Today a note that brought me to tears

Today I received this comment relating to my video -Raising Bree on my YouTube channel.-----

No words could Ever describe the Respect I have for you Wendy. I just came across the Video of You and Bree.... and then minutes later learned that Bree has moved on. Big, furry, 270 lbs USMC Vet. and I can't stop the Tears coming down my face and Smiling at the same time... YOU and Bree touched me today in a way that I didn't think was possible. YOU Are a True Hero Wendy. I Hope you find Happiness and Peace for the Rest of your Days. Thank you to You and to Bree 

To know that my daughter still opens hearts is why I forge on and daily block and delete trolls. I do not consider myself as a hero because  I just loved my daughter and it always felt very natural to do whatever I could to support her in being as healthy and happy as I could provide. Bree was my greatest gift and she came into my life, shook it up, and she patiently put up with me and remade me into a much better soul.  She patiently grew my soul. 
When I read a comment like this, the tears flow and I think - Bree touched me everyday of her life in a way that I didn't think was possible. That she also touches others, well she is my hero...........

      Thank you, and my daughter Bree was not only my motivation but my teacher. It has been very challenging for me since her passing yet to be able to continue sharing what she taught me just through her presence , inspires me to keep sharing. Bree was such an amazing gift and I feel so blessed that I got to spend just short of 37 years with her.
      It was all I knew how to do . Search for information and methods to give my daughter a long healthy/happy life. Bree knew she was always loved and wanted. Thank you

    Wow Wendy, you are just so special. If all mother's were like you, the world would be a wonderful place to be in. If my mother was half the mother you are, I would have had a wonderful childhood. Bree was so lucky to have picked you as her mother, and vise versa. I want to thank-you for loving Bree the way you did. I know you don't see anything special about the type of mother you were, but I do. I'm sending you a great big hug, because you deserve that and so much more. You are one of the most unselfish persons I know. It warms my heart to know that people like you really do exist. Thank-you for showing me what unconditional love really is. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you....

This morning I was reading "Befriending the Stranger" by Jean Vanier. If you don't know of Jean Vanier, founder of L'Arche, then you are missing out on an amazing spiritual teacher. When I read this passage, I thought, yes this was exactly like my Bree. In one of the communities on the Ivory Coast, a young girl had been abandoned in the brush. (We do the same thing here except we make it look prettier yet it is still abandonment). She was brought to the L'Arche community. They knew she would never be able to walk or talk. They could never quite understand what she was thinking. But - whenever anyone came near her and called her by name her whole face would light up. she had an exceptional beauty. She was completely incapable of judging or condemning anyone. But if people did not pay attention to her, she could feel hurt. (My Bree) One day while I was looking at her, I thought to myself, Jesus must be a bit like that: Neither judging nor condemn...

I need to give blogging a chance and see if sharing my years of care giving experience can be of  help to,so many others who right this minute are caring for a loved one and feeling alone and overwhelmed.  I have had some trouble with trolls and that has caused me to delay posting. I spent just a couple months short of 37 years care giving my daughter Bree. I cared for an end stage Alzheimer's patient during the last 6 months of her life and helped out a PTSD army vet with food shopping, house cleaning and dealing with short term memory loss. These experiences total 4 decades of my life and it is very easy for me to be the care giver, far too easy. The last care giving job with the Alzheimer's patient ended just 2 1/2 months ago.   Four decades later and now I need to start over and it is challenging finding my way.  I have moved 3 times in the last year for jobs and fulfilling a commitment to my daughter. People tend to know me as a care giver and are recommen...

A Letter from a young 17 year-old boy on how Bree touched his life

This is an e-mail I received last evening . The sender asked to remain anonymous. It touches my heart to see how my beautiful daughter Bree has inspired so many. Hi Wendy, I am a 17 year old boy and I live in CT. I found your "Raising Bree" video by chance one night and I have not been the same since. You have inspired me in such a short amount of time. Since watching your video I have changed my diet, started meditation, breathing techniques and your tapping methods. I feel so much better about myself and my health. I have started journaling, and I write about you and Bree a lot. I write about your journey, and how it had inspired me and how I feel closer to my spirituality because of the energy you and Bree release, even through a video. My grandmother was a caretaker for my great grandmother who developed crippling Alzheimer's. Although her 4 years couldn't even compare to your lifetime of caretaking, I was able to relate to your struggles. Your f...
