Because of caring people and a caring company, a terminally ill little Green Forest girl was flown home Friday by air ambulance from M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, so she can spend her last days surrounded by the people who love her most.

Jada Harper, who turned seven on Sept. 1, has an inoperable malignant tumor in her brain and is in a coma with a ventilator doing her breathing for her. She has been at the famous cancer center in Houston since July, but her situation is now at the point not much else can be done to help her.

1. I think that FedEx's corporate heart grew two sizes larger?

Seriously, that was thoughtful of FedEx - Kudos! ... corporations actually caring for people beyond the bottom line of profit.

2. Bless her heart. May she have an easy passing.

Good for FedEx. More companies could reach out, too. Best advertising there is, when their generosity is all said and done.

3. I've been to the MD Anderson's Childrens Ward

If you ever want to give yourself a downer of a day, go spend an afternoon there..

:cry:

4. Really tough. Probably worse than my visits to Walter Reed, though they're kids too. nt
