I never thought I'd write a post like this, but I need to get this out or I'm going to bust. I just got the news that my 8 year old daughter's best friend died early this morning. Her name was Selena. I want the world to know that Selena was a warrior and an angel. She fought brain cancer for three years, and went peacefully in her sleep. We watched her brave struggle, and are thankful that she doesn't have to hurt anymore. We were blessed to have known her. I hope you all hug your kids tonight, and ask that you remember Selena when you talk to the Big Guy tonight. Thanks for listening.
wow, my prayers will go out to her and her family. She is NOW in a better place w/ arms wrapped around her.
Thanks for posting. I have twin sons who are only a few years older than Selena. Life can be very fragile and it's easy to take it for granted.
May God have mercy on her soul and I am sure he will. I hope someday your pain will ease and will be replaced by a fond memory of one that you loved and shall cherish forever..
Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. The toughest thing in the world to see is a child suffering, especially when you can't do anything about it. May God bless her. My condolences.
My prayers go out to her and her family... Well shes in a better place now and shes not suffering anymore now...
My deepest sympathy and prayers for all involved. One of my good friends lost one of hisgirls 2 years ago to brain cancer,she was 20. It's a horrible thing for a parent to lose a child and I hope your daughter does okay. You might want to talk to your daughter's school or a clergyman about the availability for some grief counseling for her.
WOW - that'll make ya sit back and count your blessings. Prayers and love to all the families............. Men, hug your damn kids, tonight. Later.....
In my Prayers,.. Revelation 21:4 and God shall wipe away all tears from there eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are p***ed away. ( hope this helps)
Man, our prayers are with your family and Selena's. At times like this only our faith that the Big Guy knows best can carry us through.Grief counseling for the little ones should be made an option.We're not supposed to have to bury children, but trust she is in the hands of her Creator, suffering no more. God Bless.....Ole Pork
as it says in the good book....children always go to heaven...thankfully she touched alot of folks in her short time here on earth!!! prayers for her family and friends on the way!! todd
This hits close to home, a very good friend of mines daughter had a tumor that was pressing on the optical center of her brain & was inoperable.... Then one morning, she went to have her monthly scan...and it was gone.... Every day is a miracle. I am sorry for your loss.
My prayers go to her family and close friends. She is an angel now in the heavens floating oh soo peacefully. My best friend of the families (known me since 5yrs old) mother p***ed away and also one of our good friends girlfriend p***ed away too. Both of cancer but both went peacefully w/ no pain. KNUX!
You wrote my thoughts exactly. I'm as enraged as I am heartbroken. My head is still spinning over this, how unfair it is! I find myself alternating between bawling like a kid and wanting to smash something. Gentlemen, thanks so much for your kind words, your prayers, and your good thoughts. It helps even though I don't know most of you. I wish everyone of you guys could have known her as we did...her bravery in the face of this disease put me in awe. I wish I had a tenth of this little warrior's guts. My most heartfelt thanks to each of you.
When I was 6 years old my best friend Craig also 6 died of cancer, I'm 39 now and think of him often. God bless Selena
My condolences to you and the family. You shouldn't have to bury your children. It's just not the natural way. I'll pray for the family and for your daughter. She's way too young to have to deal with this kind of pain. Frank
I have a 5 and a 10 year old... When my youngest was 3 she became very ill with pneumonia I was so scared. I can't imagine... My prayers, and thoughts go ut to her family, and friends... I am so sorry for their loss.
Her cancer is no more. My best friend lost his 3 year old to cancer about a year ago. It broke my heart to see the agony that he had to endure. God bless her family, I will be praying for them too. Doc.
