It will bring a little bit of fast growing up to them; with the great good wishes and all of the medical advances Alicia will be able to share that with them.

WARNING - FOLLOWING MAY BE TOO SAD FOR SOME TO READ, RIGHT NOW -



























When I was thirteen or fourteen, we lost a girl, Janie, in my school; this was near mid-1960s. I had known her in elementary school for a couple of years, then we moved on to different circles, but she was always there. Everyone at school loved her. She was ill off and on and we missed her. Then she couldn't come to school and the next thing we knew, we were threatening a sitdown in the halls of school if they didn't let us out for her funeral. They did and I believe it helped us to understand our own mortality a little bit, plus it helped to share our fears and sorrow. We would have traded all of that to have her back, though.

Thank goodness this does not have to be the case these days; treatments are so much better.

Sorry if this causes too much pain or fear.
