I am crying while I type this. My 6 year old granddaughter Rylie wrote a letter to Santa today. She told Santa that she's been a very good girl & all she wants for Christmas is for Grandmas cancer to go away & please Santa take all the cancer away from everyone & make everyone feel good.

I am so proud of my Rylie & I just had to share this with y'all.

Hugs & God Bless,

Dawne

    Yes I am
    Yes I am full of pride. My battle has hit Rylie hard & she wears her bc pin daily & has even shared with her first grade class about inflammatory breast cancer. She rode in the pink fire truck parade with me & was telling people about IBC when we stopped. She's my angel.

    Dawne, she is a special 'angel' ..
    6 years old .... and she is asking for all cancer to go away... No bike, or latest held hand electronics device, maybe a pair of Lady Gaga's sun glasses -- ??

    How happy are you that she is your granddaughter? Rylie's head, heart and soul is in the right place.. Please thank her parents for me == such a special little 'angel'.

    Awww Dawne this is sooo
    Awww Dawne this is sooo gentle. Amazing how young she is and already so thoughtful and caring, to think about all of us. Please thank her for me. Tell her I am grateful to have a 6-year old girl asking Santa to take my illness away, inseatd of a toy, which she deserves. That is very sweet. God bless your baby granddaughter. And may she get her wish and more.

    I know. And not to
    I know. And not to worry...sometimes the emotions are just too close to the surface...and it's always the expressions of love and care that bring on the waterworks.

    Hugs and Merry Christmas!

    don't you just love the raw honesty of children. She sounds like a little angel. How blessed to have her in your life, and through you, she has touched all of our lives.

    Lucky You
    Dear Dawne,

    You were born lucky to have a thoughtful, unselfish granddaughter who puts others before her. Santa must have cried when he read her letter.

    You have every right to be proud of her.

    Lots of Hugs,
    Jaenelle
