9/29 - Destiny

On this date 3 years ago, we were a normal family, no sickness, no sadness. Six hours away, another family, who we had never met, was having their last normal day, as well. Tomorrow, is the 3 year anniversary of diagnosis day for these 2 sweet girls. Our daughter Tillery, is now celebrating survival. Our friend Destiny was also diagnosed with a brain tumor on September 30, 2014. Destiny passed away 16 months ago.

Destiny loved princesses and spent much of her life dressed as one. She loved coloring, making cards for other cancer kids, playing with her brother and friends, going to school, and cuddling with her momma.

Statistically, 9 kids are diagnosed every day with a brain tumor so it was crazy to meet someone diagnosed on the same day at the same hospital living at the same Ronald McDonald House. We also know that statistically 1/3 of those kids won't survive, so it was devastating to have Destiny be one of those.

So again, I ask, what would you do if you knew that your entire life was going to change tomorrow? I encourage you to do it!
