I finally read about her.

LukeAndAmanda · February 2010

Layla Grace. As horrible as I feel for that little girl, and how SHORT her life is. I am beyond torn up about her parents. Our children are supposed to bury us. That's why my dad always says, and it's true. I can't imagine having to think about what amazing things Breleigh would be able to do and accomplish, and never being able to do it. Her poor poor parents. There are few instances in my life where I wished more that I could take someone's pain away.

Layla Grace, you will most certainly be in my prayers you beautiful little girl.

I`m sorry, I don't now, but who is Layla Grace? ?

A little girl who has neuroblastoma.

It is heartbreaking. I can't stop thinking about her. I used to work at Ronald McDonald House and we lost two of the most precious children I have ever met to neuroblastoma.

I think it's something she said, that got to me. About how we can't WAIT for naptime, or bed time. And I don't even clean during those times. I either nap or just sit somewhere quietly. If we weren't so eager for a babysitter, or nap time, or for them to calm down.

My eyes are practically swollen shut. I've been sitting here reading their blog for the last hour. Poor, sweet baby. I can't even imagine.

kelbrian · February 2010

My stomach is in knots over it. I start tearing up every time I think of her. I can't imagine. I don't want to imagine. It's just not fair.

DS had a bad fever today and I took him to the doctor. I could not imagine having something like this happen... one day your baby is fine and week later dying. So so awful.

Reading stuff like this make me so fearful everytime the smallest thing is wrong with DS.?

I won't read it, I just can't do it.

I can't even imagine and don't want to imagine what her family is going through.

There are so many terrible people in this world, so many that the world would be better without - yet this precious child will be gone way too soon. Not reading it.

I wasnt going to either. And then I thought "I don't want this little girl to die before I get a chance to somewhat know her through her parents". I would feel like I missed out on getting a glimpse of an amazing little girl, only after she was no longer here, ya know?

Oh how terribly sad.

The family pictures are beautiful; I'm so glad that worked out. I'm sure theyll cherish those forever.

That post really hit home with me too.

Yes the whole thing is tragic. My heart breaks for her sisters. I can not imagine losing a sister. What a horrible heartache!

That got to me as well!!! I had DH read it last night and we were both sobbing. Definitely puts life in perspective and makes you appreciate the little things

Lucky_Dragonfly · February 2010

Its very heartbreaking. I didn't think about her all morning and then as soon as I sat down at my desk the first thought was," I need to go check to see how she is doing today." no child should have to go through that.

MLsBride06 · February 2010

Her story has had a profound impact on me. Everytime I find myself getting annoyed that DS is getting into something he shouldn't, or won't fall asleep at bed time, or is having a tantrum, I think "At least I still have him with me and can watch him learn and grow. I can see his smiles, hear his little voice, and kiss him and hug him"

Last night when he was getting sleepy, he crawled into my lap and lay his head against my chest. I thought of little Layla and just cried. I am definitely reminded to cherish these moments with him.

I just read it too. I'm in tears. That poor family. Crying
