It hit me today - no it rocked me today - it was a full body blow. I really thought I got it, I understood the importance of the campaign to eradicate Leukemia and Lymphoma so not another child would be at risk. After all I have been campaigning and raising money for the cure for over seven years now. I get it. Believe me I know that it's a horrible cancer and it takes our children long before their time. But today, wow, today I really got it. I got so much more then I thought possible - you see, today I got a mother's view of why there must be cure, now, today, tomorrow at the latest, definitely in our lifetime.
Today I experienced first hand why, why there has to be a cure for this cancer, this death sentence before one more lovely young lady loses the battle and one more mother loses her little girl, her precious little princess. You see today was the day that I was lucky enough to be with my daughter - fully adorned in her wedding dress - her wedding dress!
She was lovely and delicate and oh so exuberant in her moment. She was so full of life. There was something about the way she looked that actually that took my breath away. And understandably so for my little girl is just 24 years old. She is just beginning her life's journey.
All of our princesses whether 4 or 24 should be exclusively focused on life's special moments, their adventures, and not this demon disease, this cancer, this probable death sentence. In the end, I got it today, that is why I am waging this campaign, its a personal crusade, you see its for my daughter. I am not ready to lose her!
I am betting you feel the same way. Are you on board? Come join me on this quest to raise our slice of the money needed to fund the research to beat Leukemia and Lymphoma and make this campaign obsolete!
