My sister's husband worked with Sasha's mother at V&E. I had sent the link to Sasha's CaringBridge website to a friend back in 2005 after receiving it from my sister. My friend just forwarded it to me again after I ran into him the other day. I never met Sasha or her family but her page is so moving....clearly she was an amazing little girl with equally amazing friends and family.

Dear Sasha, I never met you but I did meet your mom in the waiting area at tch. at the time my own son had been in the picu for 2 weeks. I met many people. The names and details from 2004 at tch are a little blurred at this point but some how your mother and your name never faded from my memory... I remember always asking your mother about you, she always remained positive. I remember leaving to go home for awhile because it was easter and I needed to see my other child. When I returned to tch I learned of your passing and I held my son and cried for your mom... I never saw her again but have not forgotten her, my time at tch or the lessons that children such as you and my son have taught me.. May u rest in heavenly peace, god bless.

Dear Sasha, our mommy speaks often of you. We watched the movie letters to God and we finally understood what she has been talking about. I read your mamas words to you and I promise we will hug more, kiss more because of you. I am the age you were when you went to God and I cant believe how brave you are...

Today was Thanksgiving day here in the USA. After all the festivities and dining had ceased, my daughter Lilei, who is now 8, wanted to watch a movie on Netflix. She happened to choose a movie called "Letters to God" for her and I to watch. After the movie, I had some explaining to do about "life" in general and how it sometimes don't go the way we plan it. Yes Bella, people are still writing on here because your precious grand daughter is still teaching us lessons in life. I personally couldn't think of a better example than Sasha to show my daughter the value of the life we live. She sure was one special little angel.

Dear Yuliya! We haven't seen each other for 14 years, but only an hour ago I knew your Sasha is not with you... Such a bitter sorrow... I understand you at all; I have a daughter too, her name is Dinah, she's 8.
We have the only Lord but two lives... Let the Almighty God rest her immortal soul in peace!!! Any help in Moscow, just write at my e-mail or call me at +79037599645 anytime.

Hello sweet Sasha! I can't believe it's been over 4 years since you became an angel. I know your mommy misses you everyday, as does everyone who knew you.
Sasha, I have another little friend who may soon become an angel. I wanted to tell you about her, in hopes that you will keep a watch for her. If she does become an angel, I'm hoping that you will show her the way so she's not alone. She is very sick right now and we are hoping for a miracle for her. If it doesn't happen, and she becomes an angel, her name is Chloe Schmidt and shes 7 years old.
Love and miss you Sasha!

I come here ever so often after being referred here from a motorcycle group and kept keeping up with your daughter. What is amazing is how much your daughters illness has done to keep me grounded, to keep me positive. I am 44 years old, wife and daughter of 20 and whenevr I think the world is a bad place or I am having a hard time, I come here and realize that everthing is good in my life. Your wonderful child is still affecting people like myself in such a positive way, and I never knew her or you- mom. What a special gift we all had in Sasha even when some of us didn't know her.

To Yuliya and family: thank you for inviting us to the unveiling of Sasha's memorial today. It was such a beautiful spring day . . . I spied one red cardinal flitting in the trees and that, with the breeze, was comforting to me. May god grant strength to you, Sasha's father, and to all who loved her. I still remember as if it were yesterday the moment when she ran up to me at the daycare and threw her arms around my leg in joyous abandon. She was a resplendent gift.
Grayson keeps Sasha's Valentine on the wall in his room and we speak of her often.

Almost a year...it doesn't seem possible. I think I had mentioned my 7 month old neice who was also laid to rest under the trees at Emanuel. Jenna and Sasha must have been looking out for the little girl that did finally come to us from Russia. Jacklyn has been an amazing addition to the family and we are blessed. My thoughts are with you and your family during this time of year....and always. Happy Pesach

Dear Yuliya,
Yesterday I met your Mother, Sasha's Baba, Bella, while I was visiting my mother who left me Jan. 7, 2005 and and Bella was visiting Sasha. I visit Mommy every Sunday and when I need her more than usual, during the week. I always visit Sasha and tell her that Mommy, my child's own Safta (Baba) is with her and taking care of her. In fact, when picking out 2 plots (Mommy's and Daddy's) Sasha played a HUGE role in that decision. I wanted Mommy to be near a tree, and as it is written Psalm 23, "beside still waters", next to the small creek. All of Mommy's life was taking care of her children. I didn't want her to be far from your Baby. Your Mother's being there just at the same time, was a miracle. I could finally tell not only Sasha herself, but her Baba, what she as a 7 year old did to help me pick out a place of rest for my parents. I have never met you or Bella and until yesterday before. But Sasha and I have known yeach other since December 2004. And I am sure that she in the physical life was everything tha she is today. A guiding force. My deepest respect and sorrow for your inability to touch her and feel her body. But just know that she can and does touch you and see you and feel you in your every moment of life and will until you embrace each other again. Bella, we said our good-byes yesterday under very emotional tension and pain. Perhaps some day we will find a space in which the loss of Mommy and Sasha will be the thread that ties us to each other but allows a friendship to develope beyond the searing raw pain. Please forgive me for allowing myself the selfish act of a small glimpse into your beloved daughter and grandaughter's life vicariously through our poignant coming together. Friday, February 18, 2005. Shabbat Shalom Sasha!!

