One of Matt's friends from high school has an 8-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with a brain tumor about a year ago. She's been going through surgeries, spinal taps and chemo this past year and has been a real trooper; handling it like an adult while still maintaining some of her innocence. This past week her parents got the news that because her diagnosis is so rare, the doctors have exhausted every possibility they know to try. The docs have given her no specific amount of time; months maybe more maybe less.
When it all comes down to it: the life of this little girl; finding a cure for cancer; loving your family--that's what important. The things I worry about in my daily life pale in comparison to what Kenny and Kasha are going through. Knowing their little girl has a limited amount of time left; knowing they're going to have to explain this to her little sister; trying to kep their faith in what they know is right--I have nothing to complain about when I think about what others are not complaining about.
-peace, love and health
