Victoria Has Gained Her Wings

I haven't written awhile because a lot of things have been going on mostly medically with me but I'm still kicking. Nothing as severe as what I am going to tell you.

I have sad news. BabyGirl's best friend has succumbed to the ugly cancer she has been fighting. She is now in the arms of angels with no pain. She was only 24 years old.

BabyGirl is obviously taking it hard but I know she is strong enough to get through. She told me she talked to her the day before. I am thankful for that.

I can't imagine what her husband or parents are going through.

I have known Victoria for about 10 years. She practically lived at my house at times.

She was strong, independent, bold and herself. There will never be another Victoria on this earth. She was such a special human being. May she rest in peace now.

Give Forward: A Request

I am so excited. God answered my prayers. He has given me direction.

After writing my last post I went to Facebook. A friend of my daughter's wrote on Facebook that June was not her month. She is 21 years old and her cancer has returned. This child has been through the ringer since she was 14.

I remember her coming over to my hime with my daughter.  One day she was limping. I asked her what was wrong and she didn't know. Her mom brought her to the doctor and she had Osteosarcoma of the tibia.

Osteosarcoma is cancer of the bone. Through the 7 years it has metastasized to her lungs, abdomen and other areas. She has been through a lot of chemo, and surgeries.

She is a fighter.

Even with her world upside down she focused on her education and graduated on time. She has had it rough.

She had a job and a boyfriend who cares for her deeply. She was in remission for a bit but last month it has returned.

She was working her father.  Since the cancer has come back she and her boyfriend has had to miss work to bring her to treatments. Her father fired both of them. In my opinion, it is cold-hearted.

Since she has no income she needs a little help for daily living and gas to go to treatments. I have started a fundraiser at Giveforward.com. If you have heart and a few dollars for donation, you can give it here.

Even if you can't donate I would appreciate it if you shared this story to everyone and ask them to donate, whether it be $1, $5 or whatever. Anything will be appreciated.

God Bless!