I followed Sashas struggle and your mounting heartache for a long time at cycleforums.com and I wanted to tell you how many times you were in my thoughts. As a mother of two young ones, I know how we wish to just take upon ourselves the pain they face. It's always surprising how well they really do handle what life throws at them. I am glad to see you seizing hold of what you had and letting all you've lost slip by like a hot desert wind. You must know she'd never wish you a moment of unhappiness. It's what the best kids do, want only good things for their parents. May God bless you, comfort you, and enjoy the companionship of your wise young girl. She has that certain indescribably characteristic, part wisdom, part something else, that seems to exist somewhere beyond the physical body.
With it coming close to a year I wanted to let you know no one forgot.

Yulia, I am a stranger. I followed Sasha's struggle with her disease for some time via this web site. I came across it quite by accident in a web search. I lost my young husband to lymphoma a few years ago and ocassionaly search to see the progress on treatments etc. I found myself on the other side of the world including Sasha in my prayers and shed tears for your precious little girl at her passing to a better place at such a special time of the year.

I still think of Shasha everyday, especially when I get a new patient with a diagnosis of AML. I miss her smiling face so much as well as yours. You are in my prayers each and every day.

Today is exactly one month after Sasha died. I finally got the courage to write here to thank you all for what you did for Sasha and Yuliya and me. Sorry for not writing earlier - I was just afraid that I would not find the right words or that my heart would just break as I start writing.
I also encourage you to donate blood and platelets. I started donating platelets while Sasha was still alive - platelets are always in bigger demand and if you donate them in the memory of Alexandra Sasha Dvorak, your platelets will go directly to the Texas Children's Hospital Cancel/Hematology Unit where the kids like Sasha, and their families, are fighting this terrible battle with cancer.
Thank you those which made donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Thank you Rooms 6 and 10 and everybody in Little Red Schoolhouse for making donations to plant trees in Israel in Sasha's memory. I only wish I could be brave enough to come to thank you in person.
You would probably like to know that we took a puppy - a white Jack Russel terrier, yes, this hyper kind of dog, and his name is Eddie. Sometimes I look at him and think this is Sasha's soul running around this big house and having fun chasing the cat.
Again, thank you all. God bless you.

This site has gone quiet since Sasha's death but I am still visiting and thinking of Sasha and how her plight affected me (for the better). I'd like to encourage others who are still visiting this site to continue posting their thoughts.
Sasha, you (and your mother) are an inspiration to me. I am living my life better, and putting my family first because there is nothing more important in life. Nothing. Every minute I spend with my little girl is precious and you helped me realize that (even more than I already knew it). You'll be happy to know that I'll be donating blood now, so that other little girls and boys like you can fight their battles with Leukemia and other diseases.
I have cried many, many tears for you and maybe this will be the last of them. But I will always remember you. Although seeing pictures of you still makes me sad, you are in a better place now, without pain. That is comforting. Maybe we will meet someday. Godspeed, little one.
Yuliya, there are no words I can think of to say other than to express my profound sorrow for your loss. I wish you well in your journey towards recovery from this. Thank you for this site. I was amazed at all that you did with it, and the love for your daughter.
God Bless.

Dear Yuliya: Thank you for sharing the eulogy, I was not at the funeral and Miss Catherine told me that it was very beautiful, now that I read it I can only say thank you because it was an inspiration of LIFE and how to live it. Sasha lived her life fully thanks to you. You are a great mom and a great human being. Be strong and keep living your life as fully as before because Sasha is watching you and that's what she probably wants for you.
With Love and caring,

Sasha and her story have made such an impact on people all over the world. The Friday before Easter, my husband and I were at the Emmanu El Cemetery for a funeral. I thought how beautiful & peaceful it was and my thoughts then turned to your family. How fitting that this turned out to be Sasha's final resting place. I was in Seattle with our daughter & grandson when I read the news of Sasha's passing. We said a prayer for at the top of beautiful Mount Si and that is where I will always think of her. All of your individual strengths are and continue to be incredibly inspiring.

