Oh, and P.S.

Dear Rude Creepy Stalkers,

I made a decision a couple of months ago to stop posting the insane hate comments that a few people are leaving. Not many, but I do get a few that I usually don’t even read as they go straight to the spam folder. I have already gotten one over this latest post (totally expected that) which I have the power, not to publish. HOLLA! Word to being in control of your own blog! So, to my friend over at Mayadumbass@clueless.com, or really from Minnesota… I will not be publishing your comments where you say marriage is for a man and a woman only (right… because being gay is choice), vaccines gave Ronan cancer, and a few other ridiculous things. Ewwww. Get a life and stop obsessively examining mine with a microscope.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, nobody is forcing you to read this blog. If you don’t like the things I have to say, stop reading this. I am done feeding into the negativity and I am done giving you the attention you so desperately crave because you clearly have some sort of mommy dropped you on your head and daddy didn’t love you issues. Go start your own freaking blog where you talk about your hate for me and gay marriage. I’m not posting that stuff here, ever.

Enjoy your life of hate, unicorns, rainbows(oh… but not rainbows because I am sure they are too gay!), puppy dogs, and where you don’t love Anderson Cooper or Ellen Degeneres. Wow. OMG! Who doesn’t love Ellen? Even though my world sucks you know because my son DIED not from being gay but from a real problem which is childhood cancer, I am very glad I do not live in your world. I freaking LOVE Ellen Degeneres and Ronan did, too!

xoxo

Vaccines caused his cancer? Then how did my son’s get diagnosed at 5 DAYS old? Yeah, must have been those prenatal vaccines I was shooting into my stomach. Dumbass. Who would say that even if it was a proven fact and not just a ridiculous statement? Who would say “you did this to him”? And who is anyone but God to judge who should get married and who should not? What is wrong with just loving people? For all we know, he is thrilled his people are loving each other, no matter what their sex! Have they met him and discussed his thoughts on this?
Ok, hopping down off my soapbox now before I really go off!

Fuckers! I respect other peoples religions and if your religious beliefs go against gay marriage, then don’t be gay. Pretty sure your bible also says not to be a dick to others, so if you are creating asshole emails with curse words and clearly expressing hate towards others, your religion is an excuse for your uneducated, selfish, misguided, ignorance. I just tried to make myself gay but it didn’t work, so my conclusion is that being gay is not a choice.

trying to do a little investigating of this web page….cant find it, but interestingly it is connected to a web site where you can set up and track “email campaigns”. I suspect this is an anti-gay campaign and you may have caught their attention. Too bad the “person” doesn’t have the courage to put their name to something. Lots of cowards out there, but that’s not surprising. You are correct, give them no free net time. Their kind of dying out….time is on reason’s side.
More importantly, I wanted to say that while I cannot fathom your loss, I respect your courage. Thank you for being a proponent to fight children’s cancer. Many, many of us sending our best wishes and strength to you each day

Dearest Maya, you are R-O-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m always at a loss for words when I try to comment, or when I do comment… I always think that if I ever saw you in person, I would just say your name and look at you while both smiling and crying, unable to say anything else… It’s like that when I comment here too. It’s like my heart is outside of my chest when I read your words. Your words tear me open and your words linger. But your words also make me stronger, in so many ways. You and your family are a part of my day-to-day. Thank you, thank you, and I’m so very sorry, always…

I’m always so shocked to hear that such heartless, ugly people take it upon themselves to try to hurt you. It’s insane to remember that such people are out there, doing and spewing all kinds of hate. Anyway, they are no match for your awesomeness!!!!!!!!!! (That Minnesota hater’s email is now invalid– I sent a sweet litte message which was bounced back as undeliverable. whatever)

Hi Maya,
Thank you for letting me get to know you and Ronan and the rest of the Thompson gang. Your blog always has a way of putting my life in perspective. Whenever I’m having a “bad” day at work, I always come here to remember what is really important. I have a healthy 1 year old daughter. No hospitals. No doctors. No medications. How on earth could I ever have a bad day? I promise to never take her for granted, and to never let pediatric cancer be far from my thoughts and in my daily conversations with friends and family. Also, anybody who doesn’t like Ellen can suck it! 😉

Its a shame that will all that time they have to do something negative and not take your message and share it with everyone they know to help fight this terrible thing called cancer that has effected way too many poor, innocent children. Keep preachin’ (:

I think your wonderful and I don’t even really know you, but I cried when your sweet baby passed and I love my family sooo much more because of your situation and others like you out there, my kids and grand kids are my world and its just way to much to worry about or even give a negative nancy any attention what so ever!

I think I know who is doing that to you. She trolls a lot of cancer patients and their parents or care givers on the internet. She started out as a cancer support community admin, and then resigned, only to blame a teenage cancer patient for her resignition. She also claims three generations of her family suffered and died of cancer, but she hates cancer victims and their families! She went so far as to email my husband behind my back and tell him that I was secretly having affairs, how he shouldn’t marry me, and other dramatic stuff. I feel bad for anyone who is harassed by her, because I had the opportunity of driving her off of the internet, and I failed. I apologise to you for this.

I hope that the haters that make those remarks remember that karma sneaks up on you. Haters r gonna hate, lovers r gonna love. I have read your entire blog today, and what an amazing family you all are. I sincerely pray for the families suffering through childhood illness, no one deserves those prayers more then they do. I can think of no, single, greater loss than that of a child. It preys on the defenseless, and takes the most vibrant from us. I just thought your blog gave me some further insight, more than anything else I have ever read.
Thank You for sharing your journey with us, it gives me hope that there is another side.
