By Meryl Wieder — Dec 27, 2014 11:00pm A story poem for Emilie to read to Gracie: What is real? asked the Rabbit one day When they were lying side by side. Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick out handle? Real isn't how you're made said the Skin Horse It's a thing that happens to you When a child loves you for a long time not just to play with, but Really loves you, then you become real. Does it hurt? asked the Rabbit. Sometimes, said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. When you are real you don't mind being hurt. Does it happen all at once, like being wound up? or bit by bit? It doesn't happen all at once. You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off and your eyes drop out and you get loose at the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all because once you are Real You can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. (from "The Velveteen Rabbit)

By Katie Olson — Dec 27, 2014 11:12pm Yay, Gracie!! We are rooting for you! Christopher and I will be lucky if Caroline grows up to be as loving and courageous as you are. You are constantly in our prayers!

By Susab and Bob Kielhorn — Dec 28, 2014 9:00pm Hi Gracie. Bob and I talked about you and your family today. We were remembering when you were first born. Then Emily came along and we enjoyed watching you play outside in the front yard. From the updates, we hear you are improving with the pneumonia. I love listening to James Gallway play his flute. It helps me relax when I'm having a tough day. Sending you prayers, love and positive thoughts.

I hope Gracie keeps finding good reasons to smile. Keep your spirit up! We love you! The Harrison's (Don, Carolyn, Sally and Margaret)

Gracie, Debbie, Bill and Emily, this site could suddenly be written in Swahili and we would all learn Swahili just to communicate our love to you. So Paul, good luck with the new site, we are with you. If you need any help facilitating any of this technical stuff I readily offer my .25 cent and will gladly call on Richard for the rest! PS - here is some Swahili I just learned: Nitasimama juu ya kichwa yangu na kufanya funny sana uso kama ungependa kufungua mdomo wako , tabasamu na hum Mimi Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus na mama yako!

Hint - TABASAMU means smile.

Hi Gracie, my daughter, Cameron, told me about what happened about a week ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about you and your family. As a mother of a 17 year old SBHS girl and an old friend of your dads (I went to Westlake High w/your dad when he was 17!) I want you to know that my heart is heavy with this news. I am sending prayers and loving thoughts your way. Stay strong Fisher family

Sending all of the love and strength and positive every I have in my soul to each member of the Fisher family. You are in my constant thoughts. Thank you Paul for this site and these updates. There's no words. . ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I am so very sorry you and your precious family are having to go through this. I am praying for wisdom for the doctors and peace that surpasses all understanding for your entire family. One thing I KNOW to be true...GOD IS BIGGER, bigger than any sickness, bigger than doctor's knowledge, bigger than medicine, bigger than ANYTHING. Thank Him for what He is going to do for Gracie and have FAITH! Draw close to HIM during this time. If there is anything, anything at all that I can do PLEASE let me know. Sending love, Grace Donnelly

Gracie, your entire Youth Symphony family is thinking of you.

Sending love and prayers from Nebraska! Our churches will be praying for all of you.

Dear Gracie, I know the visit by your "grammy" must have been super, You're so very close to her. We are all praying for you so that soon you will recover and be able to sit in her kitchen and help her make one of her super "presentations" that you make when there is company. Sending love and prayers to all the Fishers, Jo Leopold

Glad to hear Rudolf made her smile. That song makes me happy too. I am keeping up the prayers for you Debbie and Gracie!