Yulia, I cannot begin to tell you how much I have learned from you and Sasha and how much I appreciate having been such a small part of your lives. I have been truly amazed by the strength and courage both of you have shown in the face of this terrible disease! I pray that Sasha is now in Heaven and her body is whole and pain-free. I also pray for your continued strength and recovery as much as is possible after losing one so very dear. Please know that our hearts are sad at your loss and that we pray for you every day.

Thank you for sharing your words with us today. I think they were beautiful and words that every mother should read and remember. I know that I have tried to be a better mother and will continue to do so each and every day. Many parents take their children, families for granted.
There is a book which really speaks to your words. I do not have the author, but the title is "The Precious Present". We all need to not forget to live in the present.
Your struggles have also reminded what is truly important in life. Many things we worry so much about every day are really not that important.
I am having a hard time letting go of this website. I continue to look at it to read other people's thoughts and was truly blessed to read it today to read your words.
I will continue to pray for both you and Bela.

Yuliya, so many of our hearts have broken to know your pain and loss. We know that Sasha was truly a gift from God. He will protect your little angel now and keep her in perfect peace. May the peace that only He can give surround you and your family and give you the hope and faith that one day you will be with her again. What a fighter she was! ...and such a bright light to touch us all so very deeply. You remain in our hearts and prayers as you continue on this difficult journey. You and Sasha are truly an inspiration to us all and have become a very special part of our lives. I was among a great many at V&E that I'm sure wanted to pay our respects to you and your brave little angel at the memorial service last week. I know we couldn't all be there, but our hearts were with you nevertheless! I hope that the tears of sadness we have all shed with you will one day become tears of joy as that wonderful day will come when you are reunited with your baby in Heaven!

The Woodlands, TX USA - Thursday, April 15, 2004 11:23 PM CDT
My wife and I had never met Sasha or her mother, Yuliya. I used to work at Yuliya's law firm and am now a client, so I was forwarded Kelly Battle's email seeking platelet donors. From that moment forward, we felt a connection and were captivated by Sasha's battle for life. Yuliya's honest and forthwright writing captured all of our hearts and made us want to do anything and everything to help her little girl. Our family, including our two young daughters, prayed very hard for Sasha, we visited this website several times a day, and we gave blood for Sasha. We have been mourning with everyone and we attended the funeral out of respect for Sasha, her mother and family and our sincere sorrow for a mother's loss of a daughter. Let me share some more of the service for those who could not be there. It was a beautiful day. In fact, on the radio driving to the Memorial Park, the DJ remarked that it was just about as perfect of a day as one could imagine - not a cloud in the sky. The chapel is an open-air, covered area with seating around the perimeter for guests. Sasha's white casket was in the middle of the chapel and her mother and extended family were seated in chairs in front of her casket. There was a beautiful framed picture of Sasha smiling looking upon all. Upon arriving, guests greeted Sasha's mother, Andy and other family members. It was very quiet as you can imagine. There were many people there - colleagues and friends from Yuliya's law firm, law school, motorcycle clubs, family and other friends I'm sure. I noticed at least a few children of Sasha's age who may have gone to school with her. Some of Sasha's doctors also were there. At about 2:00 pm, the service began with some opening words by the Rabbi. The guests all joined in reciting Psalm 23. Then, the Rabbi introduced Yuliya who spoke about her daughter. With the strength of God, a mother eulogized her lost child. Yuliya's words were sorrowful and uplifting at the same time. She shared many private moments with us and as a previous poster said, told us about all that Sasha had taught her. Afterwards, my wife remarked that what she remembered most was Yuliya stating that she learned to live for today and cherish every moment. She talked about Sasha being such a free-spirit, courageous young girl who tried everything from roller-blading to motorcycling. She spoke of riding their motorcycle together and traveling together. Sasha had traveled to three continents and even ridden a camel! Yuliya also thanked everyone who had helped her and Sasha through donations, blood donations, prayers, thoughts, and comfort. She stated that this experience, while tragic, had given her new faith in humanity. This community should be proud of its efforts although we would all give anything for a different outcome. After Yuliya's words, the Rabbi spoke again and spoke to each family member. He then led a prayer and closed with a Jewish chant which was beautiful (I apologize for not knowing the name of the chant). This concluded the service and guests were asked to retire so that the family could escort Sasha's casket to the gravesite. This was for me the most sad part - watching the silent procession of a small, white casket being carried by six pallbearers, followed by Yuliya and other family members. The family then conducted a private ceremony at the actual gravesite at the Memorial Park. We were honored to attend and learn more about a little girl named Sasha and her mother named Yuliya. God Bless you all.

