Cancer

by ~!*Ashleigh*!~   Apr 5, 2005


She was only six months old when i held her in my arms.she was finally free of her mothers harm

she was full of grace and charm. her life before she reached me was pure craze

Later in life , she would have dreams of being a dancer but soon those dreams would be taken away due to a disease called cancer

Now at six years of age , she and I
flip through a book with many colorful pages

why must she go through this ? i ask in terrible rage

One day she told me she had dreams of being a cheerleader once she was in middle school

but i didn't want to be cruel and that her dreams were unrealistic so i just said great

so after she told me about the dream , the cancer went into remission and finally i gave her permission to cheer

Most of her middle school career was based on cheering

Soon, she will be in high school . the only thing we didn't know was that the cancer would return in her freshman year

you wouldn't believe how many tears we saw that day

this time the cancer only lasted a month and she went back into remission and got her hair back before high school tryouts started

her favorite saying during tryouts was "i know i can"

she found out a few weeks later she did

she went from a kid with cancer to a kid that is active in sports

she would later be nominated into the homecoming court and wouldn't come up short

she always dated guys from the b-ball court !
