I didn't know her...

Yet my heart cries for her, and for her family.

I visit a lot of forums on the net, and over time have seen many postings about a young girl and her battle with cancer. A child, a mere 12 yrs on this earth. She lost her fight last night. A strong and valiant fight was fought, but God said the fighting was done. It was time for the child to rest, to be at peace.

No, I didn't know her, but I have seen how many hearts this child has touched. It amazes me, yet it doesn't.

In my job I see so much of the bad side of life, people cheating people, using others for their own personal gain. It makes one feel sad about the state of the world at times.

And then I see the posts of people from around the world to the family of this child and I feel their tears. And I know, there are still wonderful people out there. There are still people who care. People who have a heart and love and share.

And this child, the beautiful little girl, helped those people to see, hear, feel and love.

She has a special place in heaven. And her family has a place in my heart.