Hugh had asked that something be posted here from the service today....it was a beautiful service. Yuliya spoke for several minutes and I am still amazed by her strength. The one thing that will stay with me -she spoke about everything that Sasha taught her, mostly about LIFE, we need to focus on TODAY and not let the past or future interfere with what's important...which is - TODAY. Those were not her exact words, but a very close interpretation! For the many friends and family who were there, it was an incredible testament to just how many lives were touched by this little girl. I was honored to be there, glad to be there and represented many others who were not able to attend. The family is well aware of the overwhelming love and support that exists in their 'extended family'. Sasha will always be a little piece of MAGIC in all of us. With Love...

All my love,

The Ship
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength and I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There, she's gone."
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and just as able to bear her load of living weight to the place of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her; and just at the moment when someone at my side said, "There, she's gone," there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices to take the glad shout, "There, she's coming!" And such is dying.

God's Garden
God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace Be Thine."
It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You are all in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I pray that God will surround you with his love and give you peace as only he can. I believe Sasha is in a wonderful place, without pain. She is running around, playing and laughing and eating all the McDonald's she wants. It is only those left behind who suffer from missing her.

Though I never met Sasha, I can say that I am truly inspired by her. Lots of love to her family. Take good care of yourselves.

Every morning I read all your updates of Sasha, I was so torn to hear she passed away. She sure was a special little girl. I thought of her every day and night. Again I'm so sorry, God Bless you and your family through this difficult time.

Yuliya, I am so sorry for your great loss. I hope this little poem helps to relieve at least a little of your pain.
God saw you were getting tired
When a cure was not to be.
So He closed His arms around you
And whispered, "Come to Me."
You didn't deserve what you went through;
So He gave you a rest.
God's garden must be beautiful;
He only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain;
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. May the Peace of Christ be with you.

I'm not able to express how much hope, love, and care you've shown us through this battle, and how it has drawn me closer to my children and loved ones. Sasha always was one of God's own. "But Jesus called the children to him and said 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kindgom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.'" Luke 18:16-17

Sasha's amazing spirit has blessed us all so many times and we feel so fortunate to have had her in our lives if only for a little while. I can still picture her running around the law school laughing and giggling as we chased her around. Her spirit will forever be apart of us. Yuliya, I can't imagine what you are going through, but I know that Sasha is not in any more pain now and that she will be able to run and play once again as a little girl should. If you ever need anything at all--we are all here for you. We will see you soon. Love, Jodi, Corby, & Katelyn Windham

You don't know me but I heard about Sasha from my husband. He is a friend of a friend of yours. My family and I were so touched by Sasha's story. When my husband told me that she was in need of platelets, I wanted to see what I could do to help her. I am so sorry to say that I was unable to donate due to my iron levels being too low to donate. I kept trying. I really wanted a chance to be able to help her. She is such a beautiful little angel. It hurt me so much to not be able to do anything. They told me to come back again on Monday, but as I was checking on her progress I got the worst news. I'm so sorry about your loss. I just hate that I was not able to help out. I have a daughter her age and Sasha's story has really touched all of us. Now I know how important it is to donate blood (platelets). Sasha will no longer have to suffer anymore. I can only imagine your pain. I'm so sorry.

I believe she passed on Easter as a sign to us, and that God has given her a renewed life in heaven. Although physically gone, Sasha will always be with you and remain in your heart and in the hearts of others. Thank you for sharing Sasha with us.

I just saw this website today for the first time and I felt compelled to write to you after I saw that she had passed away just this morning...the day that she has passed is the day Jesus rose from the grave. To me, that means that she has risen to heaven and is sitting up there with God, free from her pain. I will be remembering you in my prayers.

Yuliya,
May God be with you at this time and the days ahead. Your little precious Sasha is free at last. Free of cancer, free of pain. No child should have to endure that much pain. God spared her from any further pain by wrappping his arms around her and taking her to heaven, the place of eternal life, eternal freedom, eternal joy. She is truly celebrating in the resurrection of the Lord. She will be seated beside her Daddy God and with my little precious Adam. I know he will become friends with her very quick. He never met a stranger.
The days ahead are hard and very mentally, physically, and emotionally draining. Fully Rely on God (FROG)to get you through. He is there for you always. You and your family will be in my prayers always.

I was glad to hear the hope return to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you daily. Someone asked me why I give platelets, because Sasha could be my daughter, it's that simple. Maybe in the future you would like to meet a new friend. Hoping you're improvement is ten-fold. Your B- blood sister.

Hi Sasha! I have never met you before, but boy would I love to meet someone with so much strength! I work with the husband of one your mom's associates (Kelly Battle), and I have been following all of your mom's journal entries for the past few weeks. You are truly an amazing little girl and I'm so happy you're doing better! My prayers are with both of you.

