Default Princess Lilly, update, donation information

I know a really special person.

This person is named Lilly. She is a 6 year old little girl. There's something enchanting about her, she's like a little princess. Her eyes light up the room. She's sweet, mischevious, playful, and very mature for her age. Such a good girl.

Lilly has neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a cancerous tumor that develops from nerve tissue. She has been fighting this since August 2011. It is Stage 4.

Today, the doctors have informed Lilly's parents (good friends of mine and my fiancee) that she only has a couple of weeks left, at most.

Lilly isn't going to be with us much longer, but I just wanted to let everyone know how L-U-C-K-Y I am to have met Lilly and spent time with her. She has a special place in my heart, and I feel so honored to have been blessed with her presence in my life, no matter how short it might be.

I can only hope that my presence in others' lives can amount to half of how she's impacted mine. If I can manage that, I'll feel that I've done something good.

And I don't care what the doctors say, I'm still praying.

I ask that you pray, hope, meditate, whatever it is that you do, for Lilly and her family. I am absolutely heartbroken that this is happening to the sweetest little girl I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Thank you, and Mods, could you please sticky this in the Fan Zone for few days so that there can be more good vibes going out to this precious little girl and her unbelievably strong family.

I'm in. This is beautiful, positive thread in the face of a tragedy, so that's all I'll say about it, but I'm in.
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

Very moving. Beautiful little girl, not only in the picture but by what I read of her in your heartfelt description of her as such a beautiful, wonderful person. I will offer prayers for her in hopes she is helped by them, combined with others' prayers.

What a gorgeous smile. Prayers from this direction. Please keep us updated on her condition. Thank you. This is a great example of how meaningless some of our petty situations in our everyday life are.

thank you for this and thank you Lilly for being who you are.

All in.
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair....Bertrand Russell
