My Daughter, My Hero

My 4 1/2 year old little girl is truly my hero. At only 19 months old, she was diagnosed with Acute Meyloid Leukemia, and was sent to St. Jude for 6 months of intensive chemotheraphy. My husband and I were both by her side the entire time. We saw her bravery everytime she had to get an “ouchie”, everytime she had to meet a new doctor, everytime she underwent sedation for a bone marrow aspirate. She was so brave! To this day she inspires me to be brave when ever I have a difficult choice to make. She fought the horrible battle against childhood cancer, and won. Today she is a happy, healthy, little girl who will turn 5 in March of next year. She continues to amaze me with her positive little attitude and everytime we have to return to St. Jude for check-ups, she puts on a brave face and always comes out smiling! I love her with all of my heart and I know she will always be my hero! To keep updated on her and her story, you can visit, www.caringbridge.org/visit/littleabigailyoung, and post her a message. We love to hear from people who have been touched by her story!