Sasha,
I don't know you personally, but I know one who does- our Lord and Saviour- Jesus Christ. He is the great physician and can give healing like no other. My wife's Dad battled Leukemia, so I know how difficult this must be. Keep your head up and your eyes on Jesus. He can give a peace that passes all understanding in times that seem impossible to understand. Our prayers are with you sweetie.

Thank you Yulia for the continued journal entries. I know it is hard for you to write them and I can't believe you are able to remember so much and understand it all. Sasha has truly been blessed to have you as her mother. You continue to be so strong. You are truly an inspiration to other mothers who sometimes have trouble just dealing with day to day problems.
Know that we are praying for your continued strength and Bella's continued strength. Sasha has made it this far with your help. We also pray for Sasha's strength and that through it all she knows how much she is truly loved.
I hope you have another good day today.
With love
Susan and Olivia

I've got doctors in my family, and I have heard their frustration at medical "professionals" who forget that there are real people and real lives on the other end of their job. Good for you for calling them on it. I can't tell you how happy I am to see that Sasha's improving. If her improvement simply brings you some comfort, that's an amazing thing. My thoughts are with you and your family.

We love you and pray that if it is in God's will, a miracle will be performed for you and your precious family.

I received a miracle once at age 10 for cancer, I believe with all my heart you can too! And Yulia, I can trully see what my mother went thru now that I was entirely too young and sick to ever see or appreciate before but I am calling her and trully thanking her now every day for her courage, strength, love and positive will that I know helped save me (along with countless prayers) that I now see in you for Sasha! God Bless You Both!

Dear Yuliya, Sasha and family,
My heart truly goes out to you all. I'm sitting at my desk reading the last few updates and I'm crying. I can't even begin to fanthom the roller coaster of feelings you all must be enduring. Although the medical "experts" seem to have backed off...please remember...everyone's prayers, thoughts and positive energy still remain. Only God can make a prognosis and determine outcome. As long as there is fight in Sasha and in all of us, there is always hope and always miracles. We need to have faith that God will give us what we need and what is best for all of us. If God decides it is time for Sasha to join him, please remember that despite your pain, Sasha will be in a place of peace, comfort and love. Although physically gone, she will always be in your heart and her spirit lives in you all. If God decides she is still needed here, then her struggle will be an inspiration and a gift to others. And His gift of a miracle to us, needs to be made known to others as well, as a gift of renewed faith and belief. Please continue hoping and praying, and know that God's will has a higher purpose and good beyond our understanding.
Sasha's life has, and will continue to have purpose no matter the outcome of this battle. Try to get a little rest and place your burden and fears in God's hands. It's not over until it's over...and then only God can decide that. My thoughts and prayers remain with you and all involved in Sasha's life and care.

That was a joy. It is a great opportunity to be a part of your life. You will always be in a special part of my heart. I will keep it safe and remember all the times we laugh together, learned together, when we sang together,and when we played together. I can still believe that you can get better. I will not give up that chance. I believe you have a special place and where that might be, take your smile and happiness. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine.
I love you Sasha and all the love you bring to others.

During her all-too-brief days at school this year, Sasha and my son Nick were desk-mates, as their desks butted up to one another. This is how I know her. It is clear that Sasha has an incredible will to live and a purpose for being here beyond the obvious. What she and your family are going through is beyond most people's comprehension; your strength and courage are amazing and inspiring. Every day I have been tracking her status through your journals. I have cried and prayed, and since Friday's progress have smiled and said more than a few "thank you's" to whomever is up there listening. Keep the faith.

Dear Sasha and Family, I am not sure you remember me but I got the chance to have you in one of my art classes at Little Red School house. We made a frame that day and you had a really nice picture of yourself that you put on the frame. I feel really lucky that I got to meet you that day. I am a volunteer parent at the school. My family and I are praying for you and think of you often. When we found out that my husband was your same blood type we were so excited that we were able to help. Stay strong. We love you!!!!!

My first thought when I read your post today about Sasha's VTAC was that she needed magnesium. I was so thankful to see that your doctors immediately responded in that manner. Electrolyte problems are common when the body fluids are flucuating so much... so my prayers that your doctors are on the ball are being answered.
I can only imagine what a nightmare this has been for all of you. I hope there are moments of clarity, peace, and laughter as well. Moments when you feel the love of all around you and know that, truely, love is all there is.
Wrapping you in a big warm hug,
Jerry, Leanna, and Emily

Stacie Little emailed about you. My son also had AML 4/5; however, he is an angel after only 4 days of being diagnosed. God spared him pain. I am praying very hard for your daughter and will continue to do so. I know exactly how you feel, everything you wrote is exactly what happen to us on in 4 days. Adam had a white blood count of over 500,000 when diagnosed. Unbelieveable. I will continue to check on you and would love to come and visit/pray with you. I live in Brenham only about 75 miles away.
Continue to hold on to the hope. God Bless You.

