Perspective Once Again

Almost two years ago I posted about a sweet courageous little girl we knew who was battling cancer. Her spunkiness and charm were endearing and her courage was humbling. She lost her battle to cancer last week, and this last weekend we went to her funeral. She just had her 4th birthday. I'll never forget the sight of that small little handmade casket, piped inside with pink ribbon. Her favorite little stuffed animal lay beside her as she was finally, finally resting without pain. I can't imagine being her parents, her grandparents, her siblings, her cousins. It's hard enough losing her and just being a friend.

Life is short. Don't waste it.
