I Hate Cancer

My heart is breaking and I am so angry, sad, devastated, and
frustrated all at the same time. My sister called today. After months of Chemo, surgeries, and endless trips to Primary Children's, the cancer continues to spread. They are going to bring Alyssa home to spend as much time as she can, surrounded by her family and loved ones.


I hate cancer. I hate that it has the power to take lives. I hate that it alters dreams and hopes of individuals and families. I hate that it has taken over this sweet little girls body, and she can no longer fight it. I hate that it has taken away her agency and her chance to live a long, fulfilling life. I hate that her family and loved ones are going to have to give her that one last kiss. I hate cancer.

Pray for my sister and her family. Pray that they will feel the loving arms of our Heavenly Father and Savior encircle them, strengthen them, lift them up, and give them the comfort and peace they will need. Pray that Alyssa will be comfortable and free of pain. Pray for her sister and brothers. And, would it be too much to ask to pray for a miracle? We love you Lori, David & kids. We love you, Alyssa.
