I really tear up on this seen, and when I hear the music. A beautiful little 5 year old girl from our community died in Sept from brain cancer. Tangled was her favorite movie and at her birthday/memorial celebration someone sang "I see the light" and her parents and 2 big sisters released a lantern and over 500 of us released lite balloons. It was truly beautiful and there was not a dry eye in the crowd.
This week her parents and 2 big sisters got to take the trip that they were all suppose to take. Make a wish had promised her a trip, but her cancer was so aggressive, she was diagnosed in June and died on Sept. 11th. Make a wish does not send the families after a child dies, so our community and over 18,000 people on face book contributed money to make sure this family got their trip. I think the girls had a good time, but the parents really struggled to put on a happy face when all they could think of is how their beautiful baby girl was not there. They bought her pins, got her her own autograph book and brought a stuffed hamster that she had when she was sick. they posted a photo with stitch and the hamster was sitting in his ear!!
If you want to read her story, her website is getwellgabby.org Her parents are starting a foundation to help end childhood cancer.
SO sad!
