Day by day I'm getting stronger and sadly, I now understand the situation that preceded my arrival at the hospital.
My source of strength has been hearing and knowing I have so much love from my friends and family around me.  I still have some progress to make, but cannot wait to see you all.
That time approaches quickly.
Love to you all and thank you for the continued love you have given me.
Kirsten

But hearing about well you are coming back to your life is the best of news. Miss you very much and I hope to be able to see you soon. Love, Sarah

    With all my sympathy and love. I have no idea why such things happen to us. All we can do is hold on to each other. I hope and pray for your healing, that good days follow, and that you are from this day forward held in the light and love of those around you.

    Dear Kirsten,

    as a dedicated NZ fan who's been there for 4 weeks in 2010, I was devastated to hear about your accident and tragic loss. I cannot imagine ever being able to go through what you are going through. There certainly aren't the right words to comfort you, but all your friends here seem to genuinely care for you, and please continue to draw strength from them and your fantastic parents.

    Much love from Germany,
    Dunja
