RIP Layla Grace


I wanted to tell you all of an issue that plagues the world, that no one knows HOW real it is until they experience it or know someone who does. It is known as cancer. I can strike anyone but I am talking childhood cancer. Everyone knows it exists but most tend to put it out of their minds, either to makes themselves feel better or they just plainly dont give a shit. When i say "dont give a shit" this is more or less directed at celebrities who say, buy their daughter suri cruise a 100k paci with diamonds.

Meanwhile our babies are dying everyday. One specifically that recently caught mine and many around the worlds attention is little Layla Grace. She was 2. I say was because she is no longer with us. She passed away 3-9-10. Of neroblastoma, its a form of cancer... one of the many that is killing our kids. NO CHILD should have to suffer like this... ever. No one should (well maybe rapists and such...).

That last thing i said starts me on something else i will touch on real fast. I am an athiest and here is why. Little beautiful girls like Layla suffer their few short years on earth and the child molestors and murderers live long healthy lives. How is that in any way shape or form fair? It makes me sick.

So here is what i am asking. If you are out or get anything in the mail... anything to do with childhood cancer or cancer in general. Please donate. Anything counts. Send $20 to St.Jude. Participate if your town has a cancer walk. Do this for all the babies fighting for their lives. Do this for all the babies who have given up their lives on a daily basis. Do this for the ones to get diagnosed today, next week, next year. UNTIL WE FIND A CURE.

Do it for Layla Grace

and Brooke, and Curtis, and Jessica, and Sammie, and Adrianna, and Bennie... and all the others I have followed on caringbridge that have lost their battle with cancer or other childhood diseases.

and dont tell me you dont have time/money... because there is ALWAYS a way to help.
INCLUDING signing up here to be a bone marrow donor. Its simple. They send you cotton swabs in the mail to swab your mouth and oyu mail it back in. If by chance you ever end up being a match (i know people who have been on the registry for 20 years and never gotten a call) then you can save a life. SAVE A LITTLE BOY OR GIRL... give them a chance at living as you have done. You can then say your life had meaning and REALLY matters. DO IT!
