all of you, as a way to connect with Mahonyha, by posting your messages of support and wishes of wellness. This could prove to be a daily encouragement for her to visit the site and read what you have written. As well as a way for her to share with you. And secondly I am hoping that we will be able to raise some funds to assist the family with their costs for her health and medicine. Do not feel obligated to donate, for those who can or wish to the option is there, but I do hope most of you if not all of you who view this site, friends and strangers alike, will send your words of encouragement and support (Send posts to megan_moore1978@yahoo.com). Create a free Google account and "Follow This Blog" (Left hand column) On behalf of Mahonyha and all who love her "Thank You!"

Still Praying and thinking of you.
Dear Mahonyha
I just wanted to let you know we are still praying and thinking of you. I still have the bracellet on and check the website every day to see if anyone has added anything. I am glad there are so many people who care about you and am assured that you are in the hands of some very caring and loving people. I pray that you are comforted. I am not quite sure what to say so I picked you a bible verse from my box of promises ( it is a little box with different verses from the bible on it and then there is also a prayer on the back). When I was younger my mother used to always pick me out one before going to school when I was affraid or worried about something. So I have come to do that when I need answers or encouragement. I have had some really encouraging verses that were needed just at the right time. I have also picked some for my friends and people at our church. Sometimes they make no sense to me but I give them anyway and am told it helps them. My mom says she has done the same thing. Here is the vese:
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Galatians 6:9
and the prayer on the other side is Thank you, God for people who help with no thought or recognition or reward. Help me to be one of those people.
Your Mother is Also in my prayers.
I cann't immagine what she must be going through.
My Mother lost her daughter to cancer in 2001. I of course lost my only sister. There was something that happened to me before she passed away that I will never forget. She could not move at all so we just sat on her bed (She was so blessed she was able to stay at home and be surrounded by helpful caring and loving people many who were nurses because she herself was a nurse). I did not know what I could do so I just read the bible to her. When it was time for me to leave I leaned over to give her a kiss on her cheek and she moved her lips to the side so I could kiss her lips. I thank God for that moment.I believe It was a gift from him to help me with my faith and have this story to tell you.
God Bless You and those around you
Love Carol Shypitka

Dear Mahonyha,
We were told about your struggle by Doreen and Ken Rushka. We are proud to call Doreen and Ken our friends and soon will have the privilege to call them our family when our daughter Paula and their son Rodd are married. Rodd and Paula have just recently announced their engagement and we are thrilled that our families will soon be joined. When we asked Ken and Doreen how we could help you and your family, they suggested that we contact their son Trevor by email. We know that you and Trevor are old friends and we were touched when we read his, and others, entries to your BlogSpot and learned that Trevor is working hard to promote a fundraiser in your honour in Calgary. We have never met you, Mahonyha, but the fact that Trevor is so determined to do good for you and your family is a testament to the wonderful young woman that you undoubtedly are. After communicating with Trevor, it was his suggestion that we write to you.
Your story has struck a chord with my husband John and me, not only because we are friends with the Rushka family or because we have a young daughter, just a few years older than you, but because another lovely lady we know, our dear friend Vi, has also been recently touched by cancer. She is fighting an amazing battle we are sure in similar ways as you. We are happy to let you know that she is doing real well. The truly remarkable thing about Vi is her positive attitude and unshakeable spirit. She obviously possesses many of the same characteristics as you do Mahonyha, including determination, courage, stamina and resilience. She knows, and has told us, that a positive attitude and an unwavering will to heal are the best weapons in her fight and we can see that you are adept at using these weapons, too. We feel inspired and very proud of you for what you have accomplished.
We want you to know, Mahonyha, that we are sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. You obviously have the great gift of inspiring all those to whom you come into contact. Your indomitable spirit is an inspiration to us and although we may be strangers, many years older than you, and perhaps with little interests in common, we feel that having had the chance to connect with you is a blessing to us.
Love to you and to your family,
John and Sharon Doherty
