Wow, this posting simply blew me away! I thought for sure it was written by you, an adult. It is so beautifully written and poignant.
Amelia, you are a special young woman. Your mom is so lucky to have you in your life; in fact, you are lucky to have each other.
I know you will do great things in the world. Your post brought me to tears. I simply love it and will be reposting it so many others can read it.
I thought Lauren had written this as well! Amelia, you have your mother's gift of the pen. And I love your magic pink boots. I agree with Beth (above): You will grow up to do amazing things because you already are so amazing!
thank you so much! i really appreciate it(: thanks again. i plan to grow up to be just as amazing.
I agree with the other commenters…you both are blessed. Great job Amelia–yes, I was moved to tears, too. It will be exciting to watch as you expand your wings. I truly believe it will be one of our daughters wearing their pink boots who will discover the cure so NO little girls or thier mama's have to experience the pain and fear of cancer. Best wishes to you both!
thank you so much. im glad you enjoyed it. i agree completely(: thank you!
This has me in tears, Lauren and yes, you do have an exceptionally special daughter.
Amelia, this is a beautiful love letter between you and your mom. I know you make your mom very proud. And I thank you for sharing your feelings with all of us.
There will be a world without breast cancer. We are all going to make it happen. Your words just make me more determined to push the scientists.
Life is filled with things that make you want to be a better person or do a better job. For me, your words did just that…..
thank you very much! im so glad you liked it. i hope one day there will be no breast cancer so no more seven year olds have to go through what i did!
Oh, Amelia! I agree with Renn and Beth–you have inherited your mother's gift for writing. This was wonderful. I love when reading stuff gets me all goosebumpy and schmoopy. There is an Awesome Gene in your family, of that I have no doubt.
thank you so much(: im glad you liked it! i hear from my mom theres an awesome gene in your family as well!
Well of course you are amazing — look at your role model! What a beautiful post. You are once cool chick, miss Amelia. My hope is that girls like you and my sweet little Macy girl are the last generation to watch their mamas battle breast cancer. May BC be something you and Macy tell your grandchildren about, only to have them wrinkle their little foreheads in confusion. Sorta like when I tell Macy that the phones in our house used to have cords and were attached to the wall! Great job, sweet girl.
thank you so much! i appreciate it! i completely agree and hope that as well.
Wow. Amelia, you're a brave and remarkable girl, which is perhaps no surprise, because you have a remarkable mom. Thank you so much for writing this. It's a rare and moving privilege to be able to hear from you. None of us would ever wish this experience on any child, of any age. I hope that your generation will see an end to breast cancer. And I hope your mom and I will be around to see it with you.
thanks so much! im glad you liked it! i hope so too. im right along with you in that dream. thanks again.
