So Sad

[McToasty]

omg that's so sad... i almost cried reading it... I don't know what else to say, but that my thoughts are with you and the family. I think it's amazing that you care so much about them and aren't just upset that it's ruined your wedding plans. Stuff like that really does put things into perspective. *HUUUGS*

That is so sad and I'm very sorry to hear about what everyone must be going through. It really puts things into perspective though, like you said... we all need to give our loved ones a big hug.

My heart truly goes out to your and your family in the unimaginably difficult time.

 

I feel at a loss for words; just try to stay as stong as possible and tell each other how much you love and support one another every chance you get. Everything else will work itself out in time....

I am so sorry to hear this. That is terrible. Sad for the little girl and her family to be going through this, but also sad for you that you will miss them so much in sharing your big day with you. I too am going through kind of a similar situation, not any children sick, but fiance's two sisters and their families probably will not be able to make it, due to unforeseen circumstances, to our wedding either so I an understand how it puts a damper on the wedding plans. I am feeling like I should not be happy and planning my day without them... but what do you do?

 

Hoping for the best for the little one's full recovery.

 

Hope you are able to enjoy your special day.

This is a terrible situation that unfortunately happens far too often! I work at Sick Kids and hopefully your friend can find a community of support there. Her family is in my prayers!

that is so sad. please give your friend my best. And here's an idea. Since the little girl had here hopes up about being your flower girl, maybe when you come home you guys could do a little mock wedding where she can dress up and have her picture made. It is a sad thing, but she still needs fun and excitement. I think the little girl would love that very much, especially since she has all of this on her plate now. You are all in my prayers. I'm so sorry that has happened, I couldn't even imagine what your friend is going through. Truely heartbreaking

So sorry to hear this. It breaks my heart all that this little girl and her family are now going through. My prayers go out to her, her family and you.

Wow, that is incredibly sad. I can see how hard it must be for you to continue on with the wedding plans.

Definitely try to incorporate them somehow into the wedding ceremony.

 

 

I hope this story has a happy ending.

So I wanted to update this thread with some good news. My god daughter is responding well to treatment. It is very physically demanding and painful but she is a strong girl. Even through chemo and all the pain that she is in, she still has a very strong spirit and is doing great most days. She is now out of the hospital and set up in a hospital bed at home. She goes into the hospital for mostly outpatient treatment though she does have to spend about one week a month in the hospital receiving in patient treatments. It is still an intensive two year treatment plan but the doctors are now saying that if she keeps on this path she should be able to return to school by September as she should be receiving treatments only once a week at that point. By her 8th birthday, cancer should hopefully be a distant memory of something she conquered.

 

And from a purely selfish perspective, I am so happy because my best friend and her husband are going to come to the wedding if everything stays on course. As part of our package we got 2 free bookings once we hit a certain number of rooms booked. We have given these to them and her parents will watch the girls for the week so that they can come. I am so happy about this. Mostly for selfish reasons but also because my best friend is working so hard taking care of Lily that she will be long overdue for a vacation.