You were so helpful at school with all the other children. You have a tough battle ahead. My you be comforted by the hand of God. I know he will take care of you. Sometimes things happen and we don't understand why. If I could take all of this away from you, I would. You are in my prayers thoughtout the day. I pray for your family as well.

Yuliya and Sasha,
I was great to see the both of you. I has been a very long time since we have crossed paths. I believe it has been since her first diagnosis. I felt really at peace yesterday sitting with Sasha and holding her hand. You have a beautiful little girl Yuliya. I enjoyed our talk too. I do have to admitt something, when I left yesterday I did cry and was amazed at the strength you have. I know if it was my child laying there I would be a complete basket case. But you are there for her and are strong for her. I admire that in you. Know that there is a special angel in heaven watching over Sasha. Here is a poem that someone put in Dustin quessbook, it explains our strength.
"The Strength of an Egg"
Parents of children with cancer are often referred to or viewed as having "strength like a rock". Albeit flattering it is not quite true. It is more like the strength of an egg. An egg you ask? Yes!
If you'll think about it, you'll see my point.
An egg has a polished, smooth outer appearance, with no cracks or weak spots visible. It seems almost inconceivable that the inside might not be
as smooth or solid.
Most children, at some point, are shown the famous egg trick. An egg set at just the right angle can withstand enormous amounts of pressure and cannot be cracked or broken. Yet the same egg, tapped gently at an even
slightly different angle, will break. The contents, once so neatly concealed, will come spilling out. The no-longer perfect shell will be crushed. It looks so fragile that it seems inconceivable that it ever held any strength.
A rock, on the other hand is solid all the way through. To break it is almost impossible. If you succeed, you will find that there is nothing inside but more rock. It takes a lot more than pure hardness to hold the "HAND OF HOPE".
Parents of children with cancer are not solid all the way through. We hurt, we fear, we cry, we hope. It takes a very careful balancing act to keep the shell from being shattered. "Balancing an egg" while running a household,
going for doctors' visits and hospital stays, keeping the family together, and holding on to the constantly unraveling ties of your sanity can be very tricky indeed!
Occasionally, the angle will be off and the shell will break, shattering hope and the neatly secured appearances of a truly fragile existence. Unlike Humpty Dumpty, though, parents of children with cancer will pick
themselves up and put themselves back together again.
always in our thoughts, hearts and prayers..today and forever!!!

DEAR YULIYA
Having recently lost my wife to MS complications I know what it's like at a time like this. May God make you and your family strong so you can cope with whatever plans God has for your babygirl Sasha. My Children and I will pray for little Sasha and you. God Bless all your family.

Sasha and Yulia,
As are so many others, we are keeping you very close in our thoughts and prayers. I know that there's nothing in the world that anybody can say to console you or make this easier, but when you say you're asking for a miracle, all I can think is that Sasha herself is the miracle. She's a beautiful girl with a wonderful soul and a smile like a sunrise. God bless you both,

My Cousin sent me your website so that I might be able to give you some support, you see I am an AML survivor, I know how precious life is to all of us, and how utterly devasting and hopeless we feel when things do not go the way we had dreamed they would. My heart goes out to you in many ways, I know it takes courage beyond words to stand by and helplessly watch the person you love more than life itself go through the hell that Sasha is going through, I have seen it in my own parents and family members faces. The only solace I ever found on a day-to-day basis through my illness was remembering that I had to "let go and let God". Even though it may not seem like God is smiling on you at this moment, he is smiling on your daughter, even though things may look very tough for her from the perspective of you looking at her frail little body, her soul is strong and at peace. I spent a hard week in ICU myself, I was totally out of it and was nonresponsive and my family was devasted, just knowing in their hearts that I wouldn't pull through, and I can tell you for what it's worth to you that I was never in any kind of pain, I only felt calm and at peace. There are no words however that will ever take away your pain and broken heart,--have strength and courage and may God carry you through this long and hard journey. God Bless.

I have wanted to call or write for so long and I have hesitated to do so. I am so so sorry. Ms. Catherine called me last night and she too is at a point where words cannot express how we feel. There are no words to take away your pain. I can only remember the wonderful birthday party Sasha was able to have this year with her friends. She was truly happy. I feel blessed to have known all of you who are truly amazing. I send my prayers to both of you (mom and Bella).

