I LOVED that story. I felt like I was right there with you. And it DID remind me of Little House on the Prairie (which I love).

Went over to your site and, like Vicky, nudged you a little closer. I'm so sorry for your dear friend losing her dad and her little girl. What an unbelievable heartache. Thanks for letting us be a part.

I love relay! Even just putting up your page for donations is doing a lot to help end this fight with cancer. I personally worked on an oncology floor, my mom had cancer, my FIL has cancer, and my friend's baby has cancer. It is every where...the fight is on and sooner or later research will win!

What a great cause! I think I've mentioned to you in comments before that our family currently prays for FIVE little girls who are battling various forms of childhood cancer. FIVE of them! All ages 7 and under. It's way to common these days, and way too sad that my children know so much about cancer. Let's hope that Relay for Life and other cancer fundraising events get us to a cure faster!!!

Thanks for the opportunity to give :) I hope everyone who can, will give a little something. Even 5 dollars can add up in a hurry if given by enough people. My family has lost so many to cancer, and have several members with ongoing battles. I nudged you just a little closer to your goal!

Are you still in contact with Kelly? Will you please tell her I loved hearing about both her dad and her daughter Kate... that smile on Kate's face is a beautiful thing!!

Hugs to you sweetness!

So beautifully written Sweetie. I think perhaps you're a better fund raiser than you give yourself credit for...
We lost my little brother to cancer when he was only 30, he fought for ten years before it finally took him from us. It's a horrible thing and I want to say thank you for doing this...Hugs~

Wow, what a story! Not to get off track, but did the family who owned the house mind that everybody crashed there while they weren't home?

My neighbor down the street is a cancer survivor. Her youngest son is the same age as my oldest son, so my boys were exposed to cancer at an early age. They saw her without her wig and seemed fine with it. My dad, my sister and my uncle are all survivors. My brother, my grandmother and another uncle lost their battle. My friend's husband has been fighting for the last 3 years. The two of them have such faith and have been using this ugly disease to minister to others. Thank you for doing what you can to help in the fight. What a beautiful picture of Kaitlyn!
