This will be short, for I am nearly speechless (for once). In my sidebar, you'll see a button for Abby. Click on it. Pray. Or do whatever it is that you do when you look to the heavens and beg form mercy.
This story is one that I've been slowly getting into the past few days. Not because I don't care, but because it's a part of life I wish to not think about--cancer and children. In fact, I do care, it's just emotionally draining to dig deep into a story like this. But I don't like to take the easy way. I dig.
This sweet little gal is about the age of my oldest, and in no way can I imagine living with this news. But I know many people do live this way-- everyday-- everywhere around the world. And it's these situations in which people feel so helpless. But really, it's not up to us to save her, for we are only human. We can pray, but as we all know, that's no guarantee of beating cancer. Whatever it is, God's will will be done. I just hope you'll take a few minutes to check out her video and blog so you too can get to know this sweet girl.
It's easy to deny this fact of life, but it's not responsible or what I want to do. I want to know her. I want to pray for her. And I hope you do too.
