Dancing with angels

There are not words to describe Layla Grace's story. At two years old, she got her angel wings today after an awful battle with neuroblastoma. Her struggle and treatment were shared by thousands on Twitter, as her parents reached out for support and to share her story.

In the end, it was so rough on such a little body. I can't imagine what her parents are going through right now and hope that they know she is up in heaven with all the other children affected by NB. At the bottom of this post are some links to Layla's story, but be prepared...they are heart wrenching and the worst nightmare any parent could imagine. Here are some recent messages from her parents:

Layla hasn't woken up at all today. She slept through diaper & clothes changes, books, & me reading sweet cards that have been sent to her via Tweetie

Layla is still sleeping. Occasionally she makes noises that indicate she's in pain, but she hasn't woken up in a few days. via web

Mommy is rocking Layla. She has only opened her eyes once today. Her feet are getting cold too. via Tweetie

Layla went to play with the angels early this morning. Rest in peace precious Layla. 11/26/2007 - 3/9/2010 via web

Rest in peace Layla Grace

We will all keep fighting for a cure!

With tears in my eyes, I have been following Layla Grace's story. What a courageous little girl and what a supportive, wonderful family she has. I have been praying for a miracle since I first read her story. She's touched so many people. She will surely make the best angel. :(