No words can ease your pain at this point, but please take some solace in knowing that by sharing your story, you inspire others with your and Sasha's wondrous example of strength, courage and perseverence.
I wish for nothing but the best for you.

It is 2:00 am in the morning. I just finished cleaning up all the equipment here at work from a house fire. It was a fully involved fire and pretty much a total loss. I am very tired, exhausted even. Yet I can't seem to close my eyes to go to sleep. Even though it would help to relieve the burning in the them. I feel guilty for even thinking about myself and my minor discomforts compared to what you must be feeling right now. I'm sure that you also are awake with your own thoughts. I beg God that he help you and yours think of the good things that have happened and the good ones to come. May he be with you and grant the miracle that you so much deserve. Yuliya, give Sash a kiss on the forehead for me and tell her I can't wait to see her out on another ride. The love of my family, along with our prayers, goes out to you. Hang in there girls, you have already proven you're fighters. T

My heart goes out to you and I wish you & your daughter the best of luck. Loosing a child for any reason is the hardest thing anyone can go through in life. But never blame yourself as disease is out of your control and there is nothing more you could have done or did differently. You must always be strong for your little girl even if she doesn’t beat this as she will always be looking down on you from heaven.

Julia,
I think of Sasha dancing in her beautiful little white dress at my wedding and it makes me smile; she was happy, and she gave joy to everyone who saw her twirling away. It breaks my heart to know what she is having to endure, and it breaks my heart again to know what *you* are going through.
I wish I could do something. If hope and tears were enough to bring a miracle it would have happened a hundred times by now. But I guess miracles are the province of someone else, and the best we can do is just badger Him into sharing a few now... I know He's sure getting an earful from me.
All my love,

I cannot fathom the torture that you and Sasha have been going through.
My daughter is 8 and we have been reading your posts together each afternoon when she comes home from school and she says a special prayer each night for you and Sasha.
Reading your posts brings home how precious each moment is with our loved ones. I'm going to be getting her that puppy she's been begging me for even if they are a pain.
We are praying for you, Sasha and your family.

Dear Yuliya,
My husband, Cameron, was in law school with you and I was one year below. It is with great sadness that I heard of Sasha's illness. When I learned that platelet donors were needed, I rallied up a few co-workers who had the same blood type.
I wish there was something more I could do for you and Sasha. As a mother, I can only imagine the pain you must be feeling right now.
I am praying for you and Sasha. Please know that your little girl has touched so many lives.

I pray that God will continue to give you the strength to deal with each and every day -- including when it is time to let go.

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven

assist me in this necessity.
Oh, Star of the Sea help me and show me herein that you are my Mother.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Empress of Heaven and Earth! I most earnestly
beseech. Thee are none who can withstand your power. Oh show me herein that
you are my Mother.
Oh, Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3

Sweet Mother, I place this case in your hands. (3 times)

In your last update you said "all I can think of is how I failed to protect my baby and how much this hurts
Please pray for her.
We need a miracle."
I know this doesn't make it any easier but, This is not something you can protect her from. As a father I understand what your feeling but - We as parents have to also accept the fact there are things beyond our control. That doesn't me we have to take it lying down we will always fight to protect our children with every part of our being. My family and I will keep you and your daughter in out prayers

Dear Yuliya:
I have been in your shoes and know your pain all too well . . . please know you are not alone and neither is Sasha. There are few if any words that can truly be a comfort in a time such as this, except maybe just knowing others have been there, too. I am thinking of you and praying for you both, as well as your family . . . My daughter was a cancer patient at MDA in 1990 (she was 3 1/2) and though we may have lost our battle with cancer, so many other kids who were patients with us pulled through and have gone on to lead full, happy lives... Miracles CAN and DO happen, DAILY, so don't give up. God is with you both, and so are we... Please feel free to email me if ever you want someone to talk to or if you would like help finding a support group for parents - they helped me a great deal.

Dear Yuliya,
I received a prayer request about Sasha through Scott Friday via an ST-related list. I am so sorry to hear of your dear daughter having to go through this ordeal. Though I am suffering the chemo ritual, my pain and sickness does not compare at all to what you both are going through. May God give strength for this very difficult journey you are both going through. May our Kinsman-Redeemer ease Sasha's suffering, and may He heal her.

