Today we were in Taco Bell and I saw a family come in and stand in line. There was the mom, the dad, and two girls, probably ages four and five. Mom was holding one, the five year old, and Dad was holding the other. The first thing I noticed was the five year old's dress. It had big polka dots. Then I noticed her hair. It was blong like her sister's, but it was short. It was probably an inch long all over. My heart sank as I realized that this beautiful little girl probably had cancer. I pointed her out to David and told her what I was thinking. He said that maybe she had just gotten gum in her hair.
We continued to eat our lunch and after a bit, they were closer to our table and I got a look at the five year old's face. It was pale and she had dark circles under her eyes. This girl had not had gum in her hair. She had the same chemo face that Jenna had and all the other kids that we'd see in the infusion center. My heart was breaking as I watched their family and it was all I could do to keep from tearing up thinking about what they probably have had to endure. I don't know who this family is, but they will be in my prayers tonight.

So sad! :( That breaks my heart, too! I hope she makes it through it okay. I'll keep her in my prayers, too.
It's funny how going through HARD things really opens your eyes to other people going through hard things. I'm so glad sweet Jenna is better and hope we all pray for those little ones who have to suffer.
