Dear Billy & Akaisha, Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I'm so sorry that this is happening to you Akaisha. You have been an inspiration to so many of us who are also dealing with cancer. Sincerely, Mike Ricketts

What a beautiful letter! So true and it brought me to tears. May God Bless you both!❤️🙏❤️❤️❤️ Donna Williams

I am so sorry Akaisha. You guys are such an inspiration to me. I have been trying to travel full time for so many years now and you have kept the light burning for me through all my frustrations and setbacks. May you have a peaceful and loving transition. Wish you could report back from the other side to give us Hope from there. But then I have hope for that from other sources. Love you guys so much. Robyn Dolan

Oh, Billy, I am so sorry hearing what dear Akaisha is going thru...the poor girl! Give her a hug from me, please. And you do take care of yourself also. Ruben

May the Lord bless you & guide you thru this trial in your health. Jan

Dear Akaisha: Of course I was surprised by the news. But I'm putting you in God's hands to guide the doctor's in this situation & you certainly will be in my daily thoughts & prayers. Also will put you on the prayer list with my prayer sisters. I know God will be with you & will guide you & the doctor's. Thank you for sharing. Love, Kay 

Dearest Akaisha, You share your challenges and evolving perspectives so wonderfully, I celebrate you! Your courage and your faith are evident and are a great foothold for your healing.  "faith is the substance of that which is hoped for, the evidence of that which is not yet seen" Hebrews 11 (great read) I appreciate your sharing this very personal journey with us, and I pray to "Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think" (Ephesians 3), to do just that... May this journey continue to unveil God's love for you, to you, in new and unexpected ways. May your hope rise up in you daily, and your healing be more and more evident everyday. Strength, clarity and wisdom be unto you, and unto all who provide care for you throughout your healing! Love you!!!!! Ellie

Hi Akaisha (and Billy), Thank you for sharing your recent health challenge with us. I can imagine the rollercoaster you have been on. 🙏🏻  I really liked your suggestions for how we can help 😁❤️ I just sent you .... The feeling of my first sip of coffee in the morning ☕  I would also be open to helping you in any other way you may need. I have no problem in joining you on any part of your journey. I don't dislike hospitals and I am not squeamish. I can be with you, I can pick things up for you, I can hold your hand, I can distract you with talk about our next art projects. Please feel free to reach out to us. Jim is only a little squeamish but otherwise he is very good in all the same things....but instead of art talk he will speak about computer related things.... Also helpful if you are finding it difficult to sleep. Be prepared for a lot of wonderful feelings and lots of love to come your way. I find beauty and wonder and love everywhere. Currently I am sitting outside enjoying the fresh scent of nature, the birds and insects. Nature is very special to me. I am sending you the happiness, calmness, and peacefulness I am feeling.  Please feel free to ask us for help if/when you would like it. We are here for you both. Lots of love Kathy (and Jim)
