Why a child??

A young Mom whom I know is going through a battle that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I've got to know "E" a bit before her daughter "H" was due 2 years ago. She's one of those single Mom who's doing it alone since the sperm donor tucked his tail and ran when she found out she was expecting. Don't you just loved those types, and he wasn't in his teens more in his thirties like "E".

"E" a wonderful mom who just dotes on her daughter, how many mom's celebrate the half year parts of their child life.. "E" does every 6 months "H" get a cake... "H" about ready to get her fourth cake and this is going to be an all out affair for her 2nd year of life... Only thing "H" has Kidney cancer and last week she started her first week of 21 weeks of Chemotherapy...

I know that everything in life happens for a reason and not all of it will we understand... Cancer in a child is definitely one I'll never understand, especially this child. Her mother is one of the most caring and giving person I've seen. She's always volunteering her time to help others. Maybe it so "E" can learn to except help from others... I don't know...

I feel so helpless when I hear these things... I just needed to talk about it...

I lost a granddaughter to brain cancer a few years ago. She lived in a remote area so she came to live with me for her treatments.

I have some health problems and sometimes the pain causes me to make faces. No matter how sick she was she would pat my face with her little hand and say, "You'll be okay gam". Right to the end she was always concerned about the people around her.

I don't know why our children are taken from us. The heart never heals from the loss of a child. Prayers for this child and her Mom. Mom's road of grief will be long and she'll need all the help she can get to see her through this.
