    Diamond Marshall, the little girl who hugged Kate Middleton, gets ‘Christmas miracle

    http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/good-...162924238.html

    Six-year-old Diamond Marshall made headlines all over the world when she ran into the arms of Kate Middleton last summer in Calgary.

    The little girl was battling a rare form of adrenal cancer at the time.

    A heartfelt letter, expressing her desire to meet the duchess, gave Diamond the opportunity to greet her hero with flowers at the airport on July, 7th, 2011.

    She recently wrote another letter to Will and Kate: she is now cancer-free.

    The joyful news came just two days ago after a successful surgery removed cancerous tumours.

    "Call it a Christmas miracle — it is a miracle," Lyall [her father] said of the recovery.

    Because doctors still want to ensure the cancer is completely eradicated from Diamond's small body, they want to "flush her system" with chemo and provide a bone-marrow transplant.

    What good news! That's wonderful.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
