a little perspective

this past weekend, friends of mine that i attended Crandall University with, discovered that their daughter was sick.  very sick.  i'm unaware of all the details, but after some bloodtests and a trip to the IWK in Halifax, it was determined that their 21/2 year old daughter may have leukemia.  


leukemia.


my heart instantly broke for them.  being a mom of an almost 2 year old myself, i immediately thought of my son, and what i would do if something like this happened to him.  i would be an absolute mess to put it mildly.  


i immediately sent her a message to let her know that i was thinking about her, and that i would be praying for her, her husband and their precious little girl.
yesterday, they found out (after a bone marrow test) that she has the type of leukemia known as ALL.  it is actually the easiest to cure and treat of the two types.  still a long road ahead for this little girl and her family.
i took this picture from her facebook page to show have amazingly resilient children can be, and we can all learn a lesson from them when faced with any kind of problem.

i'm still praying for you little one, and i hope you get well soon!
