Happy Halloween!!

(circa 1977)

Through this strange world of blogging, I've come to "know" lots of people through other people. Of course, we all know this whole thing, for me, started with SB's blog. But in any case, through that, I've "met" all sorts of people.

One of those people is Jojo , a perhaps unlikely person as we have drastically different views on the world. However, she's very sweet and has a daughter with my favorite name. ;)

So, Jojo shared the story of Rebekah, a little girl with cancer, because really - families of little girls with cancer can't get enough support.

So through THAT, I learned about Maggie, another little girl with very complicated cancer.

The reason I'm telling you all of this is because Maggie passed away last night, and I think anyone who believes in anything should keep her family in their thoughts. There is nothing worse in this world than losing a child. Even those of us without kids know that.

This is a sad post, I know, but maybe a little support from some strangers will make Maggie's family's world a little brighter?
