Layla Grace

If you didn't hear about this little girl I encourage you to take the time to visit her parent's website and read about her story.

If you don't have time to go by their blog (or can't get on as they have had so much traffic lately ) Layla was a beautiful 2 1/2 year old girl who passed away this morning (3/9/10) She was diagnosed with neuroblastoma- her parents have a lot of info about it on their site but basically it is a type of cancer that causes tumors to grow in your body. She went through different types of treatment and a couple of weeks ago found out they weren't working. They took their little girl home to pass away. It just breaks my heart.

I can't read about her without crying. It makes my body ache to think about this family loosing their precious daughter. I can't imagine the strength these parents must have to make it through this. I don't think I could ever have the courage or grace to go through something so unfathomable. Their faith in God throughout all of this is such a wonderful testament to so many people.

I'm glad Layla is out of pain- she touched a lot of people during her short time here.
