If you have any "un-shed" tears, and have some time.....
I stumbled upon this site while looking for new tsunami pics at pbase.. This is a heartbreaker, but a very loving tribute to a gorgeous and brave young girl..:cry:

1. Oh dear,this is sad
Can't help but wonder why when she was so young. One thing though - she seems to have been very much loved.

2. Everytime I see things like this, it reminds me of my younger
sister who who we lost to brain cancer in 1983.

She seemed like much the same type of person, beautiful, outgoing, well-loved, and extremely loving of others.

When she was 8 years old and sick from chemo, she was visiting other children in the hospital trying to cheer them up. When the nurses tried to get her to stay in bed, she told them to shove it, she told them that making the other kids happy made her feel better and that's why she was at the hospital was to feel better.

She was a really special kid.

3. Your sister sounded like a wonderful child..
Our oldest spent a lot of time in the hospital as a kid, and I was always so thankful that he was nto as sick as so many we sanw over the years..

It's so sad when the young and innocent are ill or die.:cry:

This young girl had everything to look forward to and she never got the chance..

4. She was a pretty neat kid :)
She used to draw and paint pictures for all the people in the same section as her at the children's hospital in Phoenix. All the nurses and most of the kids had pictures done by her :).

Many of them wanted to give the pictures back to my mom after my sister died, they wanted her to put it all together into a scrapboo, but my mom refused to hear it. She had already decided that those were gifts because my sister wanted THOSE people to have them, not my mom.

My mom is also one in a million :)
