I just got done reading of yet another child dying of cancer. This wasn't a rare cancer, Ashley actually had the 'good' type of leukemia, if there is such a thing. Ashley just celebrated her 11th birthday a couple months ago. This April Ashley relapsed for the second time and her only chance was a bone marrow transplant. It took quite a while for her to achieve remission but after she did she got her transplant. It was all to much on her body and she passed away yesterday. She fought so hard and so long, she was diagnosed at age 3. Her little brother Ryan was also diagnosed with leukemia but is off treatment and doing well.

We are never promised tomorrow so live everyday like it's your last. Tell the people you love how much they mean to you. Spend time doing things you enjoy with people you enjoy. Don't put off important things, and forgive.
In this holiday season I ask that everyone do something nice for someone. Put a smile on someones face, put a smile on your face.

We all should really take cues from such tragedies to live like we were dying. I can't think of the name of that country song right now...oh well. Thanks for the reminder.
