This afternoon, my friend's grandaughter slipped into a coma. She if in the advanced stages of lukhemia (sp) and all treatment seems to be failing.
Please..... put your hearts together to pray for this young girl.....
please...............:'-(
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers....
Not that it matters but are there any details you feel comfortable revealing about her? A first name or an age? Just so I can get a bit more of a feel of who I am praying for...

I don't know the little girl personally, but i am a good friend of her Grandmother. She is 8 years old.... OH! i did see her picture and she is a little doll..... She likes to play dress up and from what i hear drawers quite well....
thats really all i know for sure....
well, that and the fact that i know she doesnt deserve this..... no child does...
Her grandmother called me tonight and asked me to put the appropriate signs on her business (her art studio is directly across the concourse from my store) as she will not be available to attend to it. She didnt talk long, she started to cry so said she had to go....

Marc--
I don't know that this will help, but perhaps even a little comfort can be gained.
In my work as a hospice nurse, working with people dying from advanced cancer, i learned a few things. I know that life is a wonderful thing, but that at some points, it can become an insupportable burden. Letting it go can come as a great relief, when one is in the endstages of cancer. I have held the hands of patients who have welcomed death like a long lost friend, and i know this to be true. I have also seen the expressions of honest joy on the faces of dying patients as they told me of seeing the faces of the people they loved waiting for them to come over--I know, without any doubt, that life does not end with the passing of the body. What happens at that point, i do not know...but i know that it is something wonderful.
Yes, we are all reduced by the loss of the potential that this beautiful and bright little girl may have realized had she lived, and that is a terrible thing. But this little girl is on her way to her next great adventure, and while i'm sad for the loss of her to her family and friends, i cannot be sad for her. Whether she returns to earth in a new body, or her essence rejoins the energy of the cosmos, or she goes to heaven, great things await her.
My condolences to the family for their loss.
humbly,
andrew

I'm sorry. I only just saw this.
She is loved. That is all one can ask for in life. And she is remembered.
