just a while ago i received an email from my daughter’s school.  it was about one of the students in her class.  a girl she’s played with every day of school for almost 3 years now. my daughter kept coming home saying she didn’t get to play with her because her hip hurt.  but couldn’t tell me any more than that.  i figured maybe she had been in an accident.  no.  the little girl has cancer.  six years old and she has a cancer that started as a tumor in her hip and has now spread to her liver and her lungs.  a cancer that will be treated by 21 day rounds of chemo for the next year.
