Daisy Love

Daisy Love is my friend's niece.  This sweet, brave girl battled cancer, a Wilm's tumor from the age of 5.  
While I never met her, I felt connected to her as I do to anyone who is diagnosed with cancer.  I wept for her when she endured chemo & shared in her joy of clean scans.  And when her cancer returned, I again ached for her parents & family.  I was hopeful as she journeyed to Israel for progressive treatment.  I imagined all she would experience & achieve in her life.  And sadly on February 16, 2013, Daisy went to heaven. 

Upon reading those words, I could not control the tears.  This wonderful 8 year old girl had her life before her & I felt crushed, helpless.  It was an all too real reminder that as I continue my own battle, I must live each day in the present, show my kids all my love because I never know how this life will unfold.  

Watching the memorial service, I was calmed.  This little girl connected the world in her fight & life. Prayfordaisy highlighted her journey of living & it was amazing.
