A Lion In the House

My childhood friend of 21yrs old died of 6+ cancers

His mother was by his side the whole year.

Cancer is one of the most horrible words, and diseases in the world I think

That family, along with many others will be in my prayers...

I missed it, unfortunately.

But...I have my own happy ending. My daughter, Amy, was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor at the age of 16. I am happy to report that she is a 14 year cancer survivor. She is now a vibrant, happy 30 year old who has a job and is living on her own. She is MY hero!!

I did not see the special, but we also have a happy ending story. My nephew (Ralph's sister's 3rd oldest out of 4 boys), was diagnosed with bone cancer when he was 5 years old. He has been in remission for almost 7 years! ( 5 years remission is considred cured)

I have seen it twice! Cinn Childrens is where little Samantha and family spent so much time.

The stories were so moving. I cried both times and couldn't stop watching.
