I've been reading your blog for quite a few years and just always have felt for your family. I got pregnant with my second daughter in October of 2009. I decided to name her Tuesday. I hope that doesnt sound strange to you. She was born May 29th 2010, Tuesday Penelope. Hope it brings some comfort to you that her name (at least her first name) lives on. God Bless you and your beautiful family! I just wanted to let you know how deep your story has touched me. I’ve been reading your blog for quite a few years and just always have felt for your family.

People two weeks ago are falling in love with Tuesday and the Whitts. I come here because I miss you, I miss Tuesday. And yet, you guys are reaching every corner of the globe. I pray for you and from what I can see, so are many.

Normally I probably wouldn't post a comment since I am a "stranger" but I think it is important for you to know the impact that you have on your readers, friends, family, etc. I am truly inspired and my eyes have been opened to the harsh reality of pediatric cancer. I am lifting you and your family and all people close to sweet Tuesday up in my prayers and will continue to do so. I think you are doing a GREAT job in raising awareness about pediatric cancer and ensuring that Tuesday lives on. I am so sorry for your loss and I am so sorry for the pain that you and our family feel each and everyday. I hope you are able to take comfort in knowing that your sweet baby's story is having a huge impact on people all around the country & possibly even world! It's hard to come up with the "right" things to say but I think saying something, anything at all, is better than saying nothing. It is nice to know you're being thought about, or I think so anyway!

I have no idea how I would deal with a loss of a child and, even though it may seem like you're a whirlwind of emotions and can't get a grip, all I can do is applaud your efforts and empathize. I wish I had known about the shaving fundraiser when it was happening! I have nothing to give but my hair and in comparison, that seems like nothing at all to lose. Jess, I only pray that it get's easier to celebrate her life rather then revel in all the questions and the what ifs. When my best friend died, all I could hold on to is my belief that every one of us has some sort of purpose on this earth and he must have fulfilled it. Jeremy died leaving an extraordinary legacy behind that people with decades of advantage could only dream of leaving behind. And anyway, I believe I'll see him again one day. So he isn't really dead... He's just changed neighborhoods. <3 I’ve just read every single one of your entries and I’ve got to say that I admire you.

I fell in love with Tuesday at the time she was diagnoised and have prayed for her and your familly ever since. She always looked happy and I am sure she always felt your and Charlies love. Having watched my parents when they lost their children I know how heart wrenching it was for them and how it changed them for the rest of their lives. So you continue to be in my prayers and thoughts every day. May God bless and keep you and your family safe and healthy. Jessica, I admire you so much for all you are doing.

I'm so very sorry about the loss of your precious angel. Your slideshow left me crying, yet smiling through my tears. Your Tuesday looked like such a happy child, despite all she was going through. That smile just radiates joy! I plan to go back through some of your archives, and I already went back a couple. You have renewed my pride in my son for participating in the St. Baldrick's event at his school for the second time this year.

I have been here several times before. Each time, I sometimes silently and sometimes loudly sob as I read your articulate, beautiful, aching, poignant, heart-wrenching words. You have a gift when it comes to story-telling, and you have the uncanny ability to put into words what most of us aren't even conscious of thinking let alone of putting into verbage. But I really wanted to say to you is that each time I'm here, I go away a better mom. Your devastation has given others the gift of depthless appreciation and love, and isn't that what all kids want, and more importantly, deserve? So thank you. Thank you for re-aligning me and, I'm sure, hundreds of others. And if they could, or knew, our kids would be thanking you, too. Here's to community and fellowship. Dear Jess and family,
