33 years ago today, my beautiful loving daughter Leah Christine was born. She was born with a loving gentle heart. She was a sweet little girl, always mothering her siblings. Crying if something bad happened to anyone and would get excited if something good happened to anyone else. She was always full of hugs and kisses. Shortly after her 11th birthday she was diagnosed with a tumor in her head. After surgery to remove the cancer and a 4" circumference of her skull she would get chemotherapy in the hospital for 2 days every three weeks. This went on for 14 months. The joy and fun we all had for her at her no more chemo /no more cancer party was awesome. But 4 months later the cancer returned. Surgery, massive radiation and more chemotherapy. Chemo administered in the hospital for 6 days every two weeks for over 4 years. If there is such a thing as hell on earth she has been there. She has grown into a beautiful woman and I am so lucky to be her mother and to have her here with us. I never thought I would see her turn 33 years old and for that I am so grateful. Although there is not a day that goes by where she is pain free. The affects of what she had endured has left her body very weak and frail. I wish people would understand how sick she really is. Yet somehow she always manages to smile at me. Leah Christine you are a wonderful daughter, you made some great choices in your life and if given the chance to pick any girl to be my first born daughter... I would have picked you. I love you with all my heart... Happy Birthday baby girl! Love you, Mom
