A friend of mine was at Anna's house last night. She said that she wasn't doing well. She also said that Anna's family was hoping that she would be doing well enough to go on one last family vacation this summer.
I know I've said this one million times but I can't conceive of that being my hope for my daughter. I think when most of us think about our dreams for our children - we think of them getting married, having their own kids should they so choose and the grandchildren we will spoil, choosing a career or life's work and most of all, finding contentment with who they are and with their life in general. It is inconceivable to me that there are hundreds of families that look upon their child with the immediate hope that they live through the end of the summer.
There are no words for that.
