What has this got to do with Aidan? Well, we were so blessed to be surrounded by many who came to our aid in one way or another when Aidan was undergoing treatment, that we decided to give back by being there for those who were undergoing the same.
That is when we met Kerina who was undergoing Chemo for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
She was a cheerful person who was always concerned about everyone else's wellbeing. She had a beautiful spirit and it showed although she was under heavy medication.
Why? We may ask. Why should such a young life be taken?
We might not have all the answers but we can certainly be assured that our lives are in God's hands and there is definitely a reason and a purpose for everything that happens.
My heart aches at the loss of this lovely child but I praise and thank God for her short but beautiful life and knowing that she has returned to her Maker. No more pain, no more suffering!!
May her soul rest in peace!!!

Keep you on my google reader so I might follow a fellow warrior child.I have left a few messages over time, as your beautiful Aidan and our Zoey each traveled their road and fight with AML.
ReplyDeleteWe feel blessed to be traveling alongside such people of strength and faith,for it is the support of each other,in prayer and deed that we pass through this storm.
We have lost,at last count 10 beautiful courageous children who fought with us on our oncology floor.Each of them has left an indelible mark on my heart and I am forever changed.
Peace and strength to Karina's family as they learn to navigate their lives without this beautiful child.
May God continue to cover and keep your Aidan in the palm of His hand.
farewell kerina ! rest in peace!

ReplyDeletePlease go to this link and vote for Pepsi to make a $250,000 grant to research a cure for this terrible childhood autoimmune disease, dermatomyositis, that attacks a child's muscles.
I have the adult version of this disease. I can't imagine what it is like having it and being in grade school. Vote August 30 and August 31.