Please know that you have done and continue to do all that is humanly possible for Sasha. She is in God's hands and He is watching over her. You and Sasha continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as you are in so many of your friends and family. I pray that God continues to give you and Sasha the strength you need. Much love, Linda

Dearest Yuliya,
My heart is with you and Sasha. I can't sleep tonight thinking about and praying for you, Sasha and your family. I've been following the reports daily and one thing you've said haunts me above all others, "all I can think of is how I failed to protect my baby." Yuliya, please let that thought go. I know you have done everything possible - and then even more - for Sasha. Your bond is so precious and strong, as mine was with my mother. In fact, you remind me of my mother. I was very sick as a child and she eased my pain and discomfort by all she did for me, most especially by her presence. I know Sasha must feel that too. My mother's love for me was very fierce as I know yours is for Sasha - a wonderful gift for a child. May the fact that so many, many people are wrapping their thoughts and prayers around you, Sasha and the rest of the family give you some degree of comfort and peace tonight and always.
Love,
helen

Yuliyah, let me just say that God feels your pain and He knows your heart. Speak life into your daughter's future. The tongue is powerful and so is prayer. Continue to pray and thank God for Sasha's life. Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Always pray with Sasha, whether she's awake or asleep. Let her hear her mother's prayers. She will gain strength from you. There is nothing too great for God to handle! You and Sasha are in my prayers. Kiss your baby and tell her that God loves her.

I don't know but can only imagine that it has to be hard, but you must keep yourself up and good for Sasha. Sasha, you hang in there too, girlfriend. Do you realize that you have people from all across this nation - and probably other countries by now - praying for you? That's awesome punkin! You and Mama give each other a big ol' Mississippi hug and when you get better and y'all need to get away, you tell Mama that you want to head to the country in Mississippi and come sit on my front porch sweetie. Yuliya, I love you so much girlfriend and wish I were there. Remember that I am in spirit. Lord, please wrap these wonderful ladies in your arms and keep them comforted.

The Lord our God Jesus Christ is all powerful. I know that the Lord can heal her if it is His will. For those praying for her make sure that you are praying with great faith that she will be healed. I leave you with this scripture to keep your minds on the Lord and to remember that His will is perfect. Psalm 103:15-18 Human life is like grass; we grow like a flower in the field. After the wind blows, the flower is gone, and there is no sign of where it was. But the Lord's love for those who respect him continues forever and ever, and his goodness continues to their grandchildren and to those who keep his agreement and who remember to obey His orders.
Praise be to the Lord our God if He allows Sasha to remain, Praise be to the Lord our God is He takes Sasha home to be with Him.

Sasha -
I just wanted you to know that I am believing for your full recovery...I have written down two scriptures from the bible for encouragement...
the first is a scripture from the bible letting you know that you have a great purpose and destiny...
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
The second is to remind you that Jesus loves you and he died on the cross for you and your health...
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5
I will continue to have you in my prayers. God bless

I am the mother of Ashley, a 13 year old who was diagnosed with ALL at the age of five. She went through 2 1/2 years of extensive chemo. She is doing great now and is in the 7th grade. I empathize with you and your family completely. I know and understand what it is to watch your child suffer. Ashley was hospitalized with pnuemonia 8 times due to her weak lungs. I have great confidence for the Drs and staff at Texas Children's Hospital and know that she is getting the BEST care possible. My faith in God is even greater and do so pray daily not just for Sasha, but for all children the world over that are suffering from such illnesses, that he will heal their bodies and remove any pain that they may have. I also pray that God will strengthen you ( the family ) as he did me and my family.
My sincerest prayers for Sasha and her family always,

Dear Sasha and Family,
I didn't know until now that you had a site. I was reading about her and wondering how she was doing because we miss her beautiful face on the 9th floor. I can still see her roaming the halls, from when she was first diagnosed back in the summer, doing her original "IV pole figure skating" I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and praying for you.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sasha and all her family.
Don't give up because miracles really happen.
I've had a daughter for almost 2 years in hospital (premature) and she has had a ventilator until she was almost 3 years old. In the beginning and for more than a month she needed 100% of oxygen just to survive. Once, after a surgery, she was like that, her internal organs started do not function because she got a severe internal infection. In a desperate attempt to save her the doctors did a "fibroscopy"?? although they thought, and told us parents, she wouldn't survive it. But she did and reacted rigth after that, and her "jegunostomy" (a little hole in her belly for eating) started to pouring the internal fluids of her infecction.
It was miracle, i really hope an pray that your miracle can happen too. It will, have faith.

My God watch over you two.

Every day, every moment is a gift. It's a hard fight but I can see in your eyes that you are a lot tougher! Be positive.

Sasha and Yulya,
I have been in Florida to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday, but you have been on my mind. The Rabbi did a lovely tribute to my mother at Friday night services and then they do a prayer for the sick and allow people to say names of those people to be included...so, the entire Sarasota congregation is now praying for Sasha!!
I will try to get by soon to visit...please let me know what I can bring...other than my standard chocolate!! Wish I could bring you some rest!

What is love?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13:5-7
We Love You Sasha!
