Please read:: I got this in the mail the other day.
Dear
Tori,
My name is Brittany. You
and I have not met.
But I'm writing because I've been told you're one of the reasons my 3-year-old daughter, Allana, is still alive.
I'm also writing because doctors at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital say she's not out of the woods yet. .
Let me explain.
Last spring, Allana started losing the ability to use the left side of her body. And she suddenly couldn't tell me her colors.
I knew something wasn't right, and rushed her to our family doctor, who called a neurologist. He told us that Allana had to go immediately to our local hospital for an emergency MRI.
That's where I first heard the words, "Your child has a brain tumor." It was the worst possible day of my entire life. And it was about to get even more devastating.
Allana had a neuroepithelial brain tumor, which is extremely rare, and very little is known about them.
And further testing showed that Allana's tumor was huge. It was more than a quarter the size of her brain.
Doctors at our local hospital were able to remove the entire tumor. But I was crushed when they gave Allana only a 10 percent chance of living another six or seven months.
We wanted a second opinion and, after researching hospitals online, we decided St. Jude offered Allana the best hope for a cure.
As soon as we walked in the doors, we could feel the kindness and compassion. Everyone at St. Jude cares . . .
St. Jude doctors and nurses have always given us hope. They focus on the positive and always have upbeat things to say.
Allana was on intravenous chemotherapy for six months, and is now on a six-month treatment program of oral chemo.
I may not know what the future holds, but I feel like Allana has endless possibilities. And I will always know that St. Jude is the right place for her.
I will never give up on my daughter. And neither will St. Jude.
St. Jude has helped tripple the overall survival rate for childhood cancer since they opened in 1962, and I'm praying they will find a cure for my daughter.
And that brings up something else St. Jude tells me: that they can only find cures and treat children like Allana because of the loving gifts received from people like you.
My family is overwhelmed by your generosity. Without people like you, the research allowing our little girl to make it this far might never have been possible.
Our prayers are for St. Jude to continue its research, so that one day soon when parents are told their child has cancer, they will also hear that the cure rate is 100 percent. And that their little one will live.

I believe that day is
getting close for Allana and all children of your caring support
for St. Jude.
God bless you,

My mother taught me this trick: if you repeat something over and over again, it loses its meaning. Our lives, she said, are the same way. You watch the sunset too often, and it just becomes 6 PM. You make the same mistakes over and over, you'll stop calling it a mistake. If you just wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, one day you'll forget why. Nothing is forever, she said.
Don't
let
"I miss
you"
fool
you
There are only 86,400 seconds in a day, and only 1,440
minutes in a day...
And I wasted all that time on you, for nothing and I regret
it because, I could've used those for someone who actually wants
me...
"Why are you so shy?" — Literally the dumbest
question to ask a shy person ever.
