I know…why does anybody get cancer? But when I hear it in children, my heart just sinks instantly. This morning I was listening to KIIS FM on my way to work and Ryan Seacrest had the mom of a little girl named Layla who is sadly dying from stage-four neuroblastoma. They have been battling cancer as a family for over a year.
I went to work thinking about a friend who told me he has a close friend going through the same thing and just a few weeks ago, things took a turn for the worst. I asked the little girl’s name, and he replied, “Layla”. Turns out, it was the same little girl I heard about on the radio earlier in the day.
Her parents have found comfort in blogging and tweeting about Layla’s condition. I read the blog a little bit and just can’t even imagine what they are going through.
My prayers are with them all and especially for Layla…
