Somber Thoughts

Been away for a bit, I needed a cyber break. We received word yesterday that a dear friend's daughter lost her battle with Cancer. It makes you think about everything you have and how much more we could appreciate the everyday battles. I cannot imagine what my friend is going through right now. I read her Obituary online today, and I had no idea how such a tiny person could touch so many people.

Like so many people, I met Hayley through her Mom's Facebook page. I watched her turn into a vivacious little girl. She was a beautiful cheerleader, a big cheeser, and a wonderful big sister. I watched her fight her cancer with grace and laughter. There wasn't a picture that I can remember in the last 2 years of her fight that she wasn't smiling. She showed amazing courage through the toughest fight of her life.

I do believe that there is a special place for her in the great beyond as much as I believe that her strength and courage will be remembered by all those that she touched. The world lost a fierce little girl, but it gained an example. No matter how tough things got for Ms. Hayley, she never stopped smiling, she never stopped loving.

I miss you Hayley Kudro. I wish I could be as strong as you are.
